Global warming
With natural calamities around the globe, in different forms of extreme rainfalls, earthquakes, tsunami etc and with the global leaders going busy (lately enough though) to sort out measures to cope with them, the world seems, however, to have a little respite before conceding some unprecedented damage. It is however to be mentioned here that the West, the USA (the developed countries) have been using industrial fuels (carbon) and thus emitting them indiscriminately right from the time of the Industrial Revolution. China, the Asian Giant, joined them lately. Now the questions that are haunting us, when the whole globe is on the verge of a disaster are manifold: why didn't all these developed countries take the necessary measures to control the menace? If they had taken steps in this regard, then, at what proportion did they do it? Were they not aware of the future devastating effect of carbon emissions? And again, the more frightening point is that the developing countries, Bangladesh and some more, are going to be the worst victims of the calamity, where they had very little or no involvement whatsoever. Under such circumstances, however, what the leading nations of the world should be doing, without any doubt or hesitation, is that without further delay they should wage a united war against this inevitable disaster. It is interesting to note at this moment that the US president George W. Bush is going all out to stop it. Finally, I urge all the leading nations to fight against this danger all united and quick. Nature, otherwise, might strike furiously.
