You might have already read about Climate Change.
In common usage, climate change describes global warming—the ongoing increase in global average temperature—and its effects on Earth’s climate system. Climate Change in a broader sense also includes previous long-term changes to Earth’s climate.
“Global heating is technically more correct term than Climate Change because we are talking about changes in the energy balance of the planet,” U.K scientist Richard Betts said at the UN climate summit in Katowice, Poland.
What is Global Heating ?
The Earth absorbs radiation from the Sun and emits some of it back into space. If the amount of energy emitted matches the amount it absorbs, the planet’s “ energy budget ” is in balance, and the surface temperature remains steady. If the incoming and outgoing energy are not balanced, the planet is either heating or cooling over time.
In simple words, Global Heating means that the amount of energy absorbed by Earth from Sun is more than the amount of energy emitted.
Global heating causes abnormal changes in natural Climate cycles of Earth that leads to destruction at multiples levels..
Harmful effects of Global Heating :
- Global temperatures rose about 1.8°F (1°C) from 1901 to 2020.
- Sea level rise has accelerated from 1.7 mm/year throughout most of the twentieth century to 3.2 mm/year since 1993. This is leading to floods in coastal areas.
- Glaciers of mountains are shrinking: average thickness of 30 well-studied glaciers has decreased more than 60 feet since 1980. Melting of Glaciers in Mountain ranges leading to landslides and cloud bursts.
- The area covered by sea ice in the Arctic at the end of summer has shrunk by about 40% since 1979..
- Snow is melting earlier compared to long-term averages.
- Heat waves in cities leading to deaths of people.
- Fresh Water crisis : Many rivers like Yamuna have turned into sewage filled with plastic and sulphate pollution. Ground water is polluted with lead, nitrates, pesticides and arsenic. Their are floods in certain areas and droughts in other areas. This water crises have resulted in lack of sanitation resources and water-borne diseases, food insecurity, conflict, financial instabilities,infrastructure damage and bio-diversity loss.
- Food Crisis : Abnormal changes in climate leads to heavy losses of crops for farmers leading to farmer suicides and selling the land.. Children of many farmers are abandoning their profession and big capitalists working in World Bank are taking over the agriculture sector. The branded grocery stores and sabzi mandi is selling some varieties of hybrid fruits and vegetables grown from G.M.O seeds sold by Bill Gates, Monsanto-Bayer, Mahyco, Nuziweedu etc which causes reproduction issues and leads to birth of deformed children.

Lets join hands to protect Mother Earth from Global Heating :
Sustainable living describes a lifestyle that attempts to reduce the use of Earth’s natural resources
by an individual or society. It is referred to as “zero wastage living” or “net zero living”. Its
practitioners often attempt to reduce their ecological footprint (including their carbon footprint) by
altering their home designs and methods of transportation, energy consumption and diet. This term was coined by American citizens Helen and Scott Nearing marked the beginning of the modern day sustainable living movement. This book is based on sustainable living.
