Well, I really thank you from the deepest corner of my heart for posting this article. This news is really menacing. The danger posed by global warming to our existence is certainly tangible - however, it is our callous and showy outlook that we are underpinning it. I am certainly correct to say that this issue should be placed on top of all the agendas.
I don't switch on my monitor so as to save energy. I have heard booting of machines consumes a lot of energy and, the stand by mode too consumes energy because there was a protest which was headed by Mr Monbiot against this feature. Therefore we should plan our schedules in such a manner that we can avoid bootings and standbys. These little steps can do a lot as mentioned in the article itself. Besides the wildfires of Italy and California, American hurricanes Katrina, Ivan, Wilma, floods of England and other such natural disasters, the recent flood of Bihar too was triggered by the warming of earth which claimed innumerable lives. This apparent bird flue is the creation of global warming because due to warmer winters sickly ticks and mice are getting accoutered to attack humans and animals. Poor people have lost billions because government is vanishing poultry. Do you want to become the cause of the losses of these lives and property by not resorting to simplicity and frugality? Please follow the computer tips which I have written, and if you folks have any ideas to limit the computer use then please post it on the list - I don't think it will be off topic, because it will relate to technology. However if our moderator didn't coincide with it then we should respect it. I am really ready to sacrifice everything for my earth. And you? Clean up your act first Apropos of Sitaram Yechury's article Mercury rising (January 24), it sounds ironic when he says the main reason for global warming is the pattern of capitalist industrialisation in pursuit of ever higher profits. Wasn't it the Left Front government in West Bengal that gave hundreds of acres of land to the Tatas virtually free for their car plant? If the author wants to eliminate global warming, then he should force the UPA government to look for other energy options like ethanol or solar energy. http://www.hindustantimes.com/StoryPage/StoryPage.aspx?id=e069cc59-6940-4afd-a1b0-d6044ee3476c&MatchID1=4628&TeamID1=1&TeamID2=6&MatchType1=1&SeriesID1=1165&PrimaryID=4628&Headline=Young+and+younger Shadab Husain Lucknow Lovely planet, not so lovely people!
