Its official summers here. Tokyo witnessed a highest temperature ever of 40.9 degree Celsius in the month of August. This is the highest in last 74 years. 40.8 C was recorded in the year 1933.Sicne the country is not used to such heat, at least 3 people died and more than 530 people were taken to hospital apparently due to the heat, according to public broadcaster NHK.Normally in the summers the temperature use to fluctuate between 32 to 38 C, but this year Sun has been very angry on this part of the world too.The humidity is also unbearable. Things should be better from next month. In Tokyo they have started planting more trees as a counter measure to improve the situation.
In India, the highest recorded temperature till date is 50.6 C at Alwar, on the fringes of the Thar Desert and lowest of -45 C in Dras Ladhak, says source wiki.
Its really astonishing to notice that during this rainy season of India, cities which were not humid are also experienceing tremendous humidity like the one we use to have in cities like Mumbai, Chennai and Vizak etc.
The global warming is showing its true colors.
Well How can we contribute in handling this problem on personal grounds ?
We can do as follows....
1. The car you drive: the most important personal climate decision.
2. Choose clean power
3. Unplug a freezer.
4. The ligh bulbs we use.
5. Plant a tree : You can make a difference in this world by planting tree in your backyard.
So till the time our bureaucrat become aggresively involved in solving the global warming problem, we can start our own small efforts in this hot world.
