A burning issue: Global warming And its prevention

Global warming is the greatest challenge facing in our world. It is, in fact, the increase in the temperature of the earth’s neon- surface air. Global warming is a serious problem of all the living things in all over the world .Global warming is the warming of earth's surface and earth's atmosphere traps the sun's heat than the normal. The earth is getting warmer than in the past days. The changes are small at present but later they are expected to grow and speed up slowly. Within the next fifty to one hundred years, the earth may be hotter than it has been in the past million years. Global warming will affect weather everywhere, plants and animals everywhere, people everywhere; humans are warming the earth's atmosphere by burning fuels, cutting down forest, and by taking part in other activities that release certain heat trapping gases into the air increasing the carbondioxide and carbonmonoxide.

The developed countries are growing the Global warm because they use so many things for Global warm. The result of Global warm is sharing to all countries and Nepal also shared to Global warm from developed countries. As a result the layer of snow of mountain is melting by year and the natural beauty of Nepal is destroying by Global warm. The government of Nepal cabinet meeting (Former Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal) was organized in “Kalapathar” in 2009 to aware all the developed countries about the Global warm.

(Kalapathar Meeting)

One major cause of global warming is the use of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas that was formed from the remains of plant material deposited during the earth's carboniferous period .There is a close relation between global warming and population growth. Today the large population on earth is using the technologies which are destructive for the earth. Approximately, 80 per cent of atmospheric C02 increases are due to man’s use of fossil fuels either in the form of coal, gas or oil. A large portion of carbon emission is attributed to the burning of gasoline in internal-combustion engine of vehicles. Vehicles with poor gas mileage contribute the most to global warming. Besides, the sulphur group gas is the most harmful for this. Its contribution is 30 per cent in global warming. This gas is also emitted from the burning of fossil fuels.

Unfortunately, burning fossil fuels is not the only thing that we humans are doing to increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This destructive work is called deforestation.

Effects of Global Warming Increase of temperature on the earth. Changes in temperature increase the frequency and intensity of some severe weather events, like floods, droughts and tornadoes .Lower agricultural yields and species extinctions are caused by Global Warming. Rise of sea levels. Sea levels are rising due to thermal expansion of the ocean, along with melting of land ice. The total power of cyclones has increased noticeably because their average intensity and duration have increased.

Global average temperature rose significantly during the past century. The prevailing scientific view is that most of the temperature increases since mid-20th century has been caused by increases in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations produced by human activity. Most scientists agree that planet’s temperature has risen 0.5 degree Celsius since 1900 and will continue to increase at an increasing rate. As a result, the world is getting warmer. The year 1990 was the hottest year in the last century.

If we can reduce the greenhouse gases going into the atmosphere, we probably can slow the rate of global warming and climate. There are a number of things that we can do to prepare for the changes that are coming. If we act now, perhaps we can "soften the blow" of the greenhouse effect. In the future, the weather cold change much more dramatically from year to year than it does now. As global warming alters habitats, many kinds of animals will be on the move, but all sorts of barriers will stand between them and a new place to live. To help animals get around these barriers, it might be necessary to set up migration corridors that connect natural areas with one another. Without human intervention, many kinds of plants also may not survive as the earth's climate changes. Forests, in particular, may need our help. If climate changes come rapidly, few tree species will be able to spread into new areas fast enough to keep up with changing conditions.

Prevention of Global Warming:

There may be hundreds of small things or activities of our daily life which contribute to global warming. This includes:

 Riding your bike, and buying your goods from the most local sources available.

Growing your own food instead of importing it.

 Cleaning or replacing filters on your furnace.

 Reusing your shopping bag.

 Using recycled products, etc.

Increasing the use of Solar Energy also helps in minimizing power consumptions to huge extents and thus, preventing your contribution to global warming.

In today’s industrial world where total reduction in the production of harmful gases and wastes is next to impossible, growing leafy trees in high numbers is a mandatory solution for preventing the rise in heat.

Global warming is something that we all have to take part in learning how to prevent, not only in the USA but throughout the entire world. We all play a part in contributing to global warming and the only way to help prevent the devastating affects is to work together. Each of the governments throughout the world are striving to develop a prevention plan that can help reduce the amount of emissions they are creating in the atmosphere and enhance what they are doing to contribute to the solution instead of the problem.

Five Lakh People in a Day

The world’s population has been double within 50 years cause of that lack of basic needs such as food, drinking water, shelter, transportation, communication etc. and Are they manage the same resources for coming 2 to 3 billion populations within 50 years?

According to exports the utilization of drinking water will be increase 50 percent comparatively 2007 to 2025 AD. There is a hunger threat, 92 Crore and 50 Lakh people will face the problems of food, security etc. The food should be increase by the 70 percent till the 2050 AD, according to the League of Nation, Food and Agriculture organization.

Population by Continent

Continent name                          Density (inhab./km2)                         Population (2011)
Asia                                          86.7                                                  4,140,336,501
Africa                                        32.7                                                  994,527,534
Europe                                       70                                                    738,523,843

Antarctica                                  0                                                       4,490

It is estimated that the population of the world reached one billion for the first time in 1804, two billion in 1927, three billion in 1960, four billion in 1974, five billion in 1971, and six billion in 1999 and by estimates seven billion in 1 October 2011.

The cause of growing population in the world, the urban area is also increasing rapidly. So many people are migrating from backward society of rural area to modern facilities of urban areas. So the government cannot fragmentation the agenda of resources and energy.

The League of Nation designated seven billion in 1 October 2011 eventually 5 Lakh new infants were born on that day and they same estimates will be born each day.

Although populations are also decreasing in the rich countries because they have good manage of family planning system and awareness. Nowadays 21 Crore and 50 Lakh female are far from the fertility health services.

So many challenges are in the world as like pollution, noise, crowded etc. People are struggling for their family and baby to their bright future in the developing countries They don’t have nutrient food for new baby drinking water and basic health services.

May be, the biggest family in the world at Mijoram in India named Jiyona, sixty nine years old have thirty nine wives, eighty six their children and thirty five grandchildren, even though neither he worry about the seven billion population nor his own families.

THE BIRTH PLACE OF LORD BUDDHA



The place where Gautam Buddha was borned was a historical place. In the history Shakyamuni Buddha was born in Lumbini, in southern Nepal, twenty-five hundred years ago. Since his time, Nepal has been a sacred ground for Buddhists as the birthplace of the Buddha. Lumbini is a small town in the southern Terai plains of Nepal, where the ruins of the old city can still be seen. Shakyamuni Buddha was born to a family. Lumbini has been a holy ground for Buddhists all over the world. The restored garden and surroundings of Lumbini have the remains of many of the ancient stupas and monasteries. A large stone pillar erected by the Indian Emperor Ashoka in 249 BC bears an inscription about the birth of the Buddha. An important part of Lumbini is the temple of Maya Devi. It has a stone image of Maya Devi giving birth to Lord Buddha as she holds onto a branch. It has been well worn by the strokes of barren women hoping for fertility. To the south of the temple is a pool where Queen Maya Devi is said to have bathed and given her son his first purification bath. A quiet garden, shaded by the leafy Bo tree (the type of tree under which Buddha received enlightenment), and a newly-planted forest nearby lend an air of tranquility which bespeaks Buddha's teachings. Lumbini is now being developed under the Master Plan of the Lumbini Development Trust, a non governmental organization dedicated to the restoration of Lumbini and its development as a pilgrimage site.

The plan, completed in 1978 by the renowned Japanese architect Kenzo Tange, will transform three square miles of land into a sacred place of gardens, pools, buildings, and groves. The development will include a Monastic Zone, the circular sacred Garden surrounding the Ashoka pillar and Maya Devi temple, and Lumbini Village, where visitors will find lodges, restaurants, a cultural center and tourist facilities. An important archeological site near Lumbini, Kapilvastu evokes the ancient palace where Lord Buddha spent his formative years. Scattered foundations of the palace are abundant, and archeologists have by now discovered 13 successive layers of human habitation dating back to the eighth century BC. A must for archeological and historical buffs! Besides its religious and historical significance, Lumbini offers cultural insights into the village life of southern Nepal. If possible, try to coincide your visit with the weekly Monday bazaar when villagers come from miles around to buy grains, spices, pottery, jewellery, saris and various other items.

It may appear as a scene out of the Arabian Nights, with colorful merchandise spread out under the mango trees and the air perfumed with incense. It's a chance to bargain for souvenirs while witnessing local life in Lumbini. Wooden ox-carts loaded with hay trundle by. Villagers dry cow-dung for fuel, and tea stalls serve sweet milk tea. Today, Lumbini is beginning to receive travellers' and archaeologists' attention after centuries of neglect. Serious preservation work has only just been started in the latter half of this century and Lumbini as a slice of history is worth seeing and worth preserving. Access : Nepal Airlines and other airlines fly regularly to Bhairahawa, near Lumbini, and bus services are available from Pokhara and Kathmandu. Accommodation: There are several good hotels and lodges in Lumbini.

Maya Devi temple, Ashoka pillar, Pushkarni pond ,One can see Maya Devi temple, the place where Maya Devi gave birth to the lord Buddha. An Ashoka pillar, which has inscriptions identifying the spot as the birthplace, ruins of ancient stupas and monasteries. Recent excavations have turned up a stone bearing a "foot imprint", indicating the exact place of birth. Pushkarni pond where Queen Mayadevi took bath before giving birth. The International Gautami Nuns temple is also found here which a replica of the Swayambhu stupa in Kathmandu.

Lumbini Museum

Lumbini Museum, Lumbini International Research Institute, and Kapilvastu Museum (situated 27km west of Lumbini in Tilaurakot) are other places to see in this region. The Kapilvastu museum has ruins of ancient capital of Sakya kingdom where the Buddha spet his his youth as Prince Siddhartha.

Visit Sacred Garden in morning. It is spread over 8 sq.km and possesses all the treasures of the historic area. Today as part of the global initiative to promote Lumbini, many countries have built or are building temples, monasteries or stupas near the Sacred Garden in the International Monastery Zone. Temples or shrines that have finished their construction so far are Myanmar Temple, International Gautami Nuns Temple, China Temple, The Nepal Buddha Temple and the Dharma Swami Maharaja Buddha Vihara.

Gotihawa is in the Kapilvastu district, about 31 kilometers west of Lumbini. Gotihawa is regarded a very important religious place for Buddhists all over the world. It is believed that Krakuchanda Buddha, who came before Sakyamuni Buddha, was born and attained nirvana in Gotihawa.

Kudan is in about four and a half kilometers south of Tilaurakot. It is where King Suddhodhana met Lord Buddha. Niglihawa is situated about 32 kilometers northwest of Lumbini. Emperor Ashoka visited Niglisagar during his pilgrimage, built a stupa and set up a pillar. It is believed that the Kanakmuni Buddha, who came earlier than Shakyamuni Buddha, was born, enlightened, and met his father in this place.

The Ramgram Kingdom was 60 kilometers to the east of the holy place of the Buddha's birth. The King of Ramgram Kingdom was one of the eight Kings who obtained Buddha's relics and he also built a pagoda, which is named Ramgram Pagoda. Sagarhawa is in the northwest of Niglihawa. This site has been identified by archeologists as the "Palace of massacre of the Shakyas."

Tilaurakot is about 25 kilometers west of Lumbini that extends over an area of two and half miles. Tilaurakot is the exact site of ancient Kapilvastu due to its general consonance of local bearings and geographical conditions as described in the Buddhist texts and travel accounts of Chinese pilgrims.
