Natural resources present on the earth are getting depleted for some reason. This is a danger bell for the future.
If strict steps are not taken to save and save these natural resources, then in the coming few years, the results will be terrible. The melting glaciers caused by the Amazon forest fire and global warming, called the lung of the world, are increasing this concern.
These are some of the natural sources on the earth which maintain the environmental balance if for any reason these natural sources are damaged, then the result can be easily guessed.
A few months ago this year, scientists warned that the process of the rapid melting of glaciers is going on in the Himalayas. By the year 2050, 650 glaciers are estimated to have melted.
On the other hand, a few days ago, there has been an incident of fire in the forest of Amazon, which is called the lung of the world, due to the fire here, scientists and environmentalists around the world are upset.
Fire in more than 2500 places for three days,
Amazon forest has been on fire in more than 2500 places for the last three days. The entire world gets 20 percent oxygen from this forest.
The world’s largest rain forest in Brazil of South America and known as the lungs of the world is not taking the name of extinguishing the fire in this forest. The scene of destruction by fire is becoming frightening.
The area around it is badly affected due to the fire here in the northern state of Brazil, Roraima, Acre, Rondônia, and Amazonas.
Fire incidents soared this year
, figures from the Brazilian Space Agency show that there have been recorded fire incidents in the Amazon rain forest this year.
The National Institute for Space Research (InPay) has shown in its satellite data that the incidence of the fire has increased by 85 percent between 2018. According to official figures, there have been 75,000 fire incidents in the Brazilian forests in the first 8 months of this year.
This is the record after 2013. There were a total of 39,759 fire incidents in the year 2018.
Northern Brazil The worst affected
wildfire incidents have been in northern areas. Fire incidents increased by 141 percent in Roraima, 138 percent in Acre, 115 percent in Rondonia and 81 percent in Amazonas, while in the south the Moto Grosso doo Sul increased by 114 percent.
Amazonas is the largest state in Brazil, where a state of emergency has been declared.
The massive smoke
from the fire and the huge flame of smoke created by the carbon, the fire has spread throughout Amazon and is moving forward.
Smoke has spread to the Atlantic Coast. Even 2000 miles away the sky of São Paulo is filled with smoke. Not only this, carbon dioxide is being produced on a large scale by fire.
This fire is also producing carbon mono oxide gas, which is produced by burning of wood in the absence of oxygen.
Fire
incidents are common in the Brazilian forests in the dry season between July and October due to fire. There is a fire here due to natural reasons, farmers and woodcutters also fire many times. Which later takes a terrible form.
Country fire incidents
Brazil 75,000
Venezuela 26,500
Bolivia 17,200
Colombia 14,200
Peru 5,680
Guyana 890
Ecuador 290
French Guiana 11
The Amazon jungle is important:
3 million species of flora and fauna are found in this giant forest of Amazon. These forests play an important role in controlling climate change, as its forests absorb millions of tons of carbon emissions every year.
When trees are cut or burnt, the carbon stored inside them goes into the atmosphere.
Other countries also affected by the fire In
other countries of the Amazon Basin, incidents of fire have increased this year. In this, Venezuela is second after Brazil, while Bolivia is at number three with fire incidents.
Bolivia’s government has hired fire extinguishers to fire extinguishers in the eastern part of the country. The fire has so far spread over six square kilometers.
Additional relief and rescue workers have been dispatched to the area and sanctuaries are being built for the animals escaping the fire. Rescuers are trying to control the fire day and night without stopping.
What will be the loss
of oxygen due to the fire in the forest of Amazon. Similarly, melting of glaciers will lead to future water scarcity. Lack of oxygen and water will also affect the lives of millions of people.
650 glaciers are in danger
, because of global warming, 650 glaciers of Himalayas are in danger, these glaciers are constantly melting.
If the glaciers continue to melt at the same pace, most of the Himalayan glaciers will turn into water in the coming few years. Due to rising water, those living on land will face more problems than this.
Scientists conducted studies to detect climate change. Such a study has been revealed in such a study based on 40 years of satellite data.
The
study published in Ice Science Advances, which has been decreasing 1.5 feet since 2000, concluded that the Himalayan glaciers have been losing 1.5 feet of snow every year since 2000.
In this way, the Himalayan ice is melting at a much faster rate than in the last 25 years. In recent years, glaciers have melted so much snow in a year, generating about 8 billion tonnes of water.
The authors of the study described it as equivalent to water being filled in 3.2 million Olympic-sized swimming pools.
A report produced by the International Center for Integrated Mountain Development warned that the Himalayas could lose up to a third of their snow by the end of the century.
Growing a degree in 150 years, the temperature
average global temperature over the last 150 years has increased already 1 degree. Scientists predict that by the end of this century, average global temperatures will rise by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius.
Another study published in Nature in May found that the Himalayan glaciers are melting rapidly in summer as they are being re-created by snow in winter.
In the Himalayas, there are two serious threats from glaciers being destroyed. In a short time, melting glaciers make small ponds on the mountain itself, if the amount of water in them increases, it will cause more damage. Small villages etc. will end here.
The loss of glacier ice over the long term means the future water loss of Asia. If steps are not taken to stop these glaciers from melting, it will be very difficult to provide water in the long run during extreme heat and drought.
Glaciers are losing 10 inches every year. From
1975 to 2000, glaciers across the region lose 10 inches of snow every year. They started melting in 2000. Now the rate of their loss has doubled, every year about 20 inches of snow is melted.
The study also concludes. Fuel-burning contributes to the melting of ice. The major factor for the melting of these glaciers was the rise in temperature while the temperature in the vast mountain range was above average.
Glaciers are melting much faster between 2000 and 2016 than in earlier years, the result of which is visible. Scientists are concerned about the melting of Himalayan glaciers.
Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) Professor Saeed Naushad Ahmad of the Department of Geography has said that climate change is such a serious problem that it is very important to solve it.
He said that if we do not do so, by 2050, the temperature of the earth will rise so much that the glaciers will melt. The number of carbon emissions will increase by five times on Earth.
Trees and shrubs will also become a threat to
glaciers, in fact, due to the rapid change in weather patterns due to global warming, the snow line is also moving backward. This is adversely affecting biodiversity.
The slipping behind the snow line is widening the gap between the Timberline, as far as the trees used to be, and the snow line, as far as the snow remains permanently.
Flora is growing on the vacant land due to the snow line sliding back. The faster these flora, trees and shrubs grow, the faster the danger to the glaciers will increase.
Power Projects Affected
Nepal’s International Center for Integrated Mountain Development has estimated that such glaciers will melt in the next 33 years or 2050. This will increase the risk of flood and then famine in this area.
Significantly, about one-fifth of total humanity is dependent on the rivers originating from the Himalayas. The water crisis will deepen.
Artificial lakes will be formed. The temperature will rise rapidly. Power projects will be in trouble and farming will increase in danger.
In a shocking development, YouTuber Praneeth Hanumanthu has become embroiled in controversy following his detention by the Telangana Cyber Security Bureau. Initially arrested for making offensive remarks during a podcast, Hanumanthu's predicament has escalated, resulting in further allegations under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act after he tested positive for cannabis consumption. The Context of the Detention The origins of Hanumanthu's difficulties can be linked to a podcast he hosted, which included a conversation that many considered highly unseemly. During this episode, he made inappropriate comments regarding the dynamics between a father and daughter, igniting outrage among viewers and critics alike. This incident quickly garnered the attention of both the public and law enforcement, prompting an investigation by the Telangana Cyber Security Bureau. The primary allegation centered around his remarks, which were deemed to have crossed the boundaries of acceptable discourse. This scenario raises broader inquiries about accountability and the duties of content creators, particularly in an era where online platforms can amplify messages to a large audience. As a public figure, Hanumanthu's statements carry substantial weight, and the backlash he has encountered signifies society's increasing intolerance towards harmful rhetoric. Charges Related to Substances Things took a turn for the worse for Hanumanthu when, following his arrest, authorities opted to perform a drug test. The results confirmed the presence of cannabis in his system, leading to additional allegations under the NDPS Act. This legislation is a strict law in India aimed at combating substance abuse and trafficking. By testing positive for drug use, Hanumanthu not only worsened his legal troubles but also further tarnished his reputation. The addition of drug-related charges initiates an important discourse about the effects of substance use among influencers and celebrities. Many young individuals look up to figures like Hanumanthu, and such disclosures can have significant consequences on their perceptions and behaviors. The fallout from his actions extends beyond legal issues; it also encompasses the ethical obligations that accompany public visibility. Reactions from the Public and Consequences The public’s reaction to Hanumanthu's arrest has been varied. Many viewers voiced their outrage over both his initial remarks and his later substance use. Social media has been inundated with discussions, memes, and criticisms, illustrating the swift spread of information and opinions in today’s digital environment. Critics contend that individuals like Hanumanthu should be held accountable for their influence, particularly when it concerns endorsing a healthy lifestyle and responsible behavior. On the other hand, some supporters have rallied behind him, advocating for the necessity of empathy and understanding. They highlight the pressures that accompany being a public figure, especially in a hyper-connected world where every action is scrutinized. This divide in public sentiment mirrors a broader societal conversation about celebrity culture, accountability, and the intricacies of mental health and substance use. The Wider Picture of Substance Abuse Hanumanthu's situation is also part of a larger discourse regarding drug abuse in India, especially among the youth. As discussions about mental health and substance use become more widespread, incidents like this underscore the pressing need for awareness and education about addiction and its root causes. The stigma surrounding drug use often hampers open dialogue about the topic, leaving many to endure in silence. Moreover, the legal implications of the NDPS Act spark questions about how society addresses drug-related offenses. While the act aims to deter substance abuse, critics argue that such laws can disproportionately impact certain demographics and do not tackle the underlying causes of addiction. Conversations around harm reduction, rehabilitation, and public health strategies are increasingly relevant within the framework of these laws. Prospects Ahead for Hanumanthu As Hanumanthu navigates the forthcoming legal hurdles, his future remains unpredictable. He faces possible legal repercussions for both his unsatisfactory comments and his substance use, which could greatly affect his career and personal life. The scenario serves as a cautionary example for content creators about the consequences of their expressions and actions, highlighting the need for thoughtful engagement with their audience.…
