    GLOBAL WARMING IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS THAT WE ARE FACING IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW. ITS IMPACT IS SO HUGE THAT IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE IN ALMOST EVERYTHING. LET IT BE THE HUMANS, THE ANIMALS, THE WEATHER, THE CLIMATE EVERYTHING.

    SO WHAT DOES THIS PHRASE CALLED GLOBAL WARMING MEAN???
    WELL IT MEANS THE INCREASE IN THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE OF THE EARTH NEAR SURFACE SINCE THE MID 20TH CENTURY AND THE CONTINUATION. THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS ACCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA.

    WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS FOR US DUE TO GLOBAL WARMING?????
    WELL THE EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING IS WHAT YOU ARE NOW EXPERIENCING. THE HIGH TEMPERATURE AND THE INCREASING OF THE SEA LEVEL DUE TO THE MELTING OF ICE AND MANY MORE WHICH ARE YET TO HAPPEN.

    WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING??
    THAT WOULD BE THE STUPIDEST QUESTION A PERSON WOULD EVER ASK I WOULD SAY. COMMON MAN. ITS SOMETHING THATS GOING TO EFFECT US AND THE FUTURE GENERATION. ITS NOT A PROBLEM FOR THE OLDER GENERATION BECAUSE THEY WONT BE EXPERIENCING MUCH OF THE EFFECTS. ITS US, THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE GENERATION THAT IS GOING TO BE EFFECTED DUE TO THIS. THERE ARE RISKS THAT EVEN WHOLE COUNTRIES WOULD DISAPPEAR UNDER THE WATER DUE TO THIS WHICH MEANS A WHOLE COMMUNITY IS DESTROYED DUE TO OUR NEGLIGENCE. IF IT CONTINUES EVEN OUR OWN COUNTRY SRI LANKA WOULD FACE THE SAME FATE!!.

    SO HOW CAN WE PREVENT/REDUCE GLOBAL WARMING??
    WELL PREVENTING GLOBAL WARMING IS A DIFFICULT THING AS LONG AS I KNOW BUT REDUCE GLOBAL WARMING IS A POSSIBLE MATTER. THERE ARE MANY WAYS IN WHICH GLOBAL WARMING COULD BE REDUCED. THERE ARE MANY EVENTS THAT ARE ORGANIZED GLOBALLY TO PREVENT OR REDUCE GLOBAL WARMING. BUT SRI LANKA AS A WHOLE COUNTRY DOESN'T PARTICIPATE MUCH IN THESE EVENTS DUE TO THE ATTITUDE OF THE PEOPLE. MANY THINK THAT WHY SHOULD I DO IT WHEN HE IS NOT DOING IT?? THIS ATTITUDE SHOULD CHANGE. PEOPLE SHOULD START THINKING LIKE OK IF HE DOESN'T DO IT THEN ILL DO IT FIRST AND THEN MAKE THE OTHER WHO WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN IT TO PARTICIPATE IN IT THEN HE WILL DO IT THE NEXT TIME AS IT WILL BE A SHAME FOR HIM IF HE DOESN'T DO IT. AS THE OLD SAYING GOES AN OCEAN IS MADE UP OF SMALL DROPLETS OF WATER. SIMILARLY IN THIS WORLD HAVING A POPULATION OF 6 BILLION EVERY ONE OF US IS LIKE A DROPLET. FOR EXAMPLE LET SAY THAT WE CAN SAVE AROUND 10000WATTS IF WE SWITCH OFF THE STUFF THAT IS CONSUMING ELECTRICITY UNNECESSARILY, IMAGINE HOW MUCH COULD BE SAVE IF AT LEAST 1/6 OF THE TOTAL WORLD POPULATION COULD DO THE SAME!

    SO AS THE BIGGEST COMMUNITY OF SRI LANKA WITH MEMBERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, LET US TAKE THE STEP FORWARD IN HELPING PREVENT GLOBAL WARMING. 90000 MEMBERS HERE AND EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE OR TWO FRIENDS. JUST PASS THE MESSAGE ON AND THEN THE CREDIT ALL GOES TO OUR VERY OWN COMMUNITY. WHO KNOWS WEATHER THE STEP WE TAKE WILL BE A HUGE MOTIVATOR AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE JOINING IN TO SUPPORT THIS WORTHY CAUSE. WE COULD MAKE A HUGE IMPACT ON THE ISSUE OF GLOBAL WARMING IF WE PASS ON THE MESSAGE CORRECTLY.

    SO WHAT DO YOU ALL SAY?? SHALL WE START!! THE EASIEST WAY TO START IS BY SWITCHING OFF UNNECESSARY LIGHTS AND STUFF IN YOU HOUSE OR WORKPLACE. IT WOULDN'T COST EVEN A CENT TO IT RIGHT??

    AND ALSO IF YOU HEAR ABOUT ANY EVENTS THAT ARE ORGANIZED LOCALLY OR GLOBALLY POST ABOUT IT IN HERE AND WE ALL CAN PARTICIPATE IN IT.

    AND FOR A START I FOUND THESE TWO VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING AND AN EVENT AGAINST GLOBAL WARMING THAT WAS CONCLUDED RECENTLY. CHECK IT OUT. GET MOTIVATED. HELP IN. ITS OUR WORLD. NOT ANYONE ELSE'S RIGHT??? IF WE DON'T PROTECT IT THE WHO WILL??


    LETS ALL GET TOGETHER AND SAY OUT LOUD THAT
    "YES WE CAN DO IT!!"





    P.S.- IT IS OBVIOUS THAT EVERY GOOD DEED HAS SOME PEOPLE GOING AGAINST IT TOO. SO WHO EVER IS AGAINST THIS IS REQUESTED TO PLEASE MAINTAIN THEIR SILENCE!

    Does it matter!
    I'm with you on this machan

    But its kinda pointless attempt trying to convince the majority of people about these matters....

    I don't think many are that dumb to be unaware what global warming is or the effects of it are but due to their sheer carelessness they place no close attention to it.

    Many would give less or practically no attention 'coz these aren't the matters that they think important in their lives to be concerned about.

    What most are concerned about are making money, enjoying life, ways to have relationships and get married and have kids....

    Thats pracitcally the way of life for most...

    So where's room in there for something like global warming??

    True machan its our future but only a few people like us cares about these things....thats the irony of it....

    Even for the recent Earth Hour 2008 I don't think many knew about it or worse, knew and didn't care about it....

    So thats the type of world we live in macho......so have to accept the reality side of things whether we like it or not.....
