Due to Global Warming the temperature of earth is rising unwantedly as a result snows in high Himalayas like Mount Everest and many others mountains in world are melting rapidly which is targeting sea levels which has increased.Due to it many islands like Maldives and other countries are getting in trouble and trouble mean they can be swallowed in sea.As the inspection of Nepal Mount Everest Height has decreased by some inches.
The earth's surface warms up due to the greenhouse effect caused by the buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere caused by fossil-fuel burning.The result is most visible in Arctic Circle:the north polar icecap is melting as in Greenland.But the Himalayan mountains are melting even faster,and the mountains are melting like ice-creams cones.Due to the environmental degradation many environmental problems are been faced by people of the world.The Himalaya is warming so fast that glaciers have retreated up to 700m every decade in the past century.The permanent ice above the snow line is also melting,causing huge lakes to form where there used to be glacial ice only 40 years ago.These lakes are in danger of bursting through their moraine dams,and have in fact burst.When Dig Tso near Namche bazar burst in 1984,it washed away a newly-build hydro power plant and sent a wall of water,mud and rocks roaring down the dudh kodi.Another glacial lake burst in Tibet in 1982, washing away 22 km of the kodari highway.
A global effort is necessary to combat this widespread problem.Steps have been taken in the past, under the Kyoto protocol.But global negotiations at the Copenhagen summit last year were stuck because the rich countries wanted big polluters like China and India also included in emission cutbacks.But there is public pressure building up in Europe,America,Japan to switch to electric vehicles and renewable energy like wind and solar power.All this will mean that there may be some hope that the meltdown of the Himalaya could one day be slowed down.If the chemical and geographical jargons bore you,here is a simple way in which you can curtail GHG emission
