Why is it a great threat to Bangladesh?
alarming reports that the world's climate is
undergoing a significant change. All these
reports provide strong evidence that world
temperature are increasing day by day. This
increase is know as global warming caused by
increased amounts of carbon dioxide around
the earth.
Most climatologists believe that the greenhouse effect is the most likely cause of
this global warming. Climatologists predict
that by midway through the next century
temperatures may have risen by as much as
4°C. This could catastrophically reduce
mankind's ability to grow food, destroy or
severely damage wildlife and wilderness, raise
sea levels and thereby flood coastal areas and
farmland. The alarming news about
Bangladesh is that as a result of the rise of
the sea level the lower southern part of the
country may one day go under water. The
main culprits for global warming are carbon
dioxide gas, produced by the burning of fossil
fuels and forests and pollutants such as
methane and chiorofluorocarbons. We can
prevent by being careful and raising public
awareness.
