NASA says 2005 might become the warmest year in recorded history

We all have read and heard about it. We were taught in schools about the greenhouse effects and what it can do to our planet. Movies like ‘The Day After Tomorrow’ gave us the scary picture of the possible effects in the coming years. Now scientists of NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) have actually predicted that this year 2005 just might become the warmest year in the recorded history of humankind.

They are blaming these changes in the climatic changes on the weak “El Nino” and the greenhouse effect. Other factors like the changes in the oceans temperature and pollutant emissions into the atmosphere affect temperature increases, which ultimately leads to the rise in the overall warmth of the globe around us.

NASA said that it has been noticing the trends since the last couple of years and now Earth is actually absorbing more heat from the Sun’s rays than reflecting it back. The last year was the forth-warmest year in the recorded history with 1998, and 2002 and 2003 taking the top three places. If the trends continue, we might see more global changes…

    Once again, more evidence comes in that we need to address Global warming. The consesous of most scientist is that green house gases created by the use of fosil fuels are leading down to the path of significant climate change. Yet the current admistration continues down a path with it head buried in the sand that ignores a scientific theory, which if was only half correct, would still warrant a much more agressive policy to reduce these emissions. The sad thing is. while we are running away from the problem, we are loosing out on the job creation, and technolgical opertunities that goes along with these greenhouse reductions

    To,
    Dear sir

    I am a student of M.Sc. Physics. For propagation of science and
    techonology ; I established a mobile science laboratory ‘AVISHKAR
    BALVIDNYAN
    KENDRA’.
    Every working day our team visits to various schools and shows some
    important experiments,clearing fundamental principles of Physics,
    Chemistry, Biology,Electronics,Astrophysics& about Space research.Our
    organisation arranges scientific tours at various research centres like
    ISRO
    satellite centre,NAL,HAL and various science museums.we also visits to
    various villages to teach there poor peoples and their chieldrens.

    But unfortunately Our team have no financial or technical support from
    anywhere.political leaders in india dosen’t take interest in such
    activities,so we can’t get any support from govt. of india.plz send
    some
    informal book posters cds or other educational materials.

    I HAVE MANY HOPES FROM YOU FOR GATING SUPPORT FOR SU CH WORK.
