The planet has no Plan-B for climate change Introduction Climate change is arguably the most discussed and talked about term from the fag-end of the 20th century till today. Since the initial knowledge on climate change was acquired in 1950s and since the first conference on climate change was held in 1979‚ numerous treaties and frameworks have been devised to curb and bring down emissions that cause the climate change. After several decades‚ in 2011‚ we have realised the bitter truth

Speaking about atmosphere we should mention ozone holes which are result of air pollution and their increase can lead to the destruction of the whole great chain of life of our planet. The pollution of the air‚ oceans‚ seas‚ rivers and lakes and the destruction of the ozone layer could lead our planet to a global catastrophe. But the most terrible catastrophe of our age is the Chernobyl disaster which has resulted

issue of climate change in current situation is major. With climate change over time adverse effects have been occurred like increasing melting rate of ice‚ glacier movements‚ sea level rising‚ shifting of vegetation‚ affection on coastal area‚ ozone layer depletion and decreasing rate of crop productivity etc. Since the issue of the climate change has no boundary it is global issue and is concerned with all over the world and so needs data from all over the world. So we have seen that some mechanism
