Sub: Consequences of Climatic Changes Sir

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I want to express my deep concern and anxiety on the climatic changes due to various manmade reasons.

Man is responsible for all the degradation of the environment. It started with the indiscriminate felling of trees. The deforestation has led to innumerable harms to the environment and ecology. Trees provide oxygen and absorb CO₂ from the atmosphere. The clearing of forests led to droughts and dryspells. This has resulted in global warming and sudden climatic changes.

Pollution of air, water and land is making our living quite miserable. Our seas, rivers and lakes are also polluted. They have become dumping grounds for human and industrial wastes. Glaciers are melting. So are the ice volumes of the Poles.

Man’s unlimited needs and limited natural resources are further aggravating the problem. Unplanned urbanisation and industrialisation has adversely affected the landscape and climate. Let us check degradation of the environment and make this planet a pleasant place for human habitation. 

Yours faithfully 

Radha/Raghav
