The #GreenhouseEffect which induces #ClimateChange is evident by means of increases in global average temperature, rising global sea levels, long-term sustained widespread reduction of snow & ice cover, and changes in atmospheric & ocean circulation & regional weather patterns
The stakes are at an all-time high for the 26th Conference of Parties (COP26) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change(UNFCCC) as the fate of the sheer existence of our planet is dependent on its outcome. COP26 was originally scheduled to be held during November 2020, but, like several other international conferences, it was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
#Greenhouse gases (GHG) like Carbon dioxide, Methane, Nitrous oxide etc. are mainly responsible for warming the planet as it absorbs the heat radiated from the sun and traps it in the atmosphere. Increasing concentrations of GHG in the atmosphere exacerbates #ClimateChange.
Everyone talks about #ClimateChange. But do we really know what it means? Please follow this space to know about its basics. Making climate change a dining room conversation is vital to voice our opinion and bring the change we want to see. #ActOnClimate

It is not the most enviable of tasks - to announce to anyone that the future is not what it used to be. More so if the audiences for our apocalyptic messages are gleamy-eyed youngsters, with supposedly a heady mix of hope, irreverence and apathy (they can ill-afford, if you ask us). And what reason do we have to snuff out the rosy future they’ve imagined for the world? The ‘ambiguous’, ‘invisible’ and ‘deniable’ omnibus of reasons called climate crisis/emergency.
