On May 10, it was reported in The New York Times that the level of the most important heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere, carbon dioxide, has passed a long-feared milestone, scientists reported Friday, reaching a concentration not seen on the earth for millions of years. A report by Justin Gillis in the The New York Times further say that the  best available evidence suggests the amount of the gas in the air has not been this high for at least three million years, before humans evolved, and scientists believe the rise portends large changes in the climate and the level of the sea.

I feel record rise in gas clear indication that anything can happen if we do not care about the nature. I also feel  nothing is for granted in this world. This is high time ...Now we have to take care of every natural resource to save earth. We can not take anything for granted. The natural resources are dying. The development is important but with care. The cutting of trees is continue in an uncontrolled manner all around the world, the wastage of water and the uncontrolled release of pollutants into the rivers has become the biggest cause of concern. The industries are growing rapidly but how many bothered about pollution. The increase number of  vehicles all around the world has been contributing in the rise in the temperature and air pollution. The Ozone layer is depleting because of the all kind of pollution caused by the industries and others.

As for my little experience of visit to different places to feel rivers, wetlands, lakes, mountains, is concerned it has led me to realise that there is much need to be done. The glaciers are melting. The unscientific mining of sand and stone has caused much damage to many rivers and seasonal rivulets in India include Yamuna and Ganga. In addition to it, mining of other minerals has also destroyed forests and mountains. There has to be strict rules and regulation to save environment.

  We all have to woke up…and take the record rise in carbon dioxide as warning sign for all of us. We have to save forest, tress, save water, save rivers, save lakes, save ponds, wetlands. We have to save the single drop of water…even a leaf..Now we are facing situation where the many species of animals and plants have become extinct. The population of the birds and wild animals has been declining significantly. Now all the countries have to think seriously to say no to nuclear and chemical weapons. The development is a part of life and we have to continue development work…but we have to decide at what cost. The construction of power plants or any development project has to be done with at out most care. Human existence is possible if we have environment or more appropriately Earth......we all have to say no to things which are destroying earth.......
