Our Answer: 2) ARTICLE NO. 1 a)Problem :Energy crisis and subsequent power cuts experienced in our city. b)Solution: “To switch off lights for an hour to save energy and reduce global warming", says the earth hour NGO activists. But our city pals say that everyday is an earth hour as there are frequent power cuts. So we are already into saving power. “Earth hour” makes a difference in those countries where there is surplus power. ARTICLE NO.2 a)The days are becoming hotter and humid as compared to last year. b)The met-department officials say that increasing population density, number of buildings and rising pollution has lead to increase humidity but not rise in temperature. ARTICLE NO.3 a) Coal reserves may not last beyond 40 years. Therefore there is strong need for promoting solar industry. b)The national action plan for climate change has to become operational and setup quantitative goals. This would be a good future plan to solve unemployment problems in the country. ARTICLE NO.4 a)India is unhappy in spite of taking policies on “Climate change” as a developing country, because we are not benefited with monetary and technical assistance. b)Unless the developed Nations come together to help the developing countries to assist towards appropriate mitigation actions,it would be a diffficult task to handle. 2.c) Articles are showing both national issues as well as the local aspects with regards to climate changes. However some newspapers have a special weekly editions on environmental issues while most of them highlight our grievances as well. d)"SOLAR INDUSTRY CAN CREATE MORE JOBS, SAYS MINISTRY".

"CLIMATE CHANGE????? THEN CHANGE YOUR LIFE STYLE!!!!!"

03. The topic of climate change arouses a number of strong emotions in people.

Our Answer: Anger:In our country ,every politician and every celebrity just give speeches on global warming and climate change and just boast that they are doing something for the environment.WAKE up everybody,BUCK up and show the power of students to everybody to make them realise that the future is ours. Responsibility:The word responsibility doesent mean that just a single citizen or a person is responsible for his own lifestyle and his surronding environment.All People think that they are responsible of their surrounding environment then the government will only think to be responsible about their surrounding environment but not to be responsible for the country, so not only a single citizen but all together should be responsible to change the world.THE IRRESPONSIBILITY IS ONLY THE CAUSE OF OF DESTRUCTION OF GLOBAL WARMING. Hope:We have nearly brought the Earth's future to an end.But its not too late,still we have a chance to save the earth.But for that everyone should feel responsible to keep up the spirits of saving our earth.On this earth we are responsible for everything either good or bad. Indifference:When there is climate change,people feel irritated and therefore blame on each other.If everyone in this world follow us,we would request them not to waste paper,electricity,water and fuel,but use recycled paper and conserve electricity,water and fuel.
