Recently in Dhaka, Dutch ambassador Bea Ten Tusscher suggested that Bangladesh, decidedly to be worst-hit by global-warming-induced sea level rise, could outpace this disaster by trapping the silt three great rivers carry through it to the sea. It is a fascinating idea from the ambassador of a nation actively associated with the development of Bangladesh

New data from Greenland shows that the UN's dire warnings on global warming may be vastly understated-------

M R Vishnu Prasad, 27, P Neena, 23, and C Shanuga, 22, stand on M G Road in Kochi on a Tuesday morning wearing green jackets with the word, "Greenpeace' written in white. They have booklets and green-coloured petitions which contain an appeal to coastal MPs to raise the point of global warming in an upcoming session of Parliament. "If present warming trends continue, there is a strong possibility that Kochi will be partially inundated in 2050,' says Vishnu.

We do not think about the ill effects of detrimental toxic CO2 and CFC gas because we are not concerned about our environment. Actually, we are destroying our environment in many ways like producing CO2 and CFC gas from vehicles, air coolers, and not following the perfect waste management procedures. Apart from these, we are cutting down trees.

Melting polar ice caps could cause sea levels to rise by up to 25 metres, causing Bangladesh to disappear entirely under water by the turn of the century, according to predictions of climate change by the US government's NASA space agency. One of the UK's prominent newspapers, the Independent, reported on Friday that the globally accepted models predicting gradual climate change could be underestimated according to Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

Jason 2 satellite will record role of oceans in climate change Jason 2, a French-U.S. satellite that will provide the most accurate monitoring ever of rising sea levels and track the effects of climate change, was launched into orbit from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, on Friday. The liquid-oxygen-fuelled rocket sent an explosive arc of light into the night sky, some 256 km northwest of Los Angeles, as it launched the satellite on a three-year journey to track virtually the entire oceanic surface of Earth and extend the record of sea-level study from space to two decades.

A French-US satellite, which will provide the most accurate monitoring ever of rising sea levels and track the effects of climate change, was launched into orbit on Friday from a California base. A rocket carrying the Jason 2 satellite took off from Vandenberg Air Force base. Jason 2 is a 510kg oceanography space lab designed to provide precise monitoring of rising sea levels and currents, which are among the most serious consequences of global warming.
