- A way for India to try to put a protective mask on the white mask that is slowly moving from the face of the earth.

- Due to global warming, the constant melting of glaciers is also coming under our feet. Thus, like Italy, Sweden, Switzerland and China, it is like building a front line before a disaster strikes.

With the exception of glow-force warming, the greenhouse effect, air-water pollution, haphazard deforestation, desertification, glacier shrinkage, abnormal reversals in the seasons, extinction of ecosystems, etc., there is seldom good news. But a few days ago a good news came. Scientific teams from Italy and Sweden have come up with a great recipe to make glaciers that feel the heat (and sin) of global warming feel hot and cold. Let’s understand it in detail with a little background.

Hundreds of glaciers / glaciers are located in the Alshodh Mountains of the European country Italy, whose ice is constantly melting due to global warming and rising earth's average temperature. Not only is the ice sheet getting thinner and thinner, but it is also shrinking. For example, in the 19th century, the Carresar Glacier in Italy, which stretched for hundreds of square miles [100 sq km], gradually deteriorated to the point where it ceased to exist. Another example is the Mo Blanc Glacier on the Italian side of Alsten's highest peak, Mo Blanc. The snow here is melted by the intense heat of the sun as well as the heat of the atmosphere and cracks have formed in the icy sheet. According to glaciologists, it is possible that in the future, if not today, 650,000 cubic feet of ice will fall from the mouth blame and the problem of global warming is not far off.

A similar crisis is looming not only on Mo Blani, but on all the glaciers in Italy. Global warming, which raises the Earth's average temperature, and the pollution of industrial units, which are the cause of the problem, cannot be controlled, so Italian scientists have come up with a different solution. Before the summer of 2021 in Italy, he covered a glacier in the Alps with a thin, white blanket just for the sake of experimentation. After laying a number of blankets of five meters by seventy meters on the ice surface, they were intertwined with stitches.

By the time the Bhagiratha work, which lasted for thirty days, was completed, the vast expanse of glacier, which was about 150,000 square meters, was under a white cloth canopy. As a result of this cover-up, about 70 percent of the ice beneath the moon was retained in its original form as much of the surrounding ice melted and turned into water in the scorching heat of summer. The blanket saved him from the heat!

A similar experiment was successfully carried out in the European country of Sweden. Here, scientists covered a small stretch of glacier called the Helagge with cloth all summer. At the end of the summer season, on October 4, 2021, researchers visited Helagans and found that the surrounding ice had melted about 2.5 meters thick. But there was still a lot of snow in the white cover.

How do these two incidents affect the average Indian? Nothing at first sight. But if you look a little deeper, you will see that due to global warming, the melting ice water of the glaciers is also coming under our feet. Therefore, it is like building an antecedent like Italy-Sweden before the calamity comes to Ghodapur.

The glaciers in the Alpsar range are a major source of water for European countries such as Italy, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Slovenia and Liechtenstein. It is understandable that if this source shrinks rapidly, millions of people will have to play Panipat for water. Glaciers in the Himalayan range provide drinking water to a total of 1.25 billion people in countries like India, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan and China. The Indus River alone is home to 20 million people. Glaciologists at the University of Bristol in England say in their book Ice Rivers: It is possible that there will be a bloody battle for the waters of the Indus. '

The alarm bells in this statement may not be heard today. But for the foreseeable future, even if you look at what happened in the past, the matter is worrisome. In the last two decades, 1,600 Himalayan glaciers have receded by 25 centimeters a year. Glaciers like Northern Nanda Devi, Trishul, Rishi, Southern Nanda Devi, Ramani, Raunthi etc. have lost 10 per cent (7.5 sq km) of their ice permanently. The Siachen Glacier, where our glaciers are struggling to relax, has slipped 200 meters in the last 30 years.

Here is an accurate as well as heartbreaking example to understand how serious the consequences of sweating Gle Shears can be and what global warming is called. The month of the year 2012 was February. One morning a ton of snow fell from a mountain slope on top of Sonam Post, one of our 12 outposts in the lofty peaks of Siachen. Thirty-five feet thick sheet of ice was crushed under the 10 men stationed at the outpost. He was not found for two days, during which time 4 sepoys died due to lack of oxygen and hypothermia. Lance hero Hanumanthappa Kopad miraculously survived, but eventually died at the hospital.

At first glance, the avalanche was considered a natural disaster on Sonam Postadhan. In icy regions like Siachen, it is not uncommon for snow to accumulate on mountain slopes. However, the incident at Sonam Post was not a natural avalanche. Ajugati was unusual. A few months after the disaster, a team of Indian scientists as well as snow experts analyzed the incident and a shocking fact came out. He concluded that what happened in February 2016 was not the result of an avalanche, but of global warming. A 200-meter-by-200-meter giant chuck of solid ice from a glacier in Uparvas fell. A day before the incident, an inspection of Siachen's weather report revealed that the temperature was slightly higher than it should have been in February. Due to the heat of the sun, the ice of the upstream glacier melted and broke into an icy sheet and as a result a huge chukko of 200 x 500 meters fell down. It wreaked havoc on an area of ​​about 1 square kilometer. 10 of our soldiers were thrown into the snow.

Another example: On February 4, 2061, a 1.5 km long and 250 m wide piece of ice broke from the Nanda Devi Glacier. Five people were killed and 121 were missing in Ghodapur when they plunged into the Dhauliganga and Rishiganga rivers.

Future drinking water problems ranging from such natural disasters are due to સં Glacier contraction. Despite knowing such a simple thing, by burning fuel in vehicles, emitting greenhouse effect gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide, using electricity from thermal power stations, we pollute the environment in industrial units. Accidents) are more or less to blame. But we are all helpless. Economic as well as industrial development is not possible without the face of Divine Vasundhara being tainted by pollution.

The harsh reality against this fact is that the more years it takes to ruin the environment, the more years it will take to improve it. So if the cleansing of the filthy face of the earth itself does not begin to turn today, there will be no time for it tomorrow. From this point of view, the initiative taken by the researchers from Italy and Sweden is like taking a step back. Protecting Himalayan glaciers from glow ball warming with light blankets in weight as well as price is like an experiment. (Countries like Switzerland and China have already started.) Even if the cost goes up. The business is not at a loss if we have to spend billions of rupees on natural resources for so many years to protect nature (in the long run our own).

Fresh article: The United Nations Climate Change Conference is being held in Glasgow (England) next month to find ways to make the earth ugly with various pollutants. All the countries of the world are to take part in it. However, in such talks, there is more discussion on which country should or should not pollute than on efforts to save the environment. How to take turns in the scaffolding of prosperity at the expense of the environment. In this regard, Gujaratis who served a dignified, polite and somewhat philosophical humor remember a joke of veteran artist Padma Shri Shahbuddin Rathore.

One day a brother named Nato and Jato sat grinding millet in a bell. After ringing the bell three times slowly, he turned the chewing gum in such a way that Bubbe dropped the thread. There were sparks from the bell. The bell rang for half an hour, even if Bay left. It happened to Nata that the mill must have been crushed, so he asked Jata, 'Ella, if it's true ... is there anything left now?'

Jato: 'Is that Bajro Ore who knows me? You say how much is left? '

Nato: '... so you don't eat millet?'

Jato: "Take it ... I'm like you're here!"

Nato says, 'Hey, I'll tell you.'

The two men rang the bell, but neither of them rang the bell.

Something similar happens in talks called 'Save the Environment!' Nothing solid comes out of the dalai
