Trail of death and destruction

Global Warming rears its ugly head in Australia, leaving a trail of death and destruction!

commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) stating that the estimated 65% of fire-danger in the year 2020 may go up to 300% by 2050 under cruel warming scenarios. Studies prove that average temperatures have already risen by 0.9 degrees Celsius since 1950, with 2005 as the hottest year on record. Also, rainfall is predicted to lessen even further by up to 30 percent if greenhouse gas emissions are high. Dr. R. K. Pachauri, Chairman of IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) informs, “The earth has started to give signals of imminent effects of global warming. It’s now that we take precautions and act on decreasing the amount of carbon emissions. Otherwise, the world will keep experiencing natural disasters.”

As the death toll is disputed upon discovery of fused corpses by forensic scientists, relief measures like sporadic tent settlements are being set up in Whittlesea by the relief agencies as temporary shelter for the dispossessed victims. Expressing his concern for the disaster, an Australian Green Party leader, Bob Brown, said, “The fires are a sobering reminder of the need for this nation and the whole world to act and put at a priority the need to tackle climate change.” (As told to Sky News). This upheaval is just a trailer for the entire race to reckon with the fury of Mother Nature; that it’s enough of playing possum towards the universal concern of Global Warming.
