                                     Michael Shafer

Define global warming based on what you have learnt from the text? 

What are green gases? Explain the significance behind their name? 

Michael Shafer is an author,consultant and a teacher. He is a founder and director of Warm Heart, a community development organization set up in Chiang Mai,Thailand.Michael is working with Warm Heart to combat the problem of crop burning that takes place in Thailand each year.

Michael goes into great detail about the effects of global warming and climate change in this essay. It speaks of major, long-term shifts in the climate that occur worldwide as a result of rising earth's temperatures. The increase in the average temperature is known as global warming. The earth's greenhouse, the atmosphere, retains heat instead of transmitting it back into space. Greenhouse gases are the cause of global warming.

Rising sea levels, melting glaciers, intense rainstorms and stronger storms, heat waves and droughts, altered ecosystems, consequences on agricultural output, and a rise in pests and disease are all consequences of climate change and global warming together.

More than 95% of scientists agree that rising greenhouse gas (GHG) and other human-caused emission concentrations are the primary cause of almost all global warming.

Gaining greenhouse gas accumulations in the earth's atmosphere.The gases that absorb and release heat radiation in the atmosphere include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone, along with water vapour. Changes in the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases alter the retention or release of solar heat. According to Michael's argument, greenhouse gases are the cause of global warming. Greenhouse gases alone are to blame for even climate change.

The interconnected system of the sun, earth, and oceans; of the wind, rain, and snow; of forests and deserts; and of human activity is the global climate. Climate change is impacting the lives of millions of people, properties, farms, and ecosystems.

Therefore, researchers are currently studying the causes and effects of climate change and global warming on Earth's surface.

The Void poem by Gajanan- Analysis

The Void                            Gajanan Satavahana /OU/KU M.A. English Sem.1 (Paper-V.Modern Indian Literatures in Translation) The void inside us has jaws , those jaws have carnivorous teeth; those teeth will chew you up, those teeth will chew up everyone else. The dearth inside is our nature, habitually angry, in the dark hollow inside the jaws there is a pond of blood. This void is utterly black, is barbaric, is naked, disowned, debased, completely self absorbed. I scatter it, give it away, with fiery words and deeds. Those who cross my path find this void in the wounds I inflict on them. They let it grow, spread it around, scatter it and give it away to others, raising the children of emptiness. The void is very durable, it is fertile. Everywhere it breeds saws, daggers, sickles, breeds carnivorous teeth. That is why, wherever you look, there is dancing, jubilation, death is now giving birth to brand new children. Everywhere th
