Global warming is the new threat in front of which all the government of the world are standing stunned.The thoughtless activities of our own hands had invited this giant.India also not free from the threat of Global Warming.Here is a report.



A few years back a British team conducted an expedition to Gokhala Green lake of Sikkim .Sikkim is a state in North India.The team released a stunning news to world - They found that the snowy hills of Northern Sikkim is melting for years.The reason being Global Warming.

The team conducted expeditions in the hills Tsemu,Thonksong and Taloong of the same state.They discovered that all these hillls are being getting morphed forthe last 80 years.They took the photo of Taloong hill at present and compared with the file photoes of an expedition that conducted in 1930 . It was found that within 80 years the hill had shortened about 70 meters !!!It means nearly one meter shortening per year.

Thonksong and Taloong hills were once connected by a snowy layer.This connection has been lost now due to Global Warming .The file photoes of these hills when examined , revealed that once all of them were connected and were a single large hill.The present condition strongly points to the future threats due to Global Warming. Thoughtless Industrialisation and Tourism development activities also had added momentum to this global problem.

India's Science and Technology Department has been observing the phenomenon for a long.They use remot sensing methods with the help of satellites.Sikkim Government also had taken a creative step.They constituted a commission to study the problem. Prof: Syed Iqbal Hasnain is the chief of the commission.

Sikkim is abundant with snowy hills.Over 75 snowy hills are there in Sikkim.Also many rivers are there in Sikkim.The melting of hills had caused to low down the water level of Teesta river and Ramgith river.
