Wake Up Before It Is too Late.

By 2050 the urban population would cross the 60% mark making things more complex. Urbanization means power,steel,cement,plastic,drainage,transport and carbon emissions.

Still in India we do use  bullocks,horses,donkeys, camels and buffaloes to carry out farming work and pull carriages and carts. They are used to draw water too. But making everyone a resident of a concrete jungle causes undue strain on environment.  The concept of white collar jobs and market driven economy make people migrate towards cities. For instance cities like Mumbai has got 20 million people- an equivalent of a continental population like Australia.

The awareness on global warming is picking up. But the remedies are not coming up fast.  Progressive nations like Norway, Sweden and Denmark and Germany do lead us by examples.
But the developing nations like the BRICS (Brazil, India,China and South Africa) should do more and not argue for scoring points.

The question is not who polluted more and who has got a right to pollute more but how not to pollute?

In this context the populations of  China,Bangladesh,Pakistan, Indonesia and India are worrisome. The world has to do something immediately and advise these nations about controlling the exploding populations.  Lest a day would come when the whole world would be filled by people of these nations alone and big scarcity in every city for every thing. The recent news where Maldives has to import water from her friends is a case in point. For instance we read that Chinese and Indian students make  a beeline to go to the U.S. in droves. But how long and how many more?

The contention of this piece is that we have to reduce our consumption whether it is power or food or water or land. Because just around 2% of the earth's surface is livable and the same % of water is potable. 

THE ANSWER TO GLOBAL WARMING IS SIMPLE. REDUCE THE RATE OF POPULATION GROWTH. 

HOPE SOMEONE WILL REALIZE AND TAKE POSITIVE STEPS.

The ten countries with the largest population in the world are China, India, United States, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Russia and Japan.
