In case you missed it. Temperatures have reached +38°C within the Arctic Circle this Saturday, 30°C hotter than normal. Which will have immense effect on global circulation. #GlobalWarming is here.

GC @ScottDuncanWX @UNFCCC
Arctic circle can be considered as a barometer for the planet, as it is coldest part. And now it has recorded highest temp ever. Whether it is Asia or Europe, other regions are also recording temp anomalies. Some regions showing what 2100 will look like. berkeleyearth.org
May 2020 is already estimated to be the warmest May since 1850, when recording started. Arctic gets warmer rapidly than other places due to 'Arctic amplification', due to its feedback loop. Here Global May temp anomalies. Graph sourced from berkeleyearth.org
Sorry for a mistake. It is 17 °C warmer than normal. Not 30 °C. The @UNFCCC page made a small mistake.

"Some parts of Siberia are 20-25 °C warmer than normal".

Lets make eco-friendly products fashion again. Bamboo bottles. Thanks to Dhritiman Borah from Assam who took it as a business model. Also they provide livelihood to numerous local community members. India has immense potential in it, especially north east.
Bamboo is a forest product & India grows many species of it. The whole chain provides livelihood to people. From plantation, if taken up, to harvesting, selling & making product like these. Here one of our SHG. They harvest from forest & sell in market. All women SHG.
No only bamboo many simple products from forest provide livelihood to a lot of people. For example these ‘mala’ you must have seen in local fairs. They are made up of wood apple. Collected & made into products. Pics taken by me.

Not a rocket science. Plain and simple. Source unknown.
Do not encroach natural way of #rivers. Go for river flood zoning. Here land use planning is done according to the potential of a river for flooding. Prohibited zone and Regulated zone are demarcated. Infra development is done according to risk assessment floods can cause.
- In prohibited zone no infra is created.
- in regulated zone infra like playground, parks etc can be created, which needs less intervention. Can be vacated immediately.
- no habitation in flood zones.

We are facing one more #cyclone today. So let me remind you. #Mangroves;

- acts as buffer & reduce impact of cyclones & #storm surge.
- they break the #wind force
- provide #habitat to #animals during cyclone or otherwise
- they reduce #pollution.

We just need to protect them.
So how it works. Mangroves create a maze & dense habitat. With species which are salt tolerant & special adaptations. They act like buffer & consume the winds & energy. So after passing the storms get dampen. You must have read in ‘Theory of Vibration’.
They are prop roots. In #mangrove #ecosystem they are adventitious support roots. They Grow down from lateral branches, in a way support trees, with doing other root functions. Additionally roots buffer against damage to coasts & enhance biodiversity & carbon sequestration.
