Trees so huge, stand high in valor and pride, Rivers so swift, twisting like a coaster ride, Mountains so grand, a golden crown on head and lush greens on the side, And here I am as I lay among the concrete blocks, Wondering about the wonders out there, Wandering among the thoughts which wander among the breeze of nature.

Back then a few million years ago, someone from up there looked up to our beautiful planet and quoted,” This globe will have hampers of prosperity ad beauty all around it in each corner, life will bloom in all its forms”. Alas! Who knew that one of these beautiful and marvellous life forms will be up to destroying all of the wonders breathing on it.

Global warming can be described as a phenomenon caused by the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect takes place when radiations caused by industries and other hazardous devices stay just above the surface of the earth causing a heating effect all around the surface. This is caused due to villains like CFC’s, co2, co, etc.

In all this life weakening heat, all we can think is get a cold brew and relax and cuddle in the air conditioners. These same devices which cool you inside, heat the outside world by emitting the CFCs.

Doesn’t the “ beat the heat” expression sound ironic to a whole different level?

Global warming has been an issue for over a decade now. Although awareness is growing rapidly regarding its prevention, unfortunately, the rate of deterioration of life forms and other natural resources beats everything.

It is often observed in studies about environment awareness to date that the two main causes of pollution and global warming are unawareness or irresponsible nature of people towards mother nature while the second top the list which is called, Population.

It was a research a couple of years ago, that earth now is populated up to 5% of the capacity it can hold. Sounds very relieving, isn’t it?. Thank god there is still space for 95% other humans to live. What is terrifying is the backstory of this research that when the earth is containing its full capacity of humans, the picture will exactly look like a box of sardines, closely and tightly packed together. Now, how undescribably disastrous would be that.

The population has been increased up to almost 45% in the last century itself. What statistics are more surprising is that the pollution rate in common elements on earth like air, soil, water, etc have raised to 75% in the last century. These figures strike the thought in everybody’s minds that if this is the rate of increase of sabotage of earth, what will the future look like.

How does the population affect global warming?

Imagine there is a poor family, and it has one apple for dinner and the children have to share. Let us consider there is only one child, he gets the whole of the apple. Fair enough! If the scene twists a bit and adds one more member. So if there are two children, the apple is directly divided to half which means the previous amount is cut down to a direct 50%. If there are three, then one third and if four then one fourth. And if more, the figure will go on decreasing rapidly. This concept till now explains that there will be a divide of resources as the numbers increase so the share also gets lesser. So each one is unsatisfied. So that means the more the users the lesser the resources in each one’s favor.

What happens when this cube is shifted and viewed from yet another angle? Let us drop by to the thought of” What happens when any creature is unsatisfied?” He tries to fulfill them in limited resources and when this process of fulfilling starts, there is a chance of chaos being created. If one kid among all of them becomes hungrier he tries to grab another child’s piece and hence the jumble starts. This same situation happens in real life. As the population increases, people try to fulfill their needs and wants as much as they can. Hence some get more, some grab less, and some stay in scarcity for a lifetime. This greed creates unawareness and nature has to suffer.

There always has been a population issue in China. Currently, China has the highest population in the world, then china came up with a single child policy to reduce the rate of population growth. Each couple was allowed to have only one child in that country and now it has come down to 12%. Natural Increase Rate is +4.1% whereas India having 19% in birth rate and the Natural increase rate is +11% as per the Natural Increase Rate Index 2015-2020.

Alongside with population, the unawareness comes into the portrait when explaining the current situation of India. The topic of unawareness about population control is a sided role of the story but it is there among the realms. India is currently ranking as the most highly populated nation in the world. Out of all the nations on this planet, India itself contains 17.7% of the population. Which means 460 people per square kilometer. This makes the situation a bit tense. What is worse is almost 60% of the population is rural and most of them are unaware of the environmental crisis, it is causing. There is no proper disposal of wastage. Wastage dispense is in common grounds and open rivers. This not only threatens the other life forms but also increases the temperature of the earth’s surface.

A genius biologist, named Charles Darwin discovered and stated the survival theory which proves that only the strongest will survive on this planet. The creatures who can withstand the calamities will be survivors on earth and the weak will seem to go extinct. Although this theory is true and has been one of the most important discoveries in the history of mankind, now it is time that man himself doesn’t apply this theory anywhere and everywhere. We have a god gift of genius brains yet we have messed it up to the damage that is near to incurable. But like they say,” There is nothing impossible in this world.” For us, humans it sure isn’t, considering all the marvels we have created, saving one shouldn’t be that much of a difficult task.
