Nature is forgiving.It knows how to heal itself.  The lack of human activities is the reason behind it.   In this way, nature is teaching us that it is Inevitable. The lockdown due to covid 19 pandemic. It is giving us time to rethink & introspect within ourselves what we were doing  to our Planet. This is an exotic moment without rush, without engines; we are all together (not physically though) in a sudden strangeness. Fishermen in the cold sea would not harm whales & fishes.

The rain is pouring down more frequently to cleanse the Earth.  The sky is more blue now.  This is the crucial...

Climate Change is Curse

   The mechanics of the earth’s climate system are simple. When energy from the sun is reflected off the earth and back into space, or when the earth’s atmosphere releases energy, the planet cools. When the earth absorbs the sun’s energy, or when atmospheric gases prevent heat released by the earth from radiating into space, the planet warms. A variety of factors, both natural and human, can influence the earth’s climate system. The effects of climate change heighten competition for resources such as land, food, and water, fueling socioeconomic tensions and, increasingly often, leading to mass displacement. Climate is a risk multiplier that makes worse already existing challenges.  Adélie penguins are certainly one of the most prominent penguins of Antarctica and their life is in danger due to climate change.  The penguins stay in colonies, some of which are in hassle.A substantial colony of adélie penguins—around 40,000 of them—lives in eastern Antarctica.
