Aaryam’s young author’s team visited GEER FOUNDATON ‘s at INDRODA Ganghinagar. It is the ecology and research centre .they have many departments to study. It was planned by our didi ,With the idea to figure out the deep answers on how actually our scientists and researchers work minutely on the tiniest parts of nature. As we entered We were welcomed by Mr. Alap Pandit , waiting to show us the whole institution .
watch us interect with the senior most environment scientist, research scieintists(who work deeply in the team with scientist), A botanist, etc. they were asked many questions by Aaryam’s team on environment science and how they study it which were answered sincerely rather enthusiastically, by them.we also visited their various labs in details so that we get exact ideas when we need to describe it in our science fiction book .
It remained a very informative trip to GEER FOUNDATION. though we missed the dinosaur park, due to lack of time. We THANK the director of the Foundation for showing interest in our project. And to Mr. Alap Pandit who had been a very keen host for Us.
well! let me tell you ,we have all scientific characters featured in our book .Our main characters are researching , over some mysterious part of environment. For more details u must read the book when it is published. Till then keep yourself updating right at the blog!

Hie... Guys,
Thank you so much for "goody goody" flattering remarks. It was really a very pleasant experience for me as well. In-fact I thank you all. I will surely would like to get updated about your publication. I am actually honored by helping you guys for the noble cause to the environment.
I am always there for any kind of help.
Thank you all once again

Global Warming effects
1. Polar ice caps melting The ice caps melting is a four-pronged danger.
First, it will raise sea levels. There are 5,773,000 cubic miles of water in ice caps, glaciers, and permanent snow. According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center, if all glaciers melted today the seas would rise about 230 feet. Luckily, that’s not going to happen all in one go! But sea levels will rise.
Second, melting ice caps will throw the global ecosystem out of balance. The ice caps are fresh water, and when they melt they will desalinate the ocean, or in plain English - make it less salty. The desalinization of the gulf current will "screw up" ocean currents, which regulate temperatures. The stream shutdown or irregularity would cool the area around north-east America and Western Europe. Luckily, that will slow some of the other effects of global warming in that area!
Third, temperature rises and changing landscapes in the artic circle will endanger several species of animals. Only the most adaptable will survive.
Fourth, global warming could snowball with the ice caps gone. Ice caps are white, and reflect sunlight, much of which is relected back into space, further cooling Earth. If the ice caps melt, the only reflector is the ocean. Darker colors absorb sunlight, further warming the Earth.
Recycle our World
Here are some things you can do that will definitely make a our planet a cleaner and greener place for everyone to live in.
1. Turn off the darn lights!
You've heard your Mother say it and you've heard your father say it. Now we are telling you too. Turn off lights and other appliances when you leave a room. Don't leave the refrigerator door open. Don't run hot water with no one in the shower and turn the thermostat up or down a couple of degrees depending on the season to save power.
Electricity comes at a high Global Warming cost. If we use less juice we create fewer carbon emissions to create that power. Plus your parents will save plenty on their energy bill.
2. Save cans, bottles and paper.
It is far less expensive to make new products from old ones. Aluminum cans are a perfect example. It takes only 10% as much power to melt down old aluminum cans to make a new one as it does to mine and refine Bauxite into fresh aluminum. Some plastic bottles can be melted down to make new plastic and even the ones that can't can be ground up and used as raw materials for other products. Refined petroleum based oils in products like Jelly Bracelets and Shoes can be squeezed out and used to make… Guess what? More Shoes! Paper products are the easiest of all to recycle. Old newspapers and school paper are 100% recyclable. You can directly recycle too simply by folding up cardboard boxes until the next time you need one and reusing them.

2. Walk, Bike and Ride the bus
For short trips there is one means of transportation that never seems to grow old. This of course is walking. In fact people have been using their feet to get around for at least a million years (Homo Erectus). True our great great great great great great great great great great great ancestors didn't have to get to the Cineplex before the price increase at 4PM, but we don't have to look out for Saber Toothed Tigers.
There are over a billion bicycles in the world. That is twice as many bikes as there are cars. Obviously this machine, first invented over 150 years ago, is a great way to get around. Wear a helmet and use the buddy system. You can safely travel anywhere you want without using a drop of gasoline. Plus the exercise from cycling is a low impact high aerobic workout. You can stay fit and get to wherever you want.
Sometimes the places we want to go are just too far to walk or ride a bike. Most towns and cities have bus routes and bus passes available at great prices for kids.

3. Plant a tree, or two or three
Every 6 seconds the Earth loses an acre of rainforest. Trees play an essential role in climate. They extract ground water through their roots and evaporate that water into the atmosphere through their leaves. Without the precipitation created by trees areas of major deforestation are prone to drought. This is how rainforests become deserts.
How can the one, two or three trees you plant help? Eventually that tree will grow tall enough to provide shade. The air conditioner in your house won't have to run as much. Your little tree will also draw Carbon dioxide from the air and replace it with oxygen. One tree can consume 48 pounds of CO2 per year and create enough oxygen to support two people. Plus your little city tree reduces fossil fuel consumption enough to save 15 trees in the forest.
hi di
This is some climate news.. may it is usefull for your book...
Climate scientists have for years complained of their inability to educate the public about the dangers of global warming. The world’s most famous groundhog prognosticator has little trouble getting attention for his weather predictions. Maybe they can learn a thing or two from Punxsutawney Phil.
& this is the link 4 some news ablout climate & globalwarmng. so i hope it is usefull for ur book.
http://www.dailyclimate.org/
Hello Freny,
thanks for the link. it will be surely usefull. keep sending such stuff.
We are also trying to potray the same situation in the book in the middle chapters, and we are connecting it with all current problems our scietists are facing round the world.
GOOD THOUGHT
Thanks.

another news for u
Climate models project that the global average temperature will rise about 1°C by the middle of the century, if we continue with business as usual and emit greenhouse gases as we have been. The global average, though, does not tell us anything about what will happen to regional climates, for example rainfall in the western United States or in paradisical islands like Hawai'i.
About Some Global Warming Likely to Significantly Affect Rainfall Patterns
Scientists have mostly assumed that the surfaces of Earth's oceans will warm rather evenly in the tropics. This assumption has led to "wetter-gets-wetter" and "drier-gets-drier" regional rainfall projections. Xie's team has gathered evidence that, although ocean surface temperatures can be expected to increase mostly everywhere by the middle of the century, the increase may differ by up to 1.5°C depending upon the region.
"Compared to the mean projected rise of 1°C, such differences are fairly large and can have a pronounced impact on tropical and subtropical climate by altering atmospheric heating patterns and therefore rainfall," explains Xie. "Our results broadly indicate that regions of peak sea surface temperature will get wetter, and those relatively cool will get drier."
Two patterns stand out. First, the maximum temperature rise in the Pacific is along a broad band at the equator. Already today the equatorial Pacific sets the rhythm of a global climate oscillation as shown by the world-wide impact of El Niño. This broad band of peak temperature on the equator changes the atmospheric heating in the models. By anchoring a rainband similar to that during an El Nino, it influences climate around the world through atmospheric teleconnections.
A second ocean warming pattern with major impact on rainfall noted by Xie and his colleagues occurs in the Indian Ocean and would affect the lives of billions of people. Overlayed on Indian Ocean warming for part of the year is what scientists call the Indian Ocean Dipole that occasionally occurs today once every decade or so. Thus, the models show that warming in the western Indian Ocean is amplified, reaching 1.5°C, while the eastern Indian Ocean it is dampened to around 0.5°C.
"Should this pattern come about," Xie predicts, "it can be expected to dramatically shift rainfall over eastern Africa, India, and Southeast Asia. Droughts could then beset Indonesia and Australia, whereas regions of India and regions of Africa bordering the Arabian Sea could get more rain than today."
Patterns of sea surface temperature warming and precipitation change in 2050 as compared with 2000. Annual mean precipitation change is shown in green/gray shade and white contours in mm/month. Precipitation tends to increase over regions with ocean warming above the tropical mean (contours of warm colors in oC), and to decrease where ocean warming is below the tropical mean (contours of cool colors).
