THE AMAZON rainforest is ablaze as thousands of acres have been decimated by the numerous wildfires sweeping Brazil. But when exactly did the fires start?
Wildfires are common in the in dry season in Brazil but they can also be started deliberately in efforts to illegally deforest land for cattle ranching. The INPE has detected more than 73,000 fires so far this year and because of the sheer number it is difficult, if not impossible to predict when exactly the current blaze started.
But Thursday, August 15, saw a sharp increase in the number of fires, with INPE recording more than 9,5000 infernos since that date.

All over thge world ,people got enraged over the incompetency of Brazilian Prez to control the wildfire.
Many renowned celebrities came forward to raise their concern over the Amazon Rainforest Fires. Actor and Environmetalist Leonaro DiCaprio gave 5 million USD for the rainforest. Amazon Rainforest is called the lungs of Earth .

Our house is burning. Literally. The Amazon rain forest - the lungs which produces 20% of our planet’s oxygen - is on fire. It is an international crisis. Members of the G7 Summit, let's discuss this emergency first order in two days!

President of France tweeted about the Amazon rainforest and proposed to discuss the matter in the G7 summit ,of which Brazil is a member. But the Brazilian President refused to take the financial aid of 143 crores offered by other member country of G7. 
Its funny how Brazilian Prez refused to accept the aid as he earlier claimed, to not have suficient funds to stop the fires. People all around the world are amazed by Brazilian Prez Mr. Jair Bolsonaro's inability in controlling the fire.
Thousands of Wildlife Animals and Flora has been lost due to these fires. Political leaders of Brazil are just concerned about the "Blame Game".But the final blow came when Jair Bolsonaro attended a stand up comic at a comedy club as fires raged across the Amazon rainforest.
He is being heavily criticized for this ,as environmentalists say that Bolsonaro himself bears credit for encouraging. 
What we can learn from Amazon Fires is that ,CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL.
We cant deny that the we humans have d(to our reckless actions ) destroyed Mother Nature.
Its time to restore the ecosystem.
What we can do is start from our own part to reduce usage of Plastics, create less wastes and stop Desforestation.

Global Climate Change

I find that global warming  is  a serious issue, alth0ugh second to the possibility of nuclear war, and that it could potentially destroy our way of life and planet as we know it. Note I did not say destroy Earth because that would be too extreme; there will likely be some organisms or even humans left to rebuild in the rubble. However, if left unchecked, it can and will trigger a disaster. Here's an analysis: if the temperature goes up another few degrees, methane pockets underneath the oceans will be able to burst. Also, large amounts of methane hidden under ice, with the ice gone, will be able to emerge. Here's the point:  methane, CH4, is an even stronger greenhouse gas than CO2, somewhere on the scale of ten times stronger.  And after that the greenhouse effect will go runaway until the methane decomposes into carbon dioxide. Many skeptics at this point would say, bah, the Earth's temperature hasn't gone up / has barely gone up / is simply undergoing natural...

Sustainable Development

-
Nobody aspires to be poor, but the problem arises when one wants to eat the cake and have it too.  Sustainable Development  is a popular term being used since the eighties to essentially emphasize the importance of pursuing economic development in a way which also takes care of inter-generational and intra-generational equity. There is a humongous amount of literature available on the subject , let us look at the basics first. One, the difference between Growth and Development. Whereas growth is generally measured in terms of increments in per capita GDP or exports or industrial production, development is a broad based concept that includes quality of life parameters such as healthcare, education and quality of ambient air and water as well. Two, the distinction between the terms sustained and sustainable. A sustained pace of growth may or may or not be sustainable. So what is sustainability all about ?  In a nutshell, it is about the economic developmental pr...
