Ashok Art Gallery launches its most awaited Public Art Project on Global Warming As said, the major cause of global warming is the emission of green house gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide etc into the atmosphere. Gasoline Causing Global WarmingThe major source of carbon dioxide is the power plants. These power plants emit large amounts of carbon dioxide produced from burning of fossil fuels for the purpose of electricity generation. About twenty percent of carbon dioxide emitted in the atmosphere comes from burning of gasoline in the engines of the vehicles. This is true for most of the developed countries. Buildings, both commercial and residential represent a larger source of global warming pollution than cars and trucks.Building of these structures require a lot of fuel to be burnt which emits a large amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Methane is more than 20 times as effectual as CO2 at entrapping heat in the atmosphere. Methane is obtained from resources such as rice paddies, bovine flatulence, bacteria in bogs and fossil fuel manufacture. When fields are flooded, anaerobic situation build up and the organic matter in the soil decays, releasing methane to the atmosphere. The main sources of nitrous oxide include nylon and nitric acid production, cars with catalytic converters, the use of fertilizers in agriculture and the burning of organic matter. Another cause of global warming is deforestation that is caused by cutting and burning of forests for the purpose of residence and industrialization.

This Public Art project has some intresting displays like Kanta Kishore's Fibre made cow eating clothes symbolised the unatural behaviour which tends to the cause of global warming , Manas Moharana's reverse umbrella downed by a fress youthful plant which has given message as prevention of global warming causing by deforestations, while Smruti Sai Mishra's installation of tolls used for making buildings with garbage indicates the rapid urbanization which has a major role in global warming and most intrestingly Somanath Raut's a prime head placed on top of gathered chairs shows how we are running behind comfort without thinking about society. This show was innugurated by senior most oriya jurnalist Mr. Dandapani Mishra where senior artist Asim Basu and eminent writer Das Benhur were guest of honour.

India’s Position on Climate Change issue, a statment by Indian Prime Minister
July 12, 2009 - 07:23 AM
|
|
We have the moral responsibility to bequeath to our
children a world which is safe, clean and productive,
a world which should continue to inspire
the human imagination with the immensity of
the blue ocean, the loftiness of snow-covered mountains,
the green expanse of extensive forests and the
silver streams of ancient rivers.
Our people have a right to economic and social development
and to discard the ignominy of widespread poverty.
For this we need rapid economic growth. But I also believe
that ecologically sustainable development need not be in
contradiction to achieving our growth objectives.
In fact, we must have a broader perspective on
development. It must include the quality of life,
not merely the quantitative accretion of goods and services.
Our people want higher standards of living, but they
also want clean water to drink, fresh air to breathe and
a green earth to walk on.
JULY : 2009 G-8
Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh

The Major Economic Forum Declaration adopted at L’Aquila is not a declaration of Climate Change policy by India, nor is it a bilateral declaration between India and another country or a group of countries Prime Minister said in Parliament today

PM's speach on Climate Change, Indian Parliament, 29th july 2009
The Major Economic Forum Declaration adopted at L’Aquila is not a declaration of Climate Change policy by India, nor is it a bilateral declaration between India and another country or a group of countries. It is a declaration that represents a shared view among 17 developed and developing countries, the latter category including China, South Africa, Brazil, Indonesia and Mexico. Therefore, the formulations are necessarily generally worded to reflect different approaches and positions of a fairly diverse group of countries.
It has been argued in some quarters that the reference in the Declaration to a scientific view that global temperature increase should not exceed 2ºC, represents a significant shift in India’s position on Climate Change and that it may oblige us to accept emission reduction targets. This is a one-sided and misleading interpretation of the contents of the Declaration.
It is India’s view, which has been consistently voiced at all forums, that global warming is taking place and that its adverse consequences will impact most heavily on developing countries like India. The reference in a document to 2ºC increase as a possible threshold reflects a prevalent scientific opinion internationally and only reinforces what India has been saying about the dangers from global warming. True, this is the first time that India has accepted a reference to 2ºC as a possible threshold guiding global action, but this is entirely in line with our stated position on global warming.
Drawing attention to the seriousness of global warming does not automatically translate into a compulsion on the part of India or other developing countries represented in the Major Economic Forum to accept emission reduction obligations. I would like to mention that our position and the Chinese position are nearly identical, and we have been coordinating with that country. Quite to the contrary, the greater the threat from global warming, the greater the responsibility of developed countries to take on ambitious emission reduction targets. That is why, 37 developing countries including India, China, Brazil, South Africa and Indonesia, have tabled a submission at the multilateral negotiations, asking the developed countries to accept reduction targets of at least 40% by 2020 with 1990 as the baseline.
The Major Economic Forum Declaration reaffirms the principles and provisions of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, in particular, the principle of equity and of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities. As is well-known, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change imposes emission reduction targets only on developed countries. Developing countries are committed to sustainable development. The full incremental cost of any mitigation by them must be fully compensated by transfers of financial and technological resources from developed countries. This is fully reflected in the Major Economic Forum Declaration.
Furthermore, at the insistence of India, supported by other developing countries, the Declaration includes an explicit acknowledgement that in undertaking climate change action, the “first and overriding priority” of developing countries will be their pursuit of the goals of economic and social development and poverty eradication. This should allay any apprehension that India will be under pressure to undertake commitments that may undermine her economic growth prospects

New pollutants have been added to the watchlist like benzene - a by product of burning petrol
November 18, 2009 - 12:52 PM
|

The government has almost halved the acceptable limits for polluting gases like sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide. The key bits are that residential and industrial areas will have the same limits.
"After a long gap of 15 years we have notified the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. It brings the air quality standards to European levels and in many cases it even exceeds the standards in the USA. Consequences of these standards will be on clean fuel and this will have major implications on Green House gas emission as well," said Jairam Ramesh, Environment Minister.
New pollutants have been added to the watchlist like benzene - a by product of burning petrol.
And the National Environment Protection Authority (NEPA) is being given more powers to crackdown on polluters.
The new norms have come after a gap of 15 years during which pollution levels have shot up.
The announcement of the newly notified Revised National Ambient Air Quality Standards-2009 came just less than a month before the crucial UN Climate Change Summit in Copenhagen where developing countries including India are expressed to be pressed hard to fix carbon emission reduction targets.
Two thirds of Indian cities being monitored for suspended fine particulate matter exceed the maximum permissible limits.
In cities like Delhi while the switch to compressed natural gas in public buses has resulted in a fall in carbon monoxide levels, sulphur and nitrogen dioxide levels have gone up largely due to the 30 per cent jump in registration of private diesel vehicles.
New pollutants like ozone and nickel have been added to the list of pollutants for the first time, based on guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO) and in keeping with the limits followed by the European Union.
The revised guidelines have added five more hazardous chemicals in the list of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for monitoring. They are Ozone, Arsenic, Nickel, Benzene and Benzo(a)Pyrene (BaP).
But don't expect any improvement overnight because the environment ministry's new rules have to be backed by enforcement and new laws for which other departments and governments are responsible.
Nevertheless a start has been made. There will be cleaner diesel vehicle engines in all cities from next April.
The national capital not only has the highest number of cars out together compared to all other metros but is also witnessing a massive construction boom which is giving rise to fine dust particles and so for the first time, fine dust suspended particle matter will be measured as well.
"We are concerned about air quality, especially as there are so many vehicles which enter Delhi and we don't have any control," said Shiela Dikshit, Chief Minister, Delhi.
But despite lacking enough teeth right now environmentalists are happy. The new rules make it easier for citizens to demand accountability.
"Citizens can now try and demand better air quality from their governments and municipalities, they can go to court," said Sunita Narain, Director, CSE.
Enforcing will be crucial in cleaning up; the government hopes Parliament will help with new laws. (With PTI inputs)
