This year the state is suffering from intense heat wave killing 3 persons. Such incidence were rare in the state ,if we look at its history . The climate of the place is the best in the world with lots of vegetations and secure life. Even though the other parts of the country used to suffer from intense heat and floods this state was always secure. This year the temperature is rising day by day and reached 42 degrees in certain parts which the state has never experienced. This makes an alarming indication of climate change that life forms including man are in danger. So rather than concentrating on the development of technologies I would say the governments all over the world should focus on the protection of nature and reduce population explosion, Man should also be aware that all other life form are as important as humans for the nature.

Where about you talking friend as i am knowing or in my knowledge nowhere temperature is such high as 42 degrees, it only could be in may middle or last every year not now. We humans are all the problem creators related to climate changes, first we create and then ask for the solution, who said us to use freezes, ACs, Open big factories & industries etc. that are directly effects the atmosphere and Ozone layer of earth. This is all about the result of so called development that is happening all around the world.

It touched 42 degree at places called palghat and punalur on 20th march as reports show . last year the highest temperature in these places touched the ever highest of 41 degrees. As you said these are all due the ill effects caused by human activity. Humans including you and me have greater attitude towards comfort and leisure, and hence exploit nature brutally, So it is better to keep quiet as this world will never escape . the future generations are going to be the biggest victims of the fury of mother Earth.this world has become more greedy and concentrate only on profits, and if this is continuing destruction is the only choice.

Nobody can get rid of freezers and AC, food has very limited safety window in the refrigerator. It's not about getting rid of these items but eliminating waste. For example limiting the amount of time you open / close the freezer / fridge, so unless you have an old refrigerator/freezer, modern ones are much more energy efficient and do not use Freon, I dunno if what is used now is still polluting ? probably much less. As far as AC people can do their part, do we really need to leave ACs on day and night ? People leave their ACs on to ridiculously cold settings, even when not home. There are timer kits out there compatible with high amperage units, you could set timers to x amount of minutes / hours before you get back home, as an alternative to running AC the whole day. You could also increase the temperature setting, reduce the overall consumption, etc. Though for desktop computer users, particularly high end ones in tower cases which generate tons of heat in the summer, AC is a must. We have excruciating hot summers here now, in the 40C+, in my computer room the computer already adds to the heat it is like an oven, I do not have AC in every room, whilst on humans you could stip of your shirt, splash water on you and have a fan blowing on you for coolness, you cannot do that on computers

The main pollutants are vehicles, so the big corporations are saying hey you the consumer, stop driving your car, instead, take the public transit system with the crazy people instead, they want profits and please shareholders so they shift all the responsibilities to end users.

yes Darkstar it is profit that had destroyed this world. Man will do anything illegal for profit. That word profit is the reason for all destruction . Had it been not there the world would have been elicit no doubt.
