Bitchy Environment

         At this time of the year when the monsoon is all set and humidity has conquered over the major parts of the globe, the viruses and bacteria are having the time of their lives while we humans are just either combating it with antibiotics or waiting for the time to pass. The cycle of the environment had always been the same summer, monsoon, autumn,winter, spring. but if you observe over the century how drastically the intensity has changed now that overwhelming! and for sure we get affected by it most of all. If we have a look in our past the seasonal changes were there but they were not harsh like it is now. if we see all the romantic movies or songs of olden times showed how the hero and heroin are dancing through it and everything is happy go lucky but now it had replaced with acid rain so even to give the old school touch directors and actors prefer artificial rain. 
        So why is the environment so rude to us now definitely there is some problem somewhere. The only way to know is observing environment itself. So when we made a check on composition of environment we came to know that it’s made of greenhouse gases in adequate proportions, by volume, dry air contains 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93%  argon, 0.039%  CO2, and small amounts of other gases and the atmosphere. The atmosphere is the jacket that surrounds Earth. It protects Earth from UV rays from sun but it has also been altered. The proportion of gases has been changed and this alteration had affected in increase in amount of greenhouse gases while decrease in levels of ozone. So as the ozone layer is thinning the UV rays have an open pass to the Earth thus increasing its temperature. 
      What’s causing it to lose its proportion? When you look into the composition of ozone it’s made of 3 atoms of oxygen O3. When there is increase in amount of CFC's, smoke from burning of fossil fuel or from vehicles, increase in levels of greenhouse gases for instance in carbon dioxide or methane the oxygen of ozone reacts with the molecule of carbon and like converting into various other products. Resulting in thin layer of our protector THE OZONE. According to a geologist in Antarctica theirs a hole in ozone. 
       That's not the end of story Mother Nature have given off many heroes. The ultimate and powerful alliance in this 'League of marvels’ are 'The Plants'. They are the strong holds that are able to combat all environmental issues. They control not only the stimulation and generation of oxygen required by us for our survival but also controls wind currents that keep hardcore air situation in control. But we humans playing the part of 'League of Wrath" we cut down all of the trees to make living space for ourselves and making meadows for our livestock, roads, dams and bridges. Now as a result, the weather that was supposed to stay in control is acting out which explains the extreme climate change we have to face these days when it gets 52 degrees in summer and flood situation by the first rain session of monsoon winter that arrives late but continues to snow in March.
      This current situation can be still corrected if only we look after our own activities as it is said that a little drop of water makes a mighty ocean, otherwise the scientist are already in search of new planet.
