The fact that river Kosi has changed its course and wreaking havok in Bihar is a great instance of the recent daibolic changes taking place in our environmental cycle. Thanks to the deeds of mankind for a (would be transcient) survival. It is estimated that around 20 lakh people could get swept away by the water. A recent research says that the average temperature of India would increase by 4 degrees by 2050 as a result of global warming. This would melt the Himalayas and most of the country would be under water. How many such examples would mankind like to set before it realises that it is fighting a lost battle against nature? Burning one's own bridges never helps.

That is not so good for the Indians. Well done Debarati for your repeated efforts to highlight the negatives of mankind. All of us should try and do to reduce the effects of Global Warming. A rise of 4 degree by 2050 will see more than half the country in water.
