Recently G20 summit has happened in Osaka, Japan. Where leaders from 20 big countries took part and discussed on various issues. That they have shared in their press release. What was missing in that are the talks or actions on climate change. No big leader including recently chosen world’s biggest democratic country leader Shri Narendra Modi said a word on it.

Events like this are happening in various part of the world. The water level is rising in the sea and groundwater are decreasing. Recently released NITI Ayog report has said that after 2020 India’s 21 cities will run out of groundwater.

If we look around in our local area, Pathankot has not received rain whole June month. Farmers are waiting for it eagerly. But no signs of it till now. Yesterday (1st July ) in the evening little shower may have provided some relief and today (2nd July) again the situation has become the same.

Governments, as well as the whole of mankind, will have to think about it. The temperature may not have touched the projected temperature i.e. 2°C but it is rising and soon it will if we don’t act now
