I was placed in one of the leading MNCs in India and I was totally excited. I was told that I would have to undergo a two month training (damn the boring part of work).

This is because the impact on the damage that appear for sustaining ecosystem and human life widely. According to the Intergovermental Panel and Climate Change (IPCC) research, an international institution of more than 100 countries that initiated the United Nations, in the year 2005 has been an increase in world temperatures around 0.6 to 0.7 degrees, while in Asia a higher, namely 10 degrees. This Glaser (Ice Mountain) melt in the Himalayas and the South Pole and the decreasing availability of water in the tropical regions as much as 20% to 30%. Melting of Glaser in the Himalayas and the South Pole itself a direct impact on improving the surface sea water as high as 4-6 meters. If this continues then left in the year 2012 the sea water will rise again about 7 meters. With the automatic life in the ecosystem and coastal and island areas will be endangered. Meanwhile, changes in...
