Thrilling without any aim,
I know nothing would happen.

Stop! What I saw in the east,
Was a gleaming yellowish shine .
The despair changed to smile.

And legs quickly started in that direction.

That day I learned that chances are many,
But one who sleep seeing the night,
Will not be able to see the sun again in the east there,
And no one knows where his success would go.

Global Warming and Climate Change

The Ozone layer is a layer that covers the Earth and acts as a protective
cover from the harmful UltraViolet rays or UV rays of the sun. This layer also
helps to maintain the temperature on the planet to let life sustain on the
planet. Recently, the world has changed the balance of the Ozone layer and
the planet.

Over the last few decades, planet Earth has heated up a lot. This is called the

phenomena of global warming, which means the warming up of the Earth.
Since we now live in the age of development and capitalism, there are
factories all over the world that emit harmful fumes. These fumes are an
example of the kind of substances that create the holes in the Ozone layer.
These holes allow in harmful UV rays and heat the planet.

There are several reasons for global warming and climate change. The
primary reason for global warming and climate change is the greenhouse
effect. The greenhouse effect refers to the entrapment of heat by greenhouse
gases, such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, etc. between the Ozone layer
and the surface of the Earth, creating more and more heat as it remains
trapped. This causes the temperature on the Earth to rise increasingly.

Greenhouse gases come into the air in several ways, which are all human-
made. The fumes emitted by factories, smoke released by vehicles and
factories, and other instances of the burning of fossil fuels are causes of
global warming and climate change. Deforestation is one more reason for
the same, as cutting down trees means more carbon dioxide in the air than
there was before they were cut down.

As a result of global warming and climate change, the icecaps and glaciers
around the world are melting, thereby increasing the sea level. Many
islands have even become fully submerged due to the rising water levels.
