Global warming has caused the climatic change in the world. A lot of places of this world is in danger and amongst those places, Sundarban in both India and Bangladesh is on the top of the list. The temperature of water in the rivers and backwaters in Sundarban is getting warmer by 0.5 degree C in a decade. This tendency is seen for last 3 decades. The rate of this warming is 8 times more than the warming of the overall earth. The increase of temperature of water is endangering the eco-system of the world's biggest mangrove forest.
Year Average Temperature(degree C)
1980 31.4
1985 31.6
1990 31.5
1995 31.8
2000 32.0
2005 32.2
2007 32.5
Increased water temperature is casuing incerased dissolved O2 in water. Fishes and other animals cannot tolerate this increased oxygen content. The reproductive capacity of the animals of this region can ba hampered also. The problems would be discussed in the Copenhagen Conferance on Global Warming starting from December07, 2009. Lets see if any solutions come out!
