The planet's temperature is rising. The trend is clear and unmistakable. Globally, the average surface temperature has increased more than one degree Fahrenheit since the late 1800s. Most of that increase has occurred over just the past three decades. We are the cause. We are overloading our atmosphere with carbon dioxide, which traps heat and steadily drives up the planet’s temperature. All these carbons come from the fossil fuels —coal, natural gas, and oil—plus the loss of tree. China is the highest contributor (27%) for carbon emission followed by USA(17%),Russia(5%) and India(5%). Kyoto Protocol, ia an international treaty, held at Kyoto city Japan in December,1997 which aimed to reduce the emission of gases that contribute to global warning. Inforce since 2005, the protocol called for reducing the emission of six greenhouse gases in 41 countries plus the European Union during the “commitment period” 2008-12. It was widely hailed as the most significant environment treaty ever negotiated.

A Need to Face the Truth 7. Historians Versus History 8. November 9 Will Change History 9. From Shilanyas to Berlin Wall 10. Rama-Janmabhumi Temple Muslim Testimony 11. Let the Mute Witnesses Speak 12. Appendix Preface The movement for the restoration of the Ramajanmabhumi Temple at Ayodhya has brought to the fore a suppressed chapter of India's history, namely, the large-scale destruction of Hindu temples1 by the Islamised invaders. This chapter is by no means closed. The Appendix to this book provides details of many temples destroyed by Muslims all over Bangladesh as recently as October-November 1989. Currently, temples, or whatever had remained of them, are meeting a similar fate in the Kashmir valley. This chapter, however, though significant, was only a part of the Muslim behaviour-pattern as recorded by Muslim historians of medieval India. The other parts were: 1) mass slaughter of people not only during war but also after the armies of Islam had emerged victorious; 2) capture of large numbers of non-combatant men, women and children as booty and their sale as slaves all over the Islamic world; 3) forcible conversion to Islam of people who were in no position to resist; 4) reduction to the status of zimmis or non-citizens of all those who could not be converted and imposition of inhuman disabilities on them; 5) emasculation of the zimmis by preventing them from possessing arms; 6) impoverishment of the zimmis through heavy discriminatory taxes and misappropriation of a major part of what the peasants produced; 7) ruination of the native and national culture of the zimmis by suppressing and holding in contempt all its institutions and expressions.
