Global warming and space Technology
Dear All,
We all are very use to with the word " global warming and its effect". We also know what is the reason of global warming.
May be you are aware about the strong strom which been happened in my country. Its the big treat from nature and big reason is global warming and with few year our 50% country land will go under water due to sea level high.Some other country like Maldip, Egypt and some other also will face problem.Every year so many seminars and workshops on this issue over the world but result not improve. So we are spending sleepless night to think about our future.
So my resuqest to all fourm member to highlight this issue to ESA/UN/NASA and all other space agency to help us to let us know the real situation and make a list of the country who are main prodecuder green house gasses and who are main suffers.
So that we can highlight space technology's uses and imprtancy on this matter for solving the problem.

Dear Nitto,
I'm from India and i totally understand your concern. India is also facing a similar crisis.
Probably Bangladesh could tie up with ISRO for weather monitoring. Satellite based prediction of cyclones already exists in India. India is (i think) also trying to develop a satellite based tsunami warning system with all the SAARC nations.
As far as mitigation of global warming is concerned, i'm afraid space technology cant play a very big role.(at least for now). The various governments, UN and most importantly people like us who have to take up the initiative to save this earth.
Probably with development of solar power satellites, anti matter technology, space elevators etc
we will not only be able to replace conventional sources of energy but also form space colonies.
That is when space tech will have a major impact on global climate change. But frankly, i dont see that happening atleast for the next 20 years.

Dear Nitto and Rahul,
you are discussing a very important issue there. SGAC just created a new project that is aimed at help find solutions for environmental problems, like global warming.
Please check out this project at:

I think NASA offer a great animation using remote sensing data from satellite, the real situation regarding the climate change and global worming are available on the link:
