Break to global warming due to outbreak of covid

Global lockouts and restrictions on human communication due to corona infection have reduced global pollution by 70-80%. The corona virus is becoming an angel for the global warming crisis.

News of the positive impact of the lockdown on Earth Day flashed. The air in the most polluted cities became cleaner and cleaner. The rivers and beaches around the industrial city were largely cleansed. In the case of India, for example, the pollution of the Ganges has been a matter of concern for political and religious identities for the last four or five decades. About Rs 40,000 to Rs 50,000 crore has been spent for the purification of the river Ganga till date. But not a single drop of Ganga was purified. Ganga river was on the verge of death. But during the lock-down period, the oxygen level of the river Ganga increased significantly. And the water of the Ganges at Haridwar is reported to be potable by the Water Pollution Control Board. Wildlife breathed a sigh of relief during the lockout. A rare Takshak snake mentioned in Puranic times appeared. Nature lovers were also fascinated by the free movement of animals and birds. The Supreme Court Justice Chandrachud's eloquent comment on the positive impact of the lockdown is that for the first time in thirty or forty years, we are experiencing the fearless free movement of the moon and peacocks and the blue sky. The extinct whale fish on the American coast was observed during this period.

Significant reduction in casualties and financial losses

About 12 lakh people die every year in India due to diseases caused by pollution. The lockdown increased the amount of oxygen in the air by restricting human circulation, thus improving human health. The incidence of infectious diseases, blood pressure and other diseases decreased during this period. At least one lakh lives were saved. Road accidents kill one person every minute in India Lockdown accidents have dropped by 90 to 95 per cent. As a result, more than 12,000 lives were saved during this period. The incidence of other ailments also declined and thousands of crores of rupees were saved for treatment as the number of accidents became negligible. Addiction in the society was reduced and money was saved.
