Global warming, and an effect of which, sea level rise, are critical to world today. This is the most debated topic in any meeting of enviornmental ministers, NGO officials, and environmentalists and their pressure groups. However, in meetings of such nature, participants often seem to have forgotten some very critical issues which are directly linked to these environmental threats. Infrarred rays are one of the key contributors to global warming, but a very pertinent issue is forgotten while discussing infrarred rays. In world countries, the highways, roads and streets are constructed using tar, made up of coal. This reflects the heated sun's rays back into the atmosphere. The Authorities must now think of an alternative material for constructing these highways such as cooking facility (water) beneath higways, that would keep the temperature low. With regards to sea level rise, no body talks about the increase in sea level due to water displacement by ships and other sea vehicles. Imagine the total volume of water displacement that would be caused by all the ships and sea vessels on the world's oceans. Are we not brave enough to manufacture these ships and vessels in a fashion that would minimise the displacement or develop energy consuming airbuses, that are environmentally friendly? A series of serious research is required in these critical areas.
