deepens as money will lose its value fast in the U.S. and
in Europe. This will result in wrong economic and
financial policies - on the assumption of hopes for a
continuous economic growth. In 2012 the U.S. financial
system collapses. The state will no longer be able to pay
its employees. This will lead to a chain response and
chaos in the society as a whole. Many shops, factories
and banks will become bankrupt, more and more people
will be without work, and thus without livelihoods.

17. The marine life is sensitive to the increase in
temperatures. The effect of global warming will
definitely be seen on some species in the water.
A survey was made in which the marine life reacted
significantly to the changes in water temperatures.
Many species may die off or become extinct due to
the increase in the temperatures of the water,
whereas various other species, which prefer warmer
waters, will increase tremendously.

18. An approach to mitigation is Carbon capture and
storage (CCS). Emissions may be sequestered from
fossil fuel power plants, or removed during
processing in hydrogen production. When used on
plants, it is known as bioenergy with carbon
capture and storage. Mitigation of global warming
is accomplished through reductions in the rate of
anthropogenic greenhouse gas release.

26. OVERPOPULATION?: The world's population
doubled between 1940 and 2000 (to reach six
billion), with 90 per cent of the total growth in the
1990s taking place in the non-industrialized
regions of the world. Population increases were
accompanied by rapid urbanization, unplanned
and unsupported by improvements in the urban
infrastructure. Such rapid demographic change
caused increasing social pressures, which could
lead to social instability and conflict. 26

28. OVERPOPULATION
Myth A: The world is overcrowded and population
growth is adding overwhelming numbers of humans
to a small planet. In fact, people do live in crowded
conditions, and always have. We cluster together in
cities and villages in order to exchange goods and
services with one another. But while we crowd
together for economic reasons in our great
metropolitan areas, most of the world is empty, as
we can see when we fly over it. It has been
estimated by Paul Ehrlich and others that human
beings actually occupy no more than 1 to 3 percent
of the earth's land surface.
28

29. OVERPOPULATION
Myth B: Overpopulation is threatening the world
food supply. According to the Food and Agriculture
Organization, world food supplies exceed
requirements in all world areas, amounting to a
surplus approaching 50 percent in 1990 in the
developed countries, and 17 percent in the
developing regions. "Globally,

32. By 2025, efforts have to be made to educate, empower and
train in life skills, the people of crowded districts of rural
North India. The demographic duality should not be allowed
to widen the gap between north and south. Entrepreneurial
families from north India have lived for decades in southern
cities, but absorption of unskilled labourers looking for work
may rekindle dormant animosities unless socio-cultural
integration efforts are made. Ethno-nationalist parties in
India attempt a democratic way to seek their place in
development .India is known for its capacity for unity in
diversity.

38. And the biggest reason to worry about the end of life is
the prediction in Nature, perhaps the world‟s most
respected science journal, that at least three-quarters
of the Earth’s species are wiped out every 62 to 65
million years. It has been 65 million years since the
Cretaceous-Tertiary disaster extinguished the dinosaurs,
meaning that we are now overdue for a cataclysm that will
without doubt reduce our population by at least half,
smash our infrastructure to smithereens, and drive most of
whatever is left of our civilization underground. Ha Ha!

43. And the good news / bad news is that there will
be even more incredibly toxic stuff to burn up in
the future, at least according to those who share
the fears voiced by Stephen Hawking, who
believes that humankind will extinguish
itself from the face of the planet through
the misuse of biological weapons: “In the
long term, I am more worried about biology.
Nuclear weapons need large facilities, but genetic
engineering can be done in a small lab.” 43

44. United States and Soviet Union emerged as bitterly
opposed superpowers with the resources to develop
huge arsenals of nuclear weapons. From 1947 a
“Cold War" developed between them and their
allies, in the course of which they gave support to
opposing sides in conflicts in, for example, Korea,
Vietnam, Angola and the Middle East, while the two
superpowers remained formally at peace. The
collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and the Soviet
Union in 1989-91 brought the Cold War to an end.
44

45. Visitors view the carnage of war through the sheer
number and scale of military cemeteries dotting the
countryside. For example, in the Somme River valley
of northern France, many crossroads are marked with
small signs directing the traveler to World War I
cemeteries. In Europe, cemeteries provide the
principal link to 20th-century wars; subsidiary ties
include cultural resources such as memorials, trench
lines, pill boxes, and statues.
45

46. The defining feature of the closing decades of
the 20th century and the start of the 21st
century was considered by some to be
"globalization", with multinational corporations
moving their operations around the world in
accordance with their needs, and individuals
travelling and communicating with one another
across frontiers with unprecedented ease.

71. What is Coronavirus?
o The coronavirus belongs to the family of viruses that are resultant in deadly
infections, including Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERSA) and Severe
Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
o The coronavirus is a family of viruses that can cause a range of illnesses in
humans including common cold and more severe forms like SARS and MERS
which are life-threatening.
o The virus is named after its shape which takes the form of a crown with
protrusions around it and hence is known as coronavirus.
o Human Coronavirus were First Identified in 1960. Till Today Total 6 Types of
Corona Viruses are found in the World that can Infect People.
o These viruses are zoonotic, which means they are transmitted from animals to
humans. 2019 Novel Coronavirus, or 2019-nCoV, is a new respiratory virus first
identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China.
o Preventing coronavirus from spreading is a challenge

72. On 29th Sept., India's coronavirus tally crosses 60 lakh-mark
The tally of coronavirus cases in India surged past the 60
lakh-mark on Tuesday [29-Sept. 2020], with several states
continuing to witness a daily spike in infections.
India's COVID-19 caseload crossed 60 lakh on Monday with
82,170 new cases, while the number of recoveries surged to
50.17 lakh after 74,893 more people recuperated in the last
24 hours, the Union health ministry said. It took 110 days for
the COVID-19 cases in the country to reach a lakh mark,
while it had taken 59 days more to go past the 10-lakh post.

73. Providing information about the trajectory of recoveries in the
country, the ministry said that the rise in the number of total
recovered cases from 1 lakh in June 2020 "has been steep"
and the last 10 lakh recoveries were added in just 11 days.
"India's total recoveries have crossed the landmark milestone
of 50 lakh today (50,16,520). With a very high number of
COVID patients recovering every single day, India's steady
trend of posting high level of daily recoveries continues," the
ministry said. "The total recovered cases have outpaced
active cases by more than 5 times. With the exponential
increase in the recoveries, there is close to 100 per cent
increase in recovered cases in one month," it said.

74. o The Union health ministry launched a web portal that will
provide all important information on COVID-19, the stages
of vaccine development, ongoing clinical trials and
progress made in this area locally and globally.
o The ''vaccine web portal'' and the ''National Clinical
Registry for COVID-19'' have been developed by the
Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and was
launched by Union health minister Harsh Vardhan,
according to a health ministry statement. Vardhan earlier
had said that a COVID-19 vaccine is likely to be available
by the first quarter of 2021.

75. The National Clinical Registry for COVID-19 will collect
systematic data on clinical signs and symptoms, laboratory
investigations, management protocols, the clinical course of
COVID-19, disease spectrum and outcomes of patients.
"The data will serve as an invaluable tool for formulating
appropriate patient management strategies, predicting
disease severity, patient outcomes etc," the ICMR said in a
statement. The vaccine portal contains all information
regarding Indian efforts towards the development of a vaccine
against COVID-19.

76. A test that can accurately diagnose coronavirus in minutes will
dramatically expand testing in low and middle-income countries, the World
Health Organization (WHO) has said. The $5 (£3.80) test could transform
tracking of Covid-19 in less wealthy countries, which have shortages of
healthcare workers and laboratories. A deal with manufacturers will
provide 120 million tests over six months. The WHO's head called it a
major milestone. Lengthy gaps between taking a test and receiving a
result have hampered many countries' attempts to control the spread of
coronavirus. In some countries with high infection rates, including India
and Mexico, experts have said that low testing rates are disguising the
true spread of their outbreaks. The "new, highly portable and easy-to-use
test" will provide results in 15-30 minutes instead of hours or days, WHO
Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a news conference
on Monday [28/9].

77. Cipla to launch COVID-19 treatment drug Favipiravir: CSIR: The
Council of Scientific and Industrial Research on Thursday announced
that Mumbai-based pharmaceutical firm Cipla is all set to launch drug
Favipiravir for the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
CSIR developed the process of
using locally available
chemicals to synthesise the
Active Pharmaceutical
Ingredient (API) and
transferred the technology to
Cipla.
