    • Sea water ka climate change se kia taaluq?

      Kuch din pehle tum coal se bijli bananay ka shosha chor rahay thay, uska climate change se taaluq hai. Lekin us par tum bara shor macha rahay thay k coal se bijli bari zabardast hai. Ye bhool jao k us se lung cancer, saans ki beemari, heart diseases waghera b hoti hai aur climate k liay b bura hai. Yahan aa k sea water ka shosha chor dia ab. Bhai jaan agar kisi topic k baray me maloomat na hon to insaan ko chup rehna chahiyay, lekin aapko ye batana bhens k agay been bajanay ki tarah hai.
