Lost Himalayas
If you compare the existing photographs with George Mallory's photos of Himalayas (dated 1921); it reveals a stunning truth; the ice of the Himalaya is disappearing faster than scientists predicted. If the present rate of melting continues for next 50 years; Himalayas will become history.
Melting glaciers in the Himalaya is controversial; and many disputed reports from glaciologists.

BP Oil Spill & Bhopal
The Bhopal Gas Tragedy is the world's worst industrial disaster:
It occurred on the night of December 2/3, 1984 at the Union Carbide India Limited (subsidiary of Dow Chemical) pesticide plant in Bhopal-India. A leak of gas and other chemicals from the plant resulted in the exposure of several thousands of people. About fifteen thousand people died so far. In that 8000 were immediate deaths.
In June 2010, seven ex-employees, including the former chairman of UCIL, were convicted in Bhopal of causing death by negligence and sentenced to two years imprisonment and a fine of about $2,000 each, the maximum punishment allowed by law; unfortunately Justice denied to those families; who lost their loved ones. So far they have not got adequate compensation in last so many years. Justice denied to those families.
Let’s take a look at BP Oil Spill in Gulf of Mexico, USA:
Thank god; no deaths!
$20 Billion (with $3 billion immediate deposit in escrow account); Americans received as compensation from BP. This is for Oil spill from BP Oil Drill; which caused environment disaster, affected many beach goers and fishermen, and for impact to regional economy.
