Media and Environmental Discourse

Abstract

 Nepal Divested
 The series of earthquakes of around 7.8 magnitudes rumbled the entire city to wreckage with a distinct sense  of déjà vu. An irreparable damage has been done. Countless death and injuries, millions of people rendered  homeless. The beautiful valleys in the country obliterated. In the matter of the seconds, the “Land of  Temples” lies quite in rubbles. The entire World is yet to come out of this stagger. With the speculations of  more such strikes, a worldwide alert is declared. Not long back Japan faced almost the same story with the  earthquake of magnitude 9.0 triggering tsunami, killing some 27, 500 people followed by a Nuclear catastrophe in the northeast Japan. The most devastating happening of the times after the Second World War  pushed Japan back to the times of their past wreckage. Japan took hundreds of years to come out of that  rubble and found itself in the same soup. With radiations levels soaring in the seawater near Fukushima  environmentalists felt the ripples of it across globe. Global Warming has become the most talked about  issue. On the 45th Anniversary of Earth Day, its imperative to open a serious discourse about the coverage of  environment issues by the media.
