Nataraja is the dancing form of Lord Shiva which originated during Chola period. It became the supreme statement of Hindu art.
– firmly stressing upon the dwarf of ignorance and allowing the birth of knowledge.
– statue of the dancing Shiva at CERN that unifies ancient mythology, religious art and modern physics.
The lower right hand of Nataraja shows the abhaya mudra which means “fearlessness” in Sanskrit. It asserts one to be without fear. The blessing is believed to bestow protection from both evil and ignorance to those who follow the righteousness of dharma.
The rise in temperature on global level due to increase in amount of carbon dioxide globally is known as global warming. The content of CO2 in the atmosphere is approx .003% . there is huge concern about it now a days to save the planet earth. Is it enough to merely concern the matter will save the planet earth?
Now the question that strikes in our mind is that how a gas with only a minute amount proves to be so harmful for us? Who is to be blamed for and only blaming is it correct? The main cause for its increase is human as well as natural activities. The highly developed countries every time pressurize the poor and developing countries to reduce the carbon emission. But they neglect their emission. The maximum carbon is emitted by the developed countries on name of developing new weapons and technologies. For their testing they conduct various test which in turn results in carbon emission. Recently a report released by the UN shows the carbon emission details throughout the globe. It clearly remarked a great concern and immediate steps to be taken by the world to save not only the planet earth but also to control the devastating consequences of global warming.
From the global warming, who wins or who lose? Infact the developed countries have their hand above in emitting the carbon emission from their nuclear reactors, tests of various weapons, industries etc.it is the loss of the poor countries who have abundant natural resources but unable to utilize them due to lack of awareness and modern technologies. They have sufficient to eat but cant eat due to ignorance and the developed countries exploit their resources and becoming rich. But the third world countries remains poor as it was before.

•	Loss of customer, definitely.
•	It sends negative message to the public about such firm and thus results in defamation.
•	If such firm has national coverage or is an MNC then it ultimately sends negative sentiments of the nation to which it belongs.

The employees who just got unemployed failed to get the job due to multiple reasons. They got depressed or sometimes cross the extant, choose to suicide as the soft option.
