Norvergence: Bhopal Gas Tragedy is One of The Major World Industrial Accident


Bhopal gas tragedy is counted among the world’s major industrial accidents of the 20th century. The researchers at Norvergence also conducted research from an environmental point of view on the incident “The Bhopal Gas Tragedy” to know more about the causes and effects of the incident on humans and their surroundings.


Firstly, this incident is one of the major industrial accidents as more than 3,787 people were reported dead due to the leakage of the toxic methyl isocyanate gas in Bhopal. The incident took place at midnight on 2nd Dec 1984 at Union Carbide Corporation Company in Bhopal.

All the three factors mentioned above made the Bhopal Gas Tragedy is one of the biggest industrial accidents as it affected continued for years after the incident took place.

The researchers at Norvergence feels it’s time for the government to make strong policies related to industrial safety. The Bhopal incident could have been managed or prevented if the government made sure that the company is qualified enough to handle any emergency and on the other hand the government should have information about the chemical and the extent of danger and safety required before providing the license to any such company.

Novergence.: Major Current Environmental Problem

Global warming is a prevailing thought-provoking environment problem. Right from the north pole of the earth to the south pole, the world is growing warmer day by day. Norvergence , an initiative taken by a team of conservationists , is on a mission to create awareness about the consequences of global warming.  "Today, certain human activities have resulted in a rise of greenhouse gas concentration which is responsible for melting ice caps/glaciers, and rising sea levels" states an expert conservationist at Novergence. Many lines of evidence collected by NASA demonstrate that the mean global temperature is increasing on pace and is adversely affecting the entire ecosystem. After a deep analyze projections of future changes in the climate, scientists claim that the sea ice in the northern hemisphere is disappearing rapidly.

Norvergence: Record-Shattering Heat Wave Makes Alaska Hotter Than New York City

Source: Mashable On Independence Day, i:e 4 th July, when every American was celebrating the taste of freedom, environmentalists at Norvergence were focusing on the unexpected temperature of Alaska.  For the first time in history, Alaska’s temperature reached 32 degree Celsius. It was found hotter than New York City. Norvergence quotes what NBC News meteorologist Bill Karins has said, “ Breaking an all-time record by this much is pretty unheard of in the climate community.” The different weather agencies have reported that this temperature will remain as it is through the weekdays across the southcentral and southwest Alaska. The high temperature is the result of climate change that is happening because of increasing global warming. Source: Accu Weather When Norvergence checked the history and did more research about Alaska weather, it found that the climate is determined by the average precipitation and temperature received.  And there a...

Team Norvergence LLC - Resolving Climate Change Through AI

Regular and somewhat straightforward innovations can likewise assist clients with being naturally cognizant. For example, in 2017, the vehicle area was the wellspring of more than a fourth of all-out ozone harming substance emanations in the E.U. The utilization of autonomous vehicles that don't run on fuel dodges such naturally destructive transportation.    AI reasoning upheld smart meters, which are presently broadly introduced in homes, permit two-way correspondence between the force network and clients, saving energy and giving a superior comprehension of force used to energy suppliers. Also, AI is helping battle our reliance on petroleum products by making sustainable power innovations like sunlight based boards more proficient and practical.    Whenever utilized reasonably, artificial consciousness can add to worldwide manageability. Artificial intelligence should be perceived as vital to enabling governments, associations and people to settle on more ed...
