Global Crisis: Mother Nature Screams RAWR!
Global Warming?
What do you think? Is it a myth or is it scientifically proven?
It is still debatable since everyone has its own opinion regarding of the issue. But what with the increase of the sea water level and the melting ice blocks in the North Pole, global warming might be no laughing matter. The other signs that we notice is probably the humidity where the air feels a bit stickier when it gets hot which comes to another sign that we notice is the air temperature is getting more and more uncomfortably hotter than the usual. This is very serious, since it can affect not just us humans but as well as animals as well.
Have you seen towns or island being eaten up by massive tidal wave till the whole area were flooded or even places that were so scorching hot till the whole area were dehydrated by the heat till it turn the land to drought? To those who had never experience this kind of weather or natural cause of disaster you‘re lucky because believe me you wouldn’t last a minute in this kind of crisis. Many foreigners are taking refuge in other countries because of this problem. There are some that manage to slide in and stay but the unlucky ones are still there hoping and wishing that they could live in a better place.
But what did we do to make global warming possible? You see everything that we do nowadays is affecting Mother Nature. There are several examples that I would like to state here such as our cars, air conditioner, burning our forests illegally and even littering irresponsibly. According to the Nagoya City Science Museum (NCSM) website, the earth has its own clothes to control the air temperature and if the air has more carbon dioxide instead of oxygen then probably global warming can occur.
Although people are still being irresponsible and they keep on harming Mother Nature. There are still several organizations that still giving out helping hands to preserve the eco-system. Popular environmental agencies and organizations such as World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and National Geographic Society give huge impact to our society. Did you know that there are another 23 more environmental agencies and organizations that you might not know? I will share it with you under my reference and you can read about these organizations.
They’re campaigns are very interesting actually. Have you ever participate for Earth Hour where you have to shut off all electronic gadgets or any electrical source at home for about 60 minutes? I have and I have to say seeing everyone joining in the fun and save Mother Nature is a lot of fun. What about you? Did you join? When’s the last time you turn of your hand phone?
The media as well can play their part by sending out a message to the world and since the media is a bigger and much more global, the message and the voices of the people can be heard. Journalists and reporters can take note of the current situation and make use of it to help out those who are in need. According to Ward (2009), he had remarked that in effect, reporters may have been too long in balancing opinions about science when in fact should have been evaluating and reporting the evidence based on the statistic of science. Social media is always there to those who are in need of help in times of troubles.
In conclusion, there will always be a way to stop global warming (not by liking those posts on Facebook). But in order to achieve such a thing the people must make a change by starting with their own self first. Educate the younger generations to be more loving to one self and the environment. I believe the world can be heal and we can make it a better place.
“What have we’ve done to the world
Look what we’ve done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son…
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine…
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth this weeping shores” – Earth Song by Michael Jackson
Before I ended this topic, here’s two video for you. Take this moment to think and make a difference. Enjoy.
