A Big Blow From Climate Change!
“CHANGE IS WHAT WE NEED”, the words Barack Obama used as his platform in the midst of US presidential campaign. But climate change is not the change the world needs.
Have you noticed the severe heat these past few months? And then, unexpectedly, rain will fall down angrily to your house’s roof or worse, soak you all over your body! Now, we are being tormented by consecutive tropical depressions (alongside with people’s depression for the rainy days) and just the past few weeks, we are ravaged by the consecutive storms!
Global warming does not do anything beneficial to everyone. Scientists debate whether the issue is manmade or a natural phenomenon. Whatever it is, it’s still harmful and definitely not cool.
Rivers are dead. The air is impure. Soil is degraded. Unpredictable is the new word to define weather forecasting. The news speaks for themselves. And we cannot evade the fact that we are the ones who contributed great in the worldwide weather abnormality. What’s the risk?
Nations all over the world suffers big blow because of climate change. Deserts in the Middle east and Africa experienced floods, yes, floods! What else it can be? Other countries witnessed typhoons, cyclones, hurricanes and anything ‘bout weather matters took hundreds of lives or even thousands! They are threatened by hailstones and whirlwinds that ravaged their living.
I should have come out of other title than the one I have posted since I would like to insert other topics particular to the human’s avaricious exploitations of Mother Earth. Pollution. Nonrenewable energy. Mining. Yes, mining and deforestation. Nature has sacrificed a lot and now people have to suffer.
Fresh news did not make our morning bright like the extreme flooding and landslide tragedies bury more than thousands of lives and houses while many are still missing. You’ll see how rain can tumble down a hill weakened by continuous mining thus making a rush of boulders and mud to engulf houses and lives. Such will make one to reminisce tragic events like the Ginsaugon Leyte and Ormoc disaster. Yes, people’s wrongdoings were blamed but the rain helps, right? It can be a product of climate change which is again pinpoints its finger to human, the guilty race.
I still remember our mobilization camp one from now. I remember how we endured the mud in our feet and hours of being soaked under the rain carrying dampened bags, one cannot even think why I did not caught cold when I came home. It’s all because of unpredictable weather as what they have reasoned out. At least there’s no landslide occurred and those who participated the program are still alive and kicking.
It’s sad that none of the leading countries would want to sacrifice its economy for the sake of the Earth’s standing. Movements of scattered environmental groups are not enough to help our ailing Mother Earth. A slogan will sell if it contains this message: “GLOBAL WARMING: The Earth’s Warning.”
The Earth has finally gets her revenge against us. She’s here first even millions of years before us.
“As I take a walk nearby the riverside, the river itself is dead; I see lights flickering from the gargantuan skyscrapers besides the noticeable foggy ambience. Oh, how I wish I could see stars in a bright velvet sky instead?”
