The Inconvenient Truth

This is the true video of what is happening to our planet.
We do not wish to do this but, this is an inconvenient truth.

The dire consequences of global warming..

The dire consequences of global warming..

It is evident in the world around us that very dramatic climate changes are taking place because of Global Warming.

Subsequently, the things happening around us are made visible. What can you say about mountain glaciers in our world? What I can say is this, almost all of the mountain glaciers in the world are now melting, with many of them at quite a rapid speed. What has happened to our world today? Is it the cause of humans or is it that our planet neglected us? Ask yourself this question, have the planet betrayed us or have we betrayed our planet. Obviously, we all know the answer. So, why are we doing this? Seek for the answer in your own heart, do you not feel guilty? Polar ice caps are melting. People are suffering from the intensifying heat. Floods, droughts and other natural disasters have become a major problem for us. What can we do to stop all this? What have to be done? The world's life is at stake. We have only this home to live on. Even if it is the slightest thing that we can do to save our planet, we still must, without any hesistation, do whatever that we can willingly.

Take action!

Don't just talk, Take ACTION!

The causes of Global Warming.. Why? How? Some say it occured naturally. Is that so? My answer to that question is a NO. So how did it happen? Global warming was largely due to human activites that are causing damage to the Earth. For instance, the cutting or burning of trees ( The term used"Deforestation") in order to have more land to build houses and etc.. SO what can we do to help our pitiful planet from dying? The most common but taken for granted.. Which is none other than : THE THREE Rs! Recycle, Reuse and Reduce! Many of us want to know why must we recycle, reuse and reduce.

Let's take paper bags for example. Paper comes from trees. Meaning, the cutting down of trees. Simple? So if more paper bags are produced, more trees will be cut down. That's the relationship you will have to remember. Therefore, if we reuse paper bags over and over again, the industries will not produce as much paper bags thus, it reduces the number of trees being cut. That is one way how we can save Mother Earth by reusing.

Now comes recycling. Let's take plastic bottles for example. Plastic bottles are by far, the most common thing to be thrown away for no good reasons. As all of you should know, plastics are non-biodegradable which means it cannot be decomposed until a certain period of time. (Would take centuries for it to break down.) If people bring it to the incinerator and try to melt it, it would work. However, it will only cause more damage to the Earth. Why? It is because plastics when melted, emit poisonous gases that are both harmful to us, humans and our planet. We should always recycle. It doesn't only apply to plastic bottles. Cans can be recycled as well. There are many things that can be recycled. So, think twice before you throw anything away. You never know it might cause great damage to Earth. We should all take part in upholding the safety of our planet.

Now we are talking about reducing. SO what is reducing? Yeah yeah, something dropped in quantity or decrease in amount. But if we are talking about science here, it's a whole different story altogether. Reducing, reducing, reducing.. So what exactly is it? Check out from the dictionary yourself. Okay, just kidding. Let's take what we do in our daily lives for example. When you are brushing your teeth, you should use a mug instead of using your hands to rinse your mouth. Always remember to use cold water. What matters most is that you try to save water. If you can save even the slightest bit, you should still do it. Switch off your lights and fans when not in use. That will save you some electrical bills.

Remember, always try to practise the Three Rs- Recycling, Reusing and Reducing. What you can do, do. What you can't do, try to do. To quote confucius" Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it."

Global Warming

Global warming...

So what exactly is it? Some may refer it as "climate change" otherwise, known as "Global Warming". Generally, global warming is an increase in the average atmospheric temperature in Earth. To further define, it is the increase in the average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate and that may result from what scientists call it " the greenhouse effect." Expected long-term effects of current global warming are rising sea levels, flooding, melting of polar ice caps, fluctuations in temperature , drought and forest fires. Most of these are due to human activities. Can you imagine us, earthlings to be living in space or other planets? Sounds ridiculous, no? The answer is right infront of your eyes. Our planet dying by the seconds. The depletion of the ozone layer.. This is our only home. Let's not take for granted what we have will always be.
