Sinking cities! Temperatures rising faster than any time in history! One million of the world’s species extinct within 50 years! Welcome to the end. A little suspension of disbelief, please. What you’ve read below is one intro that goes somewhere. Topnotch throng of experts says such log of mayhem has a very real chance of happening. Let’s start with this. In the Philippines, the Marcoses aren’t coming back but martial law is. It’s December 2030, and Metro Manila is one flooded, over populated mess. Urban migration is at an all-time high. Families uprooted from coastal towns all over the country occupy wings at skyscrapers turned resettlements centers, victims all flash floods and landslides unleashed by typhoons and monsoon rains in recent years. Outside, the coast guards patrol the city for curfew violators, usually skilled ex-marines and mercenaries backed by sinister coalition of corrupt and discharged generals and power-hungry families with trapo pedigrees. These new age pirates are gunning for the DSWD logistics command, where food, medicine, and other basic needs are stored. Elsewhere in the world, violence and foul weather have been an everyday occurrence. In Britain, Big Ben is half-buried in a tightly packed tomb of snow and ice. The majority of her Majesty’s forces are stationed in the vast Edinburgh City Fortress, on the look out for swarms of latter day Scandinavian Vikings desperate to invade Britain. Across the Atlantic, Los Angeles is disappeared under floodwater as the Sierra Nevada mountain range shrugs off its old blanket of snow. Police boats scour the former streets for survivors and for supplies that can feed and clothe millions of shivering starlets now sheltered in Hollywood Hills. Oil prices have quadrupled in a matter of months, Holland’s famous canals have dried out, and the domestic commercial infrastructure have simply collapsed. Stoned locals wander the streets like zombies. Down in the southern hemisphere, UN troops combat private armies, foiling their attempt to secure water supplies for industries owned by their billionaire bosses. These scenes play out in public news broadcasts all over the world. War- thanks to global warming-has become television’s highest rated reality show. Are you getting the picture now?
Climate change is happening now.
Mother Nature bitch-slap the planet with a brand of whupass that’d most likely compel Noah’s descendants to speed up production of countless arks.
Global Warming is not as simple as a blistering five-minute exposure to the summer sun. It occurs when carbon dioxide and other air pollution build up in the atmosphere, trapping the sun’s heat and warming up the planet. We’ve burned billions of tons of oil, coal, and gas, as well as chopped down most worlds’ forests. Moreover, ice caps in the Artic and Antarctica are melting, resulting in increased sea levels. In the long run, this will lead to floods, wiping out entire coastal areas. Even cities won’t be spared.
Climate change is a merciless murderer. It’s killing us gently. Mother Nature fancies torture more, taking jobs away from us, spewing lethal diseases that slay our love ones, and destroying our source of sustenance. The solution isn’t about outwitting Mother Nature, it’s about junking activities that infuriate her. We really have to reduce the release of
greenhouse gases. Tapping other sources can minimize fossil fuels’ ill effect. We have to push for the use of alternative renewable energy like wind power, geothermal, solar rather than fossil fuel. Of course, planting is a great help because plants absorb
carbon dioxide. If we must act, we must act now. If not now, When?
