Care for the World
Wanted to take about this in yesterday's entry but due to being a little tied up, no choice but to do it in this entry.
See the title?
Yes... it's about the Earth.
Not trying to sound like I am an enthusiastic environmentalist.
But I am really concerned about the way the nature is right now.
My speculations made a few days ago were not wrong.
In fact it was proven right when I heard the news of the Earth's global warming concerns last night.
The potential risks include worse droughts, floods, rising sea levels and more
vicious storms, which thus poses a threat to agriculture, water supplies and
even human settlement itself.

It is also said that the Australia Great Barrier Reefs will be wiped out.
Aren't you concerned about how the world will turn out a few years down the road?
Take a few minute to think, or maybe feel the surrounding now.
Have you noticed the extreme weather change?
It's already Feb, the streets feels like air-con streets, like those in Hong Kong.
Which shouldn't be the case.
Malaysia is experiencing floods, while somewhere out there in other parts of the world, cold places are experiencing Heat Waves and droughts.
It's scary.
Just think of the movie, The Day After Tomorrow.
The Earth might experience another Ice Age.
Everything, including us, might just die out.
Had a little discussion over this with Felicia today.
In her point of view, it's not scary that everyone and everything will die.
It's the struggle that everyone will put up on the brink of death, that will be scary.
And I have to agree...
The desperation one will have, trying to survive whatever that may come, to make a last phone call to a loved one and do whatever one will deem important.
As for me, like I have always thought since young.
Don't ask me why I thought of such things when I was young.
Because everyone was saying that the end of the world would come when Human Civilisation enters the Millennium.
At that point of time, I couldn't help but think of ways of how I can be with my mum when that moment comes.
It hasn't changed.
I still want to die beside my mum.
Somehow we should all try to do our little parts in helping with this drastic situation.
Cut down on wasting too much resuorces, especially those that will emit carbon dioxide.
This will not help much, but think of it this way.
If we're able to slow down the process, we'll be able to buy time for new technology, that are able to do something about the greenhouse gases or their effects, to be established.
I just wish that things are not as negative as it seems.
Though it's important to be positive about this, we should start to do something about it...
Seems like I've just written a long essay for an examination.
Hope it didn't bore you...Labels: Feelings, Reflections
