Oh, how cruel is the world! It keeps on destroying our homes and properties by continually sending its storms. Our environment is suffering from the severe heat coming from that crazy sun! Can’t you feel the heat biting? Isn’t it painful? Are we really that numb that we do not feel the anger of the world?
I just heard from the news and read some articles that the four seasons: spring summer, winter, and fall had moved to from their usual months of occurrence. These days, predicting the occurrence of the seasons is hard. You might wonder why leaves are still falling even though it’s already December.
Even here in the Philippines, there are certain climatic changes that are happening. There is a dramatic change in our weather. We feel the extreme heat of the sun during the dry season. And this feeling is not usual because the heat really penetrates to your skin only within a short span of time. I also noticed a fluctuating pattern in the weather of our country. I get amazed by the very sunny morning that will eventually turn into strong and rainy evenings.
Truly, when nature strikes, it strikes hard.
But is nature the one who is cruel, or is it the other way around? We, citizens of the world; are the ones who are destroying our earth Anything we do, big or small, can contribute to the world’s destruction. We are the ones who are destroying our own place. We have triggered the occurrence of global warming.
Global warming is the direct result of the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is the warming of the earth’s atmosphere, which is the effect of atmospheric gases on the balance of terrestrial and solar radiation. Solar radiation is short wavelength infrared waves, which is stronger than terrestrial radiation, a long wavelength infrared. If there is too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, it will inhibit terrestrial radiation. This keeps our world a cozy place to live at. However, too much of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases will also inhibit the long waves, which are, supposed to be expelled in space. These waves come back to earth causing a grave change in temperature.
This phenomenon would not happen if we do not abuse our environment. If we are just give concern to what is happening in our world today, then we could still be raised from this turmoil. We, humans, comprise of the biggest part in destroying our place. We do it by using petroleum as gasoline for our vehicles, per se, and all other activities that emit greenhouse gases. We all know that petroleum comes from fossil fuels which compost mostly of carbon. By burning these products, exhaust gases are exposed to the atmosphere and eventually trap terrestrial radiation as well. Inefficient use of electricity or energy is also a factor.
All these things cause the global warming of the globe or what we call global warming. I see no curative way in bringing back the old beautiful world that we once lived. But I see sure preventive ways towards the continuous destruction of the world. The ways are as follows: using biodiesel than petroleum since it does not emit too much carbon dioxide, not burning plastics and rubbers and avoid too much consumption of energy.
These are just few ways in preventing continuous destruction of the globe. These could save our next generations from a polluted earth because of us. Let us be sensitive with what is happening to our world. Start loving the world.
