Have you ever felt about today’s climate? For instance, countries around equator line which have tropical climate, rain falls too much even causes floods and dry season come in a long term until many people are lack of fresh water. Besides, in summer or just at noon, you sweat and felt like the sun just above your head. Don’t you fell something went wrong to our earth? So, what is it? How can it be happened?
That’s the signs of Global Warming which has been issued by almost all people around the world. We have to consider about our earth’s condition. Now, the amount of iceberg in Nort Pole and South Pole are decreasing as earth temperature keeps going to be higher, iceberg in Kilimajaro Mount disappears now, and ozone layer is more and more thicker, floods happened everywhere, big storm, etc. That means our earth is sick now and we have to heal it.
So, what is global warming? What are impacts to human? Why people are restless with it? And is there any solution for it?
First, we have to know better and understand about the consequences of global warming, they are storm rain and ice rain, tsunami, earthquake, the presence of many new deseases, iceberg melting, sea water lever become higher, and unstable economic of several country.
Stephen Hawking, a physics expert, said that nuchlear war threatening has gone but there will be something worse. If world war just killed hundreds of people, but global warming can kill millions of people. Meanwhile, Gregory R , from a well-known university in Northwestern, USA, said that global warming can cause methane gas explotion which is 10.000 times bigger than nuchlear explotion whole the world. Global warming also cause biggest flood, so it can cause 90% extinction of underwater-species and 75% extinction of land-species.
Zwally, from NASA, said that iceberg in pole will have a possibility to disappear at the end of summer in 2012. Purportedly, the iceberg in pole has a function to bounce off 80% of hotness of sun on earth. If iceberg melts, sea water will be hot too and eart is hotter. Then, methane gas will be exploded to the sea. The gas is very much and it is enough to kill all species in the world.
What makes global warming goes worse?
The emission of CO2 which produced by animal husbandry has a bigger contribution to global warming than the emission of CO2 from all the transportation whole the world. The amount of CO2 from a cow is equal to the amount of CO2 from a vehicle which had traveled 70.000 km away.
Mrs. Martin, from Chicago University, said that if we don’t eat meat, fish, chicken, milk, and egg, we can reduce 50% of global warming which is contributed from one person.
So, what can we do now?
1. Cut the main cause off : by being a vegetarian (avoid all products from animal)
2. Cut the other cause off : use things that can’t harm environment, do reforestation, using stuff that can’t harm environment, turn your stuff off if it is not used .
3. Pray to God, because only God who has this life.
So the most important one is our considering to care to our environment. Lets make our earth to be green again.
