Climate Change: A Dub For Human Responsibility

No individual should wonder why life on earth is getting to be more impossible as our existence becomes longer and longer. One might dash into the notion of having a life-long happiness along his Way to the very core of his existence. Stand up and be awakened that if earth, sea and sky would work together against us, they could be dangerous indeed.

Issues on climate change have been a rampant subject tackled not only by scientists bit also in the community. We might come into realization that it’s going to be the end of the world. Not really. Take a move. Take a look on what you can do. This is not a non-sense matter which is just okay if set aside in lonesome, careless manner. We need revival- revival of care and not prolonging negligence. Nobody wants to suffer the furious revenge of Mother Nature or almost die in the blade of flashing lightings, pealing thunders and violent earthquakes. All of these signs of a whispering catastrophe- the cruel whisper of a Climate Change.

Climate change is caused naturally and by the hands of man. And almost certainly, we are the ones making the most of it. So, it is also a calling that when we make troubles particularly when concerned to Mother Nature, we must be the first tool to get out of it.

According to scientific studies, industrialization is the main reason of this big unveiling disaster to abolish all sorts of living. Escalating concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is an inevitable and tangible proof why we have to suffer this immense matter. High-level use of gasoline, fossil fuels and electricity contributes much to the greenhouse gases emission. Particulates such as carbon dioxide blanket the whole globe penetrating the protective layer of our home planet. If this happens, we must take into account that there could be global warming.

Global warming is the rise of global temperature. Chronologically, its first sign was revealed during a sudden change of the mean temperature in 1972. Deforestation is a big contributor to this taking up a part of 20 % of the whole greenhouse gases emission. If this becomes worst, glaciers and icebergs will eventually melt in polar areas which will cause sea expansion or sea level rise.

Sea level rise is an increase in the level of seawater on high tides. This is caused by the warming of water. It can affect marine lives in the sense of coral bleaching. Consequently, marine productivity will go down resulting to livelihood decrement. In addition, Philippines is one of the most vulnerable countries of seal level rise.

Climate change also causes extreme weather events. This includes extreme drought, extreme rain and strong typhoons. Accordingly, it is said that there are 19 predicted tropical cyclones to pass in our country for a year. And during this phenomenon, possibilities of having soil erosion and landslides are very alarming to each individual. Livelihood will also go down and there will be food shortage. Climate is an imperative driver of food security. However, climate change aggravates food security.

Incidence of diseases would not be uncertain if this becomes even more infuriated. Wet and dry conditions may cause dengue, malaria and typhoid fever. So, be prepared and be able to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

All of these are the staggering canisters of our Mother Nature. So, if you think it’s time to make a move, make it now. Don’t waste a second for tomorrow will never be the same as today. Tomorrow, we might wake up with darkness and nothingness. Always remember that adaptation is a must to answer these great alterations. It’s not yet too late...
