One of the many picture found on the internet that tells us about what is happening to our climate

We should all be concerned about global
warming, and as a concerned citizen I am worried, because it seems to me that
it is being partly forgotten, even these days that there are these huge
hurricanes, like hurricane Sandy which has devastated many states in America,
the majority of people don’t really try to talk what can be done to stop global
warming, they don’t seem interested enough to do anything much, and if they do
it is like a passive interest. What else should happen before we all try harder
to understand the situation and do something about it?
For my own part I can describe what I see
is happening in these parts of Australia. A few years ago we had a drought then
we have had two years with a lot or rain and floods, and now the drought seems
to be starting again; the weather here seems to change suddenly from very wet
to dry or very dry.
Now, let me talk about my life experience
about the weather, I have been living in Brisbane for more than fifty years,
and because I have been in a farm when I was young I always look at what is the
weather like every day, so I have a pretty good idea what is going on and I am
worried; I am worried because this issue of global warming, or perhaps we
should call this climatic change are not taken seriously enough. I can see and
feel the changes that are taking place weather wise and I hope that there is something that we can do, so I am looking for sign that steps are being taken
from governments. But they don’t seem to care that much, they only seem to
mention it every now and then and everything they do is very little compared to
what needs to be done.
So, I have decided to write a few hubs or
posts to publish on the internet, So that, I can be counted in, as one that is
in favour of doing something about this problem of global warming.
Here I need to say, that personally I
cannot add much to what has already been written from the experts, so, I am
going to copy some reports that I find worth reading in the hope that you my
readers read them and let your own government know what you think. Here I have
also to say that everyone of us can help a little bit, starting from the way we
live our lives, for instance even recycling is one of those things that can
help, of course there are also many other things to consider.
So let us see what the experts say:
Report from the Internet; let us learn
about it;

Let us see what the expert say
So let us see what they say; in order to do
that I have picked up a few links that explain the situation. So, click on the
links below to learn whatever the expert are telling us?
What Is Global Warming -
Concerned about its effects?
Global Warming Facts,
Causes and Effects of Climate Change | NRDC
There are a lot more sites that explain the
situation, anyhow let us hope that these link work.
Let us learn more about global
warming
Apart from the reports about Hurricane
Sandy these days, there are other reports all pointing out about the weather
changes, and the extreme pattern that is emerging so to speak, so, I believe
that something needs to be done. This is one of the reasons why I am writing
this hub, because I would like to be counted in, as one that would like to see
something done about it.
You see, there are many sites on the
Internet that warn us and encourage us to to join them and let us be counted, I
could copy and paste some of these very interesting articles, but that will
make my hub contain duplicate content, so I have thought to use these articles
somewhere else in the web, and then paste the link here, so that you can see
what I mean.
One of these web address is one of my blog,
called Mother Nature Challenge, here is the link; http://helpplanete.blogspot.com/

Global warming is here for good
Every day I see more and more signs that
really increase my concerns about global warming, I have to say that I have
never wished that I would have to say this publically, but there are times when
we really need to express our opinion openly, in the hope that people take
notice of the facts that are happening right now, so, let me explain what I
personally see today. Because what is happening right now has never happened
before to the same extend.
But, first of all let me explain how and
why I have come to this conclusion about these extra concerns about global
warming, since I see a great difference in temperature in the city of Brisbane
(Australia). From my observations I estimate that the temperature in Brisbane
has gone up about three degrees, in the last fifty years or there about. If
this trend keeps going on I don’t know how we will cope with this very high
temperature in the future.
I have been living in Brisbane for the last
52 years apart for short breaks, and since I came to Brisbane I have always
worked outside in the building industry. When one works outside one is forced
to take notice of the weather every day, so what I am saying here in this
article is mainly from my own personal observations, so let me describe one of
these observations that come to my mind most often and the worries that this
observation brings with it.
Working as a bricklayer in the building
industry, I know very well that when it is hot it is a lot harder to lay bricks
for many reasons, one of the reasons is that even though the temperature might
be only thirty degrees, it happens that in some part of the works in the sun
may well be forty degrees or even fifty degrees, I could go on explaining some
more of these reasons, but this is not the right place to describe them all,
but what I need to point out here is the fact that because of the very hot
temperature, sometimes when it became extreme we would stop working for the
rest of the day. Most of the time it would work this way, if the temperature
went over thirty degrees and increasing (we) or the boss would have to make a
decision whether to continue working or go home for the rest of the day. Now
did you hear what I have just said? When the temperature was thirty degrees or
higher we usually would stop working.
Presently in Brisbane for the last week the
temperature has been well over thirty degrees, in fact it has been thirty three
and thirty four for a whole week and today it might reach thirty five degrees
or more, so I hope that you see what I mean here: when I say that I am more
concerned than ever about global warming.
----------------------------
This short notice or article here I need to
add that I will be posting more articles about Global warming in the future,
but at this stage I am wondering that I would like to link Global Warming with
my other writings, and even though this is not a religious issue it is still
linked to the religious issues that I have already published, so here-under are
some links that you can check out.
-----------------------------------------
Where could global warming take
us?
This is how Mother Nature would like our planet earth to be all the time, after all it is her work to keep the planet alive and well.
Here we have reasons to believe that global
warming could slowly change our ways of living, you see, just by logic
reasoning we could easily imagine that if the average temperature goes up there
will be places where life will become harder and harder, it will be hotter and
uncomfortable for us to say the least, but, not only it will be hot and
uncomfortable for us, but the vegetation will start to die back when it is dry
and hot and will not regenerate easily, therefore the desert land will increase
in size, while the fertile land will shrink and slowly become arid land good
for nothing, I believe that we should really think about this and try to see if
there is something that can be done at least to slow the process of global
warming.
If we are not able to do much to slow what
is happening now, then we should really get ready to see the world in a
different way. We should try to find other ways on how to survive in an hostile
environment, but I would hate to live in a world that everything will depend
from ourselves, because if something goes wrong there is nothing else to fall
back in order to save ourselves.
This is how we might end up, because we work against Mother Nature, and one day Mother Nature may destroy us.
Perhaps you think that this could never
happen to us, but look even now there are already places that are so arid that
is impossible to live on that land, one has only to look around to find the
evidence. Now if we look even harder and criticize ourselves and look so far
ahead we can see that one day we might disappear from the face of the earth,
and if we don’t there will be a lot less people living on earth, because there
is no way that they can survive, ether from the heat or from starving, because
the earth will not produce enough for people to survive. I hope you see what I
mean?
