Mother Nature Reconciliation

WE ALL LOVE MOTHER NATURE
We must love Mother Nature because we are part of her, if we did not love her then we would not be able to love ourselves, because Mother Nature is every living thing, and this includes us most of all.

Help Planet Earth

MOTHER NATURE CHALLENGE

Dear readers, today I have decided to have another go at my preferred subject; well perhaps I should say that it is not exactly my preferred subject; but it is a subject that the entire world should be looking at. In the past I have already written several post about global warming and some people seemed to have some interest in what I wrote, but then I let it go and I have written some other stuff; anyhow, I believe that it could be worth coming back to it and have another go.

Therefore, I have decided to go back to the beginning and review what I have already written in our previous posts; so if it seems that you have already heard from me about it, it is because I am editing my old post and adding something new to them as well, in the hope that my posts bring the right massage to the people. So in the past we started by saying that, we the people of this earth are taking great risks, we are doing so many things that are harming Mother Nature, so, if we are not careful we will soon pay dearly about our mistakes, because we are damaging many natural things whereby mother nature could have been able to make good again the damage we have been doing, if we continue to do that the entire planet earth may end up like a desert.

This is how the whole planet earth could be like in the future.
If we care about our-self and the coming generations we need do something positive to help this harmful situation, don't you agree?

GLOBAL WARMING
Global warming is the name that should make us think hard what we are doing to this planet, we need to pay more attention to everything that harms the natural environment.
You might say that something is being done already, since there will be a meeting of world leaders soon: but I would like to see more interest from the people themselves, after all democratic leaders have to follow the people to get voted in.
So, here is the chance to express your views on this subject, please use it?

THIS BLOG HAS BEEN CREATED TO INVITE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO ARE WILLING AND ABLE TO TAKE PART IN USEFUL DISCUSSIONS, WHICH COULD HELP SOLVE FUTURE MAN MADE NATURAL DISASTERS.

We hope that we have started a blog, which should be able to interest all the people on this planet earth. So maybe this is the right way to go, I am very interested about this subject, so, I am going to follow it closely and post many posts, as it is very important for the whole world to take part in discussions about the changes that are happening to our environment. So, let us hope that someone is interested to discuss these issues openly, or at least read about them, so that we may have a feedback from the public. Anyhow we just have to wait and see what happens?
As we have said at the beginning, we must love Mother Nature because we are part of her, if we did not love her then we would not be able to love ourselves, because Mother Nature is every living thing on this planet earth, and this includes us most of all.
But we should never forget to Help Planet Earth

MOTHER NATURE CHALLENGE
Nowadays, we the people of this earth are taking great risks, we are doing so many things that are harming Mother Nature, so, if we are not careful we will soon pay dearly, because we are damaging many things whereby mother nature could have been able to make good again the damage we have done.

This is how the whole planet earth could be like?
If we care about our-self and the coming generations we need do something positive to help this harmful situation, don't you agree?

GLOBAL WARMING
Global warming is the name that should make us think hard what we are doing to this planet, we need to pay more attention to everything that harms the natural environment.
You might say that something is being done, since there will be a meeting of world leaders soon: but I would like to see more interest from the people themselves, after all democratic leaders have to follow the people to get voted in.

After this old meeting of years ago;
• Lenore Taylor, Copenhagen
• From: The Australian
• December 09, 2009 7:45AM

UNDERLYING tensions between rich and poor nations at the Copenhagen climate negotiations have boiled to the surface with the leaking of a "secret" draft agreement prepared by the Danish host government and a select "circle of commitment" including Kevin Rudd.
The leaked document rocked the United Nations conference as it settled down to its first full day of talks, with developing countries expressing outrage at its contents, and at the fact that it had been developed behind closed doors by the so-called “friends” of the Danish conference chair, Mr Rudd, UN secretary Ban Ki Moon and leaders from other countries including the UK, Sweden, Mexico.
The Danish Government protested that there was no “secret draft for a new Copenhagen Agreement” but rather “many working papers used for testing various positions”.
Privately negotiators were furious that developing nations had resorted to such a “hostile act” because they were nervous about possible outcomes in a final climate deal.
Start of sidebar. Skip to end of sidebar.
End of sidebar. Return to start of sidebar.
But despite the hosts' attempts to hose down the leak, it has ignited tensions that were not expected to spark until the top-level leaders segment of the talks next week.
Despite all the controversy, the draft “Copenhagen Agreement” contains many elements of a strong political deal, although it leaves blank critical emission reduction commitments and the amounts to be paid into new funding for developing countries for final determination.

This is only part of the report.
As we all can see from this it is not going to be an easy task for the world leaders. We can only hope that before the meeting ends they agree on something useful, which could help achieve at least part of the problem?

Anyhow, this is what we are going to say in this post, but in the future we will continue to review and edit our previous post, so that once we have finished updating them, we will be able to continue on this subject and what is happening at the present time.

My new way of thinking

THIS BLOG HAS BEEN OPENED TO HOUSE ALL SORTS OF ISSUES ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGES, IT IS OPEN ALSO FOR DISCUSSION TO THE PUBLIC, SO ANYBODY CAN COMMENT ON IT, IF AND WHEN THEY HAVE SOMETHING USEFUL TO SAY.
-
Welcome to our blog of Mother Nature warning
and this post, my new way of thinking
-

New way of thinking

Dear readers, it has been a while since I posted in this blog of Mother Nature challenge, but now I would like to resume my activities and write some more articles about these issues; I know that sometimes we the people behave in a strange way and so do I; Anyhow, strange as it may seem, when people have nothing much to say to each other, they talk about the weather, but when it is necessary to talk about the weather, because the weather is causing problems in the entire world, they just keep postponing those discussions indefinitely; the point that I would like to make here is that we need to discuss a lot more about the weather problems; because every time that something terrible happens we want to do something about it, a while ago I started to write this blog, I have always the intention of writing something about the climatic change that is taking place in the world, now because I want to do that, I am looking for news that would serve to highlight this issue. So today I have found in the news this article about this cyclone in the Philippines, here under is a photo that shows some people straggling to save themselves.

Here under is the report that I found on the internet and I quote;

CABANATUAN, Philippines (AP) — Army, police and civilian volunteers rushed Monday to rescue hundreds of villagers trapped in their flooded homes and on rooftops in a northern Philippine province battered by slow-moving Typhoon Koppu, officials said.

The typhoon blew ashore into northeastern Aurora province early Sunday, leaving at least 11 dead, forcing more than 65,000 villagers from their homes, and leaving nine provinces without electricity. By Monday afternoon, Koppu had weakened into a tropical storm over Ilocos Norte province with winds of 105 kilometers (65 miles) per hour and gusts of up to 135 kph (84 mph).
Several of the affected provinces, led by Nueva Ecija, were inundated by floods that swelled rivers and cascaded down mountains, trapping villagers in their homes, said Nigel Lontoc of the Office of Civil Defense.
"There were people who got trapped by the flood on their roofs, some were rescued already," Vice Mayor Henry Velarde of Nueva Ecija's Jaen town told The Associated Press by telephone, adding that about 80 percent of 27 villages in his farming town of more than 45,000 people were inundated by flood.

When a flooded river swamped the villages, residents scrambled to safety but many failed to save their poultry and farm animals. Out of more than 5,000 ducks, for example, only about 1,000 were saved and many rice crops ready to be harvested in a few weeks turned into a muddy waste, he said.

"Our rice farms looked like it was ran over by a giant flat iron," Velarde said. "All the rice stalks were flattened in one direction."

Hundreds of soldiers, police and volunteers have converged on Nueva Ecija, a landlocked, rice-growing province in the heart of Luzon island, to help villagers whose homes had been flooded, said Lontoc.
Erwin Jacinto, a 37-year-old resident of Nueva Ecija's Santa Rosa town, said the flooding turned his farmland into "nothing but mud."
Jacinto spoke from atop a high bridge where dozens of farmers stayed in the open overnight with their families, and their pigs, goats and chickens.

At least 11 people have died. One man was buried by a landslide while checking his farm on Sunday in the mountain town of Bakun in Benguet province. Two men drowned in Nueva Ecija, while a 14-year-old boy was killed when a tree branch fell on his family's shanty in suburban Quezon city in metropolitan Manila.

Seven people died when a passenger motorboat capsized in bad weather in the central Philippines, but the government's disaster-response agency has not included the deaths in the typhoon toll because the central region was not directly affected by the storm.

President Benigno Aquino III, who flew to Nueva Ecija to check the flooding and distribute food packs in an emergency shelter, said the typhoon's unusually slow speed allowed it to batter the north for about three days instead of just a few hours.

Rain dumped by the typhoon in the north may rampage through rivers late Monday to Tuesday and put at risk about 800 downstream villages, where residents have been urged not to return home. "They think it is safe already to go back to their communities but we are preventing them right now," Aquino told reporters.

Koppu, Japanese for "cup," is the 12th storm this year to hit the Philippines, which averages 20 storms and typhoons each year.

In 2013, Typhoon Haiyan leveled entire towns in the central Philippines and left more than 7,300 people dead or missing.

Associated Press writers Jim Gomez, Teresa Cerojano and Oliver Teves in Manila contributed to this report.

End of Quote;

Anyhow, what I would like to point out here is that we need to keep in mind these world problems that the expert say they arise from global warming, therefore we need to talk about them more often, in the hope that one day we may find a solution.

I believe that I have said enough in this post, so see you in our next post when I find time to write it.

What is climatic change?

THIS BLOG HAS BEEN OPENED TO HOUSE ALL SORTS OF ISSUES ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGES, IT IS OPEN ALSO FOR DISCUSSION TO THE PUBLIC, SO ANYBODY CAN COMMENT ON IT, IF AND WHEN THEY HAVE SOMETHING USEFUL TO SAY.
-
Welcome to out blog, nature warning
and this post, what is climatic change.
-

This shows you what we are talking about
-

What is climatic change?

Here we would like to point out that we have pointed this out a while ago, but today we are going to repeat it, because we feel that very few people seem to know the danger that we are facing.

It seems to me that we still do not know what to do to take care of our planet earth, so these questions arise: What is climate change? What are today's problems? Let us look at them?
-
What are today's problems?
What is climate change?
-
Climate change is the greatest threat facing our planet. Humans are causing climate change, and humans can stop it getting worse. We can keep our planet healthy for future generations by acting on climate change now.
What’s causing the problem?
Humans are causing climate change by adding huge amounts of carbon dioxide (C02) and other greenhouse polluting gases to our atmosphere. The biggest source of greenhouse pollution is burning fossil fuels (like coal and oil) for energy.

Why is the planet warming?
Earth is wrapped in a delicately balanced ‘blanket’ of gases. Like a greenhouse in a garden, this insulating layer traps heat from the sun, and sustains life.
Human activities (like burning coal and oil) are adding huge amounts of greenhouse pollution to the atmosphere. The pollution stays in the atmosphere for many decades. Greenhouse pollution is making Earth’s ‘blanket’ unnaturally thick, and this is heating up the planet. This is commonly called global warming. The heat trap is also causing many unusual and dangerous changes to our climate and weather systems, best described as climate change.

Climate change and you
Australia is particularly vulnerable to climate change – environmentally and economically. We already live on the driest inhabited continent on earth. Climate change is making most of Australia drier. We are already experiencing more severe droughts in the bush, and water shortages in our cities.
Climate change is bad for our economy, and bad for our individual hip-pockets. In 2009, Victoria faced some of the worst Bushfires on record. Professor David Karoly from the University of Melbourne’s School of Earth Sciences discusses how the record heatwaves and prolonged drought prior to the February 2009 bushfires in Victoria could be linked directly to climate change.
We can stop climate change, but only by making major reductions in the amount of greenhouse pollution we create. To cut pollution, we need to drastically change the way we use and produce energy.
Individuals, businesses and governments need to become much more energy efficient and stop wasting energy. And we need to move to clean, renewable sources of energy.
Renewable energy is available now, safe for the environment and good for our economy. By dealing with climate change, we can make Australia a world leader in renewable energy and create thousands of jobs and new exports.

Concerned citizen views

THIS BLOG HAS BEEN OPENED TO HOUSE ALL SORTS OF ISSUES ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGES, IT IS OPEN ALSO FOR DISCUSSION TO THE PUBLIC, SO ANYBODY CAN COMMENT ON IT, IF AND WHEN THEY HAVE SOMETHING USEFUL TO SAY.
-
Welcome to our blog, nature warning
and this post, Concerned citizen views
-

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

Concerned citizen views

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?

www.climatechange.gov.au/

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?

Modern exodus

A boatload of people coming from North Africa to Italy, they also go to other European countries. This seems a modern exodus when lots of people move from one country to another. The question here arises: Could it be that the climate change has made this happen, because their countries are becoming poor.

Modern exodus

Dear readers, looking at what is happening today, there are reasons to believe that this modern exodus that we are witnessing today could be linked to global warming. Some of you may argue that the press dose not report this as the cause, but we suspect that it could be, because there are just too many people that move from their native land. Therefore there must be a widespread cause that makes these people want to move; anyhow let us just look at what is happening today.

The Italian Navy warns of “Biblical exodus” from North Africa to Italy and other European countries through the Mediterranean Sea.

The entire world should not talk about Italy not doing enough, because they need first to look at what is really happening; and then if they want come and give a hand to help the Italian that are doing what they could. What is happening has been described that it resembles a biblical exodus; Admiral. Giuseppe De Georgi said that his ship has recued 18,546 illegal migrant, since October 2013 after the death of 364 migrant when their bout caught fire last October. Early in April 1014- four thousand migrant were rescued in 24 hours; it is believed that there are 600,000 migrant preparing to sail from Africa to Italy and other country around the Mediterranean Sea. So, the Italian are doing what they can.

To have a better picture of what is happening here are a couple of links and some photos to show you what we mean;

Italy calls for EU help as it pulls 4000 migrants from sea in 48 hours

09 April 2014

· 1,000 migrants rescued off Italian coast in 24 hours

03 Jan 2014

Now if you have been able to open the links and have read their article content, then you will know that it is an enormous problem, and that the Italians alone cannot solve it, the entire world needs to step in and try to solve this world wide problem. It is my humble opinion that no country should be left alone in cases like these.

Today it seems that Italy is the preferred place for these refugees, tomorrow it can be somewhere else; now, we say refugees because some of them are real refugees, but we feel that there is a lot of them that just run around the world to find a better life for themselves and they don’t care at all if in the process they inflict damage to the rest of the world peaceful communities. One has to look at what is happening in Rome to see what we are talking about.

------------------------------------

Now, let us leave behind the Italian problem just for the sake of talking about the reasons why we are writing this blog about Mother Nature warning; therefore what we want to say in this post is this; we want to say that there could be a different cause that makes these people move from their mother land, now the only other cause that we can see is global warming, you see global warming has make their lands poor and they fight each other to survive; this is making things worse and in the end they want to leave their country to find a new life. Well at least this is the way we see it.

This is all that we want to say today, see you later on when we find something else to talk about global warming or other natural problems that affect Mother Nature.
