Just like previous year, I take part in Blog Action Day (there is a badge in the sidebar, just click as it costs nothing than a mouse click). This year’s theme is to fight climate change.
Even though I never believe doomsday will arrive at 2012, yet I am confident that human doom will arrive soon, maybe not in our generation but next.
You may ask WTH is the number 350 above represents. It should not be number of days in a year, as 365 or 366 are the numbers. If you do concern on environmental issues, specifically on global warming, you will realise that 350 is the scientific number provided the safe carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere, which is 350 ppm.
I am sure all of you, may feel the change in our climate at the least. You can ask people from Pacific countries about their homeland - islands are being conquered by the rising sea level from day to day. Five years ago, I still know that monsoon wind that blows across Malaysia is between April and September, and between December and March. Yet years later, I realise that monsoon did not come on time anymore. It was dry during Chinese New Year season, but these few years we sometimes drenched in the rain.
Lets look across the world. Dry places become crier, and wet places become wetter. Within these two months alone, how many countries have been devastated by flood? How many countries have been swept by typhoon?
Maybe you already donated to the victims, but are you ready for a long term fight?
