Greenhouse Denial

The Global Warming issue is becoming more irritating by time. I've posted a blog article about "Global Warming" some time ago, and I was hoping that I was wrong about my doubts and fears. This could be simply considered as "Global Warming ii" article.

Earth is getting older and people just don't seem to care about slowing that procedure down. Many people not only do nothing about it, but also live in denial of the greenhouse effect on earth.

This blog post neither explains scientific facts nor shows any statistics about global warming, but the main purpose is to try to find a way to assure a better future for our children and grandchildren.

The solution to the greenhouse denial is not known for me, but what should be done, in my opinion, is that people should wake up and start caring. Caring is not that hard, it doesn't need any kind of changing one's lifestyle; it is simply done by reducing the amount of excessive use of whatsoever increases the greenhouse effect.

A fact: Within the past century, the length of the heat wave in Europe has doubled and thir frequency nearly tripled.

I do not like to know how life is going to be, if there would be any, a century ahead.

Global Warming

Some days ago, I turned on the TV and there was Dr. Zaghloul Al-Naggar on a video conference with Al-Jazeera channel. The only thing that was brought to my attention is how afflicted he was and later i realized why he had been this sad, worried and somewhat desperate. It is enough to listen to his last sentence to understand.
The sentence is nearly translated to: "people should start considering walking, riding bicycles or even animals"
This amazing, blessed, modern muslim geologist is talking about riding animals and he hasn't lost his mind yet, if that's what you are thinking of. He is simply concerned about the pollution and the increase in global warming these days. When he was asked about the global warming and the greenhouse effect and if there are any indications of an incoming disaster, he stated that we should expect a disaster in a 10-years period of time and even the end of the world within this century.
THE END OF THE WORLD!! .. Yes, it is this serious. I won't write about the effect of global warming or how it is happening; I wont even talk about the Ozone, because we all know about it, and we notice those changes one year after another. There is one more thing I need to mention; Dr. Zaghloul didn't do a research and come up with those words; scientists allover the world have been concerned about this problem for some time and they realized the danger of pollution some years ago.

Facts:

1. A leading New Zealand scientist warned in january 2004 that global warming would make large areas of the world uninhabitable by the end of the century unless the international community co-operated to solve the problem.
2. January 2005, 200 of the world's leading climate scientists - meeting at Tony Blair's request at the Met Office's new headquarters at Exeter - issued the most urgent warning to date that dangerous climate change is taking place, and that time is running out.
3. Antarctic scientists have found the first direct evidence linking the collapse of an ice shelf the size of Luxemburg in Antarctica to global warming.

So, what are we going to do about that? I don't really know, but I am positive that people won't take an action to change this; I know it because of my experience in trying to change something. I was trying to reduce my usage of car by riding the bike to near places or even running and found out it is impossible in a city like cairo to do so. Why impossible? it's not the topic of this blog ;) .. Just PLEASE prove me wrong and lets do something to change.
