“TRUTH CLAIMS: A WARMING WORLD”


“What gets us into trouble is not what we don’t know. It’s what we know for sure that just ain’t so.”
-Mark Twain


We hear it everywhere. Catastrophic Global Warming is a fact. It is here. It is now unstoppable. And we are not to question God of this catastrophic global warming but rather we gonna question ourselves. When will people wake up? Even more importantly, it goes to show why we should care that global warming is occurring. Well in fact, looking deeper into history reveals that global warming and cooling are simply a regular occurrence.

The documentary is an eye opener and also a wake up call for me. I have heard about global warming before, probably back in grade school but I knew a little about it or I only knew the meaning of the term global warming. I’d heard a lot of information about this being a myth and since the time I viewed the film I’d clearly understand with many shown independent pieces of evidences. The documentary gave me a deeper understanding of what global warming really is and what will be the consequences if we do not do something about it. The way the documentary is presented is very effective. Al Gore defined and described global warming in a way a non-science-loving-environmentalist would understand. For the information and for the sake of everybody, I urge everyone to see this film and for sure you will not regret it because the film offers us ways, big and small, to help reverse global warming’s effects right now.

What is the solution of this Global Warming? If appropriate actions are taken soon, the effects of global warming can be successfully reversed by releasing less CO2 and planting more vegetation to consume existing CO2. So we should plant more tress. Small changes to our daily routine can add up to big differences in helping to stop global warming. Another solution is to buy recycled paper products because it takes less energy and it prevents the loss of forests worldwide. In general, we can stop this through reduce, reuse and recycle. I believe this is a moral issue for us and it is our time to seize this issue. It is our time to rise again to secure the better future.

Everything that has ever happened in all of human history, all the triumphs and all the tragedies, all the wars all the famines, all the major advances had ruined our world. And that is what we should think of. Our right to live on our planet Earth which is our only home has became destroyed and had been damaged. Do we not get depressed about all these state of affairs and be in despair with the condition of our world now? If the warming continues, we can expect catastrophic consequences. The earth’s coastlines will be flooded and it can affect about ten millions of people, it will increase the strength and frequency of hurricanes and tornadoes. The ice sheets at the poles are melting and it will kill species from polar bears to birds. The deserts are starting to burn. And, of course, the sky provides no shelter. A biblical proportion threatens not just our weather but life itself. Global warming is upon us. There is no doubt we can solve this problem. In fact, we have a moral obligation to do so. The time to come together to solve this problem is now. Take an action.

We should help one another to stop this mysterious consequence we are facing of. We are the cause, therefore we are responsible to look for the solution of this and that if we are responsible enough because supposed to be we are reliable to this issue. As what the motto of Argao stated: “If you are not part of the cure, then you are part of the problem.” Yes, this is really true. When God had created in the first six day of His creation, all of these things around us are just merely unblemished. As the time goes by, humans slowly devastated this creation of Him. So we are very questionable about this. Look! Haven’t we realized until now? But until when? Until when all these things will be fade? Should we wait for the time when it’s too late? Future generations may well have occasion to ask themselves, “What were our parents thinking? Why didn’t they wake up when they had a chance?” We have to hear that question from them now. This is our chance to change everything of what we had ruined to our Mother Earth. We are created and placed here in the world not to destroy but to become steward to His creation.
