What if
former wins out and
polar ice begins a Great meltdown. It has been melting for decades, and several bodies of water have been forming at
Arctic and
Antarctica. And so what?
If you live in Alaska, you will now understand why memorial crosses are collapsing on
tombs in your local cemeteries while
tombs themselves are yawning and displaying their bowels. And you will know why your house is sinking or slanting at a terrible angle, and why your country roads are cracking up.
Even
animals are perplexed as they roam into unexpected lakes (where once used to be ice), and grasslands (where forests once stood). So
marooned polar bear gazing helplessly at
equally marooned countryman knows that
ground on which they are standing is playing games.
Just in case you are skeptical of
global warming trend, you could do one of two things: Find out why ivory gulls are now soaring in
Arctic,
land of polar bears. Or look up down under and say what caused
gaping holes in Australia.
Yes, there are difficulties in predicting
Greenhouse effect. This is as a result of
roles of some elements --melting ice and snow, clouds,
oceans, volcanoes and solar cycles -- in
heating and cooling process of
earth.
But that does not mean that we should take
warming trend as natural, or for granted, because a major climatic change may soon come. Why wouldn’t it come when we continue to burn gasoline and coal without check. Dump
Rio Summit! Forget
Kyoto Protocol! Who cares if a global flood is coming. Let Holland sink. And let Bangladesh go under water. We will all swim!
But not to worry; it may not happen now. It may be
lot of your great great grandchildren, perhaps when
earth had hit 15 or 20 billion. And
little children may find it funny after all.
Imagine 15 or 20 billion dancing boats, with their occupants waving multi - colored farewell flags on a global ocean. Like a carnival. What a way to exit
planet --
boats become floating coffins; and
ocean their watery graves!
