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!

METHANE As our friend, this natural gas is as useful as carbon dioxide. But it has turned into an enemy because we have produced twice as much as we need, and excess is making it impossible for atmosphere to disintegrate other dangerous gases.

CFCs As our friend, when chlorofluorocarbons are in lower atmosphere, they are efficient heat absorbers. But when they rise up, they become our enemies because they go to destroy earth’s protective umbrella, ozone.

NITROUS OXIDE As our friend, this laughing gas like CFCs absorbs heat when it is in lower atmosphere. But when it goes up, it destroys ozone.

OZONE This gas is our friend when it is in high atmosphere where it filters deadly ultraviolet radiation, cause of skin cancer. But when it comes down, it becomes our enemy.

Since these greenhouse gases are being added into atmosphere daily from use of fossil fuel, how can danger of mass poisoning be avoided?

Well, Homo Sapien smart has already dreamed up solutions:

Man will harness solar power to replace conventional ones.

Man will invent clean burning hydrogen fuel in place of hazardous petroleum products.

Man will make a gigantic parasol to shield earth from sun’s dangerous rays.

Man will reforestate globe to suck up excess carbon dioxide.

Man will fire up giant laser rays to kill CFCs before they damage ozone.

Man will use solar power satellites to collect solar energy from space, and send it down as microwaves, or laser beams, for use in place of burning fossil fuels.

Man will …. That’s enough. Thank you man wise. Clap for yourself!

Let’s hope that you will fix greenhouse gases before they cover your grave!
