WILL GLOBAL WARMING CAUSE ANOTHER NOAH’S FLOOD?

By Arthur Zulu

Man is a very clever animal. For example, he is only one who knows that world will end someday, and worries about it. And he is only creature that can create anything out of a useless thing like ice.

Now, let’s imagine ourselves in a man-made ice theater-- floor, roof, and all. We are sitting on chairs made of ice; drinking beer from glasses (made of ice of course), and we are about to watch a play.

What is play about? The actor, (of course flesh and blood) is going to enter into a mighty cooking pot made of ice. Then he will be covered; and giant ice cooking pot, suspended by equally giant tripods (made of ice too), is to be heated by a gigantic fire.

As we spectators watch to see what happens to actor, we observe that first, iced floor begins to crack as a result of fire. Then pot begins to melt, and before we know it, ice-made glasses on our hands, also begin to melt as a result of heat.

Suddenly, roof of heated ice theater begins to give way and collapse on our heads, and before long, we find ourselves swimming in an ocean of water. So, we spectators become actors; and birds and all sorts of flying things, become spectators!

But wait. This is not a play. It is real, and very soon where once used to be our houses, might well become an ocean, and we all will be swimming for our lives! And if you live in a coastal city, say New York, London, or Cape Town; you had better start making your ark for another Noah’s flood. But how, you may ask, will this come about?

Over decades, man has turned up global thermostat through emission of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. This has caused climatic upheavals (heavy rain, drought, superkiller winds), and health hazard (skin cancer).

HOW GREENHOUSE GASES WILL DESTROY THE EARTH.

By Arthur Zulu

Death came swiftly for Great Julius Caesar on his way to capitol. And one of his murderers? Brutus, a trusted friend!

If you talk of betrayals, more bizarre things have happened. For even Agamemon -- conqueror of lands and of mighty men, was killed by his own wife!

But pity neither Caesar, nor Agamemon. For your best riends are this moment betraying you. They have dug your grave, made out your coffin and are preparing to announce your obituary, even while you are still alive!

But hold on before you dispatch hired assassins to good old Billy, or faithful Penelope, and end up in dock for first-degree murder. Who are these friends?

They are greenhouse gases. Now, try this experiment. Find a hot corner of street, park your car there, and shut yourself inside with windows closed. How do you find experience?

The car will be terribly hot because while transparent glass lets sun’s rays in, it cannot let out dangerous invisible infrared radiation. You will be killing yourself!

The same story proves true for earth’s atmosphere which acts like glass in a greenhouse. It traps sun’s heat thereby warming earth. Without it, earth orbiting in cold, empty space, would freeze!

But too much of a good thing is bad. The greenhouse gases -- our friends which make us warm, are turning into our enemies. Let’s see their dubious roles.

WATER VAPOR As our friend, it absorbs heat. But as our enemy it cooperates with other gases to sound our death knell.
