Glacier Recession
We have heard of many kind of recessions. But the upcoming one
could be of a new type. Actually this is being presented in a new form. It is
the ‘Glacier recession’.
How this is going to happen is simply put, world countries
burnt a lot of items to get energy, to enjoy. The world was not conservative.
No more people cared about others (but a lot of love shared through facebook, and
does not translate to reducing global warming). Globe got heated beyond a point
and ice in the Arctic melted. The fissures protecting methane gas opened. A lot
of methane blew out. Increased global temperature.
To have a look at an official version of this idea go through

Now let us see how the impact is going to be. The climatic
change, which is actually anthropogenic (due to our human activity), leads
to destruction, and leads to economic instability.
These melting glaciers make water level to raise and destroy
many production sites and farming lands and create health problems world over.
The total world GDP is estimated at approximately 80
trillion dollars. It means all together can produce this much. Details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)
The damage that could be caused due to the methane warming is
60 trillion dollars.
We are in a world where Wall Street giants are declaring
bankruptcy, EU is struggling to stabilize, and developing nations are suffering
from corruption. On top of this the glaciers are melting and water is raising,
oh no!
If you are sensitive, the problems seem to be overwhelming.
Agreed. So we will have to take it part by part and person by person. So the
actual problem can be solved. We have the resource, we are 7 billion people. Do
we have the will?
The impact is said to be major on developing and
underdeveloped nations. Logical, because these are the ones that don’t have
enough measures to counter floods and other calamities.
Look at how India managed the recent Uttrakhand floods.
There were many people dead and many were missing. All these were used as a
platform for the politicians to show their might or to talk about the
incapacity of the opposition. Both ways lives were at stake. Yes military did a
commendable job. For media it was the time to increase their market share,
through readership or viewership (TRP). The follow-up on issues has been as
usual. What will you ask them to follow, there are too many new news items,
every day.
If Uttrakhand, flood had such a devastation, think about the
impact the water raise could create in a country like India.
If the ‘Arctic time bomb’ blows then 60 trillion dollars are
gone, from the developing and underdeveloped countries initially. Then, it will
catch up the developed nations also too. Economically the world would be dead.
Few countries may survive. They need not be the richest, but
may be the fittest (may be the happiest country).
Ok now how this relates to you personally. In many ways. You
are a component of this world, in many ways. There could be a gap in realizing
that.
If you are not aware that this can happen, then you can be
happy till it happens. Or become aware and start acting.
Spread awareness.
You have been responsible for global warming (directly or
watching someone heating the globe)
Try to protect your family and generations. The pain may not
be realizable when you think it is going to happen to someone somewhere or to
someone after many generations.
We feel the pain when it happens to a person closer or
within the generation that you can see. Whether you see it or not the pain is
the same. So why not create a better world for us and others?
Assume that you will start feeling the pain and impact of
whatever happens to anybody in the world. Do you think you can bare it?
Assume that even after your worldly life you will feel the
pain of your generations, struggling in a hot dirty earth. If you know you will
live but without your physical body and will have feelings and emotions, for a
thousand years, will you not create a better world today?
Did anyone give you a guarantee of that you will not have feelings
after this bodily, worldly life?
Create a better world for us.
Thol. The SaintLeader.
