Climate Change: How do we deal with it?

I just came from a forum discussing climate change. For years, I have been exposed to the issues on climate change introduced by our college professors. Many might say that they know what climate change really is. And I must also admit that I assumed I knew what I needed to know about climate change and I was mistaken. I have so many catching ups to do. I think I was the youngest there and yet they(the group) also thinks that for years of studying climate change of more than a decade or so, they still need to catch up with it. Hmmmnnnn...

While I was there at the forum, I was bombarded with issues concerning climate change, an inter-connected issue that dwells within a bigger arena, the world. I cannot say that I am a person who knows anything about climate change. I am just beginning to have a grasp again on the issue. I am just a single person who wants to understand the true issues concerning this hype.

Yes...a hype to many but a serious problem to some groups of people who believes that it needs to be addressed as soon as possible. Having a mere peek at climate change, I was motivated to look much closer on the topic. I, personally, have this inkling that climate change is not just a minuscule problem that most people view it as such. CLIMATE CHANGE can surely change the way how we live. We must be aware and be obligated to walk, talk and act in support of all advocacy that are pointing towards the prevention of the effects we get from climate change. Climate change is not new, it was just ignored most of the time and now we are in the midst of its consequences.

Are you aware of the issues as an individual? Is it just the mere fact of knowing the term Climate Change per se? Are your notions on climate change really explains and answers your questions and observations on what were and are happening around you?

Think about it...Do we want a world that caters to our needs as a biological being that are coming from the ecological part? or a world that gives us the material things that can provide us an easy life like technologies but are having harmful effects to our planet? Can you be a person that supports a true/genuine sustainable development? Can you as a person help in bringing down the carbon footprints that are emitted to the atmosphere? Do you believe that this global economic crisis has something to do or connected in a way with climate change?

Then, start with yourself, act now and be aware that YOU can make a CHANGE to rehabilitate our Planet Earth. I am not trying to convince you but I am motivating you to think and re-think. Living in this planet is not just for ourselves, we are not the only privileged ones. Be obligated to think that we have to live with other organisms. We are not the only one dwelling in this planet and the point is, planet Earth is the only planet that we can rely on and we should take care of it.

Look around you. Open your eyes and your mind. Are you complaining about sudden changes of weather conditions, temperatures, depletion of resources?...Stop complaining! Start your emancipation. Try opening you eyes and mind then you'll see and realize that this world needs YOU!
