Can this get any hotter?

Did you ever experienced going out of your house at 8 o’clock in the morning; check out your watch for the second time because you are already feeling a mid-afternoon sun hitting every inch of your bare skin? If yes, then you just experienced the effects of El Niño together with the worsening condition of our ozone.
We are experiencing an extremely hot weather this time. It’s the effect of the El Niño phenomenon hitting the Southeast Asia. The name El Niño is a Spanish word for “the child,” refers to the infant Jesus Christ and is applied because of the current that lead up to the phenomenon, usually begins during the Christmas season. In short scientific description, El Niño happens when easterly trade winds collapse or even reverse its direction. Thus brings heavy rains to South America and can cause droughts in southeastern Asia. Because of this, more serious problems rise up like shortage of water and destruction of crops that can cause a sudden fall in our country’s economy.
This extremely hot weather we are experiencing right now is not only because of El Niño. The phenomenon can be a part of it but what makes it worse is the “never-ending” issue of global warming. Something people are familiar with but not given much attention. The global warming issue had been the center of numerous debates among industrialist and environmentalist for so long. Yet, no absolute resolution among the two had been made. Although a lot of green projects and advocacies were created to counteract it, still no conceivable improvement happened. In fact, our ozone layer is getting thinner and its effect on human is getting more alarming.
On the other hand, we had to adhere on the fact that improvement entails sacrifices. For a country to be more industrially advanced and competitive, natural resources are to be compromised. At the end of the day, it is our choice of priority that determines our fate. This extremely hot condition we are experiencing can be an understatement ten years from now. This is not a warning, just a realization.
After all, Mother Earth do not need us, it is us who need her.

Another article about global warming.
Another article which tries to persuade people to save mother Earth because of obvious reasons.
Another article which shows reality.
For me, I think Mother Earth is going to die soon.
And I think that we have nothing to do with it rather than to prolong her life I guess.
You see, the problem, I believe, does not only root from the industries excreting chemicals and “stuff” contributing to global warming. According to a book I have read about weird stuff happening in the planet, the main air pollutant is Methane, and this chemical greatly comes from the cows and cattle that we have in the farms and fields. Of course, we could not kill all these animals because we too, produce this type o chemical.
My point is, Mother nature is going to die, because no matter what we do, we are killing her, it’s up to us to prolong her life if we want to.
