Down to Earth

Hmm.... a simple drawing by a simple guy... i like things simple... i like them easy on the mind... the simplest things are usually the hardest to produce... simple?... its more than that...

Well, its green week.. and i went to watch the movie by al gore about global warming... it was screened at my lecture theatre and i tot it might be interesting... 'an inconvenient truth'... and it was frightening... i was shocked at the severity of it... so severe that it reminded me about revelations... about the end times... i always held that global warming was over-rated... that the earth is much more resilient than wat 'dooms-day' environmentalist want us to believe... i was wrong... so wrong... when someone gives u a statistic and then gives the scientific scource of that statistic... it is hard to discredit it... looking at pictures of glaciers that we used to have 20 years ago... looking at how much antartica shrank in the last 30 years... well... all i can say is that the guy who was the next u.s. president... hit home the message...

perhaps its time to start recycling... put aside dreams of owning big luxurious cars... maybe i should take up the green technology module is year 3... maybe i (we) should really spread the message... our future is at stake... no less...

more importantly... there is still hope... remember about CFCs and the Montreal Protocol?? well... 17 years down the road... the ozone is no longer enlarging... and we are starting to see signs of it returning to pre-1970 conditions... which is great news...

well... we already hold the technologies to reduce CO2 emmisions... whats lacking is the moral and political will to do so... the kyoto protocol is not good enough... we as civilised beings must endorse green technology... and disencourage dirty technology... please throw away that suv... protest against irresponsible coal power plants... Afterall, is it really that hard to use public transport??... to build wind trubines and solar cells??... to use energy saving bulbs and turn off the lights when not needed?? we can do our part... earth is our only home... treat it like one...
