"So what! Our planet will warm up right?" The answer is YES... and there's plenty more you should know so you can know what to expect when we are in full fledged WARMING! Exciting times!

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1
First of all lets understand some of who we have to thank for giving us these killer sun tans and really warm days to come! Shall we?
And the rewards goes out to: Greenhouse Gases! Which includes-
(Chlorine and Bromine)Halo carbons responsible for depleting the Ozone.
Aerosol
Industrial Revolution- This powerful GO-GETTER/JOB GIVER has went as far back as the invention of the Steam Engine!!
Isostatic Land Movements
Land Use Change
Deforestation
Things that hurt the environment like oil spills, things like that!
Step2
Now lets look at the Pros and Cons of changing things to suit us.... shall we?
We will have PLENTY of wood for ANYTHING we WANT it for by taking out our forests. Eventually we can just simply hang a picture of THE FOREST in our homes and have the best of both worlds! Oh wait...we already do!
Step3
We wont have to worry about swatting those bugs that fly around us anymore since we have all of the chemical spray all over the lawn and in the air and on the crops that we eat. You won't even have to go outside eventually because the air will be so yucky and dangerous that you will get to purchase nice man-made oxygen to breathe inside your home! Isn't that wonderful?
Step4
You wont ever have to look at those unsightly out of control deadly and destructive weeds that grow along side of the road by your mailbox and around your home and fence areas anymore ..THANK GOODNESS since the weed killer chemicals we spray all over our ground takes right care of that problem! (Even though it gets back into our drinking water and goes into all of us, including, babies, wildlife, pets, and ourselves.) Small price to pay!
Step5
The higher latitude areas that are usually cold ...will become warmer and you know what that means! We will be warm and toasty pretty much all year around! Our heating costs will diminish! Tan! You can tan whenever the clouds decide to clear out. But you'll have to keep a precise eye on the weather channel for your tanning because the clouds are going to be so affected that many many more clouds will be created therefore blanketing the heat in.
Step6
Yes there will be some animals and people that will be killed in the process of hauling oil around from point A to point B and back to point A again from time to time .... but it's very important to take this oil from the Earth to utilize ...is it not?
Step7
Okay now let's look at the bad side!
The Sea level will rise.
We will have increasing floods, heat waves,avalanches,windstorms,and deaths.... just little things like that!
Step8
Okay but how will it affect us?
Agriculture(Food security) will decrease.
Water availability will decrease. But hey, who needs water and food?
It will affect forests, coastal zones, fisheries, human settlements, industry, insurance, financial services, and human health. No biggy!
Step9
What kind of physical changes can I expect to experience?
An increase in exposure to Vector borne and other water borne diseases. (What's a little bit of Malaria? We want tropical temperatures!!!!)
Heat stress-mortality increase.
Increased heat stress in livestock and wild life.
An extended range and activity of pests and disease.
Eventually the death of mankind.
Just a few small prices to pay for warm temps. And guess what ... It's just right around the corner!!!!
Step10
For those who just don't 'get it'...smell the sarcasm yet?
Everyday that goes by we sit and watch babies that are born deformed or sick, we watch deadly gases spew from the cars and delivery trucks in front of us at the stop lights, we sit and watch our loved ones die from terminal disease, we dump deadly chemicals into our earth, air, and water. We've all seen the pretty rainbows of oil on the wet blacktop as we walk through the store parking lot to our cars. All of the natural resources that are here that we need to survive...we are killing, and we, like those natural resources, and the animals are also becoming extinct as a result.
Step11
As of now the ozone resembles a very thin egg shell. There are chemicals such as Nitrogen Oxide released from motor exhausts from aircraft daily. The plume from each Chlorine injected Space shuttle launch causes holes in the atmosphere as well, which also leaves anywhere from 4 inches to 5,500 tons in size of man made orbital ruins right outside Earth. This space trash floats around us and has done so for 45 years, and is getting increasingly worse. (With no workable way to clean it up.) Some of which are left over fuel and high pressure fluids that sometimes falls back to Earth.
Step12
Every year during the Southern Hemisphere's spring, a very strong depletion of the Ozone layer takes place over the Antarctic Region called the Ozone Hole. We wake up every day and take care of our children and ourselves. Why didn't we take care of our environment that kept us alive and well? What will be left for our children?

Tips & Warnings

  • You are one person, however, if you make a difference, someone else will and so on. Humans can 'pack a wallop' . (Look at the destruction we've done.) We can use that same strength in a better way.
  • A man with power enough to try to move the Earth to suit him is a man who is a fool. Earth will survive man however man will not survive the Earth's wrath if he does not respect her. You can't stop running water.

on 1/30/2008 Blackbear, I am with you on this for sure! It is so heartbreaking to realize what we doing to Mother Earth and how little so many seem to care. Thanks so much for speaking out in her behalf!

on 1/30/2008 I went to the documentary and I also read the first article to it which was very "reader unfriendly"...it actually sent me in three directions. It's easy to find a string of scientists who can work hard to find some natural causes to global warming. (It can easily be blamed on something such as cow flatulence.) But it shouldn't take a team of scientists to figure out what's happening with the environment in which we live. It is quite obvious. Mankind is arrogant and foolish. Even a frog will not pee in the pond in which he lives.

on 1/18/2008 Thank you for writing this strong article! It makes me so sad to think about what kind of world our children and grandchildren are going to inherit. We don't need to spray those harmful chemicals all the time! Get a bat house on your property to help control the pests naturally and pick the weeds out of your garden/yard and add them to a compost pile!

on 1/18/2008 Very impressive. Didn't step on my toes! The more controversial the writing, the better vehicle it is for the message...a very important message. Thanks for having the guts to say what needs to be said. :)
