What is Happening Right Now?

The days are getting much hotter very quickly. The winters are getting colder, and there are more natural disasters such as Tsunamis, Hurricanes, Tornados, etc, happening with greater frequency all around the world. As a young child, I used to be able to stay outside all day. Today, if you stay outside in the summer too long, you will die. Texas usually doesn’t freeze over, but snowfall and icy roads have been a norm every winter now for the past three or so years. The power grid even went out because it was freezing over in more places than expected and people were using more power to stay warm. This left a large number of people without electricity which caused many people to die, over 200 just in Texas alone. Texas has its own power grid and is regulated by the state. Officials were warned about the failure very early on and multiple times. They chose to do nothing to fix the grid in order to save money, as if they do not have enough already. They are solely responsible for those who lost their lives during the storm.

Do Not Look Away…

In order to change the outcome of this global warming crisis, we need to understand and look at who benefits from this destruction of the natural balance of the world, and we need to look hard and long and with a really angry mean face and clenched fist. And then we need to force change. The corporations that run the world are running it into a fiery inferno seething with greed. As it is, It is commonly known that the maximum temperature at which humans can survive is 108.14-degree Fahrenheit or 42.3-degree Celsius. A higher temperature may denature proteins and cause irreparable damage to the brain. In this future environment, humans will either collapse from heat stroke or freeze to death within about 10 minutes of stepping outside, or they will be drowned by rising water levels and great tsunamis. It is predicted to be an “untold suffering”-as described by the worlds leading climate scientists.

Untold Suffering- The Last Chapter

In a 2019 report from Environment Editor Damian Carrington, 11,000 of the worlds leading climate scientists warn of an untold suffering. “To secure a sustainable future, we must change how we live. [This] entails major transformations in the ways our global society functions and interacts with natural ecosystems.” And it also means changing our energy sources because the longer that we rely on fossil fuels for the majority or our energy and fuel, the more we cause irreversible damage. Scientists say “The climate crisis has arrived and is accelerating faster than most scientists expected. It is more severe than anticipated, threatening natural ecosystems and the fate of humanity.” The article goes on to say that despite 40 years of global climate negotiations, governments both federal and state have failed to enforce regulations in exchange for more profit, thus allowing the earths wound to stay unhealed and fresh. These climate chain reactions will cause significant disruptions to ecosystems society and even economics, potentially making large areas of earth uninhabitable. If we do not change now, there may not be a later.

The Last Stand – Chapter X

Many fear that the powerful will send us back to the stone age because we just do not know exactly how harsh the effects of climate change will be, and it is certainly a cause for distress especially since these effects are happening way sooner than scientists predicted. We need to do everything now in order to save the human race! This sounds like the beginning to a science fiction thriller, sadly it is reality, and it may be the end. Ninety companies control the world and are responsible for 2/3 of the worlds man made global warming emissions. Chevron, Exxon and BP are among the most responsible since the dawn of the industrial age, just to name a few. Money is their super power and greed reaches deeply into the soul of cowards. These corporations have proven that they will stop at nothing, even though those affected are not just Americans but people all over the world. There were laws put in place that made logging in other countries illegal but they are not always enforced and there should be stricter laws put in place to severely decrease the amount of logging done all over the world. Climate scientists have already warned governments and corporations about the crisis but it has been futile. We the normal citizens need to take it into our own hands. Everyone needs to strongly urge others to go grassroots, door to door, bringing attention to the matter. We need to strongly urge policymakers and those on the local, state, and federal levels of government to implement real changes, before it is too late.
