Changing Weathers

They say that our weather is changing due to green house effect. But our weather naturally by itself is changing through time. Earth has gone from ice age to ice age, moved from dinosaur age to medieval age to renaissance to industrialization to modernization. Earth has aged gracefully, whether we know it or not. Whatever era it is, Earth continues to live. Through natural disasters and man made ones.

Another changing weather is our selves. I am one big climate change. I can be sunny, happy and worry-free one moment, weepy and torrential the next. Seasons change around us and in us. We have our ups and our downs. And these changes can come slowly or rapidly. Nonetheless, I note the changes and its warnings. Like the last 2 days. The sun is shining and then suddenly the sky darkens and it starts to rain.

People talk about weather control and self control. I say it is natural. Some people get angry and abusive, I get teary and weep in situations.

So I say Let it be. Of course, we must all try to do what we can to save the environment. Use less paper so that less trees need to be chopped down. Compost so that there is less kitchen waste. Buy less so that less things need to be produced, less carbon material needs to be burnt. Buy enough to use, not to waste.

Some people like to buy stuff to decorate their homes. I say less is best. The more stuff we buy, the more the manufacturers need to produce, the more land needs to be cleared, the more industrial effluents are produced, the more pollution there is. The more people Earth has, the more cars, the more houses, the more things, the more food, the more problems.

So what with climate change? People need to make that change first.
