It seems to me that this week the world has told us something, and that is to stop taking it for granted.
The earthquakes in Samoa and Sumatra, followed by Tsunami’s all across the Pacific, could be a warning to us to clean our act up i.e. reduce carbon emissions to the atmosphere.
We heard that environmental experts have said that the Antarctic sea is turning into acid due to greater concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Which means that more of the gas becomes dissolved in the seawater, increasing its acidity.
If we don’t stop polluting the world, then the sea will form into acid.
The world economies discuss the ‘Green Effect’, but worryingly enough they cannot reduce carbon emissions by too much as it will affect trade between countries.
To my mind we have to save the world first and worry about trade agreements later, however our highly paid politicians think differently. If we don’t do anything about it then there won’t be any trade to do anyway.
On happier notes the clocks went forward, and there are lighter evenings. It feels nicer, and summer is on the way.
And as they say ‘Tomorrow is another day’. I hope we can say that for a long time yet.
