Sure we have been talking about global warming, thinning of the ozone layer, climate change, melting of the snowcaps and other things that are too scary to think about if they happen. These are things that we take for granted most of time. We fail to realize that it is indeed something that we should take seriously. Living in a third world country this concern has not been given that much attention. We tend to ignore the deafening campaigns of the more developed countries to do something about global warming.
Well I guess its time we do something about it. For the months weeks it has been raining so hard here in our city. It’s like we have been hit by a typhoon or something because the wind is also very strong. Of course we expected it already because the rainy season here in our country usually starts in June but the thing is the rain already started pouring down since May. It is quite obvious that we are already experiencing a climate change. What I am most concerned about is the very hot weather that we have been experiencing for the past few days. I know that we are a tropical country and it is quite normal to experience hot days but the heat now is different. It seeps into your skin. It’s like we are inside an oven. It scares me, because now I realize that we are really experiencing global warming. Climate change is already very evident nowadays. Whenever I go to Manila I always complain to very hot weather that they have there. The heat there is quite different from what we experience here, of course we do still have trees here and we are not in the middle of a concrete forest but what we experienced lately really gave made me realize that if we do not do something about our planet, if we do not go out of our way to stop and if possible repair the damage that we have done I am not going to be surprised if a few years from now we will have the climate of Africa.
