Understanding Could Save the
Earth
There are many things happening in the world due
to the weather phenomenon, El Nino. El Nino is the warming of the
water in the tropical Pacific every 1-3 years. It was given its name,
which means "Christ child," by Peruvians 200 years ago when they
noticed ocean warming at Christmas time. El Nino can cause many
different weather patterns, such as heavy rains, snow storms,
droughts, and forest fires all around the world. Thinking real hard
about El Nino, I wonder if it could be caused by global warming, or
at least linked in some indirect way. Everybody knows about the
Greenhouse Effect and that it is getting worse and worse, so couldn't
this be causing the ocean water in the El Nino zone to get warmer
faster than usual? I think that it is, and if everybody in the world
doesn't start changing the way they are treating the Earth and it's
atmosphere, everything could become a big disaster.
The present El Nino has been going on for a long
time, longer than all the other "normal" El Nino's have been. Maybe
it's a coincidence, but our Earth is becoming warmer, and the
temperature is rising a lot faster now than it did before all the big
factories became popular. But I don't think it's a coincidence. All
you have to do is think logically to come to that conclusion.
Scientists seem to always need an explanation for everything. And it
always has to be so complicated with them. They have all these
formulas that don't make any sense to an average mind. But sometimes
all people need is the average mind to figure something out, not
Einstein's brain, or Ben Franklin's brain, just the brain you think
with every day to make simple decisions. And everyday simple
decisions could help make our planet a safer, healthier place to
live.
Everything on the Earth is now being affected by
global warming and El Nino. Sea life, including sea mammals, is dying
and disappearing, and there seems to be nothing that anybody can do
about it. The land is burning from droughts or being swept away by
floods. People are also dying every day becauseof the disasters all
around the world caused by this phenomenon. Take the baby seals and
sea lions of California, for example. If you walk along the
California shoreline, you'll find hundreds of them that are sick,
dying, or dead because the warm water from El Nino is depleting their
food supply.
All you have to do is imagine that these mammals
are human beings, and that we are dying because our warming planet is
destroying our ways of getting food. You see, nothing is too
complicated for us to understand. And if people don't start
understanding soon that we have to be careful about what we do to the
Earth and its atmosphere, one of these days it may be too late to do
anything about it.
