For an hour, the lights went out in the entire Philippines. No, it was not a power failure. Nor was it a sabotage or terrorism. The blackout was intended to show the world that Filipinos are aware of the continuing problem of global warming.

Global warming is a real threat. Everywhere, peoples and nations are beginning to feel its effects in their daily lives. Crops grow stunted, drought in many places, torrential rains, dangerous UV emissions from the sun, and so on and so forth. The earth is being punished by its sons. Its breathing is being affected by those toxic fumes and heavy sulfuric content of its air.

We feel it here. A couple of years ago, the rays of the sun here are not as scorching as it is now. When you go out, you feel the danger, literally, of the sun’s rays. It is as if there’s no more protection from the atmosphere.

Nations of the world should unite to at least ease the effects of global warming. Companies should turn green. By this I meant technologies should be applied that harmonizes production instead of it being a threat to the environment. Hey, companies must realize that they are the major pollutants of this small tiny planet and they should feel responsible in taking care of it.

Science should at least turn their attention at creating technologies that harmonizes with nature. I mean, everything here in this earth is recycle-able. Its the law of nature. That’s why there are natural elements that breakdown the components of a thing so that that thing turns into a useful element of the earth. If science invents things that help instead of harm the environment, then, it would be welcome news to us.

As things stand now, peoples of the earth continue to do things that harm, maybe because they are being fed with first or second generation technologies which they apply to do things. It is prudent, therefore, for governments to train and inform their citizens of newer, environmentally-friendly technologies so that the dangers of global warming would not turn more deadly, more life-threatening.
