Dec 21,2012 : will anything change ? (3)
Hoi Riya 
i'll keep this quick cuz i am in a hurry (you know why, hahaha)
and i'll say something about global warming.
Because i have seen many times people denying that this is happening, based on how cold their winter was or how much more ice appeared in antartica.
Firstly, to answer to the above remarks, one effect of the climate change (global warming) is the shift to more edged climate extremes between seasons. That means that it is not only the summer that it's getting hotter but depending on where you live, the winter could also be getting colder.
But for the areas of the earth that are near the equator line, geeez, we are turning into this huge desert zone and we can feel it. On my island we no longer have water. It hasnt rained here for the last 4 years!!! It is the first time this has happened in recorded history, we have no water at all and people are literally thirsty. They give us water to the houses 2 times a week, and even that is too little.
If this wasnt a rich and developed country, if this was an Africa 3rd world one, i am sure that there would be a famine and a lot of casualties. But we buy water from other countries and it is shiped here dayly.
Now, i do not believe in apocalyptic senarios in the future, i think the human race is beyond that. We have had it much harder in the past, we have had periods when our numbers declined even to 10% of what they are today (13th-14th century) and yet we still made it. We got a lot going on for us today, one of the most importand assets being the free flow of information. This gives us a fighting chance to change our dimm future.
But are we up to it? Can we make the difference?
I think, yes.

I think if people can be prepared to live without what we term basic necessities, power, running water... basically able to live in the wild, they can make it. I think if we depend on the governments to get us through it, those people will never survive.

A lot seems to have begun to happen wrt the earths climatic changes and its not global warming to be given the sole responsibility. The predictions for the coming yrs seem to be getting scientific validation like the cooling of the sun's core ..
What do you think ?
Any plans on how to get thro' this if any ?
