“CLIMATE CHANGE” CATALYST FOR CATASTHROPE!.

BY Desmond Kelly “the Star of eLanka”

We are now well & truly into the 21st Century.

200 years ago,”Climate-Change”was a subject hardly spoken about. Our little planet Earth was already well INTO IT, but Plagues, World Wars,Conflicts & other such misfortunes were much more to the fore in the minds of Earthlings, than what was happening in Space, so to speak. Although THIS has been happening since God made the “big bang” actually occur, Adam was too busy looking for UNFORBIDDEN fruit, Eve was trying to avoid “the snake” who was “eying” her & Cain was still running around, looking for Abel in order to “put him down.

CLIMATE-CHANGE WAS HAPPENING EVEN THEN. NOT AS NOTICEABLY, NOT AS RAPIDLY, PERHAPS BUT IT WAS HAPPENING, SINCE ADAM WAS A BOY. RIGHT NOW, WITH THE PASSING OF TIME, THE PLUSSES IN POLLUTANTS, PUERILE PRESIDENTS WHO “PASS” IT OFF AS A HOAX, CLIMATE-CHANGE IS VERY MUCH LIKE THE TORTISE WHO BEAT THE HARE. MOVING MORE STEADILY NOW, BUT “GETTING THERE”.

Because I am in the.privileged position of writing for “Electronic Lanka”, which is now becoming famous,simply as e’Lanka, or the foremost “website” for you folk who are reading this, right now. Lankans, Lankan/Aussies, in fact, all our Countrymen/Women
around the little Planet, mentioned before, I am going to concentrate on “My Lovely Island Home” a prime example of what “C.C”(Climate-Change) has sadly already done, as in the “tsunami” recently.
Strange, how “C.C”stands for Climate- Change. It is also much like another “C.C.”, the Curse of Cancer. Moving around like a thief in the night and causing all sorts of problems.

I feel certain that anyone reading this article would be intelligent enough to realize these 3 important facts.

1. ON ANY PLANET IN THE UNIVERSE, NATURE IS
FIRST & FOREMOST, THE DRIVING FORCE. MUCK
AROUND WITH NATURE AT YOUR OWN PERIL.

2. THE CATALYST FOR CATASTHROPE IS “CLIMATE-
CHANGE” LOOK AROUND AND UNLESS YOU ARE
STONE BLIND, YOU WILL SEE IT.

3. CLIMATE-CHANGE, IF NOT “CONTROLLED”,
IMMEDIATELY, WILL CERTAINLY BE THE CLIMAX
OF THE EARTH AS WE KNOW IT.

Contrary to what President Donald Trump or anyone else has to say, Climate-Change is anything BUT a hoax. Little Islands like Sri Lanka will be completely swallowed up by the sea if climate-change forges ahead, unabated. A very true saying is “You are what you eat”. Looking at it this way. Earth’s atmosphere is what humans put into it. The more rubbish we push out into the “air”, the more polluted the air becomes and this has a domino effect in causing “flooding”, “drought”, “famine”, “earthquakes”, “tsunamis”, wars, just name the pestilence and there it is.

With flooding & the opposite in drought, food-crops cannot be possible. This, then, causes famine. Famine
is now becoming so widespread, not a day goes by without human beings dying in their thousands due to lack of food. Drought is just as bad, or worse. Around some of the most populated Countries, innocent little children have to drink filthy “ditch-water”. Even forgetting all the other pestilences dished out by Mother Nature, famine then results in people becoming Nomads. Thus, the huge “Refugee-Crisis” problems now facing the World. On & on, it goes.

People moving into Countries that are slightly more self-sufficient then cause problems that escalate into arguments & in the worst cases, even total war. International Law specfies that every Country has to accept a quota of refugees but this law has now become a sad “joke”. People have to live, and to live, they have to eat. The third World, huge areas of it, have now become nomadic because of Climate-Change. You do not have to become another Albert Einestien to figure this out.

Talking about THAT eminent Scientist, many such “Brains” are in the.process of trying to find the solution to the problem of Climate-Change. Politicians and other “Pundits” should leave it to SCIENTISTS to STOP the huge ice-bergs from slowly but surely melting down as Earth grows warmer, and it IS happening, folks. Dirty black coal cannot be turned into clean white?? coal, no matter what you do to it.
Many other “methods” of controlling Climate-Change are constantly in progress. Governments of the World should get their priorities right and put taxpayer money into where it counts most. Into the structure of

“CLIMATE-CHANGE, CATALYST FOR CATASTHROPE”

This should be right on top of all Government Agendas everywhere. They “run” the various Countries and must ENSURE that their “People” fully understand how serious this.problem is and what must be done to keep it at a minimum. Climates will ALWAYS CHANGE but, as I have said often, LIFE is but a blink of an eye in the context of time, lets enjoy it as we live because you are “dead” for a long long time.!

“THINK ABOUT IT”.
