"Global warming is already causing damage in many parts of the United States. In 2002, Colorado, Arizona and Oregon endured their worst wildfire seasons ever.
The same year, drought created severe dust storms in Montana, Colorado and Kansas, and floods caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage in Texas, Montana and North Dakota.
Since the early 1950s, snow accumulation has declined 60 percent and winter seasons have shortened in some areas of the Cascade Range in Oregon and Washington.
Of course, the impacts of global warming are not limited to the United States.
In 2003, extreme heat waves caused more than 20,000 deaths in Europe and more than 1,500 deaths in India.
And in what scientists regard as an alarming sign of events to come, the area of the Arctic's perennial polar ice cap is declining at the rate of 9 percent per decade. "
Read on if you are still not convince enough that our world is in great danger . It might face the danger of extinction if we do not do our part now to protect our environment.
"Yes. Global warming is a complex phenomenon, and its full-scale impacts are hard to predict far in advance.
But each year scientists learn more about how global warming is affecting the planet, and many agree that certain consequences are likely to occur if current trends continue.
Among these:
Melting glaciers, early snowmelt and severe droughts will cause more dramatic water shortages in the American West.
Rising sea levels will lead to coastal flooding on the Eastern seaboard, in Florida, and in other areas, such as the Gulf of Mexico.
Warmer sea surface temperatures will fuel more intense hurricanes in the southeastern Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
Forests, farms and cities will face troublesome new pests and more mosquito-borne diseases.
Disruption of habitats such as coral reefs and alpine meadows could drive many plant and animal species to extinction."
Even though we live in a small country in singapore . Small , Peaceful , Disaster-Free ... But we must not take all this we have for granted. and Because we live in such a peaceful country , we should slow our pace in keeping up with the environmental efforts the society have provided us with. We must act fast and bring this environmental issue up to not just a society issue but as a global issue. I truly felt that we could do something for the environment even if it's just the smallest bit of our daily lifes. It must be an action that is always carried out in our daily life.. ever moment every minute every time you do a task always think of the effect it will have on the environment in the long run..
The Earth is yours to protect or to destroy . The Choice lies in you .
Here a tip on How to really do your part in the world's effort to protect the environment.
"There are many
simple steps you can take right now to cut global warming pollution. Make
conserving energy a part of your daily routine. Each time you choose a compact fluorescent light bulb over an incandescent bulb, for example, you'll lower your energy bill and keep nearly 700 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the air over the bulb's lifetime. By opting for a refrigerator with the Energy Star label -- indicating it uses at least 15 percent less energy than the federal requirement -- over a less energy-efficient model, you can reduce carbon dioxide pollution by nearly a ton in total.

Actually , I propose to have some sort of an activity to promote awareness to people around us .
Not just within the gakkai but beyond to the people all around us .
We could either have a Green Campaign that we can propose and held some exhibition on a large scale throughout the major town and cities in singapore and bring people closer to this awareness .
Or We could have some reduce reuse recycle program to collect all of the items that can be recycled . Since the media is already stressing very much on environment issues , i think it will be high time for us to do our part by responding back to them .
I could have some suggestion on what can be done to be even better .. thanks .. would like some feedbacks on my tagboard .. thanks alot for those who care .
