Research
indicates that
"climate change
has killed about
315 people a
year, hunger,
disease or
natural
disasters, and
the number will
raise to 500
thousand by
2030." (1) The
study estimates
that the climate
problem affects
325 million
people annually
and that in two
decades, which
number will
double, reaching
the equivalent
of 10% of the
world today. To
minimize the
impact, "we
should multiply
by a hundred
efforts to adapt
to the change in
climate in
developing
countries."(2)
The
Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC,
its acronym in
English) in its
vast assessment
of the issue,
made in 2008,
concluded that
since
temperatures
began rising
rapidly in 70
years, the
greenhouse gases
produced by man,
had a weight 13
times more
global warming
than the
variation of
solar activity.
Almost 25% of
the world is
threatened by
flooding as a
result of
melting of the
Arctic,
according to a
study published
in August 2009,
the World Wide
Fund for Nature
(WWF). As the
ice extent
decreases, and
the ocean
surface
increases, the
amount of solar
energy absorbed
also increases.
Recently, a
glacier melted
and Switzerland
won 150 meters
of land,
originally
Italian. The
line, which
determined the
border, since
1942, moved.
There was
melting fields,
permanently
covered with
snow in the
Alps, as a
result of global
warming also can
destroy 85% of
the Amazon.
Global warming
releases large
amounts of
methane
[greenhouse gas]
in the polar
region. Until
now, these gases
were "trapped in
the ice." This
effect
contributes, in
turn, to the
acceleration of
melting in the
Polar Regions.
Given this
change, an ice
bridge [one
block the size
of Jamaica],
which connects
two islands in
Antarctica,
broke up - they
said. The break
may indicate
that the block
Wilkins, (3) is
known as the
territory, float
freely, which
will be one of
the effects of
changes caused
by global
warming.
The company must
format new
models of
coexistence,
backed
brotherhood and
love
In fact, many of
the ice
decreased in
recent years in
Antarctica, and
six of them have
collapsed
completely, the
sample from the
glaciers of
Prince Gustav
Channel, Larsen
Inlet, Larsen A,
Larsen B, Wordie,
Muller and
Jones. Analysis
shows that when
the blocks are
broken, the
glaciers and ice
masses begin to
move toward the
ocean. In 1985,
scientists
identified a
hole in the
ozone layer over
Antarctica,
which continues
to expand,
frighteningly.
The ozone
depletion
contributes to
the "greenhouse
phenomenon. The
consequences of
this syndrome
are
catastrophic,
like global
warming and
climate change,
precipitating
the occurrence
of hurricanes,
severe storms
and even
earthquakes. The
effects of El
Nino and La
Nina, too, are
terrifying,
because that
accelerate the
melting of polar
ice caps,
increasing
consequently the
sea level and
flooding coastal
areas. They
include the
records of
shrinking
glaciers in the
Himalayas, the
Andes, on Mount
Kilimanjaro, and
the only ski
resort in
Bolivia,
Chacaltaya,
ended his
activity, the
scarcity of snow
in the region.
It is urgent to
create a
critical
mentality, which
would establish
new behaviors
with a focus on
sustainability
of human life.
The company must
format new
models of
coexistence,
backed
brotherhood and
love. The lack
of awareness, of
interdependence
and
complementarity
between
individuals,
creates ever
more intensely,
the imbalance of
nature.
The scientist
Stephen Hawking
in his book "The
Universe in a
Nutshell",
explains, in a
curious way,
that: "A
butterfly
flapping its
wings in Tokyo
can cause rain
in Central Park
in New York."
(4) Hawking
explains that
"it is the
beating of
wings, simply to
generate the
rain, but the
influence of
this little
movement on
other events in
other places it
can lead
ultimately to
influence the
climate." (5)
In the United
States, 55
million people
think that lack
little to end
the world
Because these
throes of acute
pain of nature,
arise in various
parts of the
world, fanatical
groups of
people, creating
sects and cults
strangers, leave
employment,
family, waiting
for the
"doomsday". Only
in France,
according to the
magazine ISTOÉ
of 4 August
1999, nearly 200
of them, with
300 thousand
followers. In
Japan, many
"gurus" predict
the "end of the
world." In the
United States,
55 million
Americans think
that lack little
for the world
over. For them,
the hurricanes
that have
destroyed the
central region
of the country
are angels sent
to punish men,
announcing the
"high end". (6)
It is not
comforting in
any way, the
appearance of
people with
these bizarre
beliefs, which
are
proliferating
around the
world, obscured
the reason for
the expectation
of a "new era".
Unfortunately,
even in spirit
hosts, there
have been some
books with ideas
that lead the
unsuspecting to
the hypnosis
panic or
catastrophic
worst possible
scenario ...!
Today, according
to the Law of
Cause and
Effect, we do
not have the
talent of
prophecy to
predict the
future landscape
of the land.
Earthquakes,
hurricanes,
floods, volcanic
eruptions and
other natural
disasters are
inevitable and
will be part of
the dynamics of
nature. This
does not mean we
cannot do
anything to make
us less
vulnerable.
"Learning from
the disasters of
today to deal
with future
threats." (7) We
are informed by
the world famous
Lyonnais, Allan
Kardec, that the
great phenomena
of nature, those
who are
considered a
disturbance of
the elements,
there are
unforeseen
circumstances,
because
"everything has
a purpose and
nothing happens
without God's
permission. (8)
and the
cataclysms
"sometimes have
a reason to be
direct to the
man. However, in
most cases, aim
to restore
balance and
harmony of the
physical forces
of nature." (9)
The health
concern is which
results in
uplifting
achievements for
the good of all
Pessimists
insist, always,
in thinking that
way, negative
and dark, to see
things in the
world is a
realistic way to
live. In fact,
if we look at
life with a lot
of emotion (far
from thinking)
will find plenty
of reasons that
we kill the
animals,
anywhere and in
any situation,
for example, we
are faced daily
with needy
children; hunger
universal wars,
urban violence,
kidnappings,
famine, social
insecurity,
corruption, etc.
catastrophic
accidents.
However, it is a
duty towards our
well-being, we
adapted to life
with all she has
good and bad,
without,
necessarily, it
stays stuck to
the situations.
Be concerned
only and remain
passive in the
face of warning
signs that
nature gives us,
is to model a
chaotic future
for generations
to come. The
health concern
is which that
results in gains
uplifting for
its own sake and
for the good of
all,
fundamentally,
for the next
sister to come
to reincarnate.
This is a
legitimate
Christian.
However
difficult the
challenges they
are facing, due
to the very
human
carelessness,
spurred the
desire to find
harmony with
Mother Nature.
We must remember
that Jesus is
the Way that
leads us to the
enlightened
concepts of
Truth, where we
received the
glorious seed of
wisdom, which
dominate the
centuries to
come, preparing
our earthly life
to the heights
of universal
love in the
deepest respect
for nature.
