Planet Earth: Are We Deserting You?

By Mikyung Lim
December 7, 2009

We live in a crazy world.

Politics has gone mad. People’s lives have gotten busted. Now, climate is getting out of control.

Many people don’t believe this if they could not see it right now, at this moment. They believe, if it did not happen now, it could not have existed. They take every trivial worldly matters serious: which actresses lost how much weight and wear what kind of dresses at film festivals; which golfer or celebrity had how many affairs; who get expensive NY apartment; and which vain couple pursued the ultimate vanity of crashing into White House Dinner. But they can not seriously take in the fact that this white stripped, blue marble planet "Earth" is plunging into the state of an inhabitable place for human race, if serious actions are not taken soon.

Please read the below quotes from an article ”56 Papers in 45 Countries Publish Joint Editorial” by Editor & Publisher. How stupid, ignorant we are, or the entire civilization is, if we have been the source of our own destruction.

“The science is complex but the facts are clear. The world needs to take steps to limit temperature rises to 2C, an aim that will require global emissions to peak and begin falling within the next 5-10 years. A bigger rise of 3-4C — the smallest increase we can prudently expect to follow inaction — would parch continents, turning farmland into desert. Half of all species could become extinct, untold millions of people would be displaced, whole nations drowned by the sea.“
