Sincerely Yours Earthly...

In 1997, when the whole world birthed the Kyoto treaty, it was like we were certainly reaching a monumental turning point in the history of humanity when we can all work unanimously towards curbing the unhealthy increase in global green house gas concentration.   The commitment period was seen as a reasonable time frame to get the goal of the protocol achieved and set a motion for a new world order in the regards of zero emission future. Alas, 2012 arrived and it was like we were still at the basis of preparation, canvassing for a total ratification and then it became so reasonable to conclude on the note that humanity would be held largely responsible for the catastrophic changes enabled by our inaction towards making a concrete agreement that would ensure a safe future. For over fifteen years of the Kyoto commitment we have been able to achieve little less than expected while most of the promises have set records of being all paper based propaganda.  ...

In spite of the downplays by policy makers and the strong deniers witnessed in the regards of climate change, still the impacts have been vivid and obvious enough to challenge the consciousness of the more sensitive populace of the world.  The fact is no longer debatable that climate change is real and the impacts are more obvious in recent times. Thanks to the latest IPCC report which gave the much anticipated view into the reasons to believe that the changes are predominantly anthropologically induced. 2013 witnessed a quite a number of events that would have propelled or perhaps changed the outlook of  situations in the regards of commitments level by world leaders, major stakeholders and concerned agencies. But the reverse was the case and it even seemed we took some few steps back into the past which was shadowed in negligence. In a more vivid look, the climate talks in Warsaw saw a lot of drama, from the walk-out of the African civil society dele...

Would there still be a home after all ? This is a question that seems to shake the walls of today and still resounds into the unknown future of the world. And of course it didn’t come from the mouth of the ones who have seen it all but the small voice of the few who will yet walk the earth like many who did before them. Apparently a lot of people do not seem to care or take a little time to reflect on the possibilities of losing what we tend to attribute as norm around us, in the regards of our respective immediate environment. Yet a lot of us would always expect to live our lives in the respect of what has always been obtained that in most cases we tend not notice the slight to little changes around us. Overtime, the accumulation of this negligence in turn suddenly becomes the strange threat to our very lives after the many afforded years of opportunities to curb such growth if we had had a little time to reflect on the little things aroun...

“No one is safe and nowhere is safe enough! ” The latest report coming from the round tables of the IPCC has left quite an impact of fear in the heart of the whole world in the wise of the looming dangers of climate change. Scientists have yet made another round of discovery in the big picture evidences of the changing climate. And now, a reasonable conclusion has been drawn to allow for this statement “Nobody is going to be untouched by the impact of climate change” Now we know for certain, a nightmare lies ahead and as yet much to the fact that we have always lived in the fear of a major world changing catastrophe, this leads to the much expectation of a world well prepared to live through such an eventful era of change. Alas, the prevailing picture of event would not support such a notion of preparedness, not for certain in any part of the globe. Looking through the history of man, it’s often a wonder how we tend to be indifferen...

M Man's  naturally inclined and continuous quest for absolute control and domination of his natural environment has for a while now induced a transformation that has seen the world changed and entreated as almost the manipulated creation of man. From being the most vulnerable life form on earth, the highly competitive environment we formed a part of drove us to reason beyond the limits of our supposedly capacity into a the new age of sophistication. From primary cavemen tools we evolved on a gradual scale and yet the growth was healthy, then we birthed the industrial age of manufacturing revolution that saw man at the peak of his ingenuity. Overnight, the world took a turn of advancement and gradually the dream of absolute domination became feasible, man was no longer at the mercy of his environment to some extent though it took a while to overcome some stubborn diseases but still, the era marked the beginning of the golden age for humanity. There wa...

Ignorance could often be considered a significant factor of influence in the wise of the poor    perception   of climate change among the common people of the developing world , but a more obvious pointer is their decried poverty state which in a great deal of way has negatively influenced their take on the climate issue. The fact is that their common orientation towards devising a more or less daily surviving strategy way outweighs their relative concern for the inevitable change which in most cases they tend to term as not relevant considering their relative state of living. In a lot of respect, the premise is not that they do not feel or perceive the dangerous changes, in fact, these set of people, who make up the larger proportion of the developing countries’ population have come to recognize the fact that there are changes already well obvious around their respective environment and which in a way have been impacting their respective livelihood suppor...
