Global Warming and its Impact!

Recently there are news about Global Warming. There are articles in the news for the whole weeks about its impact this and that.....

What is Global Warming?
Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. A rise of 3 to 9 degrees in average temperature will have serious environmental consequences.

How does it impact us?
Well, it does have some direct impact on me. Nowadays it get very hot in the night. I stay at the 28 story therefore it is always very windy. At the very worst case, there is always a breeze at anytime of the day. For the whole last year, I on my air-con for less than 10 times. But this year is different. Althought it is still quite windy in the afternoon, I can feel the heat in the air. Worst still at night. I can't feel any breeze. Furthermore the air around is so still and heaty. Very difficult to sleep. No choice I got to on the air-con. I can't really sleep well in the air-con. Eventhough I can sleep throughout the night, my quality of sleep is no good. I will feel sleepy for the whole day. Very bad.

The impact on my sleep is just a small tip of the iceberg. The impact it has on our earth is much more greater. It is already affecting the world we know, endangering polar bears, shortening ski seasons and creating more intense storms. Global warming is one of the most serious challenges facing us today. To protect the health and economic well-being of current and future generations, everyone must do their part to help the earth.

So the question is....How to help? I'll think about it...

You can help by not switching on the air con to sleep. Air conditioning is one of the factors that contribute to global warming. Consider using the fan instead.
