Mankind today is seeing changes within our environment that Human Beings never saw before. It is a fact that the ice-caps are melting at an accelerated rate. It is a fact that violent storms destroyed billions of dollars of property and even more powerful storms will also destroy billions of dollars of property and they will raise the total number of the victims World-Wide.

As a matter of fact, these events could be the beginning of the end of all living things on Earth. Like it or not, we must find a way to remove the CO2 from our atmosphere before it won't be possible to reverse all of the sudden changes that have caused so much death and destruction to those living things and places that were unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the right time of those horrifying events.

Then again, melted ice is water, the weight of which is drawn to the equator causing additional pressure on a different section of the Earth's crust. Ergo, the increased possibility of earthquakes in those regions where more weight is added. As a matter of fact, there have been five major earthquakes within the last two years.

The huge amount of CO2 gas in the atmosphere isn't the only cause of global warming, but it might be the most contributing factor of what we see today. So much so that people lost sight of the loss of the ozone layer that now causes more UV radiation to reach the surface of our Earth.

Before CFCs were invented the average thickness of the ozone layer was about five miles thick. Now, a vast area of our Earth is protected by an ozone layer that is less than a mile thick or not even there in some places. Clrarly, the UV radiation index needs to be revised. What exactly does a current reading of 10+ UV index reading mean in regard to the amount of radiation that is reaching the Earth's surface at a given time on a given place? Such a reading exceeds the upper most level that index.

If the Sunlight on your skin feels hotter than it did years ago, that is the reason why it does seem to be hotter. The Sun's radiation is also hotter on any other object that comes in contact with it. That's why huge sections of the ice cover at the South Polar region of our Earth broke off and drifted North a few years ago. That is also the reason why we can now navigate by ship across Northern Canada from either coast of the Continent of North America.

In any event, it is now quite clear that Human Beings are the main cause for global warming and each and every one of us should now do all that we can to fix what we broke for the safety and well being of ourselves and for our future generations.

Whatever the cause, our World's Politicians better become "Green Friendly" in a mighty big hurry. The combined resources of the World's people must be put into solving those problem as soon as possible. According to some scientists, as more ice melts that will cause even more ice to melt, until such time that nothing can be done to stop or reverse what could be a complete seasonal melt-down of ice everywhere. So too, how many people will be flooded or burned out of their home, or die from starvation or injured or killed as a direct result of another violent storm, earthquake and/or increased volcanic activity?

Your guess is as good as mine, but you better believe that there will be a major shift of the population concentrations of people that now or will live on our ever changing Earth. Where will you go after you lose your home and are unlucky enough to still be alive?
