The muggy humid heat is causing me not to write. I shut my computer early and go to the bedroom and switch on the aircond. This small act actually will increase my carbon footprint causing our Mother Earth to heat up further.
The water and energy consumption does go up. In the news, in Pakistan more than 2000 has died of heatstroke. Global warming is starting to keep humanity growth in check.
This is big picture look. On a personal scale, we are living at 1 degree North of the Equator. It is hot and humid all year round. Living a cooler country will reduce our carbon footprint. However, during winter we will need heat.
Living in a cooler climate, I will be able to write more frequently and be productive. Humans are able to survive on a narrow range of temperature, so do most living things. The Straits Times is publishing articles on the mass extinction of species. So are we reaching a tipping point? Can we survive the future?
