I don’t want to sound preachy or anything, but one of these
days, we will have to face the fact that our world is dying. I know that most of us are too absorbed with
our own remarkable lives that almost nothing daunts us when it comes to news
about our environment and nature as a whole. This brings me back to high school while studying biology in class. I’m sure most of us remember the unlucky frog
project, where you need to find a frog, boil it, take its skin/tissue off
(yeah, I know, grotesque!), and construct a masterpiece of perfectly pieced
and framed frog bones. If you are one of
those people who never bought their projects in a flea market and instead went
through the tedious process of catching a frog (and not a toad), finding a
special sanctuary (in their backyard) to set up their cooking tent so that their
mothers won’t find out that they are using her ‘caserola’ to cook their frog, then
you would know for a fact that you cannot put a frog in a boiling water. One of three things will happen if you put a
frog in a kettle of boiling water – one, you will need to go through the whole
process of frog hunting again because the frog will jump out of the kettle quicker
than you can say “pu—- ina!”, two, you will faint at the sight of a crying,
begging frog that could not jump out of the kettle and you will be scarred for
life and become a social deviant, or three, you will drop high school because
your frog jump out of the kettle, spattered boiling water all over you and you
screamed like a girl, your mother heard you and found out about the ‘caserola’
and decided that you are too retarded for a regular school! – But, there is an
easy way to tame your little green friend, get tap water, put the frog in it,
place it on a stove and cook it on low fire. The frog will slowly feel
comfortable, and eventually fall asleep and before it can wake up and smell the
coffee, you are showing its bones to your biology teacher! Hah! It’s the same
with humans really.  Climate change is
happening whether we acknowledge it or not. Only the most retarded of us all could not notice the signs. We only act when changes in our lives are
abrupt and immediately threatening. We
are like frogs lying comfortably in a kettle of soon to be boiling water. Unless we do something about it, most of us
will never know what hit us.

Let us start doing our share in preserving the only planet
we have. Soon I will be posting some
simple ideas that we can do to help in our war against global warming. In Ireland we have this concept of “the Power of One” – which I will share next. You, my friend can start by spreading facts
and news about climate change to your friends and neighbours.
