BEFORE SUNDOWN ………………….BEFORE WIND STOP BLOWING

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Mayans sees the dooms day will fall in 2012 AD based on cosmic activities, perhaps they never knew that mankind could create more heat on earth surface than on SunƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s. The little boy which fell onHiroshima back in 1945 managed to generate almost 4000c and the SunƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s average surface temperature is only 9000c. After 66 years the magnitude of heat we can generate through nuclear power today enough to illuminate another Globe in technical terms, as one single nuclear explosion can easily generate 10m Celsius at any given time. Startling revelation is 1.6b that of ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚¼ of the earth dwellers has no access to electricity at present.

The burning of fossil fuels and green house gases not only limits earthƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s longevity and its human occupants but itƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s a clear injustice to those creatures which share the earth for millions of years. The day we absorb the last drop of crude oil from the cavity of earth all the exercise will come to and end, as pursuing solar and wind energy which is the most clean and viable environmental friendly source of energy in its snail pace for decades.

The results which brought from space exploration for last 30 years brought us no effective good results or solutions to the already adulterated blue planet, compare to the colossal amount of money and skills utilized. Apart from those communication and environmental reconnaissance satellites most of other space gadgets are directly or indirectly are being utilized for military purposes. The three decades of space-shuttle exploration came to an end with its final mission in the recent pass only to signal that manƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s next visit is a lone asteroid in 2020.

A brave rancher who mans his herd of buffalos once asked ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-the day we make Mars conducive for colonization how many of us can go there? Apparently, indicating the hurricane which is on its way is more important for him, just to safeguard his lives stock than living in Mars.

The constant battering of mother-nature would not show any mercy as we heat up the atmosphere in a very rapid pace more than ever before.AmericaandChinaat the helm lead the pollutersƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ club with scores of other participants eventually will meet grim Mayan Calendar. The growing cravenness for the remaining earthƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s recourses to get more mileage for their existence and irresponsible industrialization of the land become more common phenomena today. These two giants along with scores of other polluters will go down in the history one day as demons who destroyed the once-green-planet.

Handful of scientists and environmentalistsƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ constant battle to curtail the eventuality with array of means will find their exercise futile as demons of the devastative race will emerge victorious above environmental friendly saints.

Geographically 2/3 of the countries got easy access to solar power and wind power, by promoting and providing necessary resources within foreseeable future means majority of them can be armed with this clean power, thus fossil fuel burning could be confined only for machineries and vehicles at large, until right thinking brains invent an accessible/clean-energy-solution for the fuel burning mouths.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Couple of decades back Jacques Cousteau the world renown explorer revealed how precarious is our ocean and the and adverse effects due to manƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s irresponsible behavior. According to his grandson Philippe another leading environmentalist today blowing the whistle from middle of arctic says, doomsday-clock is not only ticking but certainly ticking faster than expected. As he puts it in simple words ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-the whole system should support each other, if not we canƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t existƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚. As he mentioned we cannot exist through the devastative pattern which are being adopted today which invariably tighten the snooze around planet earth cannot be loosen quiet easily. It is a complicated exercise economically, politically and socially, not necessarily confined to polar- regions alone. It is worth to state according to him by reducing consumption of meat can reduce the carbon foot prints, unfortunately status quo certainly not ready to embrace the truth in it, although itƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s a stark reminder of the cycle of life on earth.

Population bomb is very much inter-connected to pollution fuse thus going hand in hand to find its end, proving the norm of more demand more devastation, in terms of environmental hazards.

Most of the middle-eastern countries realized the importance of the solar power and it would be a future beacon of the already mystified energy struggle in years to come, knowing economically they will be the first to go for the acid test in already troubled energy sector.

The history of wind mills which operate to generate the electricity mainly in European part of the world spanning few decades back but has not become a dominant or formidable energy source at greater level, some experts firmly believe that one day world definitely aligned with wind solution than solar as the future earth will be a very windier place where sunlight would not be the main option due to ever changing climatic and weather patterns.

We all witnessed the hazardous results which fell upon thousands of people inJapanafter the devastative earth quake subsequently jolted the entire line of nuclear plants located in the coastal belt. The struggle to overcome the calamity not only unbearable and certainly would be a-lost-battle. Well equipped Japanese too find it hard to control the constant leaks from the battered nuclear plants includingFukushimaplants which pose a major threat to the people and more importantly to the environment.

Due to string of other disasters we have forgotten Chernobyl is a ghost town today without any human presence, nuclear option is certainly not a friendly ghost, at the end it leaves a irreversible foot print on earth in terms of waste which we would find extremely difficulty to hide within our limited space and eventually dump into the precious ocean means it only can compare to push dirt under the sleeping bed.

Running behind nuclear option would be similar to going closer to black hole more closer more suction, and itƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s a kris given on a platter to ill-fated minds. Fukushima becoming kith of the infamous Chernobyl cannot be ruled out and itƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s only a beginning of a long list of the-end-game. And Pakistan along with India too sitting on active nuclear volcanoes, with Iran seeking its power through nuclear means that they know how to manipulate or control the epicenter of a earthquake, which is not alien to them of course.

With extreme whether conditions and natural disasters directly or indirectly fueled by us perhaps started since the industrial revolution, we earth dwellers one day find more water than soil yet living in a salty water environment would not be a very pleasant surprise.

The rancher inTexasis innocent as fauna and flora, living helplessly in the greens, which is fast fading in our planet Earth.

    White man ruined the world, in the name of science.
    Aisa chose the wise path to slove problems of living beings thriving to find the root cause while white man was chasing his science tail. Gon Silvas’ of the west now have taken the ball to caary over the line of death.

    How about antimatter reacting with matter. It seems the endeavour in Switzerland at Cern (one kilometer underground) is an attempt in that direction. They say one gram of antimatter can produce enough energy for a car to run a hundred years. Also how about circumventing gravity?. Just type in ‘element 115’ in google and read a fascinating story. I am not sure how much of it is fact or fiction.

    All of us live as we’d never die. We need sleep every day and that sleep is like death in soft terms. No one can ever tell, if he would wake up from his sleep.

    We maybe able to predict any object falling on earth, but we don’t know ho wto stop it. If anything ever comes around to hit us from somewhere in universe, the Earth would explode and we’d all die.

    Science that gained momentum so fsat within last 150 years is hard to believe, if the earthlings had lived here for millions of years. That same science kills the earthlings everyday. Even producing alcohol and tobacco is science connected.
