The merciless climate

When you arrive in a cold country you get excited to see the snow and play with it and make snowmen, but as time passes you realize that the reality is different. You have to wear winter clothes and feed well to have the energy you need to resist the cold, you also have to spend money on heating and water heaters and sometimes the budget is not enough. If you stay at home is worse, I spent my time between the university, the shopping centers and any place that was warm, I came to my house at night to eat a rich and hot soup and turn on the heating for a while before going to bed.

I take this opportunity that in the world we are having merciless climate changes, just in the USA, more specific in the northern part of the United States, say in Michagan, temperatures have reached -40 degrees Celsius. Maybe for them in that place it is normal but I think that it is not life, it requires many sacrifices and limitations, this temperatures atent against your healthas it represents an attack to health, and an excessive expenditure of money to shelter and feed well, also a danger in the roads, it is best to stay at home, but there are some people that don’t care about the climate, every head is a world, each country has its own culture and way of life.

In schools and factories there must be heaters and beds in case you have to stay due to a bad climate situation in the night, my sister who lived, in Canada, told me that in the colleges there were machines with cold food and hot chocolate machines, coffee or tea to spend the day, waiting of the machines that would remove the snow since the schools were covered by it. I had those cold experiences in Russia and England but in times of less global warming.

When my children were small, we had a Ford Sierra and we traveled in that car for all the states of the country without air-conditioned because it was damaged and I didn´t complain about the heat, especially we always traveled to Zulia state which is quite hot, we tolerate it but now we never take a taxi that does not have aircondition because it is too hot, in a period of time of 20 years the climate has changed a lot and floods are becoming more intense, rivers overflow with great force and earthquakes occur very often.

It is important that we take global warming seriously and start doing things that help improve the environment.

I give you a small list that will help:

  • Plant trees

  • Use the car only for long distances, walk more or use the bicycle

  • Change light bulbs for savers

  • Disconnect all devices or devices that have lights

  • Do not watch so much television and use the computer as necessary

  • Do not leave the lights on if they are not needed

  • Recycle garbage

I know there are many other things that will help, scientists are warning us of the seriousness of this matter and what we can do. I leave a picture of the glacier in Argentina these are melting and you just perceive that reality, it is a fact that the seas will precipitate beyond their limits, remember we can help.
