The Day After Tomorrow

How interesting. I just watched the TV show on humans facing wrath of Mother Nature in the form of Mount Everest, and now they face her in a greater scale of fury. The movie basically entails the male lead dioscovering dat the global warming leads to the disruption of the ocean current movement, resulting in the lack of heat being transferred to the Northern Hemisphere. Blizzard storm ensues dat encaps the whole north side, with crazy temperatures freezing those caught in the eye of the storm.

The movie tried to inject warmth thru the side story of the male lead doing his utmost to save his son trapped in Manhattan. Well, I dun really think dat works, but the message spread in the movie is loud n clear: Global warming continues n this is wat we gonna face. We humans can blame no one else; we brought it on ourselves. Had we taken the initiative to stop wat we r doing n think about wat we should do, life would never be the same again. We exploit Earth's resources without replenishing them; waste the resources on the useless stuff we deem essential. In view of this, we never seek to strive for a balance between the costs and the supply. Perhaps, Hugo Weaving was right in the Matrix when he claimed dat humans cannot be classified as mammals because they dun seek for balance. Instead, we behave like viruses, exploit wat we can n leave the body to die.

Is there hope for mankind? Well, it's hard to say. Many who are conscious of the situation will seek to educate the young to preserve the planet. But we cannot overlook the stubborn losers who refuse to live a 'simpler' life for the planet's sake. Dats y the natural catastrophes r here, to teach them the rough lesson they will never forget. Perhaps, as in the movie, we need such a devasting event to launch half the world into Ice Age to wake up all the 'sleepyheads' out there. Like the ending says: "I've never seen the sky so clear blue".............






*Dun wait for one to blow up before you change your attitude to him. Sometimes, you cannot afford the price of such a catalyst of change..............^_^
