        WRATH OF EARTH  

“RUN , RUN ,RUN , RUN OTHERWISE WE WILL BE IN DANGER”. Do not stress your mind by reading these lines because these lines are now familiar to our ears. We live in a world where nothing is normal . Now do not confuse your mind by thinking that we are aliens having superpowers . We are normal humans but not living in a normal World. We are living on a earth but not on a peaceful earth. It is an earth which you can not imagine in your wildest dreams. In our solar system earth was considered as the most appropriate planet for humans to live but now this is not the case . Now earth is considered as the most inappropriate planet to dwell on .We are the reason of this disaster. So let’s start the story that apprise you about the pathetic condition of earth.  

           I am a nature lover so I decided to explore a nearby forest with my friends. We all saw beautiful flowers, inimitable birds and beauty of nature. We all were enjoying but suddenly we heard a roar of thunder and in a blink of an eye there was fire all around. By God’s grace we escaped safely from there and we thought that it was just a incident but that was the beginning. After that there was Chaos all over in the world. There was forest fires, climate changes, floods , melting of glaciers and many more things which you can not imagine. Now nothing is normal. Nothing is simple. Everyday we struggle for our lives.

   Now we do not go to school. On regular basis we experience heavy rainfall like similar to flood and so government closed all the schools. Now we attend our classes online. I really miss my friends , my teachers and school environment. Educated citizens are the integral part in nation’s growth but now because these climate change is a hindrance in the growth of a nation. Food is such an integral part of us but now we don’t get farm’s fresh food like earlier. Extreme weather events and more frequent droughts affect crop production. Earlier we used to eat many vegetables and fruits but now we only get artificial food . Soil has become infertile and they are incapable of growing crops so our scientists now prepare food in laboratory. This food can fill your empty stomach but not your heart. These laboratory food are very costly so it is impossible for poor people to buy it. It is like a condition of rent. Tress give us oxygen but now they are being destroyed in forest fires and maximum of tress were already destroyed by people for their own selfish needs. People are displaced from their homes because of serve weather events and this results in social instability and conflict when these people move to new place.

         Now global warming is at its high peak. And it is reducing the capacity of ocean to absorb oxygen. Geoscientists have found that anaerobic microbes would have thrived in these conditions and produced vast amount of hydrogen sulfide gas which is very toxic causing extinction of both plant and animal on land as well as in water. In news we see that one or other pandemic outbreak is going in the world . This is because of rising temperature gives a suitable condition for development of harmful viruses . Now economically poor people are dependent on meat based diet, which rises the risk of outbreak of diseases which can be very dangerous to humans. The combination of humidity and heat can impair the human body’s ability to cool itself, leading to hyperthermia, a potentially life threatening condition. In some or another part of the country glaciers are melting because of global warming. The harmful greenhouse gases have destroyed our ozone layer , which is leading to many incurable diseases . From all above activities happening in our world can give you a clear Idea that it is a climate apocalypse . Yes it is a climate apocalypse.

              We daily experience earthquakes , condition of flood and drought. Now we cannot go to parks or sit under the trees to experience the idyllic happiness. We cannot go to forests ,zoo and to malls instead we can only see the dreadful condition of our earth from our homes in our television .  

     People in past have destroyed our environment. They did deforestation for their needs without supporting afforestation. They used plastics and threw them away in Oceans . They used vehicles , industries which released harmful gases . They did everything for their pleasure without thinking about their next generation . It is truly said that your past deeds affect your future. In this condition we can do nothing but just kindle the light of hope in ourselves. Though everywhere there are clouds of darkness but I believe that Every cloud has a silver lining. It is not a piece of cake to survive in this era. This climate apocalypse involve the global collapse of human civilization and potential human extinction as either a direct or indirect result of anthropogenic climate change. Earth is now rendered uninhabitable as a result of extreme temperatures, severe weather events ,an inability to grow crops and an altered composition of the earth’s atmosphere.

     Now it is impossible for us to live with this environment and we are just hoping for best. Our scientists also working very diligently day and night for some solution. They were finding solutions from many years . They were also going in space to find a solution and now finally they found a solution . They found a planet which is suitable for humans to live . After such travail they did it . It is truly said “ Obstacles are the cost of greatness”. 

           Now today is the day when we are going on other planet to establish human civilization once again with peace. We are feeling sad but there is no other option. I hope for best. I hope that now people will take a lesson from this and from now onwards they will not take nature for granted . 

   If you want to save yourself then save your environment.
