The Tipping Point


today is 1st march and the temperature is 11 degree here in rohtak. 11 degree celcius is a bit of low in the month of march. The state has recently received rainfalls a few days ago which is extending the winter season and spoiling the crops. Add the point that the rainfall had a quite odd timing.
also I remember the maximum temperature in july month last year went upto 52 degree, and not to forget the crying for shortage of water in the earlier months of the summer season and saving ourselves from the floods in the latter half.Last year the world received 21 storms and 12 hurricanes a bit higher than the normal. The summers are approaching , I’m not a weather scientist but i can correctly predict that they will be more hot and humid from last year. The weather extremes are touching new highs by each coming year. I wonder if we have reached a tipping point in our environmental equilibrium. These extreme weathers, odd rainfalls and small shifting of weather may be the symbol of the tipping point,
but the question is, are we really listening to the earth’s cry or we will be like an ostrich, who doesn’t really face the trouble but hides his face from it.
Are we ready to make a few compromises to see a better future for our children.
Are we ready to live in harmony with our own environment.
