Recent news reports show the severe winter weather in Europe and China. Many people have died due to the harsh weather conditions that has reached to as low as minus 20 degrees below zero or lower. Almost anything and everything is frozen out there, lakes, rivers, and even the seashore is ice covered.
Scientists say it is the effects of Global Warming; tropical countries would experience hotter weather while countries that have colder climate will experience more freezing temperatures. A very unfortunate event since the world prices of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) or heating/cooking gas is already on the rise. Not to mention the Global Recession or Depression that's happening in the U.S. and Europe, a lot of people out there have lost their homes to the banks and most who still have their houses cannot afford to buy heating gas these past few months.
I guess that's the harsh realities of life. What comes up must come down, all in due time. We're lucky here in our country because we don't have harsh winter season. Although we do have violent tyhoons and sometimes droughts, we're still lucky not to have unforgiving winters or else where are we going to find the money to buy heating gas? Heck, most of us ordinary folks can't even afford to buy LPG to cook our food what more if we have a winter season.
I hope the people in those really cold places make it through this deep freeze. I don't think it easy freezing to death so let's pray for them too. Let's all pray that the dreaded effects of "Global Warming or Climate Change" doesn't push through because we're all going to be in deep trouble if it does in the near future.
