Today, we live our lives day to day, not thinking about what will come next. It would seem like natural disasters are now a normal occurrence in the world. We are told not to fear because soon we will have control. Well, wake up! Because there is no "controlling" nature. Since records have been held (430 B.C) there has been 223 major natural disasters in the world which 52 of them have occurred since 2001. There has been an increase of 20% in their occurrence in the past 15 years!
So now your sitting at home asking yourself: is that possible? Right? You don't have to look far to find your answer. Just turn on your television and watch the news once in awhile.
….December 21st 2012, A date so called "The end of the world ". It has its number of believers that seem to consider this end to be more likely every day. If you ask me, its not going to be one thing that contributes to this end but many things added up. Although I must add that I believe it will not be the end of the world for everyone on earth.
Urbanisation. It is what made us and what will kill us. Everyone who lives without technology, who lives far away from any civilisation, will be fine for one reason. They have continued living the way they were naturally created to as to we have not. We can no longer live without technology in peace.
Take a minute to think about it. BAM! No more electricity, no more oil. In a matter of weeks half the worlds population would be gone. How you might ask? We can't pump any oil out and refine it if we have no electricity. No more oil means, no more gas. No more heating, no more food. How do you get food from Texas to Ontario without gas? What do you do when its 30 below and you have to heating in your house? There's not enough wood in Toronto to heat 3 million people now is there?
But hey, that's only the problems we made for ourselves. Let’s not forget that thanks to your car you drive every day, and all those industries that make your beautiful computer your reading this on have increased the temperature of the surface of the earth by 1°C since 2000 and will reach 6.4°C by 2100. Worst part is, we are past the fixing point and no matter what we do this will happen.
All this to say that even if we wake up December 22nd, 2012, in one piece our time clock is still ticking at a rapid rate.
