2010, A record breaking 1.5 degree global warming increase comparable with the 1800’s. Our planet is changing rapidly, climatic devastation and socio-economic instability caused by numerous earthquakes, severe flooding, forest fires and massive oil spill off the coast of Mexico costing tax payers billions in coastal damage, also creating a dead sea zone that may take up to 40 years to replenish itself.

Russian heat wave in July 2010 costing 15 billion GDP, a wake up call to the rest of the world concerning agricultural instability affecting a nation under the mercy of climatic devastation and infrastructural damage. Forest fires create a dense smog  that makes breathing almost impossible, heat waves have serious impacts on national economies, particularly agricultural output and national security. Severe flooding and water contamination in Bangladesh along with devastating earthquakes around the globe in 2010. July 2010 Pakistan floods caused by record breaking monsoon rains exceeded 13.8 million which is more than the combined total of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake.

The UN is launching a 460 million aid package to assist Pakistan with basic clean water, medication and food. This could happen to any country at any given time during these uncertain climatic disorders occurring on our planet yearly. The trend shown in this last year indicates this warming cycle will only increase if humanity continues to abuse mother nature and use up all it’s natural resources. The greatest challenge humanity will face in the near future will be socio-economic security caused by agricultural instability and land erosion affected by global warming trends triggering off Arctic meltdown, severe flooding, intense hurricane activity and increased forest fires.

In order to further understand and investigate «Global Warming» we need to understand the human psychological element and instinctive primal behaviour patterns that result in perilous human actions affecting our entire planet and the entire human race

Homo Sapiens  from the Latin word meaning, « Wise Human » or known human are bipedal primates in the family of hominidae, DNA evidence indicates modern humans originated out of Africa about 200,000 years ago. Modern humans have a highly developed brain, capable of abstract reasoning, language and problem solving.  This brain capability, combine with an erect body carriage that frees the forelimbs « Arms » for manipulating objects, has allowed humans to make far greater use of tools than any other species.  Human populations are distributed all over the world, the human population on Earth is greater than 6.7 billions, as of July 2008.  Like most primates, humans are social by nature, they cooperate with each other, learn and compete in groups or families, they also take care of each other.

Humans have established a variety of traditions, rituals, ethics, values, social norms, and laws, forming the bases of society.  They also create complex social structures for business and pleasure.  Humans also have established an appreciation for beauty and aesthetics, which, combine with the desire for self expression, leading the cultural innovation such as art, literature, poetry and music. 

Humans are noted to influence this desire of seeking and manipulating natural materials and using philosophical ideologies and expressions that form in to art, literature, religion, science and mythologies.  This natural diversity has lead to the development of advance technologies and skills that have brought us great innovation, the over all side-effects of this abundant knowledge has also brought us a modern curse called Global Warming.

Humans naturally pass down knowledge from generation to generation, in order that the next generation survives by manipulating new ideologies and then transforming them into new technology or tools for survival.  This curiosity goes back to the time when man  first created fire, man must have burned himself several times before he got things right.  Man’s blinded ego drawing attention unto himself in order to create and imitate natures vast power. Man mirrors himself as a god like creature but the true image of Man may actually be quite scary, only to find out in a reflected reality that he is just another  primate species acting in the same way all other species function, sleeping, eating, mating and finding shelter.

These basic needs for survival are inherit in all animals with lesser intelligence, therefore man has masked his true nature and identity that sets himself apart from nature and the beast, only to live in a plastic bubble of intelligence that ignores the rest of the planet and all it’s species. This God-like, ego-expressionism of the human conscious mind has taken humanity beyond the natural boundaries of simple existence.  Human intelligence by itself is just another life form created by mind to express itself through materialistic action and form in order to survive itself  from the lack of understanding death and it’s real meaning. The ritual cycle of creation and religion only imitating God’s first born likeness of man and the self-conscience being, therefore man is trying to  immortalize himself by reaching out to extend himself to God the creator by imitating God’s natural order through science and religious comprehension.

Man has to surround himself in this Demi-God, ego-syndrome by imitating the power of nature in order to defy death, immortalized in the likeness of an eternal God  This ignorant behaviour will result in the demise of the human species because it cannot imitate God’s true nature or repair God’s kingdom, we can only imitate His handy work.  Each artificial imitation of nature manipulated by man has certain defects, one of these side effects in our modern day crisis is carbon monoxide pollution and planetary contamination. Modern man has to accept the fact that he is not God and not the ruler of this planet but only an animal created by God living amongst other animals that are required to be respected and protected.  It is true in Genesis that God gave man dominion to rule the Earth, in this case scenario it has not worked very well for humanity, 50,000 species are going extinct yearly and  the entire planet is in toxic distress. When will we ever learn as a species to respect life and the planet we live in that gave us birth and nourishment ?.

Homo Sapiens are defined as being modern primate species that are living on Earth not only affecting themselves but also all other life forms on this planet.  Nation master.com defines Homo Sapiens as, « Human beings that are defined variously in biological, spiritual and cultural beings.  Biologist classify human beings as Homo Sapiens (knowing man), a primate species of mammal with a highly developed brain, belonging to the family of great apes, along with chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas and oranqutans. Theologians describe human beings in spiritual terms, using various concepts of soul which, in religion, are understood in relation to divine powers of beings, in mythology, they are also often contrasted with other humanoid races. »

Anthropologists define humans by their use of language, their organization in complex societies, and their development of technology, and especially by their ability to form groups and institutions for mutual support and assistance. Technology has taken over man’s co-existence  and balance with nature, man has to realize he is only just another primate that needs to be close to nature, without it humanity is lost and doomed. 

Here is a quote from Un-cyclopedia  « Human beings are a disease of the species Homo Sapiens, that means hairless monkey’s .  They spread to an area and they multiply and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed, they spread all over the globe like a virus. »  Tone Lock has been quoted on saying, « To assume humans to be slaves to so intelligent an entity as the prehistoric cockroach would be to doubt the inherent sense of equality and infinite wisdom characterized by it’s species.  The roach would not allow itself to have slaves. Roaches were probably more like gods to human. »

We find Homo Sapiens are the most endangered species on the planet, as their natural habitat is being destroyed by those with higher brain functions.  Modern climatic changes are dominated by human ignorance and influence, which are now large enough to exceed the boundaries of natural variability.  The main source of global change is, human induced industrialization pollutants affecting our atmospheric and planetary composition, this is the result of excess CO2 car emissions and the use of outdated wood and coal-burning nations that are still in use to provide heat for cooking and shelter

Although there has been a carbon reduction action plans in progress monitoring and understanding global warming reduction policies.  What still remains is, tougher government protection policies securing agricultural and toxic control programs, scientific, technological and institutional impediments that require pre-planning by adapting to the modern world and mitigating the effects of climate change.  It is clear that these new policies and changes will manifest positive results in the reduction of CO2 pollution affecting extreme hot and cold global temperature precipitations along with reducing and monitoring man made waste contaminants entering our oceans.

A decrease in seasonal perennial snow and ice extent, sea levels rising and human over population.  All of these anthropogenic climatic changes are likely to continue for many centuries to come.  Man is still venturing  into the unknown and unpredictable climate uncertainty that lies ahead.  This is why I have come up with the term called Ex-pollution, we need real solutions.  There are unknown climatic x factors, consequences and impacts that may very well be disruptive in comparison to the ways of Neanderthal.  Man has changed this natural and primitive behaviour pattern, taking on this fabricated, man made technological and socio-economic way of life affecting  our environmental carbon print on the entire planet.

These irresponsible primate behavioural patterns have also threatened all living species on this planet including Man. We all have to come together now and battle this on-coming environmental crisis. Humanity created ``Global Warming`` and now a scientific reality, we  have to face the music and deal with it. If we do not change our ways, earth’s basic instinct will change our entire way of life, whether we like it or not. World hold on, this is only the beginning.
