I was writing this blog for my another blog space from my uni MMU. It is one of our subject that we need to write our own blog. This will be the second blog for it. As the first blog were just an introduction of my own. So, do you really feel that the climate is changing?
Did you guy feel that the weather in Malaysia or anywhere on earth is changing? Since when i was young, Malacca use to rain twice a week or more than that. And now, i feel that Malacca is getting hotter and hotter. And for my friend that stay in Bukit Beruang also complaining about the weather is getting hotter and hotter. It is very hard to stay in the room at the afternoon, as for my friend told me was like they are in the oven. With this weather, it is very hard to concentrate in study. Even very hard to get a good nap as you will keep sweating.. Did you agree with me ? For those who have air-conditioner at home might disagree with me. And some of you will disagree with me that they can go to the library for the coolness in the library.
As for my thinking, does tree really affect the weather? Will it be more tree and the weather is more cooling? For me, the answer is yes. Just like in the jungle, although the sun is high up in the sky but u wont feel as hot as you are in the room. Past two year CNY, my family were gather in Rumah Rehat Adeline (Adeline’s Rest House) at Kampung Geruntum near Sungai ltik, just 7 Km from the Perak town of Gopeng. Is a very nice place for teenager to go there and have some activity. In the afternoon, the weather is hot. But when the wind blow it feels cooling. Tree really affect alot in the weather. May be i will shared another experience with you all. Past 8 year, my neightbour plant a few mango tree inside his yard. As the tree gets big, his house is very cooling in the afternoon. May be of the tree already blocking the sunlight to shine onto the wall and keep the house cooling. And it also make my own house feel confortable a little bit. In the year 2007, my neighbour shifted out and sold the house to another person. They chop off the tree just to make the house bigger. As for me i feel what a waste. And now it really feel hot and i have to switch on the air-cond. Other than my house, let me talk about the housing area (or taman) which i live in. Every month i can see people chopping down the tree just to get free from the dropping of tree leafs. Other than that were the TNB (Tenaga National Berhad) worker chopping part of the tree just to prevent the tree branch tangle with the electricity cable. I know it is hard to build the electricity cabel without blocking the tree growth. If the cabel is on top of the tree, the branch will do the damage to it. If they build it underground, the tree root with do the damage. As for the engineer, we need to find a solution. Beside that, the same goes to MMU. The tree inside MMU malacca where also been chop off. I heard from some of the people is about the root getting bigger and break the cement or building.
Well, why i say climate is changing ? This is because of the climate around the world is going abnormal. The ice at the north pole is melting everyday. Past CNY, i have a chance to work in a fruit stall. There were tourist that came to buy fruits. So i will always ask them where they were from. There is one couple from Canada, the reason for them to have a tour was to escape from the weather. They told us that the weather there reach until -45 Celsius. Beside Canada, United State (New york) the temperature was - 16 celcius. And they say it was never happen in the past. And last year in Thailand, the weather also reach to nearly zero celcius. Is the world climate going to change?
As for me, i still really think that we should save the earth right now. As the media is strongly advice everyone to take action on it. If your home has a little piece of land and is available to plant a tree, go for it. Beside getting better environment, we also can get some fruit to eat if you plant a fruit tree. Beside that, lets talk a little bit about pollution, planting a tree will also help a little bit on air pollotion. Air pollution is getting worst and worst lately. It was cause by open firing. May people that live in urban area, they use to burn their garbage and use to repel mosquitoes. In Indonesia, they burn their jungle to clear the land so that it is the easiest way to clear it and it can also serve as fertilizer to the ground. For me, this act have to stop by taking action on it. But it need to depend on their government. Well, i would like to say let’s start to save the earth for the future generation.
