THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW



  I don't know whether to call it a coincidence but there couldn't have been a better time for "The Day After Tomorrow" to be featuring on Star Movies demonstrating the extreme weather conditions and the somehow exaggerated but possible consequences of the deranged conditions of today. 
Having just a tiny bit or absolutely no idea of how the climate is making it's mind to change, but I can't possibly deny the catastrophic conditions all around the planet. Every part is suffering its bit without really knowing whom to blame. 
Supposedly and hopefully the Ice Age will take centuries and maybe a millennium to strike but even then the current state of events in Chennai and all of Tamilnadu experiencing up to a 150% increase in rains than normal , the mining disaster in Brazil destroying cities and rivers, rendering people homeless and jobless, the disappearance of the Kiribaki islands, the absurd drop in temperatures everywhere and the glaciers that have been forever trying to scare us with the threatening melting scale scares me or at least concerns me. 
Then there was a dust storm that caught me yesterday followed by continuous heavy rains that trapped people in the nooks of the city disrupting all traffic and power lines. And hence there was a certain degrees drop in the temperature I wasn't comfortable adjusting to. Well, belonging to a place frequented by rains, people don't see rains nor floods as a concern for climate change. Maybe they are innocent rains paying a visit or maybe reminders of our doom. But in places that don't get  much rains that may be a sign to worry about . 
While the 21st Climate Change Conference goes on in Paris on this day, thousands of deaths by lightning in India is discussed. Although, the World Leaders think there are much bigger problems than the climate.They say that the climate has been changing forever and it will keep on that way and that we shouldn't be concerned. A host of leaders in the U.S think ISIS is a greater issue than Climate Change. Some of them maybe got confused between weather and climate and others well they are political leaders.
Trains are getting cancelled and airports are closing for undetermined time beings, that pretty much makes a movie scene, doesn't it ? With war, and floods and rains and cold and heat, it scares me like the most of us and puts me with a question. What if all we've been preparing is for a future that doesn't exist. I mean for the Syrian refugees having nothing at all, the people in the Kiribass can't even see the land where they once lived,what do you suppose of a future they are rooting for? 
We have always been inside a safe cocoon and dreaming of luxuries of life and putting aside the slightest possibility of Armageddon to strictly fantasy. The IIIrd World War would start in a century and the sun would burn us up in a million years but it looks like we and our ignorance will pull us to that black hole of darkness much faster than we aspire to.. if we don't really man up now. The winter is coming and its gonna bring along its own set of white walkers too, we need to get some lot of dragon glass if we hope to defeat them.
