Global Warming
Recent earth hour where the whole world shows its support for anti global warming by swtiching thier lights and air con off for a period of an hour to show thier support a cooler earth caused by Global warming. Many people if you ask them, what causes global warming, many would say deforestation, release of excessive greenhouse gas like carbon dioxide and methane contributed by combustion and biogas creation like methane from Cows... well.... the whole world and leaders have been putting an effort to reduce such problems which causes global warming, which in turn causing the earth to function in a weird way like weather and climate which ecology can be affected... Such focus is only 30% of the earth as earth land mass is 30% land and 70% ocean...
Many people will not know actually the Ocean is the biggest earth support system which also do its part by regulating the climate on earth? and also converting carbon dioxide to oxygen in terms of carbon cycle? such cycle the main contirbutor is the planktons found in oceans around the world... the current state of the earth which is in the state of global warming can be caused by excessive reduction of planktons in the ocea... ahhhhh why?
Many people on the earth especially Chinese love to eat or drink shark fin soup... i do admit in the past i do that too but now no longer.... Shark fin soup has been sought after as food of luxury that by eating it shows dat u are quite well off.. and shark fin soup is a delicacy for the emperor which is a royalty food.. therefore, due to the boom in population of chinese and and sharkfin soup made common to people... plus non chinese finding the soup is delicious (is the soup not the fin cos the fin has no taste at all! just add texture like having pearl in ur bubble tea). Due to such high and increasing demand now... ppl have been shark finning non stop as it brings a lot of money to them if the shark fin... therefore in places where sharks are present and the ppl in the area are poor.. due to money pressure... they shark fin to survive and in turn prosper... as a result... the world looses 90% of the shark population due to such killings and such killing is cruel... imagine someone thinks dat ur ear is delicious... they cut it off and throw u away... pretty inhuman right? yeapz this is what is happening to the sharks due to shark finning.... as such huge reduction... the ecology system is unbalanced... which will reduce the plakton count due to the reduction of such ocean predator....
Sharks are not as ferocious as we thought... the no. of ppl killed by lions or elephants are even higher than sharks according to statistics.... even shark attack fatality rate is less than a person being crushed by a vending machine... therefore i was wondering why saving the shark is not popular.... and earth hour is being well recevied by the public... think about it... earth hour control the earth surface only 30% ... saving the sharks control the earth surface 70%... as a result... think they should introduce a world wide campaign to educate ppl not to eat shark fins and lets try 1 yr no eating shark fin... all wedding dinner ban shark fin.... and sevrely punish shark finners.... After watching Sharkwaters for the 2nd time at my new house... and the on going earth hour... puts me in deep thoughts....
Come on save the sharks... you can do this to stop global warming which covers 70% of the earth life support system... and the earth has more oxygen and less greenhouse gas.... do your part... stop consuming shark fin and put pressure on shark finning...
