Teacher's teacher

As an instructor of Peace Education, the upcoming Climate Change Summit in Copenhagen is supposed to be a gathering I would like to be in. This is wishful thinking and so from where I am based, I will give it my all to follow. With CNN's plan to hear your question through You tube, consider me as one of your listeners and viewers.

Do share with Teacher's teacher your own view about Climate Change. The succeeding blogs will revolve around this most relevant and timely Key Issue that affects all of us here and now and in the future.

Climate Change? Change of Weather condition that surprises everyone. It is not usual to have very warm day one moment then rain after few hours and early in the morning, very cool one trembles and hides under a warm big blanket. Morning comes and while it does not rain, the temperature makes those people with sinusitis, yours truly as one of them, sneezing most of the time.

So many factors cause this phenomenon called Climate Change but am sure, man's disregard for proper garbage disposal and burning of plastic and other non-biodegradable materials and cutting of trees without planning for re-planting have to have repercussions sooner or later. The time for repercussions has finally arrived. This summit may be a little late but anything for Mother Nature nothing can ever be too late.

One views CNN and we read about Iran's nuclear power. Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt say they also have plans to build their own nuclear weapons. Ordinary mortals are left tongue-tied and as a teacher, this information must be disseminated to young people for further deliberation.

Some points to share: With all the calamities and crises that beset mankind, is the nuclear program the best course of action? We have only one earth so we only have to put on the tv to see for ourselves how interconnected we are with each other. It is not too long nor too difficult to come to a realization that should the nuclear weapons fall into the wrong hands or a certain power-hungry prime minister or president decide to dominate another country, destruction would be unforgivable.

This leaves the ordinary mortal to what he/.she alone can do from his/her end: Pray, pray and pray for all the world leaders to be enlightened and wake up to the reality that they too are ordinary mortals. To put it
plainly: each of us will be accountable to the Creator who appointed us stewards not destroyers of His creation.
