In my last post I indicated that my
friend and I were talking about the issue of the unusual intensity of solar
radiation in our times. I assigned a cause to the situation we find ourselves
in. In this post I am going to touch on the effects of Otsokrikri (hot weather).
Living organisms were designed to live
comfortably under certain conditions including temperature levels. My friend
and I did complain about the temperature level because it was above normal temperature
level, and was making us uncomfortable. The following are two of the effects of
the unprecedented hot times planet Earth is being subjected to:
EVAPORATION
Because of hot weather water bodies
lose water. In fact hot weather leads to the drying up of water bodies. Water
bodies contain living organisms, with water as their medium of life. Depriving
them of water is depriving them of their lives. Whole communities depend on
water bodies to get their potable water. Water bodies drying up deprives those
communities of a basic necessity such as water.
DEHYDRATION
The constitution of the human body is
largely water. In hot weather, as planet Earth is experiencing these days, one
sweats a lot thus losing so much water from ones body. If the water lost through
sweating is not replaced, and timeously too, dehydration occurs. I think in
2015 or so heat wave killed some people in India.
Knowing a cause (from my last post) of Otsokrikri and its negative effect on the
natural environment, it is my hope that you and I as humans should review our
activities to reverse the trend we are experiencing.
