Come to think of it, while many are of
the opinion that increase in human activities are the cause of rise in global mean
temperature, others are of the opinion that the rise in atmospheric temperature
is cyclical and a normal occurrence in the solar system. The divide is even
manifested in the opinions of experts. The later school of thought argues that
it is the increase in solar radiation that results in increase in human activities
down here on Earth and not the other way round. In any case the heat is on. How
do you get around it? The following are some suggestions:
When the heat is on one sweats a lot
to contain the heat. Sweating means one is losing vital body fluid. The body
fluid being lost needs to be replaced so one can continue to contain the heat. To
replace your body fluid one needs to take more fluids in proportion to body
fluid being lost. Examples of the fluids your body needs are water, packaged fruit
juices, fresh fruits like coconut, pineapples, mangoes, watermelons etc.
Avoid wearing clothes that retain
heat. Cotton for example should be preferable. If you like tanning your body in
sunlight be careful not to burn your skin or get skin cancer.
However, ultimately, we must look at
the big picture, in spite of the doubt, it is becoming clearer that it is
because of gases like carbon dioxide we are releasing into the atmosphere
through our activities here on Earth that is turning the lower atmosphere into
an oven. Let us turn on a sustainable lifestyle to tackle this fundamental
issue head on.
