The terms "global warming" and "climate change "are used frequently. Are on everyone's lips and usually together in the same sentence. Climate change is caused by global warming and most people accept this explanation, without necessarily understanding. However, it is easier to understand and accept the reality of climate change because it affects us personally. We are all experiencing and living climate disruption. Global warming is not as visible or obvious, especially for people who experience very cold, snow falls huge excess rainwater. In contrast, these disorders are understood as climate change because they are natural or at least had not been considered until recently natural.
Certainly, here in Cuernavaca we have seen changes in our spring weather. The most common phrase when we mean to our city is the expression "the eternal spring." It is more than right at this moment when we see the trees full of flowers, indicating the start of spring. We are currently surrounded by bright colors not only trees but also to different bougainvillea covering the walls in cascades of red, purple, white, pink, orange and yellow. How wonderful is spring! Uplifting us and renews us, filling us with energy and respect for life and nature.
But our spring weather tends to be forgotten in April and May when, for several years, suffer high temperatures. Before Cuernavaca could ever say it was too hot but this is not true. It's easy to find online the temperatures in Cuernavaca and most striking is to realize the heat experienced in the last ten years, or the first decade of the century. The maximum temperature in the month of May every year since 2005 was recorded above 37 ° C. In 2010 the maximum temperature was 38.9 ° C. Considering the average temperature for the month of May, most notably the year again 2010 when an average of 30.1 ° C. Perhaps
for us here in the State of Morelos, it is easier to understand the concept of global warming global temperatures because of exaggerated - not so spring - which are and will be experiencing. However, it is not only temperature but high or low rainwater, severe storms and flooding. They also shape our reality and are clear indications of climate change. We must be prepared than ever to adapt to its consequences.
We are in the middle of March and during a season of drought. If the weather fails us, we will have two months without rain and then, like magic act, you should start to rain in June. However, climate change and we do not have this certainty and, therefore, is very important make responsible use of water we have to prevent further shortages. The intense heat is coming and we need to use only the water you really need and recycle all we can. For the little or much water to come this year, it is essential to be ready and adapt to the situation. We are terribly guilty of abuse of water, consuming far more than we need and wasting it as if it were unlimited. We're going to feel very hot and there is nothing we can do about it, just use our common sense, beware of the sun's rays and adapt to inevitable climate change responsibly.
end with a quote from Jane Goodall, the renowned ethologist British, who said: "Now that we have finally realized the terrible damage we have caused to the environment, we are exaggerating our ingenuity to find technological solutions ... technology alone is not enough. We also need to put the heart. "
