Things are starting to "heat up"

Here is a post I thought I'd never make, Global Warming! Yes, an issue well heard of.

It all started last night, when the lights go out around 2.30 in the morning so I couldn't sleep and when I woke up I realized that today was Sunday so I can lay like a cow on the bed for as long as I could :) So, I finally left the bed around 3 in the afternoon and opened the door to my balcony and suddenly I felt like I opened an oven. I closed the door and went downstairs, had a good brunch and checked my email on my cell phone during brunch while also thought to give a peak at today's weather. Turned out it was 42 Degrees Centigrade outside, I clicked "update weather" and I was down to 41 Degree Centigrade. It was bit of a shock for me to see such a temperature before even the month of May, so I started worrying about what it is going to be in the summer - typically known as "JunJulai" :)

Anyway, I start Googling, came up with some good material on global warming (on Wikipedia of course). In a nutshell... Global Warming Phenomena is the entrapment of "greenhouse gases" inside the Earths atmosphere. Apparently, the homosapiens (People) are producing all these gases with their industries, cars and all the machinery etc, and all that is getting trapped between the Ozone Layer and the surface of the earth. Which is increasing the temperature of our planet, resulting in melting of both the poles, rising the sea-levels and ultimately inviting the biggest and the most deadliest natural disasters on the planet. Which in theory considers as "the end of the world". :)

However, it is not possible that a theory remains unchallenged any longer than a certain period of time. So, People gathered up and brought together some "arguments" to challenge the global warming theory. Some of those arguments include that there are no evidence that the actions of little creatures like us can effect the temperature of a planet. They say our equipment is "incompetent" or "inadequate" to record or forecast future climate conditions, the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) did not approve of it and some others.

Here is something to read about the arguments against Global Warming...

In fact, they also have come up with a "petition project" for rejecting the Global Warming theory as well... so if you feel like signing up for yourself... be their guest, they'll be lucky to have ya! :)

So, what we get by all this is just that the "outside" is becoming more like the "inside" of an oven and we are fighting over whether we will be the dinosaurs for the next life on the planet or not!

But, for those who believe, knows what's happening...

Bomb Threat at Business Avenue

There has been a bomb threat at Business Avenue at Shahrah-e-Faisal. The building has been evacuated and emergency measures has been taken. Bomb disposal squad is searching for the threat at the moment. The picture was taken at 3 in the afternoon which shows ambulances in front of the building and people waiting outside for any confirm reports. One of the pedestrians humorously told that this is just a rumor spread by someone who needed a day off! Other statements highlighted that the treat was made in 11 in the morning some said the building was evacuated around 2 in the afternoon. People standing outside are getting a bit bored, some anxious and a some grumpy! One young individual said "I don't know what they are trying to do, either let us go home or let us go back to our offices" There are still no confirmed reports of the threat or the threat being neutralized. If you get any updates, please share. Also lets pray that noting really happens, I'm sitting in the bui...

Yellow and Blue is coming!

You might have seen this hoarding all over Karachi by now. Today I thought I should blog about it and see what people think about what it could be. At the top of my head, it stuck me as www.bestbuy.com , some of the teasers do say best buy as well. But some say great vale and some say things about experience. I think the chances for it to be bestbuy.com is pretty great, most of the signs leads us to think that. Specially the color scheme is exactly the same. If not then it will most probably be something digital or onlinr, I suppose. To save me from embarrassment I'd like to hear what you people think of it. :)

Man vs. Market - By Kulsoom (extremely well written)

Original Link: Men vs. Markets : " “He is one of those people who would be enormously improved by death.” By H.H. Munro The above has proven to be correct for Syed Muzzamil Hussain Shah, a young scout who embraced martyrdom on 28th December, 2009 in Ashur procession blast in Karachi. But how many of us remember him? Or do we remember any of those who got killed that day? Off the record over 75 people got killed on that day while participating in the procession. We remember none but burned shops because that’s what being over-run on media. Sometimes significance of material takes over the precious lives. I wonder why and who called lives precious since they are not anymore. We have better things to show and cry over, such as loss of Rs.30 billion, stolen arms, and arguing and blaming political parties. Government of Pakistan announced Rs. 500,000 for the deceased and Rs.100,000 for injured but these funds will take time to arrive in the hand of families. With the increasing infl...
