The Earth is devastated by an all out world-wide nuclear war. Only ten people survive and must hide in an underground tunner to survive and restore mother earth in the future. Problem is, the tunnel can only accomodate 9 people so one must be eliminated from the list of 10 survivors below:
34 yr-old Priest
65 yr-old old man
27 yr-old pregnant woman
12 yr-old female student
22 yr-old female artist (painter/musician)
32 yr-old male scientist
34 yr-old athlete
37 yr-old sumo wrestler
18 yr-old ballet dancer
60 yr-old carpenter
Who will you choose? Why?

So, is the greenhouse effect bad? If there’s too much of its effect, like what we’re experiencing now then it is bad. Extreme examples of this can be found in the planet Venus wherein the it suffocates from its own atmosphere of greemhouse gases like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and others. Of course when the opposite happens, our planet will be too cold life as we know it would find it very very hard to thrive and flourish.
Now on to ozone depletion. We all know that up in our atmosphere, is a layer of gases the provide us with an extra yet very important protection from the harmful radiation from the sun and space, it’s the ozone layer. Ozone in the earth’s stratosphere is created by ultraviolet light striking oxygen molecules containing two oxygen atoms (O2), splitting them into individual oxygen atoms (atomic oxygen); the atomic oxygen then combines with unbroken O2 to create ozone, O3.

So what does it all mean? How it will affect us? This is what I meant by ‘like watching those doomsday or end-of-the-world programs or movies.’ Our present generations have never acutally experienced a flipping of the earths’s magnetic field. It happens every thousands of years and when it does, something weird and nearly catastrophic happens.
Aside from ending the summer beach parties, animals who rely on the magnetic field for finding their way around the planet would be cofused or lost or go berserk. Worldwide power blockouts would occur because before a flip, the magnetic field weakens and disappears for a moment and so power grids would be affected by the incoming radiation from space. All of these are just predictions and experts say it may not lead to total catastrophe and chaos but we will be affected by the flip one way or another. It is also comforting to know that a complete flip would take 2,000 years and by that time, we would be prepared for any consequences…hopefully and if calculations are correct.
