Chapter 1 The Beginnings

Global warming is now one of the main issue discussed in every corner of the world. This occurence however had actually existed hundred of years beforehand. Some of causes of global warming includes overused of carbon monoxide, or the thining of the ozone layer due to Chloroflorocarbon; generated from the use of air-conditioners.

However there is one major cause beside all of that; one that started the occurence of global warming in the first place. This activity was held way back even during the time of the Mesolithic Period, and became even more prominent during the begining of civilization. The humans during those times were ignorant of the very fact that they were actually harming their very own mother Earth. The cause i am refering about is 'DEFORESTATION'.

The only difference between them in the past and us in the present is the tools we used and how large the scale of deforestation done. Thousands of years ago they were using axes and maces, but we are using our so-call-time-consuming-and-safe technology to do all the work. But if we look into it deeper, the truth is we're only leading to our own doom by relying on those technologies.
