Akukho mntu unokuthi iintlango zinokusongelwa, akunjalo? Kodwa inyani kukuba bayindawo ethe-ethe ngakumbi ngaphezu kokuba sinokucinga. Izityalo, izilwanyana kunye nabantu abaqikelelwa kwizigidi ezingama-500 ezihlala kule mimandla ziye zaqhelana nemozulu yentlango.
Kodwa ukuba amaqondo obushushu ayaqhubeka enyuka, ubomi babo buya kuba sengozini enkulu.
Ngokwengxelo ye-UN yokusingqongileyo (i-UNEP), kwisithuba esisusela kowe-1976 ukuya kowama-2000, iqondo lobushushu leentlango lenyukile phakathi ko-0 ukuya kwiidigri ezimbini kwi-centigrade, ngokwahlukileyo kwiidigri ezingama-0 iphakanyisiwe kwiplanethi yonke. Iziphumo zegreenhouse zibangela imbalela ethe kratya kwaye ithathe ixesha elide, yiyo loo nto imvula esele iphantsi iya isiba mbalwa.
Ezona ntlango zichaphazelekayo yiKalahari eAfrika, kunye neAtacama eChile. Kuzo zombini ungabona ukuba ubomi buzama njani ukuphila. Kodwa ayingabo bodwa abachaphazelekayo. Ukuncipha kwamanzi kubangela ukuba yome imilambo, njengomNayile wase-Egypt, okanye iColorado e-United States. I-UNEP ilumkisa ukuba ukuba Ukukhutshwa kwegesi eluhlaza, unikezelo lwamanzi luya kuchaphazeleka kakhulu, lubeka impilo yabemi beentlango, kunye nezityalo nezilwanyana zabo emngciphekweni.
Ukuba siyaqhubeka nokusebenzisa kakhulu amanzi aphantsi komhlaba, senza iziseko zophuhliso, okanye iindawo zoqeqesho lomkhosi, sinokuyitshintsha imbonakalo yomhlaba ngokupheleleyo. Ngaphandle kwayo yonke into, uKaveh Zahedi, usekela-mlawuli weZiko loLondolozo lweHlabathi (i-UNEP), utsho njalo Iintlango zinokuba zizityalo zamandla kule nkulungwane, ukongeza ekusebenzeni njengezokhenketho, okanye nasekufumaneni amayeza amatsha anokuphucula ubomi babantu.
