Description

Global Warming, The Polar Bear and The Monkeys is a book that targets young people but the adults who have read it expressed immense pleasure at the contents. The havoc climate change is causing around the world is no longer a secret. This book encourages you to seek ways you can help to fight the monster. The good news is that everybody can help. Seeking ways to help shows your level of commitment to the course. Global Warming, The Polar Bear and The Monkeys can open your eyes to the seen and unseen dangers we face if we fail to act now. Above all, it can awaken you to do something because the reason many people are not taking the matter seriously is because of ignorance. In this battle, there are more than three ways each person can help.

As you listen to or read this book, you will be compelled to act to save the Earth because we do not have another. All the other earth-like planets scientists have discovered are thousands of miles away. It can take two life times to reach some of them. Therefore, the green planet remains our only alternative. We must protect it or lose it. The fate of the earth is in your hands.

This can be acted as a play or adapted for some other forms of study. It is perfect for anyone who loves life and who loves the Earth because without the Earth, no life is possible, at least, physically.

Global Warming, The Polar Bear and The Monkeys is a book that delights the reader and teaches some vital lessons about climate change at the same time. It highlights some causes and consequences of global warming. It shows with examples how catastrophic it could be if we fail to act. It also stresses how each of us can contribute to solve this monster of a problem - men, women and children. The great news is that victory is attainable.

GLOBAL WARMING
THE POLAR BEAR AND THE MONKEYS
Monkey 1
Hey, Monk, do you what I see?
Monkey 2
No two beings dream the same dream at the same time and place.
Monkey 1
(Nodding)
I’m just wondering. Am I hallucinating or something? Are my eyes deceiving me or …?
Monkey 2
What must a rhinoceros be doing on a tree?
Monkey 1
The question is far above me. It beats me hollow.
Monkey 2
Let’s drift a little closer but we must be very, very careful. One can’t be sure with creatures from other worlds. The sea is an entirely different planet .
Monkey 1
You’re right. It’s our closest planet. We must be careful but any land creature that tries to jump like the monks will be ready to lose an arm, a leg or break his or her cervical vertebra.
 
(A mighty Polar Bear standing near a gigantic tree)
 

 
Monkey 2
Tell you something, this is neither a land creature nor a water beast. He’s a dry-sea animal, if you know what I mean.
Monkey 1
I wish I knew what that’s supposed to mean.
Monkey 2
The bottom line is that they’re highly unpredictable.
Monkey 1
All creatures from the sea are like creatures from another galaxy. They’re illegal aliens.
Monkey 2
Hi, Polar?
Polar Bear
(Looks up)
Hi, folks. What’re you guys doing up there? Be careful before you fracture a finger or a toe.
Monkey 2
This is our home. Indeed, it’s more than a home. We don’t have another.
Polar Bear
One moment you’re on the ground, the next moment you’re up. What’s your classification? You neither fly like the birds nor swim like the fish. I don’t seem to pin you anywhere.
Monkey 1
We’re somewhere in-between but up here is our legal abode.
Monkey 2
This is the strangest sight of our age - to see you in a forest. Are you holidaying or hibernating?
Polar Bear
Call it whatever you like. The truth is that I don’t know how I got here. What I know is that things are no longer what they used to be. I’m sore afraid of what may follow. All is not well with all living creatures including you.
Monkey 1
We know you belong to the solid waters.
Polar Bear
That’s where I was born and bred but the world is for us all – the sea, the land and the air. You may not believe it but the earth is taking a bashing. When this is added to the fact that it’s decaying, what may follow is way above our imagination beside the fact that it travels at a speed most of us may not believe. If it slams into any big object or vice versa …
Monkey 2
Could you shed more light on that, please? The dark sayings of you guys from far away countries are often too deep for us to fathom.
Polar Bear
It’s quite simple. There’s nothing deep about it. The first part concerns all of us. There are “stone waters” that have been there before the beginning of time. Some of them are stronger than diamond. You could not break them with a sledge hammer. Do you know what’s happening as I am talking to you?
Monkey 1
Tell us, please. How could we know when some of us are foreign to your region, especially the every cold zone you come from?
Polar Bear
Many of them have melted and are still melting. Whatever human beings did to dissolve them is far, far beyond everything we know or anything we can imagine.
Monkey 1
You, the underwater creatures, are not alone in the systematic annihilation by human folks. Whatever they did to decimate the dinosaurs is still a mystery. Whether it was spiritual or physical, we know that they were instrumental to that great disaster.
Polar Bear
You may not fully understand what is happening to father earth.
Monkey 2
Is it father earth or mother earth?
Polar Bear
Oh no, the mother is long dead. We’re left with the father and that’s who they want to murder.
Monkey 1
Could you explain that a tick? I’m interested in what’s happening to mother earth, yeah, father earth.
Polar Bear
It’s an all-out war, in the air, on land and at sea - everywhere. You may not believe that millions of tiny creatures at sea are all gone. Because many of them are too small, people can’t see them go. There are all dead and there is nothing anybody can do to bring them back. Science or technology is a big moron in this direction. Neither evolution nor steady state can bring them back to us.
Monkey 1
That’s tragic.
Polar Bear
It’s much worse than that.
Monkey 2
Why did that happen? I mean, why did they go extinct?
Polar Bear
There was no oxygen for them, period. Whatever the humans did to sap all the oxygen they needed is what none of us can tell. The sad truth is that it’s on going. One set of creatures vanish after another. Worse than this is the gross transformation going on among the water creatures? Some have lost some vital body parts. The fact is that the changes are diverse and destructive. If it is another process of gradual annihilation, we are yet to know.
Monkey 1
When the equation set by father nature is disrupted, there is bound to be trouble sooner or later.
Polar Bear
That’s right. I’m too tired to shout. I strongly desire to join you guys up there?
(Monkey 1 and Monkey 2 exchange quick glances)
Monkey 2
Climbing is not an easy business but jumping is riskier. If, if you think you can, well, I don’t know.
Polar Bear
There’s no harm in trial. It’s better to die trying than to sit still in hunger.
Monkey 2
Do you really, really want to …?
 
( The Bear begins to climb a tree as the monkeys watch in awe)
 

 
Monkey 1
Take it easy. Don’t rush it.
