For decades now

We, your children, dear mother earth,

Have been stabbing you 

Each year

Each day

Each hour

Each second

Causing you to bleed profusely, while 

We, indifferent to your suffering, were: 

Watching

Laughing
 
Drinking

Dancing and 

Having a good time

For 

We thought your blood was inexhaustible and

That you would bleed forever, without any consequence on

Our own life

But 

Slowly we came to realize that you are as mortal as
 
We are, subject to the same laws of decay,

A shocking thought was indeed for us

But 

In spite of this realization 

We never stopped hurting;

You
 
Your animals

Your forests
 
Your rivers

Your lakes
 
Your seas
 
Your oceans


You see, dear mother earth,
 
We have sacrificed all you have held dear for

Millions of years to the altar of

Our egoism and that of 

Our vanity


Now,

As we see you lie in your death bed, 

We, your conceited and spoiled children,

Have decided to give you the last chance, 

To stop your bleeding, 

To end your torture and your agony so as to give you
 
Time to recover. 


Yes, we know, 

Our action is not out of magnanimity or of love for you

But mainly out 

Of fear we might destroy our blasphemous species

That has overstepped the limits that our Lord and creator

Has set from the moment of his creation

For that

I for one, on my knees, humbly I plead your
 
Forgiveness for my participation in this horrid and

Macabre crime of Matricide!

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The historic agreement on climate change marked a major milestone on Friday with a record 175 countries signing on to it on opening day.
With the planet heating up to record levels, sea levels rising and glaciers melting, the pressure to have the Paris Agreement enter into force and to have every country turn its words into deeds was palpable at the U.N. signing ceremony.

"The world is in a race against time," U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in his opening speech. "The era of consumption without consequences is over."
