Premonition of Alfred Hitchcock

Way back in 1955, the ‘Alfred Hitchcock presents’ sitcom aired an episode on the increase in violence and deaths in the city directly connected to the increase in earth temperature. The people’s mind in the hot climate is temperamental waiting for stoke to hound other person. This formed the crux of the episode which aired under the title ‘Shopping for death’ in the FX crime channel.

In some sort of a weird coincidence, recently, a study found the rise in temperature level of earth can trigger sporadic violence and conflicts among people. This could be significantly visible in the tropical country due to its climatic conditions. The other startling revelations are the rise of 2 degree Celsius of earth temperature by 2050, the increase in ethnic violence and clashes among people.

The study appears to be a rehash of the episode, or else, may be this study is being churned for time and again to remind the adversity on its way of people’s life.  It’s visible the temperature and climatic conditions of our place, region and the country showing variable changes.

Likewise, we could see the unhappiness growing among people globally and ostensibly visible in Egypt, Syria, Turkey, and the African countries as they are in the middle of the ensuing civil wars. When the women of Turkey instructed to refrain from modern clothes irked the Muslim country which resulted in an uproar. The Syrians fight against decade-long dictatorship after following suit of Egyptians.

The people of Alaska regret following American lifestyle after the inhabited place looks no longer habitual for sustenance. The increased sea level submerged the land in the island and believed to disappear from the face of earth in another few years.

Back at home, the growing division among the states, people on the lines of castes, religion and money are starkly visible. The long rule of mismanagement of government gets highlighted in recent years, with the people demanding out rightly for the safety and security of fellow citizens.

The masses wield arms to stall the commissioning of nuclear power plant, to vent out anger on a community after an inter-caste marriage of adults, fighting for statehood, demanding the repeal of draconian laws and institution- sedition and AFSPA. The ever growing unsatisfied heaps spew fury and venom on the society by harming innocents.

Apart from this, another study claims the draining of resources forms a bone of contention for the future conflicts. When things look chaotic and unsatisfied, there are few people who work to combat the crisis in the future.

The researchers around the globe engaged in finding an alternative to the mainstream. A crew involved in developing a water-free public toilet for future as the source of water depleting at a faster rate compared with its repletion. Germans replaced their Volkswagen with electric cycles and are ready to close down nuclear power plants by 2025. Along with them there are large numbers of environmentalists around globe who are striving to bring back the earth from the verge of being inhabitable place.

All these events don’t boil down to the usual question on preponderance of good over evil, but how we are going to save ourselves before resorting to the last hope, abdication of earth.
