Ihlane liyindawo eqhelile emvelweni. Abekho abantu abatholakala kude nakude. Kungatholwa abakhempa abambalwa kuphela noma abaqwali. Cishe akekho umuntu ohlala lapho unomphela.
Kubuye kube nzima ukungena ehlane ngoba indawo ngokuvamile ayihambeki futhi azikho izindlela ezifanele eziholela lapho. Okuphambene nehlane yimpucuko: kusho izindawo ezinezolimo, amadolobha, imigwaqo emikhulu, njalonjalo.
Imvelo ehlane ayikathonywa ngumuntu ngendlela efanayo nempucuko. Kuphinde kuthiwe imvelo khona “ayikathintwa”. Endle, ungathola izinhlobo zezilwane ezingasatholakali kwenye indawo. Ezinye zalezi zilwane, njengengwe yaseSiberia, zithembele ezintweni eziphilayo ezingaphazanyiswa endle. Babengakwazi ukuphila empucukweni.
Njengoba ihlane elandayo lishabalala, eziningi zalezi zilwane zisongelwa. Ezinye izilwane ziye zashabalala ezindaweni ezithile. Ukushabalala kwehlane nakho kunomthelela ekuguqukeni kwesimo sezulu. Uma kunezihlahla ezimbalwa, zingaphinda zibophe i-carbon dioxide encane.
Emazweni amaningi, izindawo eziwugwadule zivikelwe uhulumeni. Imvelo kufanele ihlale injengoba injalo. Omunye ube esekhuluma ngesiqiwu noma ngesiqiwi. E-USA, igama elithi “ihlane lombuso” laziwa nangokuthi ipaki kazwelonke.
Ihlane litholakala ikakhulukazi eNyakatho naseNingizimu Melika, e-Asia, e-Oceania nase-Afrika. EYurophu, zisatholakala kakhulu ezingxenyeni ezincane ze-Alps noma enyakatho ekude, njengaseNorway noma e-Iceland. Ngaphandle kwalokho, iYurophu yakhiwe ngokuminyene. Ngakho awukho kude ngempela nedolobha elilandelayo noma umzila wethrafikhi. Esinye sezizathu zalokhu ukuthi iYurophu isinezimboni isikhathi eside kunamanye amazwekazi futhi incane uma iqhathaniswa nobukhulu benani labantu.
Akucaci kahle ukuthi liyini ihlane. Indawo yemvelo engahlali muntu kufanele ibe nkulu ukuze ibizwe ngokuthi ihlane. Ukuthi inkulu kangakanani inqunywa isimo lapho indawo itholakala khona.
