“In spite of us humans being the most intelligent of all species that have roamed this vulnerable planet of ours, we might end up being the ones to destroy it”Never has the temperatures been as high and will only get worse to become the new normal.We are witnessing flooding in desert cities where there used to be very little rain and agricultural lands in countries with enough rain becoming parched like ours.
The scorching temperatures the past few weeks is now wreaking havoc to our agriculture, power supply, education, and productivity.Why don’t we just do a rain dance?It is really a shame that in spite of all the natural disasters that strikes the country every year, we have not done our homework and prepared to mitigate the adverse effects that climate change will do to our country’s well-being.
Developed economies also refused to stop using coal for power generation ensuring that climate goals will not be attained as scheduled.It is, therefore, all but certain that global temperature will go up by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius before this century is over.The biggest losers are developing countries like us but those countries in the South Pacific whose lands are now being swallowed by the ocean due to rising sea level are in a much worse predicament.
