Ethiopia: Fighting Climate Change Is Not a Matter of Choice but Human Obligation
Despite the perils created by climate change over most part of our planet, nations have done very little to effectively tackle the devastating effects of climate change which has already become a threat to the survival of mankind.
Global climate change has resulted in shrinking of glaciers, ice on rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, plant and animal ranges have shifted and trees are flowering sooner. Besides recurrent droughts in many parts of the world including the developed countries shows that the issue of climate change is not a political or ideological agenda. Mankind needs to make a critical and informed choice between unprecedented global disaster which is already threatening human civilization and conceited cooperation to rescue the planet earth from gradual extinction.
Effects predicted by scientists in the past are now occurring including loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level rise and longer, more intense heat waves.
