Extreme weather: India and the rest of the world yet to wake up to climate change  (News 9 Live)

August 22, 2022


News 9 Live published an article on climate change. Climate change became a mainstream issue in early 1990, and yet over the three decades, skepticism and foot-dragging by world leaders have worsened the impact, to the extent that lives and livelihoods across the globe are now at stake. The effects of global warming, like symptoms of a deadly disease, are now showing themselves, disrupting normal weather cycles across the world, and causing extreme weather events. The most profound impact of climate change will be on global food availability, as agriculture is the most vulnerable. In the 2022 Global Food Policy Report, experts said, thirty years have passed since the climate change alarm was first sounded. But the world leaders are busy provoking and engineering armed conflicts, while nature has declared war against humankind and is wreaking deadly revenge. The worst is yet to come.
