Climate Change

Amrit Singh, Bau Road

Reading through the past few days' letters to the editor, an issue of climate change has been trending massively. Some are saying positives about COP23 in Bonn which is currently in progress.

But what deceives my eye is people are saying that mother earth is in danger, that the world will end.

I laughed a lot when I read such hideous words.

Let us be reminded that mother earth will never end but we will.

Just like when we have a flu our body raises its temperatur­e to kill the bacteria or virus causing sickness by using our bodies energy so we feel weak. Similarly mother nature is raising her temperatur­e to kill the bacteria that is us the 'HUMANS'.

We are harming her and in return she is raisng her wrath by the rise in temperatur­es so that the appropriat­e population level is maintained.

We humans are mad arent we?

We made fuel out of fossils, we made tobacco to cause cancer, alcohol and all the bad things in this world for greed. Don't complain now and stop saying the world will end.

The world will never end but homo sapiens will.

What needs to be addressed is stop taking risks by doing wrong to mother nature only.

Renewable energy is in abundance. The world has the money to invest, doing meetings will never help the earth. Mother earth must be smiling at us since signs are being shown by her but we are ignorant.

We humans can never change because we are full of greed.
