A transit country
THE revelation by International Organization for Migration support officer, Lee Yacoumis, that Fiji is the first transit and destination country for men, women and children trafficked for the purpose of sexual and labour exploitation and domestic servitude is not only concerning but the questions we need to be asking is why and how is this happening?
Fiji is also being used as the transit point for hard drugs.
It sure seems like our endeavours for economic development in promoting that we are strategically located in the heart of the South Pacific has attracted undesirables as well.
We have become a transit country for many too willing to do dirty work for easy money.
Testing times!

In other words, carbon dioxide emissions can also be the result of global warming over a period of time.
A warm climate over a long period of time, provides the right environment for flora and fauna to flourish and grow, as well as encourage and stimulate the growth of human population.
Ultimately, all these life and growth potentially increases the production of carbon dioxide which is released into the atmosphere.
So evidently, on a generalised scale, carbon emissions can also be the “effect” of global warming rather than totally its “cause”.

Last year, she began spending her Fridays protesting by herself outside the Swedish parliament, and that effort grew to her leading a host of student-led climate strikes involving millions of people all around the world.
Now that’s a climate change champion if there was a climate change champion. ALLEN LOCKINGTON
