Our planet is doomed with leaders like this

Anyone who watched BBC television’s recent Panorama programme Britain’s Wild Weather will realise there is a climate crisis (unlike reader Colin Bullen, who refers to the Green lobby as ridiculous eco

warriors).

In fact, it is believed that the rapid climate change we are experiencing will prove to be far more dangerous to humanity than the Covid-19 virus.

The devastating wildfires in Australia and California, costing many people their lives and homes, while billions of wild creatures were killed or injured, made TV news hard to watch.

We had, in the UK last summer, 146 wildfires during the hottest weather ever recorded.

Added to that were the floods in Yorkshire where streets became raging rivers causing irreparable damage to people’s homes.

The eroding cliffs in Hemsby, Norfolk, caused houses to collapse due to rising sea levels.

These frightening weather events were forecast in the Bible but they are not an act of God, they are man-made.

There are far too many cars on the road.

Pretty front gardens concreted over to park these huge monsters, leaving nowhere for rainwater to go.

But the biggest cause of global warming is the destruction of the rain forests to grow farm animal feed, making factory farming the biggest threat to our beautiful planet and its creatures.

Colin Bullen, by calling those trying to save the planet, fanatics, is in denial like Donald Trump and Brazil president, Bolsonaro.

If leaders and the public refuse to change, then I believe our planet is doomed to irreversible

destruction. Vivien Clifford
