Economic growth is not tantamount to development. In South Asia they have focused on fast digit growths of the economy without thinking about the people of the country. When the children are weak and less likely to live wont the economy they are building crumble? what the governments of those regions should do is to channel the resources gained in the improvement of the lives of the people.

Climate change and you

Do you know that there is something like climate change? Probably NO! But do you know that the earth is warming? kind of or YES, have learnt it in my geography and science class.

Fine, the cause of global warming is climate change, and it is not only that it causes. The sea level is rising, the desert is encroaching on formerly green lands, water bodies are drying up, violent winds actions are occuring, the glaciers are melting etcetera, etcetera.

The negative impacts of all these are appalling! Many people are dependent on climate change, it determines the source of food of many!

Still wont agree with me? Okay what will you say of the water scarcity in your country? You dont have? Then you are from a developed country. In my own country water has become more precious than gold. Rainfall is now unstable, and our agricultural activities depend on it for water, see? How is the climate affecting you? Let's tallkk.
