"We
cannot burn our way to the future. We cannot pretend the danger does not exist
-- or dismiss it because it affects someone else." —Ban Ki-moon
COVID-19
refocused our attention on climate change. Climate change is a major threat
that can extinguish the entire humans. It is visible and happening in smaller
increments as we can see a rise in average yearly temperatures, melting
glaciers, destructive hurricanes, intense wildfires, droughts, and species
extinction.
The
virus was an unpredictable danger while climate change is a predictable danger.
When the world could rise to the unpredictable challenge of the coronavirus,
why it cannot rise to the challenge of climate change? The experience with the
coronavirus indicates that we must prepare strategic plans to save the earth
and humans. Before climate change becomes an unmanageable threat globally, we
must have short-term and long-term strategies to protect the planet. Currently,
we cannot migrate to another planet. Therefore, we don't have any Plan B. We
have only Plan A to protect the earth and save humankind.
The
food we eat is adulterated, the water we drink is contaminated, and the air we
breathe is polluted. It is all because of the exploitation of the earth. The
humans must check their greed. Emphasize balanced growth to lead a meaningful
life.
Time
is running out. We must focus on climate change. Protect earth ensure ecology.
We are accountable to future generations. Parents give their wealth to their
children to ensure safety. Instead, they must hand over safe earth to their
children.
Be
the change. Take action. An integrated effort from all stakeholders including
climate activists, governments, global bodies, thought leaders, intellectuals,
academicians, industry experts, and non-profits is essential to check the climate
change.
Takeaway: We
cannot remain as silent spectators. Things are still under our control. We must
act now to check climate change. Choose the planet over profit.
"The
world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them
without doing anything." —Albert Einstein
