Climate Change: Choose Planet Over Profit


 

"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
