The most powerful president in the world denied the existence of climate change ~ 2017
The world is facing a greater-than ever challenge of unseen changes in climate patterns, those which will affect the entire population of humans in coming decades. At the same time, policymakers at the highest level in the government are not ready to take this issue seriously. To make the matter worse, they are denying the existence of this issue. The scientists did their best in investigating and presenting the data which confirmed the evidence required for accepting climate change as a real issue. The findings were real and the existence of problem was confirmed by multiple researchers.
In short, it went through all the stages of scientific inquiry. Yet, there has always been a hesitation in accepting climate change as a factor when it comes to policy-making. As if it was not enough, the provisions already present in the policy are being dismantled.. This is the beginning of a dark era for the earth..
What can we do about it? The first and foremost is to understand the issue ourselves. One needs to understand and comprehend the enormity of this issue. Also, we need to act at THIS very moment, As responsible global citizens, we must voice our concerns to the government.
Now, the government needs to look for FACTS and EVIDENCES rather than OPINIONS when they make the policies. Unless science has a place in policy-making, we cannot expect that the voice of climate-change activists will be heard. Sometimes, we need to break our silence and be open about our fears. Because, inaction has never led to giving any solution for a problem.
What we do today will decide what will happen to the next generations. We have time, We have energy. Trust me, we can take the power without getting divided!
