Climate change

There is no other way to cope with the climate change disaster other than to fight against global warming unitedly. It’s the need of the hour to adopt concrete measures collectively to save the coming generations and the world (“Fast-moving wildfire kills at least 6 as it razes Hawaiian town,” Aug.10, Gulf Today website).

According to the report, a wildfire that turned a historic Hawaiian town to ashes killed at least six people, officials said on Wednesday, with desperate residents jumping into the ocean in a bid to escape the fast-moving flames. US Coast Guard officers plucked at least a dozen people from the water as emergency services were overwhelmed by a disaster that appeared to have erupted almost without warning. “We are still in a search and rescue mode and I’m sad to report that just before coming on this, it was confirmed we’ve had six fatalities,” Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen told a press conference.

If there’s a will there’s a way. The world has faced many deadly situations unitedly and came out victorious. I firmly believe that the world’s powerful countries have the power to cope with climate change along with underdeveloped countries.
