Massive change in climate
Md. Mehedi Hassan Ibrahimpur, Dhaka
During the last few years, a massive change in global climate has become the issue of concern to the climate specialists. According to them, the change is more rapid than their earlier prediction. As a result of global warming, the melting of ice sheets is on the rise in Greenland and the Antarctica. The sea level is increasing currently, which is an alarming piece of news for Bangladesh, like many others low-lying countries. In such a condition, the specialists are concerned to created worldwide consciousness on the upcoming disaster. But here the question is, what steps are being taken in Bangladesh? During the previous years, a short period of winter and a long duration of summer and various natural catastrophes alerted us about the unpredictable future. But a massive change in climate and the rapid deforestation in Bangladesh show the lack of concern about the problem. An enormous tree plantation programme must be undertaken to counter the menace. The countries that might face the wrath of nature have to prepare themselves to take the sting out of it.
