Save our earth

American President Donald Trump has blamed India and China for his decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord. Trump's outburst over this issue is unfortunate and should be dealt with in a sensible manner.

Some time ago, a school of whales had been stranded and died on the Tiruchendur beach in Tuticorin in Tamil Nadu, India. And this incident has demonstrated how threatened the marine life is. Various reasons including climate change have been blamed for this unfortunate incident. So it is important to find out the actual reason behind the event.

For sure, the fact that the natural habitats of the aquatic life and environment must be protected at all costs has been proved through this incident. Also, the monsoon vagaries are not only a cause for concern but also a chance to think over some strategies. The natural phenomena like El Nino and La Nina are nothing but the results of global warming.

It is also to be noted that the present global economic slowdown (coupled with climate change) is a big threat to the interests of all nations. The world should come forward to resolve the issue of gas emission that is playing havoc with the aspects of monsoon.
