Is it too late for climate solutions? For decades, we have been told that climate change isn¡¯t happening. And there is a mountain of evidence that the business sector lobbied against scientists' findings on climate change. Until recently, there was strong advocacy on this issue. We live in a world where words spoken by any high-profile individual are much more impactful than the real truth. And this trend has been continuing for centuries. The same is implied in the case of climate change. In this issue, the world is completely divided into two equal halves. First, one who thinks and propagates such information about climate change and global warming is some kind of agenda or propaganda by any opposition. And the second one is for those who are well and truly informed about the topic and somewhat predict what will happen in the near future and try to warn about the upcoming seriousness. If we look back in history, the former always wins, but the whole world suffers and starts to realize, appreciate, and value the latter, but it would be too late. Many people have died, proving themselves correct, but they are only taken seriously after their death.  Everything mentioned above perfectly co-relates with the current scenario of combating environmental-related disasters in order to secure the future of our children. But one must remember that light penetrates through the hole, only lighting the darker world. As explained above, we are in a state where the first type of person is almost extinct. And we are on our path to changing their attitudes and eventually changing their behaviors. However, one thing haunts people like me daily. For half a century, we have been well aware and informed about everything relating to the upcoming environmental apocalypse. There were developments, innovations, and commitments made over time, yet our end result was the same. Nothing has been changed, and to make matters worse, we are heading to complete human species annihilation due to an environmental crisis that is the product of our own doing. This is referred to as "eco-anxiety" or "existential crisis." However, after every sunset, there is this belief that tomorrow the sun will rise again. It all depends upon 'hope¡¯. Thus, millions of ordinary people, policymakers, experts, and many others have an aim that even though our ancestors could not afford to live fully in a healthy environment, we will make sure that our descendants will not be deprived of their most important fundamental rights. We all know how to accomplish this so-called unachievable task, and there is only one thing we must do is, ¡°Save NATURE to be saved¡± |
