The report is not based on facts but based on fiction. On seeing such reports, recently I broughtout an article based on historical data on the 2018 disasters. The article is: Role of Climate Change on Recent Weather Disasters" by Dr. S. Jeevananda Reddy Acta Scientific Agriculture 2.4 (2018): 22-29 -- Editorial Office of the Journal elected this article as "Best Article of the Issue". Also see my latest book [2nd Edition of my book published in 1993]: Agroclimatic/Agrometeorological Techniques: As Applicable to Dry-land Agriculture in Developing Countries, Brillion Publishing, New Delhi, 2019, 372p.

Climate change is a burning issue at the global level. It is important to chart out geographical specific action plans and it implement it region-wise.

This is the one issue in the world that needs immediate attention. Stopping all the wars would be the first step. A gallon of jet fuel will combine with 23 pounds of oxygen and generate 20 pounds of CO2

There is an international movement at the moment: students everywhere go on strike once a week to ask their governement to act and change politics in order to protect the planet ans slow down global warming. Please share with students and schools around you! Here are two articles. There is an international action in Mid March https://www.euractiv.com/section/climate-environment/news/scientists-tell-belgian-school-kids-on-climate-strike-youre-right/ https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/nov/30/climate-change-strike-thousands-of-students-to-join-national-protest

We have witnessed that the weather is increasingly becoming harsher which is directly related to ecological destruction, hence I support the petition.

It is always appropriate that a Parliamentary Committee considers in detail such crucial bills before they are put to vote.

The Climate Change and disastrous Global Warming damning effects are irreversible but we can all choose to hold hands together and push forward and delay the ramifications.... Join in NOW, sign up and propagate widely with your contacts and friends ..

This is urgent. Civilisation is at stake. Let us be the generation that changed the course of history, not the one that consumed the planet.

Each one should come out of fossil fuel trap which looks like ready to access free conventional energy. Already accumulated CO² Anna other GHG emissions in and around mother planet Earths atmosphere crossed 850 billion tonnes in last 250 years... More over it is reached peak by annual 50 billion tons GHG emissions. If the world humanity without CLIMATE CHANGE sense continuous with same production of emissions within a 17 years small period only that is less than in one generation, we will produce more 850 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions and and release the same into the atmosphere of the earth. Definitely it will cause 4°C raising in Earth temperature on pre industrial revolution of 1750s Earth.
