With this today's small article, I will make you aware about what is the intensity of climate change in the 21st century and how we can control it with the help of whatever science and other methods we have today available. If you will turn on United Nations videos on YouTube, you will find that almost every world leader is talking about climate change, even though in their home country they are not able to show beautiful results. But it's always a continuing procedure for them to come up on the stage, and talk about climate change.
We will talk more about world leaders and their relationship with climate change in a bit. But first of all, let us try to understand what is climate change? In the beginning of 21st century, many scientists across the globe predicted that the world will not be able to survive the catastrophic effects of climate change, which are going to happen in this century. Fast forwarded to 20 years. This year is 2021 and we are already witnessing lot of changes which are not at all pleasant for the world in future. Let's take a look at the country of Indonesia. The capital is Jakarta, but it's not going to be anymore a capital. The government has decided to have a new capital because of the rising water levels around the capital. This is one of the major example of how climate is going to show its adverse effects in the near time. In the country like Maldives, people are very much aware about climate change and so they are trying to make their best way out of it to decrease its adverse effects. But at the end of the day, we need to understand that climate change is not just be controllable by small countries, but the countries which are polluting the air and water. If I will keep on giving you the examples of how climate change has affected different countries across the globe in adverse effects, then probably this article won't be going to find any ending soon.
In the end of this small article, let me take you back towards the life of world leaders with climate change. It is often predicted by different non governmental organizations across the globe that world leaders are not actually trying to make a sense out of climate change. It is often seen that countries like Saudi Arabia, Russia and China are trying to take their steps back in order to increase the profit in their economy because if they will try to take care of climate change as well, then definitely it's going to decrease the number of jobs and also going to create poverty. If we will sit back for a second and will look at their activities, we will come to know that they are doing the best they can do for their country. But at the same time they are not moving their step towards sustainable development. The only thing they are doing towards sustainable development is making the posters and videos to make people aware, but in reality that is not at all sufficient.
Let's take the example of Cop-26 meeting, which was held in Glasgow in November. Countries like Saudi Arabia, China and Russia decided not to attend the meeting in person and they sent their representative officials into the meeting. This was a clear sign from these countries that the climate change is not a priority for them and they are not in position to cooperate with other countries to tackle the issue of climate change.
You might feel angry about few countries and their behavior of ignorance with the topic of climate change, but we have to accept it as the reality as we are living in 21st century with different people having their own priorities and their own demands. Therefore, governments across the globe are trying to do their best so that they can remain in power by helping people out with their needs.
Sustainable development was a very important and fascinating word in early 2000, but now it needs a renovation so that people will love it and will understand the inner importance of it.
Well, it's the end of today's topic and will meet you with something new and interesting next time. Till then, take care and Bye, Bye!!
