- The global community is becoming accustomed to the weather vagaries caused by environmental degradation over the last few years despite efforts undertaken by leadership across the world to address this phenomenon. The uncontrolled carbon emission afflicting Mother Earth in the last few decades is a grave concern that has caught the imagination of the universe with plans to reduce fossil fuel burning and other modes of indulgences affecting the environment. The rise in temperatures has had a cascading effect on the universe resulting in some of the most devastating natural disasters debilitating the already strained economies of several countries post-pandemic. The major upheaval is the way weather patterns have altered so dramatically over time.

- Some of the mitigating measures like reduced fossil fuel usage, thrust for electric vehicles operated on batteries, improvisations in the fuels yielding fewer carbon footprints, awareness of the debilitating effects on the environment, and embracing greener options for the overall good of the universe must be duly adhered to. What is at stake is the future generations who will be required to embrace horrific and erratic weather patterns resulting in natural disasters of unimaginable proportions quite regularly. The more advanced the universe becomes vis-à-vis amenities on the back of groundbreaking cutting-edge technological inventions and innovations, the challenges to natural sustenance become increasingly difficult for humankind.
- Why? Simply because carbon footprints left behind by increased economic access to greater amenities will only add to the already greatly affected environment degradation. Make no mistake, humanity will face mounting challenges in the days ahead as the natural resources become scant as the advancements in medicine ensure improved healthcare infrastructure leading to more years added to the average life span. Now this will get fructified at a greater intangible cost since the increase in the amenities and life span cannot come without burdening the environment per se. The rising temperatures mean the weather patterns will become increasingly unpredictable and unbearable, leading to mounting challenges for the global community.

- Little wonder, incidents of unseasonal rains, storms, floods, droughts, famine, snowfall, cloud bursts, and other such events will occur with alarming regularity. The loss of innocent lives and livelihoods will only add to the uncertainty surrounding our day-to-day lives. Prima facie, the onus rests with the advanced nations who have mercilessly abused fossil fuel and other available natural resources to reach where they are presently. Talking merely to reduce the carbon footprints without actually resorting to some of the most sustainable practices will only result in increased pressure on the already strained environment. The need of the hour is to walk the talk by all countries, mostly the advanced ones, to contribute to reducing carbon emissions.
