Synopsis

In the recent celebration for the earth day, non governmental organization and the organized events meant to create awareness of the need for everyone, most especially the government, to act to avert climate change. Yet those pockets of activities passed with out as much as creating an impact that would last.

Because there is no holistic and integrated framework to address the myriad issues connected to climate change. The garbage problem continues to mount. Plastics and Styrofoam which do not disintegrate and degrade biologically find them selves dumped into our seas, rivers and lakes. The consumption of fossil fuel and coal has not been significantly reduced resulting in condition gas emissions that the warm planet.

We have not come to close to developing renewable energy sources. And worse of all, we have not learned how to conserve our resources of fresh waters and food. We trade our rainforest for economic development. We neglect our rivers and lakes and let them turn into huge dump.

And our seas, we have no sustained program to protect our marine resources. Foreign poachers enter our territorial waters to catch our most rare pricey fishes and the corals where fishes breed. Yet we have, for the most part, let them go unpunished.

Our vulnerabilities to climate change scare. If a storm as violent hit us, will have a capability to save lives. Will we have water to drink and food to eat? We cannot afford to wait for a calamity of that magnitude to happen to find the answer to these questions.

What we need now is an integrated and holistic program, not compartmentalized and disjointed efforts, to address climate change and its consequences.
