Voice Of Vizag Climate Calling

Reports of depleting forest covers, disappearing polar caps, melting glaciers, and rising sea levels have left the society with plenty to ponder.

Protecting the planet and safeguarding the future generations have inevitably been forming the top agenda at almost every global summit over the past decade or so.

Calling for urgent action to avert an impending apocalypse, the world leaders have been reaching several agreements and forming climate policies. In fact, a few leaders have also threatened not to pursue trade negotiations with countries that do not comply with these agreements. Adding momentum to the movement are numerous environmental organisations and activists from various parts of the globe. Blaring out issues on international platforms and raising awareness among people with different campaigns, the bunch has been vociferous in its bid to battle climate change.

A few theories, on the other hand, claim hoax. Rebutting the popular belief, the school of thought argues that none of the catastrophic predictions, over the past three decades or so, have come true. Furnishing facts and figures to prove their point, the supporters of these theories have been stressing on the need to identify flawed models and reject alarmism. Finding fault with government interventions and the massive amounts being invested to counter climate change, they have lied in favour of adaption strategies to cope with any climate change that may occur.

As debates continue to rage across different parts of the globe, we find out what the people of Vizag have to say.
