Dear Editor,
For most of us, the last ten years went by in a flash and the next ten years will do the same.
However, in the next ten years, if we do not act and just sit on our hands, global warming will have changed our world completely- and it will be irreversible.
We are confronted with a climate emergency/crisis the consequences of which will be horrific if we do not work together and collectively confront the challenges that are upon us now.
We have got to elevate global warming and climate change to the top of our agendas, it must be at the forefront of our thinking in every forum, meeting, gathering, team meeting- it must permeate our lives. Together with dedicated and committed leadership at all levels, that fosters collective actions we can combat global warming if we vigorously embrace the crisis. We have proven in the past that we can overcome insurmountable threats by being totally committed to meeting and beating the treats presented.
Rather than shying away from the threat we should take every opportunity to discuss what can be done – then ideas will flow and truly effective actions will follow.
Hopefully in ten years’ time we will have no regrets. It’s up to us.
Yours sincerely,
Terry Court,
Tatura
