No room for climate-scepticism

No room for climate-scepticism

Unfortunately, many scientists are not even ready to believe the threats due to climate change. Some reject the facts outright, while others are doubtful. But in reality the impacts of climate change are highly evident in our environment: the temperature has increased; the sea level is rising and the frequency of cyclones, tidal surges, floods and droughts, etc., have significantly increased.
Recently Prince Charles, who is known for his strong views on environmental matters, during an award giving ceremony at Buckingham Palace for green entrepreneurs, bitterly criticised the climate change sceptics saying they are ignoring overwhelming scientific evidence.
I call upon those climate change sceptics to wake up to the reality and join majority people in reducing the man-made elements that are accelerating climate changes causing disasters.
