At the heart of the unprecedented volatility are the problems contributing to Climate Change, exacerbated by the stubborn resistance by irresponsible world leaders.
To quote George Dillard that War Has an Environmental Cost, Too:
War is the source of myriad tragedies. It disrupts people’s lives. It damages economies. It kills soldiers and civilians alike. And, even though these other tragedies often distract us from it, war disrupts ecosystems and creates lasting environmental damage that harms humans and other species alike.
The world at large is fed up with the shenanigans of greedy politicians manipulated by scheming war mongering businessmen to share the spoils of war. Amidst this chaos, it would be absolutely necessary for us in Kodagu to ensure there are no more man made forest fires, destruction of tree cover for more resorts (without exception all are being constructed by people from outside the district) and spare a thought for fellow creatures – animals, birds and pets at home. – CLN Newsdesk
What we are experiencing now is not an ordinary hot weather. It is the arrival of the danger of ‘El Niño’, which can silently take lives and separate our loved ones from us. This situation will become more serious as May approaches.
What is ‘El Niño’?
Simply put, the water in the Pacific Ocean becomes very warm. This changes the air flow around the world. The southwest monsoon, which is supposed to bring us rain in May, may be late or less this time. This means that when it should rain, there will only be intense heat.
This situation is very dangerous.
Even healthy people can die due to Heat Stroke. Therefore, to save our lives, we must do the following immediately:
Don’t wait until you feel thirsty – that is dangerous!
Thirst is a sign that the body is already dehydrated. You should drink water every hour. Make sure children and the elderly drink water. Always keep a water bottle nearby.
The most dangerous time is from 11 am to 3 pm
At this time, the sun hits the body directly.
Stay indoors as much as possible
Think carefully if there are school sports events
Your child’s life is more valuable than any medal
Avoid black clothes
They absorb heat more. Wear light-colored cotton clothes like white or pink.
Heat Stroke Symptoms:
Severe headache
Fainting
Vomiting
Dry skin without sweating
If you have these symptoms, immediately take them to a shady place, wipe the body with a damp cloth and take them to the hospital immediately.
Don’t forget the animals
Help not only the dogs and cats in your house, but also the animals on the street.
Keep water in front of the house or near the wall
Make sure there is shade
Finally…
Don’t stay silent after reading this information. Share it with your family and friends. We all need to be prepared to deal with the upcoming ‘El Niño’ condition.
Remember…
We can only escape this danger if we are safe.
Share this information to save another life.
