It seems that every country has them, fortunately not in large numbers, but a noisy and usually, vocal group.
People sceptical of climate change, saying just a long-term seasonal change, a usual hurricane, cyclone or typhoon, all with names to personify them.
Glorifying having survived them,”but this one is nothing like hurricane Andrew”.
In time, perhaps Florence etc, even though the climate change deniers, in the US, go right to the top!
In Australia, much of the country is in a crippling drought, and farmers from all over the country, have trucked in semi-trailer loads, of hay to feed the starving stock, mainly cattle and sheep.
Water supplies in much of the bush, is very low.
Replenishing water supply, is also a difficulty, particularly for thousands of kangaroos, and camels, come in from the bush and desert, looking for water too.
In Australia, there are lots of wild camels, used in the 19th century, for exploration of the country, carrying freight and foodstuffs during the Gold-rush period.
After which, they were simply let loose, multiplying, with dams, food and drink, abundant in good times.
And while sceptics still say, it is just a bad drought, a more realistic assessment is that it is part of climate change.
In the Pacific, it is an existential problem, as any major rise in sea levels, will simply eliminate some of them.
This week, depressing news from Norway, which on a nearby island, near the North Pole, has a repository of seeds and plant life, from around the world, in a specially sealed vault, deep beneath a permanently snow covered landscape.
Concern now, that the long tunnel, to the vault, is leaking water, because the ice-cap, is melting more rapidly than anticipated.
Norway is immediately funding millions of dollars to ensure the vault remains protected, the world expects it.
Elsewhere, lots of wise people, not necessarily governments, are taking climate change matters into their own hands.
The increase in electricity costs in many countries, are leading to an explosion in purchases of solar panels and batteries.
People fed up, with political prevaricating, and getting little done in terms of requisite infrastructure.
It is good to see that Bahrain is now focusing a lot on solar panel technology, given the abundant sunshine with which the government is blessed.
Mains power, will of course be maintained, with oil-driven generators still supplying the bulk of electricity for industry.
But available technology usage, and the certainty of electricity supply, is vital to the public, industry, small business, and transport industries.
Similarly too, authorities, moved very quickly to reassure the people, there were adequate desalination plants creating potable water, assuaging fears the country would in the near future, face a water shortage.
A quick and detailed response with facts and figures; well done indeed.
Farsightedness, in acceptance of global change, and preparing for flow on effects of others’ tardiness, may in future years, be seen as a salvation.
