CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate change is a global problem and Nepal is not left from the ill effects of this phenomena. As said in the article that we are carbon neutral country which has been the real cause of the global warming and climate change. We need to work with the global community to fight against global warming and climate change and put on measures to cope with it. Drammatic degradation of snow capped mountains has been the visible example. The outburst of newly formed lakes down stream the mountains are also the problems we are scared of now. But, in my opinion thia is not a huge problem to be dealt immediately because number of such lakes are not many that bring a big catastrophe. However, there are many other problems which are closely attached with the livelihood of the people and environment as well presently and for the future and can be minimised in an integrated approach. The water scarcity in hilly areas is rising and there are some examples whereas villagers pay 1-2 rupees a litre water fetched by tankers from the rivers nearby. Therefore developing rural towns at the nearby water bodies/streams/rivers is very necessary so the people can go work on their fields uphill or downhill and stay enjoying available water and other physical aminities-electricity, road, telephone line and many more. This way we can save vegetation and boost up forestation which bring positive impact to our environment. This also minimise the haphazardly constructed rural roads-another cause of envirnmental degradation and cause of interlink problems. This will also minimise the migration to Terai and release the pressure on productive land. (This is a comment to an article)
