With all the other problems the world is facing, we perhaps forget or rather lose sight of how climate change is impacting lives in DR.
In the past year we have had drought in various provinces with huge fiancial impact again and then recently a bonus of rain through tropical disturbance activity. Maybe more is to come in a very active season.
The world community has been hopeless in working on a unified approach to climate change with politicised rants from the commercial corner. Rather like the pathetic global approach to the covid19 pandemic.
It seems certain elements prefer a ' lemming approach'!
DR cant do too much to avert the pending crisis nor will suffer as some island nations. But all nations need to unify.
But perhaps we have a new President who cares. I read the idea to use as much biomass as possible in Punta Catalina instead of dirty coal. He also uses an electric car and I would hope he develops policies to encourage use of cleaner and more fuel efficient vehicles especially getting rid of dirty big old commercial vehicles so common here for more efficient types.
The world needs enlightened eco leaders now.
Had to start such a thread having seen the mess the US west coast is now suffering with fires everywhere and orange skylines in photos just now from my son living there. World wake up!
