Disastrous cyclone

The news regarding scorching heat, flooding and cyclones are making headlines now often from different corners of the world in which people are suffering human and financial losses. The disastrous weather is caused by global warming (“Cyclone Remal kills 16, snaps power links to millions in India, Bangladesh,” May 27, Gulf Today website).

The news about a strong gale and heavy rain brought by Cyclone Remal lashing the coastlines of India and Bangladesh on Monday, with the storm killing at least 16 people and cutting electricity supply to millions before losing intensity, is so sad and alarming for the whole world.

Disastrous climate change is gripping the world gradually which is making human life miserable.

Nothing is impossible in the world. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. I am sure the world has the power to fight climate change and keep the world safe from its disasters.
