Climate Change a threat to human existence!
“Climate change…is the fundamental threat to humankind…If we fail to
act, climate change will intensify droughts, floods and other natural
disasters. Water shortages will affect hundreds of millions of people.
Malnutrition will engulf large parts of the developing world. Tensions
will worsen. Social unrest—even violence—could follow. The damage to
national economies will be enormous. The human suffering will be
incalculable…We have just four months. Four months to secure the future
of our planet.” —Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary General, prior to the 2009 climate conference in Copenhagen, UN News Centre, Aug. 11, 2009
