Initiatives against climate change timely

Sensitisation on the effects of climate change, through the UN Climate Change Conference in New York, came at an opportune time.

Most developed countries have embarked on initiatives to create awareness on the crisis and third world nations should also follow suit.

Kenya, for instance, must act to save what is left for the country after the destruction of Mau forest complex and other water catchments.

The deaths of people, livestock and wildlife, due to drought, especially the recent death of hippos at Tsavo National Park, should be a wake up call for the Government to prioritise measures against global warming.
