Why every time there is drought or flood or any such natural calamities, climate change is always blamed for it now a days?
''Earlier this year, in Myanmar, torrential rain caused mudslides that wiped out hundreds of houses and caused large-scale crop destruction. More than 1.3 million people were affected, and over 100 died. In Vietnam, the same deluges caused toxic slurry pits from coal mines to overflow and run through villages, and into the World Heritage-listed Ha Long Bay; the death toll was 17. As such weather events become increasingly frequent and intense, the need to mitigate and adapt to climate change is becoming more urgent than ever.''
We had Famine during great droughts ranging from 1770s to recent time. Only recently it has become a trend to blame it on climate change. Are our journalists trying to become scientifically more smarted by quoting climate change everywhere?
