After Covid 19; the World is not ready for major climate crisis? - Sameh Habeeb

Did The World Learn From The COVID-19 Crisis? Are We Ready For A Massive Climate Change Crisis? London-based journalist and communication expert Sameh Habeeb warn that the world is not ready to face its biggest crisis yet.

It's hard to say whether or not the world has learned from the COVID-19 pandemic. On the one hand, it seems like there were a lot of lessons learned – on the other hand, some people are still arguing about whether or not the virus was a pandemic. In any case, we're not ready for a massive climate change crisis. Glasgow summit in the UK did not make breakthrough in state’s commitment to lower emissions or improve their climate related policies.

Sameh habeeb added that “There are many things that we need to do to be ready for a massive climate change crisis. We need to invest more in renewable energy, develop new technology to help us cope with the changing climate, and ensure that everyone has access to clean water and food. We also need to make sure that we're prepared for the potential arrival of evolving pandemic strains and new diseases. Lately, we witnessed dramatic crisis across the world with massive forestry lands burned worldwide.” Temperatures are rising world-wide due to greenhouse gases trapping more heat in the atmosphere. Droughts are becoming longer and more extreme around the world. Tropical storms becoming more severe due to Warmer Ocean water temperatures.

Experts suggest that increasing global surface temperatures the possibility of more droughts and increased intensity of storms will likely occur. As more water vapor is evaporated into the atmosphere it becomes fuel for more powerful storms to develop. More heat in the atmosphere and warmer ocean surface temperatures can lead to increased wind speeds in tropical storms. Rising sea levels expose higher locations not usually subjected to the power of the sea and to the erosive forces of waves and currents.

HEGS suggest key signs of climate change such as Droughts are and Tropical storms and high temperatures raise yet the world is careless.

Habeeb said, “One thing that we can do right now is to start investing in renewable energy. Renewable energy is becoming more and more affordable, and it's a great way to reduce our carbon footprint. We also need to develop new technology to help us cope with the changing climate. Countries must cut on their defence budgets and direct funding towards preparedness to face the next crisis. Full scale wildfire, or massive flooding plus rising level of water will be the next disasters.”

Self-reliance and self-sustainability are crucial. Naturally, we should help our communities, and this knowledge is a way to achieve this goal. The pandemic has taught us that anything can happen at any time to disrupt life entirely as we know it. Families have always done whatever.

They can to prepare for storms and environmental anomalies, but the pandemic differed. Life as we know it has completely changed. No one was free from its impacts.

Sameh Habeeb suggested that UN policies and recommendations which have been in place for decades are not implemented. Many cities and countries will be saved if we put such policies in place. He added that the World is not ready for a major crisis that will impact millions and will for certain cause massive casualties particularly in third world countries.

Habeeb concluded that we need to make sure that everyone has access to clean water and food. This is especially important in developing countries, where the climate is already changing, and people struggle to survive. We also need to make sure that we're prepared for the potential arrival of new diseases. We know that it's only a matter of time before another outbreak happens, so we need to be ready to act fast when the next one shows up.
