Editorial! Climate Change and Global Warming a WAR we must Win Now or Face the Consequences Soon

-How Climate Change is Fast Becoming a Major Challenge in Cameroon

-The Ripple change chained effect of climate change and how it is greatly affecting the Global village and planetary winds pose as a threat or crisis

-How mother earth is now Venting anger spitting global warming because of Man's unfriendly actions to the environment

Climate change is fast becoming a growing call for concern, as nature and the natural ordinance that coordinate nature’s force has seriously been altered or distorted. In other words the memory of mankind is affected daily from the multiple growing effect of man's illicit actions onto the earth and the environment .

Multiplied more by inadequate measures put in place by living forces to tame or control the growing harsh influence or pressure of man on the environment.

The environment forms part of human habitat and man lives more on what comes from the soil and what the crops and the plants recycles as air or energy for nature’s subsistence.

Meaning there is a natural Chained network action or bond between the soil, which is land and the air which is nature and man mixed in-between.

Mother earth from a natural point of view functions well or badly based on the type of pressure exercised on her. She functions like human parts of the body coordinated by a central system. Once a part of the body has a problem the body is sick. That is exactly what happens to an evolving planet (the earth, we are talking of).

Changing times and the uncontrolled wind of change have set Standards and agenda that has automatically reverse the calendars of nature’s natural behavior. That is why rains come before or after the anticipated date, ceases at it own time, the sun overhead and scourging, drought, floods, landslides, dust, wild winds very recurrent etc. This is because of man’s wayward behavior on the environment.

Uncontrolled tree felling, burning of bushes, bad waste management, inappropriate ways of disposing chemicals and pollution, are not paying off, to help mother earth to regulate it’s memory.

Population growth and urban pressure plus the Ripple effect of exhausting land and not allowing it to fallow and the use of to much fertilizers stands out as a major threat to nature.

Before there were dense forests and not spotted trees, the earth was well sheltered and not exposed to the direct rays of the sun, there was enough water flow because we had water friendly trees, the soils were fertile animated by micro organisms and decomposed leaves, there were not recurrent land slides or dusty clouds.

Today our soils lack texture because of fire and poisonous soil additives. We have fell all the trees and nature is bare, exposed to the sun and the water sources are drying off, slopes sliding, winds blowing off the outer surface of the earth at the mercy of fellow humans who are then prune to pick up airborne diseases.

We are paying the price of our immoral actions on planet earth and that is why in response there is climate change, global warming, airborne diseases, water shortage, low yields, contaminated food, too much cancer, inorganic things, landslides, flood, droughts etc.

The Cameroon rain forest for example which covers the East, Center and part of the littoral Regions have been exploited to the point of exhaustion by timber merchants. In Bamenda, the Mendankwe hills, the Awing forest and oku rain forest which use to provide coal, wood, Irish potatoes, bush meat,honey products and natural plants to the population of the North West and other parts of the Region have all been rendered bear. Uncontrolled farming and settlement or construction on some certain slopes in the grass fields and the West Region has caused a reasonable amount of death due to land slides. The Northern and extreme North part of the country faces serious drought during the dry season and serious flood during the raining season with flies and mosquitoes.

Coming to forest products we can rarely find a good quantity now in the society because they are almost extinct. We are talking of non timber forest products and games or animals and there is absolute need for conservation inorder to keep our forests alive (the animals play a very important role in reviving the forest).

Tell us how from all of these observations that we will have adequate breeding ground for air, whether there will be sufficient water and the sun will not be scourging or the rains will not delay to come and there will not be climate change and excessive heat.

We have all contributed in plunging mankind in this mess and it is time for speed actions or we will not live to accommodate the dangerous circumstances ahead. The future is bleak.

To curb this or put things under control, nature’s forces need to be mobilized, bringing all on board to form a collective force and on a common font to battle with the challenges..

Every nation, every organization, every individual or family has a role to play. Because everyone feels the pinch when it is cold and everyone feels heat when it is hot.

Community based initiatives for the conservation of natural resources should be encouraged.

The Media during such a precarious moment in the history of mankind, should champion the crusade and the campaign against climate change and global warming through chained and accelerated advocacy reports.

Which is just what our Media Group (WORLD ECHOES MEDIA GROUP) has taken as commitment in the last days of the 21^st century.

The uncontrollable wind of change is responsible for the serious and multiple health problems Cameroonians are experiencing today and other fellow humans in other parts of the world. Reasons why we must all Act Now or live to Cry after.

In strong terms, mankind is facing a serious problem which requires the urgent need of a serious change of behavior and attitude toward land and soil usage.
