Do you think that shortage of resources is caused by Climate Change or you are one of those who believe that there’s an elite group who runs the entire world and they control literally everything including the weather ?
As resident of northern Zululand I have every reason to believe that climate change does exist, at (Sibomvu area located between Mahlabathini & Ceza) my area the terrain had changed drastically…back in 80s and early 90s our parents used to plant and keep large herd of cattle but all that has changed, most rivers had dried up and some had turned into small streams.
Yeah climate change is a factor and we are running out of time no only to save the planet but ourselves because so far this is the only planet that support life so let’s start to work together with organization like Greenpeace and Global citizen
Why should you believe to a nonsense which is being peddle by anti vaccines lunatics who are saying that vaccines are going to alter our DNA so our third generation will give birth to dwarves who are extremely short and smaller than the normal little people, then the elites will be able to control us well… protesting and riots will be crushed easy because the ELITES are not taking vaccine so there are not going to shrink in size only normal people would be shrink to create more space, protect forest and other resources
Energy production is another manger contributor to Climate Change that is why fossil fuels are being discontinued and renewable energy are being promoted because they emits almost zero greenhouse gases having said that but we must also consider the amount of greenhouse gases that get emitted when we are producing (batteries, Soler panels etc) renewable, the fact that nuclear energy is the most clean energy and it’s had less accidents however it is not being promoted instead it’s being demonized fuels the lunatics theory that is just a scam created by the ELITES.
Anti vaccines lunatics are really crazy, if all normal people are pea sized then who is going to work ( at mines, military, factories, hospital etc ) for elites… one so called professor simple said that the elites they no longer need us because of artificial intelligence machine are smarter, faster and more reliable than humans and they use less energy so they’re ideal for combating climate change, remember there’s a popular theory that cows produce a lot methane gas which has rumble effect on our climate then it’s makes you wonder how are the cows different from the rhinos and elephants that they values more than humans lives
Let Look at Energy Productionl

Energy is at the heart of the climate challenge – and key to the solution.
Generating electricity and heat by burning fossil fuels – coal, oil, or gas – causes a large chunk of the greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, that blanket the Earth and trap the sun’s heat.
Most electricity is still generated by burning fossil fuels, but cleaner sources of energy are gaining ground. About 29 percent of electricity currently comes from renewable sources, such as wind and solar, which nature will replenish and which emit little to no greenhouse gases or pollutants into the air. The cost of renewable-energy technologies also keeps falling, making renewables the most affordable source of power today.
Cities and Pollution
Cities are major contributors to climate change. According to UN Habitat, cities consume 78 per cent of the world’s energy and produce more than 60 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions. Yet, they account for less than 2 per cent of the Earth’s surface.
The sheer density of people relying on fossil fuels makes urban populations highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Fewer green spaces exacerbate the problem. According to the IPCC report, limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius would “require rapid and far-reaching transitions in uses of energy, land, urban and infrastructure (including transport and buildings), and industrial systems.”
An added challenge is the projection, in a UN report, that another 2.5 billion people will reside in urban areas by 2050; nearly 90 per cent of them in cities in Asia and Africa. The good news is that cities around the world have already begun to take measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and are putting policies in place that encourage the use of alternative energy sources. Efforts by policy makers and administrators to address climate change, however, will need to accelerate to keep pace with population growth and the rapid climate change.
The effects of climate change are worse among poor and low-income communities, in part because many live on the margins of society, in unstable structures, and in areas more susceptible to flooding, landslides, earthquakes, but also because of inadequate capacities, inadequate resources and reduced access to emergency response systems. This is even more pronounced in developing countries.
To address the issue of climate change in cities, UN-Habitat, UNEP, the World Bank and Cities Alliance have established the Joint Work Programme to assist cities in developing countries to mainstream environmental considerations into urban policymaking.
In Jamaica, UN-Habitat’s Cities and Climate Change Initiative (CCCI) helped people understand “planning as a long-term tool for climate compatible cities.” The programme, through partnerships with the local administrators and activists, has fostered communication within the community so that residents become informed on climate-resilient activities.
Pollution, mostly associated as a by-product of urban landscapes, is also linked with climate change. Both climate change and air pollution are exacerbated by the burning of fossil fuels, which increase CO2 emissions, the cause of global warming.
In October 2018, the World Health Organization (WHO) said in a report that 93 per cent of the world’s children breathe toxic air every day. According to the report, 1.8 billion children breathe air that is so polluted it puts their health and development at serious risk. WHO estimates that in 2016, 600,000 children died from acute lower respiratory infections caused by polluted air. The report highlights that “More than 40% of the world’s population – which includes 1 billion children under 15 – is exposed to high levels of household air pollution from mainly cooking with polluting technologies and fuels.” In developing countries, women frequently rely on coal and biomass fuels for cooking and heating, putting them and their and their children at higher risk to the effects of home pollutants.
WHO recommends and supports the implementation of policies to reduce air pollution, including better waste management, the use of clean technologies and fuels for household cooking, heating and lighting to improve the quality of air in homes.
The reduction of greenhouse gases and air pollution is one of the goals of the UN Environment’s Share the Road Programme, which encourages walking and cycling. The agency endorsed an award-winning bike-sharing scheme in Hangzhou, China, which started out to provide public transport, but ended up alleviating traffic congestion and drastically improving air quality. “Hangzhou is a great example of how cities can introduce initiatives like bike sharing to encourage people to get out of their cars and reduce air pollution,” said Rob de Jong, Head of UN Environment’s Air Quality and Mobility Unit. Together with the WHO and the Climate and Clean Air Coalition, UN Environment is part of the global Breathe Life campaign, helping to mobilize cities and encourage individuals to protect the planet from effects of air pollution
