This is with reference to the report, "14 Indian states among world's top 100 facing big flooding risk - The Goan Everyday February 21, 2023." Yet another wake up call! Haven't we heard this before, coastal cities would be under water by 2050! And now according to this new analysis, 14 Indian states which includes Maharashtra, face the biggest risk of flooding. This only reinforces the fears of the drastic effects of climate change, the impending disaster. How long are we going to ignore such warnings? In the meanwhile, there are news reports that Brazil has been hit by a deadly storm on Sunday, resulting in flooding & landslides, killing dozens of people and cancellation of their carnival celebrations. So, where do we go from here? Are we going to just sit back and watch our world sinking in deep waters or are we going to do something about it, no matter how small it may be? The choice is ours. How many more wake up calls would we need before we get into action?
