Chairperson, global warming and the changes to weather patterns have raised concerns globally, but not enough awareness has been motivated over the harsh reality, the consequences and preventive measures that can be endorsed to slow down global warming and preserve our planet. The next President to President Bush of the USA, Al Gore, has initiated an effective programme to endorse government into the reality of global warming.
A documentary by Al Gore called An Inconvenient Truth, has been playing at the Cinema Nouveau, and to those who have watched this documentary, it is a serious eye-opener and a very scary reality where all our nations are headed if global warming is not slowed down. It would be to no avail if we are striving for liberation, democracy, equality, growth and social development or any other priority on our agenda if in reality we are not driving our planet to avert disaster.
The limitations placed on nations on the emissions by greenhouse gas by Kyoto Protocol are not enough to address the situation. Pollutants and fast developing industries' gas dominates our atmosphere. We need to agenda our reality as a nation with regards to global warming and endorse protocol that needs to be adjudicated in every sector of governance and daily lives.
We need to enforce strong legislation that shall govern the emission of poisonous and harmful gases into our atmosphere. Thank you. [Applause.]
