Our days today begin with news either of the varying statistics of the COVID-19 cases, tragedies of prejudicialdiscrimination,follies of policy-makers,horrifying terrorist attacks and more dreary information that are not only gravebut also petrifying.Amongst these,the global concern that touches all living creatures is the news of our weary planet.st th COP26 or the UN Climate Summit 2021 is going to take place for 2 weeks from the 31 of October to the 12 of Novemberin Glasgow and it has been the matter of the moment for the past few weeks.The cause is unsurprising and is frankly longoverdue.Climate change is an upsetting phenomenon,both for our planet and its inhabitants.Our persistent activities ofpleasure for personal gain at the expense of Mother Earth can no longer be put up with. Not by our planet, not by thefuture generations.Their survival and ours solely depends on us fixing our current ways.While the prospect is daunting,fear cannot be our barrier.Our present psychological mindsets need a jolt.It is now essential that we step past the fear ofchange to make the change possible for we are hanging by a thread at the end of the rope with a fire beneath. Theconsequences are cataclysmic,and we are our only hope.
