Climate Change in Action in Ethiopia?
by admin ~ April 23rd, 2008. Filed under: Climate Change.Contributed by Eshetayehu Tefera
It has long been a debate whether climate change is in action worldwide. According to reports, climate change is trivial and global warming is its worst consequence leading to further disasters. The sub-Saharan African countries are among the seriously affected areas facing drought, flood, disease and hunger. Ethiopia, part of the sub-Saharan African countries, is already experiencing such disasters and many areas are affected by drought, flood and disease outbreaks.
One of our subscribers/members has observed some of the worst consequences of climate change in Southern Nations and Nationalities, Ethiopia and has contributed us with a descriptive photo.

Imagine the total loss of life in the water, especially the microbes. Notice also the cloud difference in the same month of the two years. In addition, animals are suffering of drinking water, young irrigated crops totally wiped out, the wetland biodiversity harshly disturbed, human health affected, and poverty grimed. The case of Lake-Haromaya (Ethiopia) was also bad memory of worsen analogy. There might be also others unpublicized within the country.
