Dear Editor
Climate Change needs global attention.
Climate Change may induce physical effects due to global warming, heatwaves, floods, droughts, storms and lightning.
It can also lead to chemical pollution due to dust, forest fires, chemical runoff, air pollution and seawater intrusion in ground water.
Climate change can also influence extension of endemic areas of vector borne infectious diseases and proliferation of multiple microorganisms.
It will also result in migrations, change in human behavior and the favouring of invasive species.
So the need of the hour is preventive measures and other mitigation efforts to check climate change allover the world.
