    It is interesting how we equate the loss of these coral reefs in human terms, like jobs lost or livelihoods affected. There is less concern for the multitude of marine life that will disppear if these reefs die, at least for most people. Maybe we need to examine why we think these reefs are important in the first place; not just for the economic activty the help sustain, but the vast amount of life they maintain as well.

    The issue of climate change seem to be faced by the Spiral Silence Theory. Otherwise, why have we not witnessed any drastic action to curtail it even at this point? In my own part of the world (West Africa) as early as 9 a.m. the Sun is ever tensed. Some of us keep wondering whether anyone ever cares. The challenge Climate Change poses to all of us under the Sun is beyond lips service. By Ibomi Please read more at http://www.ichaclemo.blogspot.com

    This is an interesting fact on the relationship between climate change and employment. It might be very useful if you could also add your personal opinion concerning this study. In other words, what is your own view regarding this environmental threat? All the best. Rey

    Dear Rey
    Greetings.
    I am indeed a pro-environmentalist and really feel depressed when our fellow humans do not understand the gravity of environmental crisis which is slowly but surely enveloping the planet threatening our very existence. Climatic change and employment are definitely interrelated whereas the latter is bound to affect the former in a negative sense. I do not say that do not exploit nature because that has been the basis of human existence but Mother earth has a fantastic system of rejuvinating for which it requires an amount of time which we as humans do not want to grant. We only believe in extracting from nature but do not let it refurbish its lost energies. This leads to dwindling of equilibrium. And, this is the point where committment is required.
