According to researchers, the impact of climate change is increasing as well as increasing in frequency as well as increasing in intensity and duration. In Bangladesh, hundreds of thousands of people have died in recent years.
Shahjalal Mia, a 63- year- ancient restaurant landlord, said he watches the ocean “grasp more land” each year.
” Some people have lost their homes to the water already”, he said. ” If there is no beach, there wo n’t be any tourists”.
He claimed that he had experienced searing heatwaves and storms that he had seen worse with temperatures reaching over 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
” We are facing two, three, even four storms every time now”, he said.
” And I ca n’t measure temperatures in degrees but, simply put, our bodies ca n’t endure this”.
” As Later”
According to the International Climate Risk Index, Bangladesh is one of the nations that are most vulnerable to natural disasters and climate change.
In April, the country of around 170 million persons experienced the hottest month, and the most prolonged heat conditions, in its past.
Next month, a hurricane that killed at least 17 people and destroyed 35, 000 homes, was one of the quickest- forming and longest- sustained seen, the government’s weather office said.
Both occasions were pinned on rising global temperature.
The poorest were paying the price for carbon pollution from wealthier countries, according to Ainun Nishat of Brac University in the investment Dhaka.
” We cannot do anything for Bangladesh if other countries, notably rich nations, do not do anything to fight pollutants”, he said.
Bangladesh is running out of time, Arvind added.
” It is becoming too late to prevent catastrophe”, he said. ” We are unprepared to take change”.
