Yes, the globe is warming up. No, don’t trust Trump on this.
Yes, there are multiple efforts
to counter climate change. No, they aren’t doing enough. But at least there is
widespread acknowledgement of the scale of disastrous effects of climate change
and remedial steps are being purported.
Global warming is already upon
us. News bulletins shout out “never before” droughts, rains and floods from
time to time. There is something that is still in a nascent stage, that might
have just as deleterious effects as global warming. Am talking about electronic
waste.
E-waste is piling up, quite literally, in dump yards. The Global E-waste Statistics Partnership (GESP), which counts the UN and International Telecommunication Union (ITU) as founding members, predicts e-waste will reach 74 metric tonnes in ten years, double the number in 2014.
