KOCHI: Climate change has become a major problem for the entire mankind, V. R. Krishna Iyer, former Supreme Court judge, has said. In his address after inaugurating the ‘Cartoons for Climate’, an exhibition and workshop on the theme of climate change, organised jointly by the British Council, Kerala Cartoon Academy, and Ernakulam Press Club here on Tuesday, Mr. Iyer said that global warming had altered the climatic conditions of the earth, leading to a very precarious situation for humanity. He said the developing countries were forced to bear the ill-effects of climate change thanks to the unchecked interference in nature by developed nations.
Mr. Iyer blamed Barack Obama, U.S. President, for failing to take a strong stance on the issue of climate change during the recent Copenhagen summit. He said that Mr. Obama was now taking the route of his predecessor, George Bush, on the issue of climate change and global warming. G. S. Gujral, head, Science, Environment and Technology (India and Sri Lanka), British Council, Charles Diaz, MP, Sudheernath, Secretary of Kerala Cartoon Academy, and N. Sreenath, Secretary, Ernakulam Press Club, attended.
