German government spokesman Steffen Seibert described the images from regions hardest hit by flooding as “terrible”.
“Even though not every event, not every flooding or local incident, is related to climate change, many scientists tell us that the frequency, the intensity and the regularity with which this happens is a consequence of climate change,” Seibert said.
”The government is very much concerned about the safety of humans living in the coal-bearing areas in Jharia and Raniganj.
”The companys (Coal India’s) top priority should be to douse fire in Jharia by introducing new technologies,” said Additional Secretary, Ministry of Coal (MoC), Vinod Kumar Tiwari here as per a statement from CCL.
The Secretary-General reminded that the climate impacts we are seeing today – currently at 1.2 degrees above pre-industrial levels – give the world a glimpse of what lies ahead: prolonged droughts, extreme and intensified weather events and ‘horrific flooding’.
“Science has long warned that we need to limit temperature rise to 1.5 degrees. Beyond that, we risk calamity… Limiting global temperature rise is a matter of survival for climate vulnerable countries”, he emphasized.
