As KZN residents recover from the floods, we should be jumping into action

Climate change will produce more extreme weather such as the recent KZN's floods in KwaZulu-Natal, and SA's ageing infrastructure cannot cope, say experts.Climate change is now so tangible that it is staring us down like an intimidating bully on the proverbial playground.

In the midst of devastating tragedy, as mothers mourn the loss of their children and brothers distress over the deaths of their siblings, we must confront the reality. A confrontation will compel us to invest more energy into fighting the bully and reduce it forthcoming death toll in generations to come.Our climate is changing at a frightening pace and will continue to create unprecedented, extreme weather events the world over, causing catastrophe and heartache for multitudes.
