good ol NATURE.

Unfortunately, most if not all og=f those who started the destruction of nature aren't around to see the effects.
we will see more of those in the coming years, so if you are close to any water body, mountain, flat plain or valley, better look for other alternate settlement areas.

we have 7 years to make good on our destructive behavior or NATURE reclaims Earth as we know it.

How long until it’s too late to save Earth from climate disaster? This clock is counting down.

How long does the world have left to act before an irreversible climate emergency alters human existence as we know it? A new digital clock unveiled in Manhattan’s Union Square over the weekend promises to tell you — down to the very second.

The Climate Clock unveiled by artists Gan Golan and Andrew Boyd warned at 1:30 p.m. Monday that there were 7 years, 101 days, 17 hours, 29 minutes and 22 seconds until Earth’s carbon budget is depleted, based on current emission rates. A total depletion would thrust the world into further turmoil and suffering through more flooding, more wildfires, worsening famine and extensive human displacement, according to the artists.

The display, plastered onto the side of a glass building for Climate Week, shows two numbers. The first, displayed in red, is what the creators refer to as a “deadline.” The timer counts down how long it will take for the world to burn through its carbon budget if swift action isn’t taken to keep warming under 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels.

If Earth’s temperatures increase by 1.5 degrees Celsius, the planet will fall victim to extreme heat waves, fires, droughts and limited water availability, a 2019 NASA report on global climate change warns.

Under the Paris agreement, more than 180 countries have pledged to work together to keep Earth’s temperature below a rise of two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) — and if possible, 1.5 degrees.

(President Trump announced in November that the United States was withdrawing from the climate accord.)

Apana ,mwalimu hii ziwa imejaa mchanga ! From mau forest . Settlement in catchment areas has caused havoc in lake, nakuru, naivasha, baringo mbogoria ,its sad !
I witnessed at river ndarugo near Egerton university the water volume , it's sad . Couldn't take a photo due to heavy rain
I can also imagine vile ile mto inatoka huko bagaria inatoshana Saa hii.
