The Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC); International Committee on Climate Change; the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF).
The EU Summit Conferences; NASA; UN World Wild Life; UNESD; The KYOTO Protocol; The Copenhagen Conference on Climate Change; the Mexican Conference on Climate Change; the Nato Strategic Summit held on November 17, 2010 included Agriculture and Food Security; Economic and Trade Investment; Aid and Development; Foreign and Transatlantic Relations; Climate Change Issues; the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport and a number of other reputable and world-wide organisations have unanimously discussed the issue of "Global Warming- Climate Change" and are of the considered opinion and have resolved that Global warming can trigger a catastrophe that can further aggravate the financial crunch world-wide and hasten the melting economies of the world.
Climate change is a matter of great concern for the whole world including global trade union movement, job protection; decent working conditions and the recent financial crisis particularly its impact on transport workers; thus climate change and these issues are closely linked.
Global Warming-climate Change can trigger a sudden catastrophe such as earthquakes; Tsunamis ; stormy seas and oceans; the glaciers are melting at an astounding rate of 9% per year; the sea levels are rising; the seas are becoming warmer and sea currents are being built very strongly and ferociously causing heavy sea storms and seas flooding; floods; Vector Borne Diseases(VBD) - mostly by mosquitoes, ticks, sand flies; black flies; treat mine bugs and other pests. It causes diarrheal diseases; asthma; respiratory diseases; lung-kidney and liver cancer. It reduces soil fertility; pollutes Air, Seas and Oceans; water and food shortage; droughts; causes heat waves taking toll of a large number of human population; decrease of land available for dwelling and agriculture; extinction of species and organisms for the well being of human lives; water and food shortage; epidemics and widespread diseases in mankind, plant kingdom and animal kingdom; mass migration and issues of Urban and Rural population- civil society; financial collapse and melting away of economies.
Above all in case a sudden catastrophe is struck; no single nation is capable to take care of such a catastrophe. Consequently the ecosystem is disturbed and life including planet "Earth' comes closer to the verge of extinction.
