 A climate change activist, Barista Elia Cuache, has called on government to make tree planting a criterion to mitigate climate change in communities. Barista Elia made this call at the annual conference of the pastor of the Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria at the Brunom Jr. Seminary Bamba Yola. Barista Cuache said global warming is now a threat and more dangerous than armed conflict. Hence, there was a need to put all hands on deck and the pastor's conference is an avenue where spiritual leaders can take the gospel to bring about change in reducing the effect of climate change. In his remark, Reverend Musa Pansi Filiboss, the Archbishop of the Lutheran Church said climate change is a global reality and there is a need to raise awareness for the environment to be sustained. According to the Reverend, all the conflicts experienced by farmers and herders are as a result of climate change and the damage cannot be quantified. The conference is attended by over 600 pastors across Nigeria. So, but major one we can do here, tree planting, then using of renewable energy. It's a very, very good factor. It's a good way to mitigate climate change and global warming. It's a global reality. Whether we are conscious of it or not, it's a reality. Those of us of my age, we can look back 50 years ago and we know very clearly nothing is the same anymore. Where you used to have forests is now desert. Where you used to have ponds, they are all gone now. Where you don't never had floods, you are now suffering floods. So, it's all as a result of climate change and change of environment. We know that this climate change is also one of the reasons why there are so much conflict because of land. The desert is increasing but the peace of land we call Nigeria is not increasing. So, there are more populations, more people who need valuable land, who need land for agriculture but it's not sufficient anymore. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
