Climate change is making its presence felt in Burma. We are deeply saddened at the new levels of suffering inflicted on so many of our people by Cyclone Nargis, and compounded by the inappropriate and wholly inadequate response of the authorities. Just in the past 18 months Rangoon has been hit by massive flooding, a tornado, and now a catastrophic cyclone. People in Burma are now starting to die as a result of climate change in unprecedented numbers. If global warming continues to increase, the impacts and realities of climate change will become even more devastating.
