While closing the Inter-Ministerial Conference on Migration, Environment and Climate Change on Friday, Museveni observed that as Africans quarrel with Europeans to limit greenhouse gas emissions, there is an urgent need to stop local destruction of the environment. The President added that another regional threat to the environment that could exacerbate the problem is the damage by under-developed countries such as Uganda and caused by two deficiencies including the lack of electricity that leads to populations destroying the biomass in search of fuel for cooking and the lack of industrialization that causes overcrowding of the people into subsistence and primitive agriculture. “This overcrowding into agriculture compels people to invade forests and wetlands in search of new agricultural lands having misused long cultivated portions of the land. The threat to the forests is absorbing 60,000 tons of carbon-dioxide per annum and the threat to the wetlands will interfere with the transpiration of moisture into the atmosphere that will in turn interfere with rain formation,” he said giving examples of West Nile and Karamoja in Uganda which are on the same latitude with the former getting 55.1 inches of rain while the latter gets 31.5 inches of rain per annum. https://chimpreports.com/we-cannot-afford-to-take-no-action-against-climate-change-museveni/
