The climate change issue is no longer a science fiction. It is no longer a science debate. The climate change has become a real life issue. If you still have doubts whether climate change is happening or not - come to Mongolia. Ask herdsmen "is climate change happening?" Our herdsmen will give you a true answer. They already told me "It is happening, and happening for real".

One expert on climate change said that if global warming exceeds 2 degrees Celsius, the disaster that may have happened once in a million year might happen every year. The climate change is created by us, by me, by you. Are we going to leave our children, grandchildren to the hands of this monster? No.
Let us act together" .
