    "content": "warming. After a series of conference meetings and conferences, spanning the last few years, the progress towards such an agreement has been woefully slow. As a bearer of the burden of climate change, Kenya has the moral authority and duty to lead the world. While we press other nations, we cannot leave our destiny to the wisdom of others. We must act and we must act now. Let us make no mistake. Global warming is a reality. White ice caps on the top of Mount Kilamanjaro and Mount Kenya are going. The ice cap on Mount Kilimanjaro has shrunk by about 80 per cent from 1912 to 2000. It is likely to disappear altogether by the year 2020 if the climatic change continues unabated. We all know too well the devastating consequences of global warming. Droughts are more frequent and resulting crop failure breed hunger conflict among our community. Pastoralism is at stake, huge lands are receding faster and tourism is threatened as the ecosystem of high economic value are on the verge of collapsing. Economic costs of drought are extremely high. For example, the drought of 1998 and 2000 is estimated to have cost a loss of the GDP of about US$2.8 billion. The climate change also causes more powerful rain storms and consequent flooding ravages our villages. The floods of 2006 affected over 723,000 people. Flooding also brings greater risks in terms of health and fatalities. As I speak, some parts of this country are experiencing severe floods. Many people have been rendered homeless while some have died in Magarini Constituency."
