President Yoweri Museveni has said climate change is a new modern aggression against the always wronged African continent and people and warned that such life threatening aggression against humanity should stop.President Museveni says that the global threat by the North American, European and some of the Asian countries is through the release of carbon-dioxide into the atmosphere as well as the release of other gases that erode the ozone layer. He says that this is the global threat which is so much talked about and for which a solution must be found.The President was addressing the 69th United Nations General Assembly during the Climate Change summit currently going on in New York.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.Museveni said the electrification of the Tropical parts of Africa and the industrialization is part of the environmental protection which is a factor in mitigating climate change. He proposed that a fund be created as a motivation to reclaim the forests and wetlands where they have been encroached on and also to reward those who are still protecting them.
