This is the time to act

Comment on "Climate deal mission impossible" (China Daily, Dec 9 )

Climate change is real and is endangering our planet and our life day by day. The issue not only concerns an individual country like China, the US, or Canada. It also has a far-reaching impact on all human beings, animals and plants on Earth. If every country and every person shirk their responsibility, there will be no hope for our next generations. Thus it is high time that all the countries made concerted efforts to address the issue. Otherwise it could be too late to be sorry in the end.
