Committing to net zero carbon emissions

IT is harrowing that Energy and Natural Resources Minister Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan declared the disastrous flash flood that occurred in Yan, Kedah last month as an “act of God”, ignoring the giant elephant in the room, climate change.

What's equally alarming is that he said this on the eve of Zero Emissions Day (Sept 21), a day designed to raise awareness about the harm caused by carbon emissions and to engage people towards more climate-friendly choices in their personal life.
