Meanwhile, a top Indian group that monitors climate change in South Asia has warned that Cyclone Nargis is a sign of things to come. Sunita Narain of the Centre for Science and Environment warned that destructive cyclones were likely to occur more often unless nations sped up their efforts to curtail the emission of greenhouse gases. Narain said, “The victims of these cyclones are climate change victims, and their plight should remind the rich world that it is doing too little to contain its greenhouse gas emissions.” Narain said big polluters in the world, including the United States, should not be able to escape responsibility for what is happening in Burma.
