Momo - It is good to see you Momo! Momo, the climate of our island has always been cool and weather temperatures have been constant. Lately,

we have had little rainfall and it is getting hotter and hotter. It is so hot that the rivers are drying up, the plants are dying and the animals are suffering from dehydration and heatstroke. We don’t understand. Why have we been punished with this awful heat that is causing the drought? Have we been punished by the Gods? As an environmentalist, you might be able to provide us a different answer to the situation.
