Jeg er klar over, at i begge lande er en del af grunden manglende omsorg for miljøet, men ikke desto mindre er hovedårsagen helt klart af klimatisk art frem for noget andet - til dels fremskyndet af ændringer i de globale klimaforhold.
I realise that in both countries a contribution has been made by a lack of attention to the environment, but nevertheless, the major cause is clearly climatic rather than anything else - partly precipitated by changes to the global climate regime.
