Losing seasonal variation

A unique country with six seasons, Bangladesh is losing beauty of seasonal diversity due to global warming. It is late autumn but the elderly people say they can hardly differentiate it from hot and humid autumn in Bangladesh this year. January is the coldest month in this part of the world but that is no longer entirely true. The country experienced a higher temperature during the winter (2019), according to records. The summer was extremely hot. Climate change is often blamed for changes in Bangladesh's weather pattern and we are a victim of global warming caused by other countries. We think the countries that are responsible for it should pay compensation. On our part, we should raise voice and undertake programmes like tree plantation, especially in the coastal region, to address the issue.
