It was quite ironic that Vanuatu President Baldwin Lonsdale was attending a UN disaster conference in Sendai, Japan, when his homeland was battered by Cyclone Pam on Saturday. Calling the cyclone a monster, Lonsdale blamed Pam for wiping out all the development that has taken place in the island-nation in the Pacific.
“Climate change is contributing to the disasters in Vanuatu. We see the level of sea rise. Change in weather patterns. This year we have heavy rain more than every year,” Fox quotes Lonsdale.
