Letters LETTERS: County has borne the brunt of global warmingA section of Mount Kenya National Park that was destroyed by a fire. PHOTO | ALEX NJERUNot long ago, Nyeri County was known for its serene environment, friendly weather and natural abundances that made it unique and loveable. Despite achieving expected seasonal rainfall volumes, rainy days have been reducing compared to dry days within rainfall calendar days thus impacting on crop production and field restoration.

Effects of global warming are more pronounced by the reduction in glacier cover atop Mount Kenya peaks.
