I refer to your editorial In Jeddah, two more moments of profound change (January 13). It is well written. However, as rightly underscored by you, allowing women to attend football matches and having an exclusive car showroom is a good beginning but more needs to be done. When the women of a country become economically productive, the nation advances rapidly. The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, deserves a salute for breaking the taboos of centuries.

Combating climate change requires concerted global effort
I refer to your article More money needed to address climate change, says UN official (January 14). The recent appeal from the president of the United Nations General Assembly is a powerful one. Combating global warming requires financial assistance. If things continue as they are, future living conditions will become unbearable. Will the international community address his appeal to address this crisis?

Is the winter fog really a natural phenomenon?
I refer to your article Beautiful scenes captured as fog rolls across the UAE (January 15). Fog can no longer be considered an unexpected phenomenon with the cloud seeding technology in use. It is now expected!
