African countries are being forced to spend billions of dollars a year coping with the effects of the climate crisis, which is diverting potential investment from schools and hospitals and threatens to drive countries into ever deeper poverty.

Dealing with extreme weather is costing close to 6% of GDP in Ethiopia alone, equating to a spend of more than $1 repairing climate damage for every $20 of national income, according to research by the thinktank Power Shift Africa.

The warning comes just before the major new scientific report from the global authority on climate science, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. This report, the second part of the IPCC’s comprehensive summary of global climate science, will set out the consequences of climate breakdown across the world, looking at the floods, droughts, heatwaves and storms that are affecting food systems, water supplies and infrastructure. As global temperatures have risen in recent decades, and as the impact of extreme weather has become more apparent around the world, efforts to make infrastructure and communities more resilient have largely stalled.

Africa will be one of the worst-hit regions, despite having done least to cause the climate crisis. According to the Power Shift Africa study, titled Adapt or Die: An analysis of African climate adaptation strategies, African countries will spend an average of 4% of GDP on adapting to climate breakdown.

These countries include some of the world’s poorest people, whose responsibility for greenhouse gas emissions is many times less than those of people in developed countries, or in large emerging economies such as China. Sierra Leone will have to spend $90m a year on adapting to the climate crisis, though its citizens are responsible for about 0.2 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions a year each, while US citizens generate about 80 times more.

Mohamed Adow, director of Power Shift Africa, said: “This report shows the deep injustice of the climate emergency. Some of the poorest countries in the world are having to use scarce resources to adapt to a crisis not of their making. Despite only having tiny carbon footprints compared with those of the rich world, these African countries are suffering from droughts, storms and floods which are putting already stretched public finances under strain and limiting their ability to tackle other problems.”

He called for more funding from developed countries, which promised at the Cop26 UN climate summit to double the money available to help poor countries adapt to the climate crisis. Rich countries promised in 2009 to provide $100bn a year to help poor countries cut their greenhouse gas emissions and cope with the effects of climate breakdown. But so far they have fallen short of that target, and most of the funds that have been provided have gone to projects to cut emissions, such as windfarms and solar panels, rather than efforts to help countries adapt.

The study examined national adaptation plans submitted to the UN by seven African countries: Ethiopia, Kenya, Liberia, Sierra Leone, South Africa, South Sudan and Togo. South Sudan, which is the world’s second poorest country, was hit by floods last year that displaced 850,000 people, and led to outbreaks of water-borne diseases. The country is to spend $376m a year on adaptation, about 3.1% of its GDP.

Chukwumerije Okereke, director of the centre for climate change and development at the Alex Ekwueme Federal University in Nigeria, said rich countries must respond to the findings, and to the IPCC report.

“It is both irresponsible and immoral for those that are the chief cause of climate change to look on while Africa, which has contributed next to nothing to climate change, continues to bear a disproportionate share of the impact,” he said. “The time for warm words is long gone. We need urgent, scaled-up, long-term support from the world-leading climate polluters.”

Dr. Chukwumerije Okereke’s New York Times guest essay argued against climate activists like Bill Gates and George Soros writing, "My Continent Is Not Your Giant Climate Laboratory."

Okereke, who works as the director of the Center for Climate Change and Development at Alex Ekwueme Federal University in Nigeria, explained in the essay on Tuesday the concept of solar geoengineering, which is supposed to redirect climate damage from the sun’s rays.

Although the concept has been gaining traction in recent years, Okereke criticized efforts by Western countries to persuade Africa to get involved.

"As a climate expert, I consider these environmental manipulation techniques extremely risky. And as an African climate expert, I strongly object to the idea that Africa should be turned into a testing ground for their use. Even if solar geoengineering can help deflect heat and improve weather conditions on the ground — a prospect that is unproven on any relevant scale — it’s not a long-term solution to climate change. It sends a message to the world that we can carry on over-consuming and polluting because we will be able to engineer our way out of the problem," Okereke wrote.

Ideas such as reflecting sunlight away from the Earth by injecting aerosols are "highly speculative," Okereke insisted, and could cause more damage to an already poorer nation.

He wrote, "Africa is already suffering the effects of climate change, such as drought, floods and erratic weather. And while geoengineering advocates see these technologies as a solution to such problems, the technologies run the danger of upsetting local and regional weather patterns — intensifying drought or flooding, for example, or disrupting monsoon cycles. And the long-term impact on regional climate and seasons is still largely unknown. Millions, perhaps billions, of people’s livelihoods could be undermined."

Efforts to push these ideas, however, continued to be pushed by organizations funded by Bill Gates. In addition, George Soros has recently called for further investments into potentially altering the climate in the Arctic.

"Sir David King has a plan to repair the climate system. He wants to recreate the albedo effect by creating white clouds high above the earth," Soros said. "With proper scientific safeguards and in consultation with local indigenous communities, this project could help restabilize the Arctic climate system which governs the entire global climate system."

Okereke continued to warn that these risky investments would not only "need to be deployed essentially forever" to combat "suppressed warming of the carbon dioxide" but would also "divert attention and investments from building renewable energy and other climate solutions in Africa."

He concluded, "African nations should strongly resist letting their territories be used for experimental exercises like this. And they must join efforts to strengthen the de facto moratorium (under the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity) on the development and deployment of these technologies. The technologies are potentially dangerous, and a major distraction from the real change that we all know wealthier nations need to make if we have a hope of outrunning climate devastation."

In December, the White House announced a five-year plan to study the effects of geoengineering. The plan was authorized by Congress and will be executed by the Office of Science and Technology Policy and the Department of Energy.

Okereke elected fellow of World Academy of Sciences

Prof. Chukwumerije Okereke has been elected Fellow of the World Academy of Sciences for the Advancement of Science in Developing Countries in recognition of his contribution to science and its promotion in the developing world. According to a statement, Okereke is a professor in Global Governance and Public Policy at the School for Policy Studies, Bristol University, UK, and Director of the Center for Climate Change and Development, Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State. It stated that Okereke was a globally recognised leading scholar on global climate governance and international development, specialising in the justice dimensions of the international climate regime and just societal transitions to the green economy. According to the statement, he had a track record of high-impact research focused on understanding and addressing systemic barriers to economic and social inclusion in the context of climate policy and green economy transitions, “He drafted a climate change law in Nigeria, modelling Nigeria’s long-term low-carbon development strategy, designing African Unions’ Adaptation Initiative, and drafting the first-ever national green growth plan in Africa, for the Government of Rwanda,” it said. Okereke said, “I am delighted to have been elected Fellow of the World Academy of Sciences for the advancement of science in developing countries. It means a lot to me because I have always been driven by a desire to highlight the challenges faced by developing countries in addressing climate change while also pursuing economic growth as well as the opportunities to leverage climate action to build resilience and achieve economic growth. “Developing countries face multiple challenges related to colonial legacy and unjust international economic order which work to the advantage of advanced countries.” According to him, approaching climate governance from the framework of justice enables us to tackle, not just the issue of climate pollution, but also the more fundamental question of global equity and fairness needed to ensure that everyone can lead a decent life regardless of where they are born. “This recognition encourages me to continue to work as there is still quite a long way to go to achieve climate justice for the vulnerable countries of the world,” Okereke added.

Funcionario africano expone la agenda de despoblación de Bill Gates: “Mi país no es su laboratorio”

Un científico nigeriano ha arremetido contra proyectos respaldados por personas como Bill Gates y George Soros, que están utilizando África para probar en secreto vacunas no probadas y experimentar con tecnología peligrosa, matando y mutilando a millones de personas en el proceso.

Gates tiene una larga historia de ensayos médicos desastrosos en África, el más reciente con niños que quedaron paralizados por la polio derivada de la vacuna relacionada con la nueva vacuna contra la polio nOPV2 desarrollada por la Fundación Bill y Melinda Gates, según funcionarios de salud de la República Democrática del Congo y Burundi, que anunciaron la noticia en marzo de este año.

Bill Gates también anunció recientemente planes para aplicar a la fuerza a todos los niños africanos una nueva y peligrosa vacuna que causa meningitis.

Gates también ha apoyado una tecnología en la que las partículas se esparcirían en la atmósfera para impedir que la luz solar llegue a la superficie del planeta, como señala Forbes. En febrero, Soros prestó su apoyo a un proyecto que utilizaba geoingeniería solar para reflejar más luz solar hacia el espacio, según Fortune.

Sin embargo, Chukwumerije Okereke, director del Centro para el Cambio Climático y el Desarrollo de la Universidad Federal Alex Ekwueme en Nigeria, dijo que estos conceptos no deberían probarse utilizando a África como una placa de Petri gigante.

"Millones, tal vez miles de millones, de los medios de vida de las personas podrían verse socavados", afirmó.

“Como experto en clima, considero extremadamente riesgosas estas técnicas de manipulación ambiental. Y como experto en clima africano, me opongo firmemente a la idea de que África deba convertirse en un campo de pruebas para su uso”, escribió en un artículo de opinión en The New York Times titulado “Mi continente no es su laboratorio climático gigante”. "

Okereke estaba rechazando un informe de la Iniciativa Carnegie de Gobernanza Climática que favorecía lo que llamó modificación de la radiación solar que decía que la lógica debía prevalecer y advertía que “la SRM, así como otras opciones de política climática, podrían encontrar respuestas públicas 'no racionales' que podría influir fuertemente en la toma de decisiones”.

“No es la primera vez que los occidentales intentan persuadir a los africanos de que los proyectos de ingeniería solar pueden ser lo mejor para nosotros. Y no será la última”, escribió Okereke.

Okereke calificó la gestión de la radiación solar como “altamente especulativa”. Sin utilizar toda la Tierra como laboratorio, es imposible saber si atenuaría algo, y mucho menos cómo afectaría a los ecosistemas, a las personas y al clima global”.

“Otras técnicas propuestas incluyen cubrir los desiertos con plástico; modificar genéticamente plantas para que tengan hojas más brillantes y reflectantes; crear o blanquear las nubes; y desplegar millones de espejos en el espacio”.

Okereke señaló que las ideas sobre el papel omiten una discusión sobre su impacto en las personas, diciendo que “las tecnologías corren el peligro de alterar los patrones climáticos locales y regionales, intensificando la sequía o las inundaciones, por ejemplo, o alterando los ciclos de los monzones. Y aún se desconoce en gran medida el impacto a largo plazo en el clima y las estaciones regionales”.

En lugar de intentar rediseñar el clima, Okereke pidió más inversión en energía renovable en lugar de ciencia no comprobada.

Para probar sus ideas, escribió, “los defensores han tratado de atraer a los gobiernos africanos ofreciéndoles financiar proyectos de investigación, alegando que más investigación arrojará más luz sobre los peligros y beneficios de la tecnología”.

“Pero esto sólo parece ser una forma de intentar hacer de África un caso de prueba para una tecnología no probada. De hecho, más estudios sobre esta solución hipotética parecen pasos hacia el desarrollo y una pendiente resbaladiza hacia un eventual despliegue”, escribió.

Probar la geoingeniería solar en el territorio de otra persona, como se hizo en un experimento fallido en México, “reflejó algunos de los peores aspectos del colonialismo”, escribió.

“Las naciones africanas deberían resistirse firmemente a permitir que sus territorios se utilicen para ejercicios experimentales como este. Las tecnologías son potencialmente peligrosas y una gran distracción del cambio real que todos sabemos que las naciones más ricas deben realizar si tenemos la esperanza de superar la devastación climática”, escribió.

En una carta abierta pidiendo una moratoria sobre el despliegue de cualquier tecnología de geoingeniería solar, una coalición de científicos dijo que los riesgos y las recompensas no se distribuirían de manera uniforme.

“Las redes científicas están dominadas por unos pocos países industrializados, y los países menos poderosos económicamente tienen poco o ningún control directo sobre ellas. La gobernanza tecnocrática basada en comisiones de expertos no puede resolver conflictos globales complejos sobre valores, asignación de riesgos y diferencias en la aceptación de riesgos que surgen en el contexto de la geoingeniería solar”, decía la carta.

By • Olalekan Fagbade Vice Chancellor warns Students against campus pr*stitution, s3x-for-grades, cultism     The Vice-Chancellor of Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike Ikwo, Ebonyi State, Prof Sunday Elom, has warned over 15,000 students of the varsity to shun all forms of campus prostitution, sex-for-grades and cultism. Elom said that the varsity has constituted a committee to look into improper dressing on campus, which will also ensure that the varsity is raided of all forms of crime, adding that any student that is found culpable will face severe disciplinary actions. He made this known while addressing a mammoth crowd at the 11th matriculation ceremony, wherein over five thousand ninety seven (5097) fresh students were admitted into the school for the 2022/2023 academic session, that took place at the varsity premises. According to him: “Be informed that Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State, has absolute zero-tolerance for cultism, examination malpractices, bullying, ‘sorting’, campus prostitution/sex-for-grades and improper dressing, and we do not also hesitate to sanction offenders accordingly. “We have constituted a committee on improper dressing on campus and any student found dressing improperly would pay a fine of N10, 000 for each offence. So, be warned. Dress the way you would like to be addressed. I wish to assure you of adequate security on campus. “We, however, plead with you not to hesitate to report any suspicious activities, intimidation and harassment of any sort to the Dean of Students’ Affairs, security officers, SERVICOM or any staff of the University for immediate action. Elom further noted that the freshers hail from all parts of the country, adding that, “These freshmen are also joining our university at a time we have adopted Blended Learning in our academic activities.” He warned that the varsity will not tolerate any form of crime and that the offenders will be shown the way out, if found guilty of committing any crime “Be warned that a breach of the oath that you have taken today will attract appropriate sanctions,” he stated. #AlexEkwuemeFederalUniversity #cultism #prostitution #Vicechancellor
