How African scientists are leading the charge in mitigating the climate crisis

According to the provisional "State of the Global Climate Report for 2022", the past eight years are on track to be the warmest on record, fuelled by ever-rising greenhouse gas concentrations and accumulated heat. The global average temperature in 2022 is estimated to be about 1.15 [1.02 to 1.28] °C above the 1850 to 1900 average.

The call for urgent climate action will be amplified at this year’s United Nations Climate Change Conference in Egypt. The Paris Agreement provided a legally binding framework for all nations to play a role in combating climate change and adapt to its effects. Thus COP 27 is expected to prompt actions on emergency reduction of greenhouse gas, strengthening resilience and adapting to unavoidable impact of climate change.

“For Africa to be able to cope, there has to be a support mechanism especially from developed countries to make sure they consider a package that will help the continent to cope in terms of mitigating and adapting to the impact of climate change”, notes Baraka. Not far from Uganda, in neighbouring Kenya, the University of Nairobi, Rawlynce Bett has discovered more innovative interventions in waste management and recycling, using nature.

What climate crisis? There's stacks of real, actually non bullshit crises for them to focus on.

What 'climate crisis'? Please define what you mean, other than billions of dollars are available for corrupt 'scientists' who can hide their incompetence.

South African Public Service Workers Get Ready to StrikeA public sector stay-away is expected to affect car licencing offices and border posts.

Workers also requested a R1,000 gratuity payment to continue beyond March 2023. However, in his medium-term budget policy statement, Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana said the public service wage bill would increase by 3.1%. Negotiations stalled after government representatives refused to make concessions, leading to a collapse in talks.
