The funny thing is that the Bible was even written by a pagan, Constantine for the use of the Bishop of Constantinople. |

post=82734770] There's little we can do. I believe the cause is from the planetary system, you either evacuate or evolve. Recent developments like Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin, Elon Musk's SpaceX, ISRO, Virgin Galactic all supports this fact. gaetano:Our leaders are clueless, if they have just common sense they'd enrich their people for greater wealth. You get little money from politics if your people are poor and make more if you make your people rich. That said, reliance on oil will be a thing of the past in the coming decade, why? Electric cars powered by batteries and 5G has come. These two tech will throw oil dependent nations into more hyperinflation because connected electric cars need faster gigabit internet which 5G has brought. Few staggering facts: Norway has the world's largest plug-in segment market share of new car sales, 49.1% in 2018. Plug-in are electric cars crazyABO:This type of thinking is why we are where we are today. Who e help so far? RexTramadol1: Bros forget that fairytale like the religious people that haven't been able to lift this country from her kneels with those decades of thunderous prayers. Adamo Orisha and others are fairytales. The whole world and its actors, plus Hitler, Trump, Adeboye, Bakare, Imams, etc are all like a TINY spec in the Galaxy. Our planetary system is just one small system among others formed in accretion process and all the systems are all connected, e.g. the pull of the moon and the sun's gravitational force is causing ocean waves on earth. But some people believe it's just natural. Femich18:Yes but ask yourself does it used to rain in October? Does it rain all year round previously in Lagos? Ask yourself again, has there been anything like the massive flooding in Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe that happened this year? Naysayers - Smh SenecaTheYonger:The truth is that NASA has admit that climate change occurs because of changes in Earth’s solar orbit, and NOT because of SUVs and fossil fuels. See https://dcdirtylaundry.com/nasa-admits-that-climate-change-occurs-because-of-changes-in-earths-solar-orbit-and-not-because-of-suvs-and-fossil-fuels/ https://www.naturalnews.com/2019-08-30-nasa-admits-climate-change-not-caused-by-suvs-fossil-fuels.html Ayhomes:Keep deceiving yourself while continuing living in a bondage that a superior race has placed you in. calddon:The black man does not have focus but can pick up focus the moment he's in a different ecosystem. Jabioro:I'd advise you take some time to study very well, it will help not only you but all humanity. engrchykae:Most likely because the universe is in a continuous state of flux. We can see that in the fossils of the previous eras dating back millions of years but naysayers wouldn't agree because it's convenient for them or they're in the bondage of religion. CaseSensitive:Yup but naysayers don't see this but they're convinced Christ is coming. CaseSensitive:Please see latest NASA agreement, up. dangoteinlaw:NASA admitted it's as a result of the earth's planetary orbit around the sun, check up. There's no life anywhere apart from earth, wake up! No be small thing o lol, this God matter ehh. Dvin:You don't have to believe it, it's complex for some minds. adenigga:Same here, save some more money for oxygen. But some people still don't believe, yet Elon Musk just announced SpaceX Starship and it will land on Off Course I Still Love You landing space. romoruyi:A short time indeed. Njeps:Short term solution for short term consequences. Oluwasaeon:Baba Agbalagba! ednut1:Great, let the naysayers see it. Reference:Great points but short term solutions too. idesylvester:No life in any extraterrestrial but it can be formed. Or there may be life in the extragalactic within the interstellar, maybe in the Magellanic Clouds since we can see that fro earth. henryobinna:So true, no vex niaralandtopuser:At best a conclusion that lacks sufficient research or delusional worst case scenario. See Homo neanderthalensis, homo sapiens, large mammal extinctions - we now have these fossils dating millions of years ago. How do you explain that? If you can, you can write a research paper on that and get instant fame Truest:When fools come online you just know because they call others fools first. Ponder on this, the countries that don't believe in the Bible but work hard are the most prosperous - China, India, etc. The continents (Africa and South America) that holds the bible sacred (a borrowed religion) because the white man asked them to so do, are the most impoverished on earth. When the white man brought the bible, he was packing your fore fathers like sardines as slaves in big ships and at the same time he was preaching to them. Where were the white clergy when all these were happening? Wasn't the same clergy keeping black slaves in his house as well? Too many questions to ask. Some date - out of 7+ billion people, China and India are 3+ billions, S/American and catholics 2.5 billions, protestants just less than 500+ million, muslims 1.8b. In all these groups, which group do you think is more prosperous? Any option is correct. Whatever option you pick, are the people in that group practicing a borrowed religion or their traditional religion? CaseSensitive:That's the major problem, it's expensive to know so people prefer to be guided by a book a man wrote, which other men are using to perpetually enslave the mind of others. engrchykae:Don't stress yourself explaining, leave the ignorant esp the ones that aren't ready to learn. basty:Another type of problem in Africa. So even those with some form of mental ailment will capitalise on this design e.g. like the white garment church leader who advised her congregation not to take ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), a core vitamin that the human liver needs to detox and boost immune system. francisisking:True niaralandtopuser: Reading this alone proves that the black man does not read and you still have volumes of text to catch up with. Chukapage:Lol, yea. |

Nairaland / General / Africa’s Is The 2nd Fastest Growing Tourism Industry In The World by claycares: 7:54pm On Sep 30, 2019 |
Some 67 million tourists visited Africa in 2018, representing a rise of 7% from a year earlier, making Africa the second-fastest growing region when it comes to tourism, after Asia Pacific. African countries are now reaping the benefits from positive policy changes coupled with increased investments in the sector, that have made it a more attractive destination for tourists. In Ethiopia, for example, relaxing visa restrictions while improving flight connectivity has seen Addis transformed into a regional transport hub, even overtaking Dubai as the world’s gateway to Africa. This has resulted in Ethiopia becoming Africa’s fastest growing travel country, growing by 48.6% in 2018, according to Jumia Africa Hospitality report, Business visitors numbers in particular have received a boost from business-enabling reforms from some governments that have seen the potential in diversifying the sector. Kenya, Rwanda and South Africa have undertaken initiatives to position themselves as locations for conferences and exhibitions. Top African countries for Travel & Tourism (WEF Competitiveness Index 2019) Country Score Score Mauritius 4.0 4.0 South Africa 4.0 4.0 Seychelles 3.9 3.9 Morocco 3.9 3.9 Namibia 3.7 3.7 Kenya 3.6 3.6 Tunisia 3.6 3.6 Cape Verde 3.6 3.6 Botswana 3.5 3.5 Tanzania 3.4 3.4 Such reforms have sparked investments in hotels, and business expenditures now account for 29% of tourism spending while leisure spending accounts for 71% showing the growth potential of tapping into “bleisure” travelers. This is an emerging group in the tourism market – those primarily traveling for business, but staying on for leisure. Least restrictive destinations for visitors in Africa 2018 – UNWTO Country Visa openness score Mauritius 84.6 Benin 74.9 Rwanda 71.8 Guinea-Bissau 71.5 Togo 71.4 Cape Verde 71.3 Uganda 71.1 Mozambique 70.8 Seychelles 70.6 Mauritania 70.4 In absolute figures, the continent’s share of the global tourism pie remains small. While accounting for 8.5% of GDP and employing 24.3 million people on the continent, only 5% of international tourist arrivals were to African countries. Additionally, in 2018, only 1% of the $1.7 trillion earnings in the sector were on the continent. There is room for optimism as there are already quite a few changes and initiatives underway that could see a continued growth in 2020 figures. Such changes include “Year of Return” style campaigns to attract black diaspora from the Americas, the easing of visa restrictions by some countries particularly for Chinese visitors and other Africans, the increased flight connections regionally and globally and the meteoric growth of Airbnb listings on the continent etc. Jumia is optimistic about the impact of the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) which came into effect at the end of May. “It will definitely increase intra-regional business, and thus yield huge economic benefits to the continent,” says Estelle Verdier head of Jumia Travel. https://qz.com/africa/1717902/africas-tourism-industry-is-second-fastest-growing-in-world/ |

MadeBlack10: According to one school of though, the earth's climate destruction is already beyond redemption. This is supported by Greta Thunberg, schoolgirl climate change warrior. The other school of thought says that we can only do little as the problem lies in our planetary solar system, i.e. the earth's planetary orbit around the solar system dictates the temperature of the earth just like the moon's gravitational pull is producing waves in our oceans. We may have to find another planet in the galaxy to colonize if this continues unabated. 28 Likes 4 Shares |
Travel / Lagos At Risk Of Being Partially Submerged - Goldman Sachs Report by claycares: 5:18pm On Sep 30, 2019 |
[url][/url]Goldman Sachs released a 34-page analysis of the impact of climate change. And the results are terrifying. A Goldman Sachs report on the impact of climate change on cities across the world makes for grim reading. Rising temperatures would lead to changing disease patterns, more intense and longer-lasting heatwaves, more destructive weather events, and pressure on the availability and quality of water for drinking and agriculture. Major cities were also highlighted at risk of flooding with parts of New York, Tokyo, and Lagos all at risk of being partially submerged. View Markets Insider for more stories. Goldman Sachs released a report on the effect of climate change on cities around the world and the results made for grim reading. The bank's Global Markets Institute, led by Amanda Hindlian, warned of "significant" potential risks to the world's largest cities, which are especially vulnerable to more frequent storms, higher temperatures, rising sea levels, and storm surges. Cities generate about 80% of global GDP and are home to more than half of the world's population, a share that Goldman says, citing the United Nations, is projected to reach two-thirds by 2050. About 40% of the global population lives within 100 kilometers of a coast, it says, and 1 in 10 live in areas less than 10 meters above sea level. Goldman highlighted three cities which would be subject to those storm surges and in the future could face harmful flooding — New York, Tokyo, and Lagos. Miami, Alexandria, Dhaka, and Shanghai face major flood risks due to being less than 11 meters above sea level. Goldman's researchers said that when starting the study they took a broad consensus that human activity, namely emission of greenhouse gasses "is causing the earth to warm in ways that are affecting the climate." Natural ecosystems would be damaged, and risks to human health would rise, as well as pressures on food and drinking water. Agriculture would also be massively affected: "Warmer temperatures and shifting precipitation patterns could reduce yields and nutritional quality as well change growing seasons and agricultural zones around the world." Goldman gave some fairly stark warnings about potential outcomes: - More frequent, more intense, and longer-lasting heatwaves. The consequences will affect human health, productivity, economic activity, and agriculture. "Higher surface temperatures could exacerbate the warming process by causing permafrost to melt, releasing further methane and CO2 into the atmosphere." - Destructive weather events, including storms, winds, flooding and fires. It's not just New York, Tokyo and Lagos. "Other major low-lying coastal or already flood-prone cities include Shanghai, Dhaka, Mumbai and Karachi – each of which has a population of 15 million people or more." Changing disease patterns. "Warmer temperatures could cause disease vectors to migrate from the tropics to regions where people have less immunity; this is true not only for viruses like malaria and dengue fever but also for water-borne and food-borne diseases." - Shifting agricultural patterns and food shortages. "Livestock could be affected by higher temperatures and reduced water supplies. Ocean acidification is likely to put stress on aquatic populations and affect current fishing patterns. Some of these changes are already underway. Some climate scientists, for example, estimate that coral reefs will be all but extinct over the course of the century due to ocean acidification." - Water. "Half of the world's population will live in water-stressed areas as soon as 2025," Goldman notes, citing the World Health Orgnization. "Even in non-stressed areas, the quality of surface water could deteriorate as more rain and storms drive erosion and the release of toxins. These dynamics could affect everything from the availability of drinking water for people to a shortage of water for livestock and crops (with negative effects for the food supply) to decreases in hydroelectric power generation." The bank said that all those factors would "affect economic activity, damage infrastructure – from buildings to transportation to water and waste-management systems – and disproportionately harm vulnerable residents." "Despite the uncertainty around the timing and scale of the impact, it may be prudent for some cities to start investing in adaptation now," Goldman says. "Urban adaptation could drive one of the largest infrastructure build-outs in history. Given the scale of the task, urban adaptation will likely need to draw on innovative sources of financing." https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/goldman-sachs-climate-change-threatens-new-york-tokyo-lagos-cities-2019-9-1028552494 3 Likes |
