tonytony208: can you pls show me how a xtian can hold political office in nigeria without first compromising his xtian standards? #justaskingI actually don't know what you mean by "Christian standard". But if it is what I think you mean, then these standard varies among doctrine and individuals. And its very possible to actively participate in politics without compromising ones believe. Although it takes inbuilt strength && God's guidance to stay out of sin while holding such post. |
spotit: great comments everyone, the thing is to go completely green as much as we are able.I concur |
davien: I appreciate the write-up and by the way if you are a geologist or anyone with an authority on such a field i would urge you to acquire the mean temperatures of all the states in Nigeria....No, am not a geologist, but a Bioclimatologist by Thesis. I have a second degree in Environmental Mgt && Control... About the climate of Nigeria, I think someone has done a work similar to that. If I can't find the work, I will get another done. davien: Because climate change i believe by your understanding of it(correct me if i am wrong) should be an abrupt temperature increase....No, climate change isn't 't just about temperature changes, its about combined change in all climate/weather parameters (rainfall, temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind, solar radiation etc). What you described above is global warming && not climate change. Most authors(Nigerians) narrow their study of climate change to temperature changes since it is believed that human feel the direct effect of air temperature much more than other variables. davien: Climate change is continuous and as such variations of temperatures should be expected before the long term effects kick into play....very correct sir. But, personally, I won't say that climate has changed. I believe we can only say a climate has changed when there is a complete increase or reduction in the mean (usually 30years or more average) climate pattern. e.g. 1810-2010 has 4 climates (30 years interval). If the average temperature in the first climate (1910-1940) is 18degC, && in the second climate we' have 20degC, && prolly the 3rd we have 23degC, && 4th we have 21degC, that's a variation. It becomes "change" when it has a continuous mean for long && suddenly drifts (increase or decrease) && as such maintains the its new mean. davien: A study by Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies. ...found out that phytoplanktons that are responsible for 80% of carbon sink' into oceans would not thrive as the oceans are now getting hotterFrom the 2nd link Taking into account the carbon sink effect, 800 million to 1.1 billion tons of carbon accumulates annually in the atmosphere, the researchers say. This refutes the idea that the U.S carbon sink is big enough to equal the amount of carbon that U.S. factories emit through the burning of fossil fuels, as some studies have concluded.The process of carbon sequestration(intake of carbon compounds by sinks) does not necessarily take place where the carbon compound is emitted. Funny enough, larger percentage of emissions from U.S enters into the regional atmospheric circulation zone through its industrial tall stacks && get transported away from U.S. As we all know, as these compounds are emitted into the atmosphere they get transported almost immediately towards the direction of the wind. That is why it is possible for a country to emit on behalf of another as in the case of Nigeria && U.S., where we are being paid to plants tress in our country. Don't you ever wonder why we keep planting trees && encouraging forest renewal && aforestation. Does a forest ever get developed? The results of the Princeton-led study are particularly interesting because the 23 scientists who participated in the research and agreed on the conclusions initially held strongly differing views about the size of the U.S. carbon sink.This is the consensus kind of research I made mention of earlier on. If you study the climate change politics so closely, you'll realize the so called scientists are playing to a script. 1st link let's hope they won't refute that anytime soon. |
moyes5757: ya datz d oneok bro..thanks Please who else gained admission to Geography dept |
jideomowunmi: Tell me aw one can get into politics without not getting his or her hands dirty...?I think Jesus Christ sets a good example for christians to emulate....maybe we shud be more focused on dat....and ignore all distractions...a christian is a christian...a politician is a politician...mixing both hardly works...If Christians choose not stay out of politics, then they have nothing to complain about when the non-Christians misrule. #justsaying |
hannesy: ur case is different,let me think of wot 2 do with u lol brbthink fast o, am so getting impatient |
moyes5757: nice. I've known d alumni anthem since 2011 buh I've never bothered to learn d new one cus I dnt rili lyk it ............do they have an alumni anthem? its the "great ife, great ife, African most beautiful campus, culture...." am learning o. This matter don dey tire person sef |
davien: I never made an assertion that "carbon monoxide" in particular has any prolonged residual time...."Over 100 billion metric tons of carbon emissions are a scar that naturally could take eons to fix naturally...yet this is the amount that has been pumped into the atmosphere for a while now...." Sorry I misinterpreted you, by atmospheric carbon, I thought you were referring to either CO, CO2 or gaseous hydrocarbons davien: Do you also understand that the things that make use of carbon emissions later on still give that carbon back into the environment in different forms....yes bro, they do give it back to nature in a different && sometimes thesame form as it is taken (in this case gaseous). Since this argument is based on climate change, then we need not to bother ourself with the "different" forms. Rather limit the cvrbon compounds to CO, CO2 && HC(g) davien: so how then is it not responsible for climate change when;...prolly the rest is used up for other processes && aswell in keeping the PBL warm. davien: The plants die and give back the carbon in the form of coal or oil or become fossilized...either way this takes a very long time(decaying being an exception)we need not to bother ourself with oil, coal etc also. They are minerals in solid && liquid form. The can't possibly cause climate change this way. davien: Meanwhile the unused carbon still lingers in the atmosphere....in what quantity? The higher the quantity the better the quality. Studies (I wish I can tag the pdf files here) have shown that higher quantity of Carbon in the atmosphere leads to higher flora productivity. davien: Deposits of coal and gas are extracted and burnt...adding even more carbon emissions....Yes bro, its in cycle. davien: I'll even say for the sake of argument that the above is in perfect equilibrium...but then why is marine life,glaciers,soil uptake of CO2 and the lot that is necessary for "carbon sink" dwindling rapidlydwindling rapidly? I totally doubt that. I'm not saying atmospheric carbon compounds(or other GHGs) hasn't increased over time, but, the effect of this increase is negligible. I once plotted a line graph of Nigeria's(Lagos) mean annual temperature(air) between 1910 && 2010. Bros, I realized what we have is a fluctuation/variation && not a complete change as we are made to believe. Although a different result may be gotten if a global scale data is used. I'll search my laptop prolly I may still have graph. |
hannesy: I can make op turn to cat,dear meI dear you I'm not the OP tho |
chisombenedicta: for ur tiny miindlol.. Wetin I do sis? Isn't that what they say in OAU .. "am actually learning the school anthem ATM, I think I now know the first stanza offhand |
moyes5757: I av neva cin anybodi on diz thread in my lyf buh we are all bonded by d spirit of great ife nd if u av dat spirit 2 den u'll. Fill at ome ere....that's it bro. Greatest Ife! |
haydot95: awwww...actually,we don't...we re all there for eachother and cmon,u re wlcm...don't feel like ure a stranger,u re not,just blend in,u dig?yeah, that's comforting, thanks . Happy new month to you |
Timmytimmy: .......Nah! NL is an entirely different world....no one knows anyone and everybody knows everybody....just feel free here.I love bolded rhyme . Thanks bro |
Debbychi: Happy bufday to chiamaka and johnwills,wishing u LLNP..May d blessings of God be with youAmen... 0Happy birthday to them both |
PECULIARGEN: [quote author=padeolu)ayam n chemical engineerind department....wah abt u??ehm! Geography department.. Nice to meet you bro |
dora7891: nope not really not all of us... we just flow dont goI guess I'll pick a seat next to you |
bolaino: Hmmmm, you've raised some other issues. Do you think The ice ages the earth has experienced at different times in it's long history had to do with Climate change? Did civilizations like the Atlantean civilization, Go extinct because they were leaving too much carbon footprints? Or were harming the planet? Or Are Ice ages a different phenomenon?I share this view of urs |
davien: The earth can ofcourse do this but the rate it does it is much more slower than the rate we are changing it....@bolded.... Have you heard of carbon sinks? Do you know flora community depend on these carbon for survival? Do you know that carbon mono oxide has a very little resident time, that it get converted to carbon di oxide within few minutes? So, I'll disagree with that assertion. These gases(GHGs) don't really stay much long in the atmosphere before they get used up either biologically, physically or chemically. Am not saying they don't lead to other environmental issue, but, definitely not climate change. |
^sorry bro, its on the back page. Okay, am a magician, I can make a puzzy talk. Dare me, bring me a clean puzzy, && you'd be marveled at what'll happen afterward |
Ehm! Babies are cuties. I can't wait to have mine. |
It seem you all know eachother outta NL, I wonder why no one is talking to me here *pensive*. maybe I should just walk out && find something else doing while waiting for our session to start. ![]() |
spotit: of course you can choose to believe anything you want, i do also hold my conspiracist opinion in some other areas. what happens to men when they get greedier is what the planet shows us as global warming, food shortage and all. yes every young thing is expected to age, but how delicately u treat it would determine how gracefully it does in the process. it's left to you to choose between the "negligible" effects of your manhandling and the near-zero complications that go with non-catalysed natural process. i guess you're gonna say mankind has tried in taming the mean side of nature, but what's the benefit in taking a drug overdose to stop a personal ailment? what is the relationship between the natural aging of the earth and artificial electronic equipment(functional and derelict) floating increasingly in space plus the hydrocarbon wastes (although cfcs are now banned) pumped everyday here on earth, outrageous devegetation and things? catalytic much? no. negligible, yea?I quite understand the what you are saying. But i will try not to go out of context in communicating my view. Truly, human isnt treating its environment (earth) well. But I still think it is unfair to attribute climate change to man's existience. As i earlier stated, the climate has always been changing and it will continue to change (with or without man).Even before man, the earth environment has gone through a period of excessive warming, which is quite warmer than what we "believe" to be withnessing, also, ice age, the earth has aswell had a much more rise in her sea level, etc. The so called theory of climate change is based on cosensus and not some scientific fact. I've being closely following the climate change politics since 2009 and you'll be surprised that the whole climate change thingy is more or less a hoax. What we are actually withnessing is a slight variation or fluctuation from the climatic mean which is pretty normal. It has happened before, and it will happen again. why then are we worried? Several studies has shown that the mars is getting warmer, will you aswell attribute that to man? bros, truth be told, urbanization and industrialization is indeed affecting the earth but the earth has a way of adjusting to this changes. About the ban on CFCs. It was just immidiately after the CFC ban that the so called scientists come up with the issue of CO2 being a potent GHG. I still but womder why CO2 is considered a pollutant and O2 isnt. Isnt that also being unfair to the plants if we reduce what they their life depends on? |
Mizkelz: Hey!!!! Ewrybdy....mizkelz...chem eng....xpredite n wordite....wordite? |
spotit: see bruv, u have clearly never been in manufacturing. u have not seen data on hazardous waste disposal nor directly witnessed the actual instant effect of industrial materials in the ecosystemHere is it bro, Climate change is as complex as the word climate. Its more than global average temperature increase (global warming). When you talk of climate change, then ur talking of a complete change in weather parameters (temperature, rainfall, atmospheric pressure, wind etc). That said, municipal and industrial air pollutant discharge, ofcourse, its a great issue to be worried about. But I tell you, its effect on the said "climate change" is negligible. |
I strongly disagree with the general notion that human is the main cause of climate change, viz a viz global warming. I see it as more of a natural phenomenon than anthropogenic. The climate has always being changing (which is natural), so have nothing really to worry about. We should start worrying when the climate stop changing. Even before man, the earth has gone through several phases of alternate warming && cooling. Why then are we bothered about the present occurrence of climate variation (not change) since the earth has survived much worse scenario. Although the intensity/severity of climate variability (not change) may be attributed to man's activity. |
With an E8 in physics, I doubt if you will be offered admission into any department in faculty of Technology. Departments in Faculty of science is doubtful aswell. Prolly Botany, Microbiology or any other biological science MAY consider you. But the chances are slim. My advice is that you process ur admission into any department in Social Sciences, there your chances are higher. |
PECULIARGEN: @timmy i stay @ IB. Gv me ya watsapp contact nomba....xo d@ we cn chat beta...what dept are you admitted to? |
superT14: am getting sick and tired of all diz....criously if dey born ASUU or SUG ibikunle or OAU omole well, make dem cos anoda strike again.....nah thunder go strike all of dem.....abi....staying@ hom after being admitted z jz so annoyingI feel ur pain. But its a norm in OAU to observe the yearly strike/closure. We can only hope 2015 strike/closure won't be as long as the one observed this year. |
Dammytrager: UPDATE: 215 days to go #resumption 2014/15 sessiondamn! That's almost a year. Any suggestions on what we can be doing till then? |
