Special mention to the AOLMAW (jarus, mosgoon, bobowaja, etc. Make una no vex oh, can't mention everyone), number5 in particular, you brought me out of Ghost Mode, you are that good, thanks for this wonderful piece.

Thanks to everyone who has in one way or another, extinguished the fires burning in my heart everytime someone in this same thread sets one in it. LOL.

A certain man said "No love lost, no love found". On this thread, you'll find love, just to lost it to find it again, and to lost it again, and find it again, and...

I've always wondered what words like "Mixed feelings, bitter-sweet, etc" meant, but I assure you now, that by this thread, I can not only describe them, but draw them (and label their parts) if you give me a paper and a pencil, thanks a lot guys.

It has been a wonderful journey so far, and I pray we make it to the end.

Shout out to my families in these areas that make my CV:

Ekiti state
Kwara state
Kogi state
Bayelsa state.

I read about Climate change from NASA's website. I came up with more questions than answers sir.
1. Anybody with knowledge of meteorology knows that predicting climate over the short time is not an easy thing talk less of trends. Based on the factors mentioned by NASA's website I am not convinced?
2. I saw a graph with a spike in the CO2 levels in the 1950s, I am not an expert but that spike is not enough to explain a drastic climate change. Remember a single variable cannot shift climate. Everything is in balance
3. Increase in CO2 (CO2 even though greenhouse gas actually suffocates fires) will not cause more wild fires but a spike in vegetation growth. Increase concentration of Oxygen however is far more likely to account for more Forest fires.
4. The fact about melting glaciers and high snowfall in record numbers is more of a balance in my opinion than contradiction.
5. The tilt in the axis of our earth as it's orbits the sun is far much more of a risk than CO2 to our climate. So far that is not predictable. A methodology to predict that is of utmost importance.
6. Climate change hysteria and attribution of disasters to climate change reminds alot of superstitious belief where natural disasters are attributed to evil of mankind. It just feels that way to me.
7. I am stronger supporter of sustainability because of economics. That is, I believe that we have finite resources on Earth hence we should strive towards a model that utilize our scarce resources efficiently. The key for me is the free market system. It is best system we have developed as humans for the allocation of economic value in our lives.
8. The pursuit for technological development and better theories is among our keys for having a better relationship with our environment. The bottleneck for solar power and wind is battery power(Highly inefficient). This because they have variable outputs depending on natural causes. At the extreme of both the north and south hemisphere, solar is basically useless.
9. I still believe the key is in nuclear power. Developing nuclear power to be safer, smaller and acceptable might be the future.

Having studied Envtl. Health & Mgt. for 7yrs & 3yrs practice in the field of environment, i can tell you for a fact that climate change is real, though overflogged but then you cannot deny it, AAMOF, No one should deny it cos it's visible to the blind & audible to the deaf.

LocalNietzsche:
Thank you sir. What are the exact predictions of it's consequences? A very good scientific model should make good predictions.

lol bro....hope you had a good day bro. have a pleasant night

DanXplore:
True.

I don't understand what you mean by the bolded, care to explain? Is CO2 the only factor responsible for plant growth and health? One could argue that the increment in CO2 levels would result in more reflection of terrestrial radiation to the earth, consequently raising its temperature (global warming), and therefore increasing the likelihood of fires especially in the tropics. Secondly, if there is a corresponding increase in vegetation from increased CO2, then this could also correspond to increase in O2 (that supports combustion) because plants release O2 also via photosynthesis. More also, an increase in vegetation lush appears to translate to more fuel for fire during the dry seasons. An increase in potential for all the 3 parameters of the fire triangle to cause more fires could be adduced from these scenarios.

The premise of the suffocating effect of CO2 as used to support your argument (albeit implicitly) seems to be flawed from my point of view because I don't see how a CO2 of 0.04% by mass in the earth would prevail over the corresponding 21% oxygen to the point of minimising the incidence of fires in the biosphere.

Except you've got sufficient and objective data to simulate these scenarios, one could only speculate but not say with certainty as you have, what the combined effect of these variables would be.
These individual processes have so much uncertainties in them to determine if they could balance each other out. The best one could attempt to do is to estimate the net effect of these two opposing processes but then all other ecological would suffice.

LMAO. Some theoretical physicists think these are just educated speculations, conspiracies and/or vendetta against oil guys.

Nuclear power is relatively safe and the probability of accidents have been greatly mitigated even as at now. But however small a likelihood of accident is, an accident could still occur and the effects are just so bad that they could transcend through generations. Also, people are worried about the various political and military applications.

4gunners:
In summary, you believe climatic change is an hoax just like Mr Trump.

By the way, who knows our president stand on climatic change.

Good morning local men and women. It's APL DAY. Hurray!!!!

ofelix15:
Climate change has both negative and positive effects depending on how it affects a nation or group of individuals economical.
A perfect case scenario is Russia which have seen climate change as a blessing because of the opening of the Arctic trading sea route. Russia is very please with climate change because they have more to benefit than lose financially.
Countries against climate change are mostly those at the equator or close to the equator, they are opposing because of the rising sea level.

mapman:
Thanks bro. Guess you had a nice one yourself. Today promises to be an eventful day on this thread...We'll be okay. Have an awesome day!

LocalNietzsche:
About rising sea levels at the equator, is there an accurate prediction of increment of the level and time-frames? Is there any map of the region that will be submerged? They are building Eko Atlantic City in Lagos now and other artificial extensions into the coastal regions like Palm islands in Dubai, what is wrong with them? Sinking billions of dollars in something that will submerged in maybe a century?

Finally the day is here, we are hopeful irrespective of the outcome. If the AL no show today or tomorrow or even this week let us not give up...And let us still share information to one another...



##see you at the tower...

Access Bank theory is for Access bank, NNPC theory is that everybody will be paid.. On this note I announce that I have just been paid by Lazarus.

Cbt center: Umuahia

All the best and goodluck to everyone....

With what I have been reading here, I’m afraid to spend my tfare allawee. The way those that have not been paid are even sounding one might think those that have been paid were the ones that “forcefully” asked NNPC to pay them. I’m even trying to console myself with “anti-Access theory” just from nowhere one person just posted; “for everyone that has received alert NNPC wishes you well in your future endeavors”.

Me I didn’t even receive up to 20k, I was just paid 16k(though I haven’t spent 1naira out of it because I don’t want the money, I never asked for it. Even if some people protested to be paid their tfare I’m not among them for God sake).

God please don’t let this 16k be my retirement benefit. How can I be retired even before I’m employed? God help your children, provide tfare alert for those that haven’t gotten yet because nobody trekked to the NNPC Towers. We all used one medium of transportation or the other hence everybody deserves to be paid.

I have leaned down between Tuesday night and today. My friends that saw me jubilating when the alert came in on Tuesday I promised to flex them on Friday, how can I flex them with money that I want to return?

Hmmm... Local man iyaf tired.. If you have a friend like me that have received alert please always checkup on them at least 3times a day, it’s very important.

If the Access theory is true, make dem send me my remaining 4K oo. Lemme count my money again..
