The developed world needs to arrest their green house emissions in order to save Africa

IIPM BEST MBA INSTITUTE
It may not be very long before Africa is completely erased from the World Atlas. If the effects of unending poverty, AIDS & war destroyed almost everything, then global warming is finishing the rest by creating havoc in the region by causing irrevocable damages to the environment. The entire ecosystem, including snow clad mountains, rain-forests, and beautiful beaches, are on the verge of extinction.

The irony is, Africa (constituting 14% of the global population in its 57 countries) isn’t bearing this catastrophe as an outcome of its own insensitivities towards nature, (majority of Africans are poor and thus have negligible access to electricity and transport; Africans contribute only 3% of the global greenhouse gas emissions) but as an outcome of the monstrous green house emissions of its developed counterparts like Australia and Canada with the US leading the pack (constituting only 5 % of the global population and contributing a staggering 25% of the global greenhouse gas emission). Of all the African nations, Nigeria, Liberia and Congo have relatively higher greenhouse emissions and that too on account of oil and gas exploration and deforestation, which in turn is driven to pacify the insatiable appetite of the developed world. It is most unfortunate, for Africa being an egalitarian society, most of the inhabitants still depend heavily on agriculture for their survival, and thus environment becomes all the more critical for their sustenance.
