EU Ambassador, Climate Diplomat Calls for Urgent Action as African Continent Splits
The article is a timely reminder of the need for urgent action, by continuously monitoring the region’s geological and climate conditions and implementing measures to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.
Nigeria’s Climate Diplomat and the Ambassador of the EU’s European Climate Pact, Professor Aniebiet Inyang Ntui has written an article exploring the relationship between climate change and geological activity as the African Continent is Splitting. The article which offers a valuable contribution to the discourse on climate action was published on WeDontHaveTime AB (publ), a reputable Swedish-based social network dedicated to addressing climate issues.
The article explains how melting ice caps in Greenland and Antarctica are causing a significant shift in the weight distribution of the Earth’s crust, leading to pressure on the East African Rift System and increased rainfall in the region, causing erosion, and further weakening the Earth’s crust. This process could exacerbate the geological activity in the African Rift System, leading to more frequent and severe incidents.
The article stresses the urgent need for action to mitigate the potential impacts on the region’s people and wildlife, as East Africa is home to a significant proportion, over 40% of Africa’s mammal species, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and plants. Millions of people also depend on the land for their livelihoods, making the situation even more critical.
