Africa facing climate consequences, suffering from climate change

The rise in temperatures in Africa is causing droughts, floods and stronger storms, while the people are having difficult to cope up with the change in weather patterns. Other than this there has been a shift in the ecosystem where species such as savannah birds have migrated owing to this rise in temperature. Experts suggested that global warming is the reason as to the slowly melting of snow on top of the famous in Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.

South Africa, the country’s economic backbone has not taken part in reducing emissions. It is rated as Africa’s largest emitter in 2003 releasing some 318 million tones of carbon dioxide. During that same year United States released some 5,871 million tones of carbon dioxide. In recent note South Africa have said that they are willing to stop global warming and reduce emissions.

Although compared to other countries Africa has negligible part in the overall emissions. greenhouse
In this case it is not Africa’s fault. Other than the States being one of the largest there are two nations in Asia who are nearby India and China. Both are to surpass United States as the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitter.

Africa facing effects of climate change

Parts of Africa are facing the effects of global warming and climate change. This also leading to problems to the already poverty country. There are places in Africa which are being drier and some being wet. They are seeing one of the worst droughts and it might continue owing to climate change. As a result a part of Africa is becoming drier leading to starvation and the rest being covered in floods. The ironic thing about this situation is that Africa had no contribution in the global warming and climate change being a poor country (those of you u have been offended dont worry my country is also considered poor so dont worry).

The only thing Africa can hope for is that industrial nations take notice and take action because countries that have no part in the disaster are been affected.
