The toxic gas flares fuelling Nigeria’s climate change – BBC News
Climate change has had a devastating impact on Nigeria. Fertile lands are turning into deserts in the north, while flash floods have become more common in the south.
Nigeria’s oil industry is making the situation worse, as the practice of flaring – the burning of natural gas that is released when oil is extracted – is common, despite being illegal.
It is a major source of greenhouse gases and a contributor to climate change.

The Bank of England says the UK economy is in for another tough few months but it believes that the impact of coronavirus restrictions will not be as bad as last year’s lockdown and the rollout of vaccines will help the economy bounce back.
The economy is expected to shrink by 4.2 percent in the first three months of this year. However the bank says there could be a rapid recovery from spring onwards.
As the government’s furlough scheme winds down the Bank say the unemployment rate is likely to peak at 7.8% by the middle of the year

Man with guns arrested near Donald Trump rally in Coachella, California, then released | BBC News
Suspect Vem Miller, in illegal possession of a shotgun and a loaded handgun, was arrested an intersection near Donald Trump’s rally in Coachella, California on Saturday, police said.
The 49-year-old suspect was driving a black SUV when he was stopped at a security checkpoint by deputies, who located the two firearms and a “high-capacity magazine”.
He was then taken into custody “without incident”, the Riverside County Sheriff’s office said, and booked on possession of a loaded firearm and possession of a high-capacity magazine. He was later released.
The US Secret Service said Trump “was not in any danger”, adding that the incident did not impact protective operations.

Tesla boss Elon Musk has unveiled the firm’s long-awaited robotaxi, the Cybercab, at the Warner Bros Studios in Burbank, California.
The futuristic-looking vehicle, with no pedals or steering wheel, deposited Musk in front of an audience eager to hear details about a project he considers key to Tesla’s next chapter.
The multi-billionaire reiterated his view that fully self-driving vehicles will be safer than those operated by humans.
Although Musk is hopeful for production to begin “before 2027”, analysts are doubtful on how realistic this is.

Hurricane Milton is going to be “deadly and catastrophic”, officials are warning, as millions leave Florida ahead of the storm’s arrival
Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis, has been speaking in what will be his last briefing before Hurricane Milton makes landfall late on Wednesday night.
“51 counties remain under a state of emergency but authorities are “prepared and we will respond”, he said.
He adds “there is still hope” Milton could weaken further before it reaches Florida after it was downgraded to a category four storm earlier by the National Hurricane Center.

They should dig wider wells and use shelter the well, it is impossible to work in such conditions, as for tapioca, maybe hey can improvise by using ropes and pivots to pull the tapioca nearer the heat instead of walking in themselves.

As long as you still waiting on government nothing will get done. The local Nigerian community in the north was supposed to plant 3 trees for every one tree they cut down. And the local community in the south was supposed to find ways to capture that natural gas so they can have electricity.

If they didn't burn the gas and just let it out it would be a lot worse. Methane is 100-ish more efficient green house gas than CO2. Don't let any methane escape!
@phrenologisto
January 22, 2024 at 7:23 pm
Flaring is preferable to venting in all circumstances. Natural gas has >80x the immediate global warming potential (GWP) as CO2, and only reduces over time because it oxidizes to CO2 in the atmosphere. The only fix is to leave it in the ground, but since we're deciding to continue to burn oil all over the world, burning off the higher GWP gasses before they contribute to warming is SIGNIFICANTLY better in terms of global heating than it is to simply let it flow out of the ground.

If you look at who owns what in the world just lookup Blackrock and Vanguard. Why because they own 85% of everything. Yep everything, From metals to media to pharmaceuticals. When you consider that these 2 companies have such a large interest why do the monopolies commission not intervene? Then look at who owns these companies, you will be surprised. Look at Yahoo finance, twitter, IBM, pepsi, coke, BP, Exon, banks, visa, mastercard, the fed, cbs, nbc, hbo, cnn, apple, android and airplanes and many more. Owners are Bush, Royal Family, obama, rossini, Clintons, vanderbilt, rothchild and so on. So when social media blocks negative posts about vaccines you know why.

Hear the word of the Lord, because the Lord has a charge to bring
against you who live in the land:
“There is no faithfulness, no love,
no acknowledgment of God in the land.
2 There is only cursing, lying and murder,
stealing and adultery;
they break all bounds,
and bloodshed follows bloodshed.
3 Because of this the land dries up,
and all who live in it waste away;
the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky
and the fish in the sea are swept away.

The narrative of this documentary is wrong and potentially misleading.
It's not about climate change but damage to the ecosystem and most importantly pollution of the atmosphere which endangers people's health.
In the Niger Delta it's about soot. Climate change is not our problem.
