I realize their is so much doomism now and defeatist when it comes to climate activism.
I am nonetheless creating a new activist platform with developers in Kenya and Nigeria etc. Super motivated guys.
Cancel doom and gloom?
Maybe not.
I find writers like Umair Haque on Medium extremely helpful in sketching out the problem.
I want to work on the solution.

In West #Africa, the ideal solution cannot be based on Credit Cards, but should use #MobileMoney, but it's not that easy to implement due to many regulatory issues and barriers (not talking of countries like #Nigeria, where you can do anything you like until you get caught, but is not connected to the CFA Franc zone, that most #Fintech avoid like the plague).

A big El Niño is looming. Here’s what it means for our weather.
How warm water in the Pacific shapes storms, droughts, and record heat around the world.
By Umair Irfan May 30, 2023
"El Niño is the warm phase of the Pacific Ocean’s temperature cycle, and this year’s El Niño is poised to be a big one, sending shock waves into #weather patterns around the world. It’s likely to set new heat records, energize #rainfall in #SouthAmerica, fuel #drought in #Africa, and disrupt the global economy. It may already have helped fuel early-season #heatwaves in #Asia this year.
"'A warming El Niño is expected to develop in the coming months and this will combine with human-induced climate change to push global temperatures into uncharted territory,' said Petteri Taalas, secretary-general of the World Meteorological Organization, in a statement earlier this month. 'This will have far-reaching repercussions for health, food security, water management and the #environment. We need to be prepared.'"
For most of us in the Global North, climate change might be an inconvenience... less rain than we'd like, or maybe more rain than we need, a few unexpectedly hot days, some random cold days...
It can be a bother, and if we're aware of what's really happening, it can also be worrisome, though mostly in an abstract way.
But for much of the Global South, there's nothing abstract about the climate crisis. It's right here and right now.
______________________________
Communities in the Horn of Africa are suffering the impacts of five consecutive poor rainy seasons. This drought has surpassed previous horrific events in 2010-2011 and 2016-2017 in both duration and severity, leaving large swathes of Somalia, southern and south-eastern Ethiopia, and northern and eastern Kenya facing the most prolonged drought on record in the Horn of Africa.
Over 13.2 million livestock — which pastoralist families rely upon for sustenance and livelihoods — have already died across the region. This translates to the loss of more than 180 million litres of milk since the drought began, leaving over 1.4 million children under age 5 across the region without a daily glass of milk, with severe consequences for their nutrition.
Across the Horn of Africa, the drought has driven alarming levels of malnutrition for children and women, threatening their lives and their futures. More than 4.3 million children are expected to be acutely malnourished.
______________________________
Africa is being pummelled by the existing, ongoing, increasing climate emergency, as are large parts of Asia...
______________________________
Countries across Asia have been hit by another round of extreme heat that has toppled seasonal temperature records throughout the region, raising concerns about their ability to adapt to a rapidly changing climate.
After punishing heat waves struck large parts of the continent in April, temperatures spiked again in late May, normally the start of the cooler monsoon season.
The heat wave in Vietnam, expected to last well into June, has already forced authorities to turn off street lights and ration electricity as air conditioning demand threatened to overwhelm the power grid.
Heat waves rolling through parts of eastern and southern China are set to continue, as climate and weather experts warn that hot weather globally is projected to become “more extreme”.
Last week, Shanghai recorded its hottest May day in 100 years as the mercury soared to 36.7°C, surpassing the previous temperature by a full degree.
Swathes of southern China are expected to endure temperatures of more than 35°C in the next week, with temperatures in some areas exceeding 40°C, forecasters have predicted.
"We can't say that these are events that we need to get used to, and adapt to, and mitigate against, because they are only going to get worse as climate change progresses," said Sarah Perkins-Kirkpatrick, a climate scientist with the University of New South Wales in Australia.
______________________________
These conditions are only going to get *worse* as the climate crisis progresses.
We are in an emergency, right here and right now. Our house is on fire. Maybe it's time we started doing something!
