How much does Africa contribute to global carbon emissions?
"#ReconAfrica’s projections of 120 billion barrels of oil [in the #Okavango Basin in #Namibia and #Botswana] could produce a “carbon gigabomb” of 51.6 gigatonnes of #emissions.
#BP’s big new gas plans in West Africa pose climate and biodiversity threats in #Senegal, and lucrative contracts with #ENI, #ExxonMobil, BP, #Shell and #Total threaten #Mozambique.
Our communities cannot risk a repeat of the devastation the fossil fuel industry brought to the Niger Delta.."

The Namibian and Botswana governments may be risking their water resources for oil and gas revenue. They have licensed a Canadian firm, ReconAfrica, to prospect for oil in the Cubango Okavango River Basin
Five years ago, I tented out on the savanna amongst wild elephants in Botswana. I saw hundreds and hundreds of elephants. They are beautiful animals. They also fart pretty much nonstop. #elephants #botswana #WateringHole #elephant

Ok. Es hat hier im Emsland richtig klassisch ein paar Stunden geschüttet.
Die Gattin und ich sind trotzdem los um dem Verwandschaftsdampf zu entkommen.
Schön an der Ems lang und durch einen großen Mischwald.

Scottish Aviation Bulldog, Series 120. Now carrying a civilian registration, this Bulldog still shows its pugnacious lines. Developed from the Beagle Pup, this military trainer was highly successful, being used not just by the UK, but also by Malaysia, Sweden, Kenya and Lebanon amongst others. Here we see a former Botswana Air Force example at Cotswold Airport in the UK. This was unusual as it was a light attack variant with underwing hard points. #Botswana #UK #RAF #Lebanon #Kenya #Sweden #Malaysia #BeaglePup #ScottishAviation #military #avgeek #aircraft #lightattack #trainer #CotswoldAirport

This used to be one of my Twitter mantras, so I guess I should restart it here.
For a moment of mindfulness, nothing beats Elephant watching on the Chobe river in Botswana. And you can do so via their webcam. Just sit back, count the elephants, and enjoy.

A Sociable weaver's giant nest in Namibia, probably the most spectacular structure built by any bird.
The Sociable weaver (Philetairus socius) is a species of bird in the weaver family found across #SouthAfrica, #Namibia and #Botswana. This species construct large compound community nests that resemble huts, complete with a sloping thatched-grass roof that sheds rain. These nests are the world’s largest and most populated tree houses, with some weighing up to a ton or more and measuring up to 20 feet wide and 10 feet tall.
Built around large and sturdy structures like acacia trees or sometimes even telephone poles, the nests provide shelter from direct sunshine, rain, drought, and cold. They are large enough to house over a hundred pairs of birds, consisting of several generations at a time. Each breeding pairs tends to its own compartment with its private entrance and line the interior with soft downy plant material. These entrances are packed closely together and when seen from below, the communal nest has a honeycomb appearance. These #birds are constantly making home improvements, adding new nesting chambers, and some nests have remained occupied for over a century!

A fair point is that there are plenty of long-term stable democracies in the "global South" that could be studied for the same type of question, e.g. #Botswana [2], #Senegal, #India, #Bangladesh, and most of the Latin American states that had temporary interludes of CIA-installed fascist dictatorships.
