Climate Change Education on Twitter |
|---|
|
On the 10th of August 2016, I was hosted by Climate Change Initiative of Africa (CHAINafrica) to discuss the causes and impact of climate change to a global audience on Twitter. With the hashtag #CHAINafrica, over 40 people were actively engaged with the discussion. Please find below the tweets I shared with the audience.
1. Thank you @ClimateChange54 and everyone who is here to learn more about #ClimateChange. I am very pleased to be sharing my story with you. 2. Thank you @@skosei001 @ for having me. @rasbugri @DorrenDorys @BalrajArpit I acknowledge your presence. 3. @AmponsemJoshua is a climate advocate and an environmental scientist from the University of Cape Coast in Ghana. #CHAINafrica 4. #ClimateChange refers to a long-term significant change in the Earth's climate - mainly temperature, over several decades. #CHAINafrica 5. Major changes that factors in #ClimateChange includes #Temperature, #Precipitation, #Wind Patterns, #Humidity. #CHAINafrica 6. Importantly, #ClimateChange can occur Naturally ( eg. by volcanos) & also by artificial activities - man made. #CHAINafrica 7. How & when did mankind cause #ClimateChange? Any ideas? Think?#CHAINafrica 8. Beginning the 20th century, man decided to advance - urbanize & modernize. That's when it begun. Eg. Burning #FossilFuel! #CHAINafrica 9.The results of Urbanization & #Modernization was & is an increase in atmospheric Greenhouse Gases #GHGs. #CHAINafrica 10. Through urbanization we utilized more Earth resources and altered the planet's Greenhouse Effect! #CHAINafrica Then #GlobalWarming begun 11. When the sun shines on earth, some is reflected & some becomes heat via #GHGs. #CHAINafrica 12. The trapping of heat from sunlight by GHGs is naturally designed to keep the average surface temp of Earth🌏 around 14▫C.#CHAINafrica 13. Without GHGs (CFC, CO2, Sulphur Oxides, HFC, methane, etc), the average surface temp of Earth would be -19▫C (very cold). #CHAINafrica 14. Meaning that, we cannot survive without GHGs and we also cannot survive if they exceed too much background concentrations. #CHAINafrica 15. Simply put, the higher #GHGs concentration, the #hotter the Earth will be. #CHAINafrica 16. What is the data behind all these talk on #ClimateChange? Share with me if you have any data regarding #GlobalWarming #CHAINafrica 17. June 2016 was the hottest June in modern history & the 14th consecutive month that heat records have been broken. #CHAINafrica 18. World Bank analysis: Ignoring #ClimateChange can put 100million more pple into poverty by 2030 - 43million will be in Africa. #CHAINafrica 19. Just as the risks of #ClimateChange are immense, so are the rewards of #ClimateAction if we invest in our people & our Earth. #CHAINafrica |
