Cape Coast, Jan. 20, GNA – Ghana’s 0.05 contribution to the greenhouse gases (GHG) such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane has been described as minimal, yet, it is one of the countries to suffer the greatest impact of climate change.
This is due to the fact that the effect of the phenomenon on tropical countries is higher.
GHG are responsible for the warming of the earth and scientific evidence indicates that due to activities of man, they had greatly increased over the years impacting negatively on agriculture thereby threatening food security in most tropical countries. Mr Theodore Asimeng, an officer of the Environmental Application Technology, said this at a day’s training workshop on “Climate Change and Right to Food in Ghana,” organized by the Central Regional branch of the General Agricultural Workers Union (GAWU) with support from Action Aid Ghana in Cape Coast on Thursday.

Rising temperatures during the day are due to increasing CO2, and at night CO2 levels decrease – causing temperatures to plummet.
This is due to the fact that the effect of the phenomenon on tropical countries is higher.
I thought they said it affected the poles the most.
How times have changed. Once upon a time they just wore bedraggled clothes and chanted “alms for the poor”
Now they wear suits, travel in chauffeur driven mercs and demand alms.
and they are in charge of our governments, and the largest banks and corporations who own those governments
Whatever sounds the most drastic is what GHGs cause. Yesterday the poles today the tropics. Yesterday warming and today cooling.
Now if Ghana had Greenland’s climate he might have a point.
It does not? Who would have guessed!! They are only inches away on the map! 😉
I thought we were told we would see the biggest effect at the poles first? Guess they cannot keep their lies straight.
