Chemical Pesticides that are already banned within European Union (EU) markets are still being used in #Kenya and #Cameroon. These pesticides containing hazardous molecules have been flagged as dangerous to human health and the environment. talkafrica.co.ke/banned-pestici…

Profit-driven Corps are getting set to use Africa as a ground for testing risky Geoengineering techs in the disguise of fighting Climate change. This is unacceptable! AfriTAP is calling you to sign up for the movt. to learn and resist this move. bit.ly/3ynHY1s

“As a climate expert, I consider these environmental manipulation techniques extremely risky. And as an African climate expert, I strongly object to the idea that Africa should be turned into a testing ground for their use.”

“Without using the whole earth as a laboratory, it’s impossible to know whether it would dim anything, let alone how it would affect ecosystems, people and the global climate.”

“Africa is already suffering the effects of climate change, such as drought, floods and erratic weather. And while geoengineering advocates see these technologies as a solution to such problems, the technologies run the danger of upsetting local and regional weather patterns”

“Regardless, advocates have tried to entice African governments by offering to fund research projects, claiming that more research will shed more light on the dangers and benefits of the technology.”

Warning: #AfricaClimateSummit2023 supports neoliberal approaches to the climate crisis. Proposals for "blue carbon markets" are based on deployment of risky marine #geoengineering technologies, ultimate impacts on oceans and marine biodiversity unknown. shorturl.at/FNOS1

📢 Scientists and civil society organizations raised concerns that the Climate Overshoot Commission report could open the door to further solar geoengineering experiments and divert critical time and energy away from real climate solutions. #DangerousDistraction geoengineeringmonitor.org/2023/09/does-t…
