Global warming
Africa at high risk as global warming set to wreak havoc – floods and
disease expected to worsen
Michael McCarthy
LONDON: The world’s poor – and Africa in particular – will be the hardest hit by
global warming this century, says a UN report on climate change.
Heavier floods all over the world, worse droughts, more violent storms, failing
agriculture and spreading disease can be expected, the report warns.
The underprivileged and destitute in developing countries will feel the impact the
most, and the income gap with developed countries will widen.
The report is the official view of the UN’s intergovernmental panel on climatic
change (IPCC). The 1 000-page study complements a similar report on the
science of global warming and concludes that the world’s average temperature will
rise by up to 6 C by 2100 with sea levels rising by an average of up to 88 cm.
In high latitudes the temperature is likely to be greater than the average. This
means glaciers and polar icecaps melting, countless species of animals, plants
and bird life dying out, farmland turning to desert, fish-supporting coral reefs
destroyed, and low-lying island states in the Pacific and Caribbean under water.
Northern hemisphere countries would probably become hotter, bringing a rise in
deaths from heatstroke in cities and the onset of tropical diseases like malaria and
West Nile virus.
Africa, already suffering severe economic and social problems, would be most
vulnerable to the effects of the warming. Disease levels could shoot up, especially
in crowded cities along the coast, which could also face a rise in sea level.
In Europe, the southern counties are more likely to be affected, with an increased
risk of water shortage and deterioration in soil quality that would affect agriculture.
In more northerly countries, flooding will be worse and tropical diseases can
become endemic.
Roger Higman, Friends of the Earth’s senior climate campaigner said: ‘This
catastrophe was made in the rich countries of the north. Governments in industrial
countries must agree to radical cuts in our use of coal, oil and gas, and a big
increase in the use of renewable power. If we do not act now, it will be too late.’
The world’s governments will meet in Germany this year to try and agree on ways
of achieving the Kyoto protocol on greenhouse gases.

CONDUCTING THE ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY
• Your essay must be argumentative and relevant to the group of articles that you have
sourced.
• Definition of an Argumentative Essay
An argumentative essay is a type of essay that presents arguments about both sides of
an issue. It could be that both sides are presented equally balanced, or it could be that
one side is presented more forcefully than the other. It all depends on the writer, and what
side he supports the most. The general structure of an argumentative essay follows this
format:
o Introduction: Attention Grabber, Background, Information, Statement.
o Body: Body paragraphs (Each paragraph should present a major argument that
you want to convey to the reader).
o Counterargument: An argument to refute earlier arguments and give weight to
the actual position.
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
o Conclusion: Rephrasing the statement, major points, call to attention,
or concluding remarks.
{{{
• Function of an Argumentative Essay
o An argumentative essay presents both sides of an issue. However, it presents
one side more positively or meticulously than the other one, so that readers
could be swayed to the one the author intends. The major function of this type
of essay is to present a case before the readers in a convincing manner,
showing them the complete picture.
• Examples:
o Importance of the atmosphere.
o Causes and effects of ozone depletion.
o Reducing ozone depletion.
o Greenhouse Effect.
o Global warming: evidence, causes, and consequences, with reference to Africa.
o Impact of climate and climate change on Africa’s environment and people.
o U.S. President, Donald Trump’s view on climate change and global warming
being a “hoax”
As opposed to;
Teenage climate change activist, Greta Thunberg’s view of climate change
being; an existential (relating to the existence of) crisis that humanity is currently
faced with.

CURRICULUM CONTENT: GLOBAL WARMING
Global warming is burning the
Earth.
Sir James Bevan, Chief Executive of the Environment Agency Royal Society
24 September 2018
Greta Thumberg’s UN speech:
... “Change is coming whether you like it or not”
Global warming is one of the problems which the whole world is aware of. It can be said that
it is the product of society’s development without giving much concern to nature. Countries
are addressing this problem to try and find a solution to this problem.
The recent studies in this sphere have proved beyond a shadow of doubt that the temperature
of the atmosphere is increasing each year. The increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in
the atmosphere is considered as the contributing reason for this global phenomenon. This
has caused an increase of the temperature by about 1 degree Fahrenheit per year.

It is not just the responsibility of the various governments to take steps for preventing this. It
is high time to make strong decisions and unite to protect our land and the planet from
dilapidation. Each one of us has a duty to do what we can, to prevent this imminent disaster.
Some simple steps are enough in order to prevent this big problem.
Bill Gates says ending COVID-19 pandemic 'easier'
than solving climate change.
Cutting greenhouse gas emissions takes the collective effort of governments
around the world, Gates said.
Microsoft co-founder and billionaire climate activist Bill Gates on Sunday claimed that
eradicating climate change would be harder than ending the coronavirus pandemic.
Gates, who has funnelled millions into coronavirus relief efforts over the past year, told
the BBC that ending the pandemic is "very, very easy" in comparison to the climate crisis,
which will get worse unless governments worldwide aid in this effort.
In fact, Gates said that funding a solution to climate change would "the most amazing thing
humanity has ever done."
Currently, the world emits about 50 billion tonnes of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere
each year. The goal is to lower emissions net zero, which means attaining an equal
balance between the greenhouse gases that are put into the atmosphere and the
greenhouse gases that are taken out.
Cutting these emissions takes the collective effort of governments around the world, he
argued.
"We need to have price signals to tell the private sector that we want green products," Gates
said.
Governments will not only have to heavily invest in the research and development of new
green products, but they will also have to allow for these products and technologies to grow
in the market, the outlet reported.
Although this effort takes more than just one person, Gates said during an interview on CBS'
"60 minutes" that he is paying $7 million a year to offset his own carbon footprint.
Aside from his own efforts, Gates is encouraging others -- if they can afford to do so -- to
buy carbon offsets and green products which may get move the world closer to net-zero
emissions. His hope is that in doing so, the production cost for reducing carbon emissions
will decline while the quality of products will increase.
Although it will be hard, Gates said it is not impossible.
"There are days when it looks very hard," he said. "If people think it is easy, they're wrong.
If people think it is impossible, they're wrong."

1.3.5 IMPACTS ON PEOPLE
Every degree Celsius that the planet heats up, crop yields will go down 5 to 15
percent. Food insecurity can lead to mass human migration and political instability.
(2)
Global warming will cause infectious diseases such as malaria, cholera, or dengue to
spread to many more areas of the planet. (2)
People around the world are affected by extreme weather events, such as hurricanes
or typhoons, floods, heat waves, wildfires, droughts, and snowstorms. (2)

Downloaded from hlayiso.com
Increase in disease and waterborne disease (2)
Extreme heat can lead to exhaustion, heat cramps, heat stroke, and
heat-related death. People with chronic lung or heart illnesses or other
conditions are at greater risk of heat-related complications or death. (2)
IMPACTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT
Warmer temperature cause sea level to rise due to the thermal
expansion of seawater. Water from melting glaciers and the ice sheets
of Greenland and the Antarctica would also add water to the ocean. (2)
More severe heat waves, floods, and droughts are expected in a
warmer climate. (2)
Climate change can alter where species live and how they interact, which could
fundamentally transform current ecosystems. (2)

hydrogen mobility, can help reduce CO2 emissions and thus
fight global warming. (2)
Sustainable infrastructure
In order to reduce the CO2 emissions from buildings - caused by heating, air
conditioning, hot water or lighting - it is necessary both to build new low energy
buildings, and to renovate the existing constructions. (2)
Sustainable agriculture & forest management
Encouraging better use of natural resources, stopping massive deforestation as well
as making agriculture greener and more efficient should also be a priority. (2)
Reforestation is the most cost-effective way to prevent global warming,
trees absorb carbon dioxide so planting more trees can help reduce
the amount of carbon in our atmosphere. (2)
Ensuring sustainable development
A successful global compact on climate change must include financial
assistance from richer countries to poorer countries to help make the
transition to low-carbon development pathways and to help adapt to the impacts of
climate change. (2)

Brain drain loading: SA’s ’emigration exodus’ is causing a major problem
Wherefore art thou, skilled workers? South Africa is losing its brightest sparks to mass
emigration while struggling to find replacements.
by Head 22-10-2021
South Africa is losing skilled workers faster than it can hire replacements from abroad,
sparking a wave of concern amongst some of the biggest companies in the country. That’s
according to Marisa Jacobs of Xpatweb, who claimed this week that an ’emigration exodus’
of highly-trained workers is creating a brain drain on our shores.
EMIGRATION EXODUS LEAVES TOP JOBS EMPTY
Jacobs has identified that many South Africans are choosing to pursue international
opportunities, in order to earn more money and potentially create opportunities for their
families back home. However, as our best and brightest flock overseas, the same enthusiasm for
skilled workers to ply* their trade in SA is missing:
“It cannot be ignored that a contributor to the ever-increasing skills shortages in South Africa, is
the exodus of skilled and experienced professionals moving abroad. Their motivation is to pursue
international exposure, take advantage of earning a foreign currency, gain global experience,
and create opportunities for their families.”
“The big concern is indeed the sad loss of South African professionals who have chosen to
emigrate. However, it has also raised another glaring concern. There are companies in dire need
of filling key positions to conduct their business.”
“Failure to find suitable South African candidates for these roles has resulted in Human Resource
professionals casting their lines further afield with the hopes of snagging professionals abroad.”

paragraph. Write the number (2.1.1-2.1.8) and the correct word next to it.
Most water evaporates from 2.1.1 (oceans/rivers) to form moist air. When water leaves trees
and plants as water vapour 2.1.2 (evapotranspiration/evaporation) takes place. The water
vapour rises and cools this process is called 2.1.3 (evaporation/condensation), when the
water vapour turns back into water droplets 2.1.4 (condensation/evapotranspiration) occurs
and 2.1.5 (rain/clouds) form. Off). 2.1.6 (Precipitation / Percolation) takes place and the
water lands on the earth’s surface. Water drains into rivers, and this is called 2.1.7 (surface

FIGURE2.3
LHWP
Lesotho is an LEDC in southern Africa with an abundance of water. It is completely surrounded by
South Africa, which is a much richer country and also short of water. This circumstance has led to
the ambitious Lesotho Highlands Water Project - one of Africa's largest engineering schemes.
The project involves damming some of Lesotho's major rivers - most of which flow south into the
Senqu (known to South Africans as the Orange River). This damming process has created large
artificial lakes. The water from the lakes is then diverted north (through tunnels under the
mountains) to South African rivers. These rivers lead to the Vaal Dam, which supplies the densely
populated urban and industrial regions around Johannesburg and Pretoria.
South Africa pays Lesotho royalties of around US$1.5 million a month for this water supply. The
project was first thought of in the 1950s, but the treaty formalising the project was not signed until
1986.
The project's objectives
1. To provide funds for Lesotho by transferring water from the catchment of the
Senqu/Orange River in Lesotho to meet the growing demand for water in South Africa's
major industrial and population centres.
2. To generate hydroelectric power for Lesotho.
3. To promote the general development of the remote and underdeveloped mountain
regions of Lesotho.
4. To provide water for irrigation and drinking water supply.

Africa's scarce water supply in the future.

2.4. Refer to FIGURE 2.4 showing Sustainable water use and then answer the questions that
follow.
FIGURE 2.4
Water Sustainability – Securing a sustainable future
Water is a finite resource, meaning that it cannot be readily replaced by natural means at a pace quick enough
to keep up with consumption. Water conservation is an issue that hits close to home for South Africans as
our climate is classified as semi-arid, and with an average rainfall of 464mm per year, it ranks South Africa as
one of the top 30 driest countries in the world. Due to the sensitivity of our climate, we have also been one
of the first countries to experience the effects of climate change on our weather, causing the recent and
ongoing droughts and floods in South Africa. These events are not isolated and affect vast areas of the country
— areas that are also responsible for producing a large portion of food in South Africa. With an increase in
extreme weather events, the conservation of water as one of the building blocks of life is essential.
Current water levels in South African agriculture
According to the National Business Initiative (NBI), the agricultural industry uses roughly 60% of the available
water in South Africa. Therefore, it is no surprise that it is one of the first to feel the effects of the lack and
mismanagement of water. The incorrect management of water and wastewater can lead to a whole host of
environmental and social issues, including water shortages, soil erosion, aquifer salinisation, and pollution,
all of which affect the ability of farmers to produce crops sustainably and cost-effectively.
To effectively reduce the pressure placed on our water resources, we need to mitigate and reduce the risks
associated with improper water management whilst encouraging the continuous improvement of
management practices. The mismanagement of water and wastewater by one person has the potential to
affect whole communities downstream; therefore, every person needs to do their part in ensuring South
Africa’s water future. Every drop counts when it comes to sustainable water management, including safe and
appropriate treatment and disposal of wastewater generated.

QUESTION 3: GEOGRAPHICAL SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES
Study the background information on Tugela below and answer the questions that follow.
GENERAL INFORMATION ON TUGELA
INFORMATION: TUGELA
The uThukela River originates as a stream on the 3 050 m high Mont-aux-Sources plateau near
the merger point of the Lesotho-Free State provincial borders. Its upper course, which lies within
Royal Natal National Park, flows through the Drakensberg range before coming down fast through
a series of waterfalls having a total drop of 948 m. The river cuts through the Tugela Gorge at the
foot of the escarpment (about 1,500 m above sea level) and is quickly joined by many tributaries.
The uThukela River ends its course of 502 km at the Indian Ocean, about 84 km north of Durban.
The mouth is almost completely blocked in times of normal flow by a sandbar. Its narrow valley
and alluvial deposits restrict irrigation.
The climate in this area is mild and generally warm and temperate. The summers have a good
deal of rainfall, while the winters have very little. The average annual temperature is 19,4°C at the
Tugela Mouth resort and the average annual rainfall is 679 mm.
