Climate does have a lot to say about how we develop particularly in Africa where extreme climate events are going to be commoner than before. The effects of climate change on health, energy, environment and above all development is a cause for the concern of African climate scientists. As a matter of fact, the importance of global climate change to international development has enrolled non climate scientists like physicists and mathematicians in the bid to study and predict the emerging climate with increasing efficiency.
This blog entry is to renew my earlier call for us to model climate change specifically for the African region without much dependence on GCMs.
So if you are a mathematician, engineer, physisist, atmospheric chemist, or even a social scientist, lets work together on this!
