As the world's climate changes, largely due to the spade of industrial "progress" and increase in human number, the emission of Green House gases into the atmosphere has grave implications on human health globally Within this context, 'third world' countri hit by the immediate impact of climate change, even though they contribute least to the cause of the problem -emission of Green House gases, in comparison with their counterparts in the global North. Greenhouse gases (GHGs) have been proven to be responsible for global warming with the consequent threat to climate change. This paper contends that climate change is a major threat facing human health and existence in Nigeria and attempts a critical analysis of the roles of developed and developing countries in contributing to the problem. It raises empathetic tone for the world's less privileges and future generation. The paper focuses on the impacts of climate change on Nigeria's economy, agriculture, health, security paper submits that for the effects of climate change to be effectively resolve or managed in Nigeria and indeed globally, there should be, among other things, a sustained commitment on the part of the developed economies towards assisting developing countries in tackling the problem; attitudinal change and reorientation on the part of the populace towards environmental security and green-friendly initiatives, adaptation to climate change requires public health strategi improves surveillances. The paper ends with way forward on how causes of climate change can be adapted as well as mitigated.As the world's climate changes, largely due to the spade of industrial "progress" and increase in human number, the emission of Green House gases into the atmosphere has grave implications on human health globally Within this context, 'third world' countries, including Nigeria are the worst hit by the immediate impact of climate change, even though they contribute least to the cause of emission of Green House gases, in comparison with their counterparts in the global HGs) have been proven to be responsible for global warming with the consequent threat to climate change.

This work carried out the comparative analysis of briquettes produced from commonly found agricultural wastes product (Maize husk and millet husk) in order to have the maximum utility of the materials. The briquettes are produced based on ratio of 80:20, 70:30, 60:40 and 50:50.While 100:0 (unblended) was used as control for each biomass. 25 % starch paste was used as binder to have a homogenous solution. The briquettes were produced using a simple extruder briquetting machine. The proximate analysis of the raw samples shows that the moisture content of the respective biomass has increased by two fold of the briquettes sample produced and the ash content is less while the briquettes have very high volatile matter which enhance combustion and give briquettes more quality as fuel. Higher ratios of blended briquettes of maize husk have a good flame propagation, high density, ignite faster and produced small amount of ash content after combustion. Hardness, compressive strength and combustibility test of the briquettes produced ascertained all these properties. In conclusion, maize husk briquettes give a better briquettes quality compared to millet husk briquettes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
