Petition: Transparency and Review of the free zones and ports impacts To ensure full transparency by releasing data on governance, funding, and operations of free zones. Plus a public review to assess impacts, such as job displacement and value for taxpayers money

People are complaining that they don't understand my petition, and that I should dumb it down, so here goes.
Your country is being cut up into pieces and sold off to corporations.
If you don't sign this petition, you will lose everything.

Water vapour is increasing with and amplifying warming as expected: doi.org/10.1029/2022...
This is intensifying the global water cycle and swings between wet & dry extremes which will only accelerate without rapid and massive cuts in greenhouse gases

Water vapour isotopes over West Africa as observed from space: which processes control tropospheric H2O/HDO pair distributions? Abstract. The West African Monsoon (WAM) represents the main source of rainfall over West Africa and thus has important socio-economic impacts. However, the complex interactions of the large-scale cir...
