A Professor at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), Philip Adetiloye, has said that recent findings have shown that aerial bombing is the cause of climate change.

Adetiloye, a cropping system specialist with bias in agro-climathology, said unusual rainfall patterns, heat wave, ice rains, black rains, melting of polar ice and sea level rise, hurricanes, typhoons, floods as well as earthquakes were all effects of the climate change.

He urged world leaders to put an end to the spate of aerial bombings, saying the action has greatly contributed to the adverse effect of climate change being witnessed in the world.
He faulted claims that greenhouse gas emissions were responsible for global warming in Africa and other continents, adding that the climate change was being caused by aerial bombing wars.

The Don lamented that African nations suffer most from the climate change that arose from aerial bombing wars because most of the wars were being fought close to or within the African continent.
He said “bombing wars are responsible for climate change all over the world; from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to the Gulf war, to the Iraqi war to the Afghanistan war. The various climate change scenarios in Nigeria, Africa and other parts of the world happened soon after aerial bombing of Iraq in the Gulf war.

“It is the forceful pressure released back into the atmosphere by these massive bomb explosions that forcefully disrupted and altered the directions of the trade winds and world rainfall patterns.”
To curb the proliferation of aerial bombing, Adetiloye called for the establishment of a Global Security Council with equal representation from all continents.

“The proposed Global Security Council should also put in place a treaty that bans the manufacture, distribution, sales and use of ground or aerial bpmbs, missiles and nuclear bombs to prosecute wars, if there is indeed a serious concern about mitigating climate change.”
