Climate Change and the Economic Vulnerability of Household in Niger Delta Region
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Recently there has been a flurry of activities regarding climate change in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Some of these have been by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and civil society groups while others are more academic and policy-oriented. In terms of research, it has been estimated that over 70 million cubic meters daily, amounting to about 70 million tonnes of carbon dioxide are flared off during oil and gas exploration and production activities in the Niger Delta region (UNDP/World Bank 2004). Approximately 75 percent of total gas production in Nigeria is flared. It has been further estimated that Nigeria accounts for about 17.2% of global gas flaring. As a result, more gas is flared in Nigeria's Niger Delta than anywhere in the world. Flaring in Nigeria contributes a measurable percentage of the world's total emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and is probably the greatest contributor of GHGs in the Niger Delta region. Due to the low efficiency of many of the flares much of the gas is released as methane (which has a high warming potential), rather than carbon dioxide. At the same time, the low-lying Niger Delta is particularly vulnerable to the potential effects of sea levels rising.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
