“The temperature of the atmosphere near the earth’s surface is warmed through a natural process called the greenhouse effect. Visible, shortwave light comes from the sun to the earth, passing unimpeded through a blanket of thermal, or
greenhouse, gases composed largely of water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. Infrared radiation reflects off the planet’s surface toward space but does not easily pass through the thermal blanket. Some of it is trapped and reflected downward, keeping the planet at an average temperature suitable to life, about 16 centigrade. Growth industry, agriculture, and transportation since the Industrial Revolution has produced additional quantities of the natural greenhouse gases plus chloro-fluorocarbons and other gases, augmenting the thermal blanket and this has caused what we call global warming today.”

When Mozambique and South Africa ended their internal problems in the early 1990s, they enacted wide scale amnesties, and in both countries the rule of law quickly improved.

The restoration of public security, meanwhile, allowed the provision of basic services. And though their criminal-justice systems remained woefully underfunded, both were finally able to start providing citizens with basic protections.
