    GLOBAL WARMINGIMPACT TREND MONITORING SYSTEM (ITMS)

    *Peter Aniediabasi John(Research Consultant)

    In the beginning the world must have been experiencing the impacts from inhabitants activities. Though infinitesimal,but it was existing. The activities of man and the resultant effect today is a gradual build-up from mans previous andpresent activities. The accumulation of these activities, with neglects and absence of mind has resulted to the sudden

    appearance of impacts today. The release ofgases into the atmosphere have done so much harm to the environment,leaving the worlds inhabitants at the mercy of the expected negative impacts, which cannot be stopped, but can bemanaged. There are traces and events associated with Global Warming, which can be documented and studied, withproper interpretation to the documented facts. It is a professional idea to note and watch the trend of activities over timeto enable an efficient accumulation ofdata and information, which will help in the interpretation and prediction offuture disastrous events. A multidisciplinary documentation can be used to generate data from the variousenvironmental components including social and health.

    Proper documentation of the changes associated with global warming is possible. This will act as a template fromwhich models can be formed and systems created to enable projections for possible future events. If this is done,proper preparation can be put in place for effective management of the impacts. The rates and types of events may notbe recorded by man at the rate in which they occur. This justifies the reason why the Impact trend Monitoring System(ITMS) should be considered. The system is made up ofvarious components such as multi-phased operators, datainput and retrieval sub-system for two categories. These components interlinks directly with one another through amodel for a resultant development of an event prediction and alarm/warning scheme for end consumers. For aneffective operation of this system, strong unbiased policies/legal systems are required.

    Disaster Management Tool for NigeriaThe current plan in this part of the world does not make provision for future occurrences as regards expected impacts

    from Global Warming. A lot have been done in different locations in Africa, which can be used as data for betterinterpretations. Several studies including EIA, EER, EBS, EA and sometime special studies such as HIA, SIA, Sitespecific meteorological Studies, Noise mapping, Topographical assessment/studies, and many other studies.These are good tools for predictions and projections and to study the trend of change in our environment. Inlocations where intensive studies have been conducted, routine ground trotting is necessary to generate data for trendpattern. Currently, what we need in Nigeria and Africa as a whole is a database of environmental data, with very soundquality control exercise conducted on the data before acceptance. It may also require the establishment of policies toallow specially created agencies to be a compulsory part of a team in any environmental studies or surveys. This factspaved way for the necessity of having a running system such as the ITMS, which includes a world class GIS tool as asub-unit and a fast and real time responding model.
