That emphasis is not misplaced considering what benefits have occurred in the world based on the advances in these fields. So in many countries, Nigeria not excepted, Economics is made a slave of Politics whereas in reality Politics should be subservient to Economics. Is that why Economics is called the Dismal Science, that is science that is gloomy, depressing and even pessimistic? Nigeria is a member of that economy but plays no significant role in the shaping of that future. Climate change is about the economy and our economists ought to factor climate change into our decision-making.
