What causes global warming?

November 23rd, 2011

Global warming occurs when the concentration of certain gases known as greenhouse gases, increases in the air, This was caused by human action, industrial activity, especially CO2 and chlorofluorocarbons. Which is mainly carbon dioxide, which is generally produced by the use of coal, petroleum, gas and deforestation and forest burning. Nitric acid is produced by vehicle and industrial emissions, while methane emissions caused by industrial and agricultural activities. Chlorofluorocarbons CFCs damage the ozone layer as well as greenhouse gases causing global warming, but now removed the Montreal Protocol. Carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, methane, nitrous oxide are polluting gases are accumulating in the atmosphere and trapping more heat from the sun. While the oceans and vegetation capture more CO2, its ability to be a “roof” is now redundant due to emissions. This means that every year, the cumulative total amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere increases thus accelerating global warming.

Throughout these hundred years the world’s energy consumption increased spectacularly. Approximately 70% of energy used by developed countries; and 78% of energy comes from fossil fuels. This creates an imbalance that leaves some regions impoverished and others reaping the benefits. Meanwhile, the amount of funding for renewable energy that can not be depleted (solar, wind, biomass, hydro, especially mini and micro hydro), which can reduce fossil fuel use, both in developed and developing countries remains extremely low, in comparison with the financial assistance and investments allocated to fossil fuels and nuclear energy. » Read more: What causes global warming?

How to reduce the impact of global warming

November 14th, 2011

Theories about the cause of global warming or especially an increase in greenhouse gases, more especially the longer it is human CO2 gases, volcanic activity and sea surface warming. The last two because obviously we can not do anything because it is a natural process. We can only try to let go and quickly adapt. But if that is caused by humans, we are still able to act, because it is our own. For sea surface warming, some experts consider that it is a domino effect of global warming. But until now not known where the first, warming sea level or an increase in CO2.

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2007 had issued a statement that the possibility of human-induced climate change is about 90% where the main cause of increase in greenhouse gases such as Carbon Dioxide gas increases caused by the use of fossil fuels and land use change from forest the economic value of land such as settlements and plantations, while the increase in methane and nitrous oxide gases are caused by agricultural activities and livestock. Methane gas is also produced by decaying garbage. So if increasing greenhouse gases was due to human error in energy management, forests, agriculture, livestock and garbage.

All need energy, and so far we do not utilize renewable energy. Energy management of human error by the accused as the main cause of global warming increase. So this energy must be managed properly. The main energy source on earth is the sun’s energy. But humans rarely make use of this energy. Plants naturally have to use it through the process of photosynthesis. » Read more: How to reduce the impact of global warming

Climate Changes Due to Natural Disasters

Increased earthquake activity associated with global warming

Dr. Tom Chalko, chief geophysicist at the Austrian Science Engineering Researchers have noted an increase in earthquake activity which is currently five times greater than twenty years ago. Citing NASA data where the ice on Earth absorbs more heat energy from the Sun than the reversed radiation into space, Dr.. Chalko stated, “This heat imbalance has created heat in the bowels of the earth can not come out so that the bowels of the earth is too hot. Increased activity of seismic movement, tectonics, and volcanism is a result that is not overlooked from the heat trapped due to the imbalance. “Dr. Chalko was urging the international scientific community to share this info with the public and said, “The consequences of our inaction would be disastrous. No time for movement setenga-half. “

Justifying the U.S. Agency for weather patterns that Esktrim Due to Climate Change

According to a report from the Climate Change Science Program prepared by many U.S. government agencies, global warming will cause the weather conditions become more severe, with droughts and floods are increasing both in severity and duration. The report also predicts the frequency of occurrence of this keesktriman become increasingly rapid, and gave warning that preventive measures must take into account the trend of climate change in order to effectively protect the future. » Read more: Climate Changes Due to Natural Disasters
