Climate Change and Ecological Disaster

January 29th, 2012

Global climate change caused by rising concentrations of CO2 in Earth’s atmosphere as the greenhouse effect (greenhouse), industrial activities, the utilization of petroleum and coal resources, and forest fires as the largest contributor of CO2 emissions in the world that lead to changes in environmental and land use (landuse), because of the imbalance between the energy received by the energy released into the air and there is a change order in the atmosphere so that it can affect the cycle becomes unbalanced in nature, resulting in a very significant temperature changes in the atmosphere. Global warming impact on climate change in the world to become unstable, if global warming has continued to increase every year can cause a huge impact on the acceleration of the threat of tropical cyclones such as hurricanes, tidal and flood, extreme temperature rise, tsunami, drought and El Nino may pose a risk of disaster in ecological systems.

Ecological disaster is a natural phenomenon that occurs due to a change in order to experience disturbances on the ecology of several factors that interplay between human beings, living beings and natural conditions. Nature as a place to live and everything that provide a balance of environmental, ecological disasters often occur due to accumulation of the ecological crisis caused by the injustice and the failure of management that resulted in the collapse of the natural order of human life, this condition is also accelerated by the impact made ​​by human activities in managing the environment so affects of global warming on the earth that led to the occurrence of disasters everywhere, the main pengaruhuh of global warming on the occurrence of disasters is the change in air temperature increases resulting in an uneven seasonal changes and triggers the acceleration cycle of geology and meteorology. » Read more: Climate Change and Ecological Disaster

Ecological Disasters as a Global Climate Change Impacts

Global warming became a major issue in the world, is a challenge that must be faced by the world in the 21st century, this affects the Earth’s temperature rises, resulting in loss of balance in the cycle of the earth, rise in surface temperature and seasonal changes that can not be predicted. Climate change impact on the occurrence of natural disasters everywhere ranging from hurricanes, tropical cyclone, floods, endemic, drought, El Nino, famine, tsunamis and other disasters resulting in loss of ecosystem functions that impact on the occurrence of ecological disasters. Disasters are the result of the threat factors (hazard) in the form of a natural phenomenon caused by global warming and the existence of vulnerabilities (vulnerabilities) in a community in accepting the risk of disaster, it is necessary to do the efforts of disaster risk reduction (disaster risk reduction) which is a disaster management activities to reduce the risk of catastrophic impacts of global climate change from before the disaster occurred (mitigation and kesiaapsiagaan), when a disaster occurs (emergency response) and after a disaster (recovery and strategic plan).

Global warming has occurred since the 20th century, starting from scratch revolosi industry in European countries, global warming has an impact on global climate change as a result of greenhouse gas emissions and the fulfillment of CO2 in the air that can lead to changes in temperature conditions and affect the conditions golobal cycle of meteorology and geology, which mengakibatakan natural disasters where the condition of the disaster has relationships with global warming and sea level rise due to the addition of the sea water due to melting polar ice caps caused each year, the occurrence of El Nino, floods due to weather factors that are not erratic and often also coincided with the catastrophic landslides, tropical storms, cyclones and storms. Disaster risk can inflict a loss keberfungsiaan society, victims, loss of material, physical damage and environmental damage. » Read more: Ecological Disasters as a Global Climate Change Impacts

Causes of Global Warming

January 7th, 2012

Greenhouse gases (CO, CO2, CFCs, O3, NOx) accused as the cause of global warming. However, I wish the earth had no greenhouse gas2 then this earth will have celesius temperature of 33 degrees below 0. gas2 greenhouse concentrations have increased in recent years. Some say because man, some say due to geological activity, some say because of the carbon cycle in sea obstructed. CO2 gas come out of nowhere, a clear increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases is causing the amount of solar energy reflected back to earth to be larger or in other words there is a relationship between elevated concentrations of atmospheric greenhouse gases with global warming. CO2 accounted for 50% of global warming, whereas CFCs gases, CH4, O3, and NOx each accounted for approximately 20%, 15%, 8% and 7% for global warming.

Federal environmental study group Climate Change Science Program on 2 May 2006 issued a statement that the human mempegaruhi global climate change. One result of global warming it is climate change. Apparently one man who was accused of causing increased CO2 content in the earth. According to proponents of this theory, the CO2 in the earth has increased dramatically as a result of human activity and human activity also causes inhibition of re-absorption of CO2 by plants. Humans play a role in promoting the CO2 in the atmosphere. Plants in this paper I reply to the forest konotasikan who is the main absorber of CO2 in the atmosphere that are directly related to human activity. Several other studies have claimed that turns humans (antrhopogenic) only donate 5% of CO2 production in the world. » Read more: Causes of Global Warming
