Facts on Global Warming

1. 2005 was the HOTTEST year ever on record. Average world temperatures have climbed over 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit since 1900.

2. Arctic ice is rapidly disappearing and may have its first completely ice free summer by 2040.

3. Humans are pouring “CO2? (carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere faster than plants and oceans can absorb it.

4. Glaciers are melting fast, plants and animals are being forced from their habitat.

5. The number of severe storms and droughts is increasing and the number of category 4

and 5 hurricans has almost doubled in the last 30 years.

6. 30 years ago the global warming scientist James Lovelock worked out that the Earth possessed a planetary scale control system which kept the enviroment fit for life. He called it “GAIA” and the theory has become widely accepted. The ugly truth is that climate change is already insoluble and life on earth will never be the same again. Other Renowned climate scientists still have some hope.. but they say we have less than 10years before the damage is irreversible.

7. Global warming caused principally by the large scale emissions of industrial gases such as carbon dioxide or “CO2? is almost certainly the greatest threat mankind has ever faced, because it puts a question mark over the very habitability of the earth.

8. The Bush administration has been accused of editing official scientific studies about global warming and asking NASA to refrain from speaking out on the phenomen.

9. Deaths from global warming will double in just 25 years to over 350 000 people a year.

10 More than a million species worldwide could be driven to extinction by 2050.

This is the ugly truth.. However some strongly asserts that global warming is a Hoax. What do you think?

Global warming is the continuous increase of the earth’s near-surface air and oceans average temperatures. Mostly this is because of greenhouse gases and natural phenomena such as solar variation and volcanoes.

 Longtime effects of global warming will be; arctic shrinkage; arctic methane release; shrinkage of the Amazon rainforest; extreme weather events; changes in agricultural yields; modifications of trade routes; glacier retreat; species extinctions and changes in the ranges of disease vectors.

 One of the short-term effects is the decline of our financial budget, because of the increase in municipal levies and services.

 Colder and warmer temperatures causes us to use more electricity and that in turn causes the power plants to increase there production and so uses more biomass which in turn depletes our natural resources and ad to global warming. It is a vicious circle.

 Most municipality’s and suppliers of energy try their utmost in combating global warming, but we should not leave it to then alone. We all should give our parting conserving energy and in turn save on our expenses.

 By recycling our waste, most of our waste can be recycled to be used again; by harnessing our biggest resource, the sun, and by harnessing natures voice, the wind.

 Although wind generated energy is a great idea in a remote area, it takes a lot of windmills to generate enough energy to electrify a town. And our 20′Th century space is already a problem. So if you do not stay on a farm, your best bet is solar power.

 Many of the suppliers of energy are already busy with efforts to reward people who help by conserving energy.

 One can use solar powered geezers or use solar panels to generate enough electricity for ones own home.

 If all the communities in the world jumps in and conserve energy we might just be able to prolong or even halt global warming on our home, earth.
