This is a big problem that we are all suffering in recent times. Many do not really know what this is all about, but that is nothing more than the normal temperature rise on Earth due to several factors, among which we find the use of fossil fuels and other processes leading to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. But all that trouble comes from nature, but also involving the human activity that contributes greatly to the change in temperature which produces all this climate change.
Perhapssay, what is strange about all this if the climate has always changed? Sure, that's true, but the changes that recently had an abnormal accelerated to such an extent that it is affecting life on this planet. When you wanted to find the cause of this acceleration, the scientists agreed that this could be a direct relationship between global warming and greenhouse gases, caused mainly by industrialized societies.
really is a matter of concern because much of the scientific society has been commissioned to study and control it, because they say it endangers the future of all humanity.
Many scientists agree that all this increase in gases in Earth's atmosphere is causing changes in climate. They also tell us that everything was growing from the Industrial Revolution, where the action performed by man over nature is intensified.
global warming, as we have noticed, is related to the greenhouse effect. But that does not indicate that these two are the same. The second allows that there is life on Earth. This is due to a number of gases found in the atmosphere thus causing some heat from the Sun than our planet shows that 'caught' while the global average temperature (+15 ° C), which is favorable to life.
Thus, as for millions of years, this natural phenomenon on Earth remained a relatively stable temperature and allowed life to develop further.
Now, the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are rising rapidly, as a result of the world's people (ie us) burn greater amounts of fossil fuels, in turn destroying forests, grasslands, etc., because that would somehow favor, since they are who absorb carbon dioxide maintained at equilibrium temperature. But no, we do just the opposite. Instead of promoting all that, we are becoming darker and damaging.
response, the international scientific community has sent a warning that if the global development, population growth and consumption energy based on fossil fuels, are increasing the pace now, by 2050, carbon dioxide concentrations will have been played at double what it was before the revolution n Industrial. We must be vigilant and deal with all this, it could cause serious consequences for planetary life.
The international community is reacting and therefore created the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1988. This panel consists of experts from around the world and the end of its creation is to inform world leaders of scientific, technical and economic information on climate change, its impact and possible solutions. Apart
also find the Kyoto Protocol, which may already have heard but not quite know what it is. As this is a pact reached by the various governments in the United Nations Conference held in Paris, located in Japan, in 1997. Its aim was to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by developed countries approximately 5.2%. Now, it's a total of 141 countries that have ratified the pact. This is the first legally binding global agreement to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.
worth mentioning the repeated refusal of the United States, the world's largest polluter, to sign the Kyoto treaty on the grounds that it affects their economíay omitted to include some countries like China, with a growing industrializacióny greenhouse gas emissions.
The last ten years have been the warmest since records are kept and as stated previously, scientists announced that the future will be much hotter still.
While we know that without the greenhouse gases our planet congelaríay nothing could live in it, we add the pollutants produced by humans which leads to a greater accumulation of gases in the atmosphere.
People living in developed countries, contribute greater than those living in other nations in the developing and least developed even if they are sub.
the situation goes on like this, next year the global temperature will rise by one degree Celsius, which may seem insignificant when in fact it is not.
As the Earth warms, the ice caps are melting. And not just in those places, because here in our nation has been able to appreciate the Huascaran has also been thawed. Point beyond all that, when the sun's heat reaches the poles, the heat is reflected back into space, this tells me, that melting ice caps, the amount of heat will reflect less and causing the planet to get warmer. Global warming will cause ocean water to evaporate more. And that water vapor acts as a greenhouse gas. That is, with everything mentioned so far will be further warming.
The United Nations Panel (IPCC) provided a report in 1990 where he declares that to get to be a doubling of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) temperature and no amount , at 1 ° C, but 2.5 ° C.
Can you imagine what would happen if this happens? Definitely induced effects would be very serious. For example, while the ice caps are melting, sea level rise, in turn lead to flood some areas that in themselves are low, and may cause the disappearance of nations in the Paci traffic and other Asia. Now on the other hand, while the atmospheric energy balance is changing, changes in world climate will be even more drastic causing larger variations in temperature, which would lead to a change of seasons.
So you are looking for a way to balance the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at a level that prevents the climate system interventions, not only with respect to nature, but also No man. Well, it is in us that we become aware of it, otherwise what will become of us?
nations is needed to measure their greenhouse gases, and begin to take action or change their transport policies, for example, to contribute to the reduction of the problem at hand. While some powers like the United States, its economy depends on industry or the like, as you see the way that the emission of these gases is less, because that is the country that unfortunately pollutes greater extent the world and until now continues to do so. Although Americans represent only 4% of world population, produce 25% of the pollution emission of greenhouse gases, surpassing the level of emissions from other nations. In itself, the United States emits more CO 2 that China, India and Japan combined (which are also world powers). It is clear, then the U.S. should take the lead in this change to give a solution to this problem. Resorting to policies that serve and help them to realize their inhabitants.
We as citizens can also contribute to this change in various ways: by reducing the use of motor vehicles, using public transportation and bicycles, using appliances that are more efficient energy consumption and so on. Do not forget to preserve genetic diversity, species and ecosystems that also has an important role in this.
global warming really is an issue we should worry seriously, it is a very complex phenomenon and the impacts produced on a large scale are difficult to predict with any certainty. Perhaps a good thing is that every year scientists have more on the way in which this phenomenon is affecting the planet and many agree that certain consequences would occur by itself an if we continue like that. Among them: further melting glaciers, droughts which will cause more water shortages, rising sea levels cause flooding, forests, farms and cities will face new pests and therefore, there will be more diseases will be a condition of habitats, among others.
But still we are or not in time to reverse the effects of global warming?
Well. We know the planet from its beginnings never left mutate, since the times of the ice ages to warmer stages. However, all these changes have always been very slow to no living being had been able to perceive. All this until he Industrial Revolution as we know. From that event onwards know what happened. The industry grew rapidly in surprise and one time we took months to cross the Atlantic and then we did it in four or five hours. One day the war was with guns, and the next it was with atomic bombs. For those without access to safe drinking water, which no access to basic health services, for which poisoned the water of the poor to produce luxury goods for the rich, because for them it is not time.
last Now a study of the NGO which reported that climate change related disasters, ranging from droughts to floods, would cause that in 2010 there in the world around 50 million environmentally displaced. For them, we are not on time.
But man, being a thinking, has managed to cover every area of the planet, has managed to survive and adapt to climate changes over the years, and is likely to survive even a change. What we must realize is that the decisions we make now will determine the amount of people that survive and weather conditions in which they must exist.
not think individually, do not say now that we enjoy our lives as we can. Learn to think as they must, to become aware. Sacrifice part of our welfare for those generations to come in our place. Or do we want to the 'welcome' to a place that can affect your life? It is true that we young people are not yet even half the way we have to go, but we are able to analyze things and acquire a critical, we have experienced something of our life, now let's think future. If we give you the best as we begin to act, not wait until last minute that all this is complicated even further to just start taking action.
If we act, then act now.
