Warmer temperatures mean more energy in the climate system 1. Warmer oceans and air current mean more violent and frequent hurricanes 2. More frequent and harsher rainstorms may cause flooding B. Overall changes to weather patterns could be devas Continue Reading...
As sea level are on the rise, many millions will suffer more and more aggressive floods and entire coastal cities and industries will disappear unless significant investment is made in dam systems. Another socio-geographical effect is large fires du Continue Reading...
" The positive feedback mechanisms that researchers choose to focus on includes the following. Ice naturally reflects heat in the form of solar radiation back into space. When ice flows melt, less heat is reflected and consequently, more heat is abso Continue Reading...
"Global air temperatures have been rising at a steady trend rate of 0.5 degrees Centigrade per century since about 1750, as the world recovers from the little ice age." (Evans, Global Research, 2009 Global temperatures cooled off from 1940 through Continue Reading...
Climate Change -- Cause and Mitigation There are several ways to look at climate change because there are natural causes and there are also human-influenced causes for the global climate to change. This paper defines anthropogenic climate change and Continue Reading...
Dimming the Sun Global dimming is the idea that the amount of solar radiation that reaches the earth. The idea is that the by-products of fossils fuels, which are tiny particles suspend in the air, gather water moisture from the air. This moisture f Continue Reading...
