The sun energy is emitted as heat radiations. Some of these are absorbed and retained by the earth's surface. Then again some of the absorbed heat is reradiated by the earth into the atmosphere. There is an energy balance between the heat energy reaching the earth and the heat energy i.e. radiated into the space. This energy balance determined the earth's surface temperature. Excess accumulation of some gases like carbon dioxide, methane, chlorofluoro carbons(CFS). Ozone and water vapour are responsible for increasing heat on the earth. These gases are known as green house gases. These gases t...

Climate change is associated with the intensity and frequency of precipitation, thunderstorms, sandstorms, and extreme weather events, such as heat waves, droughts, blizzards, floods, and hurricanes.

Global warming is occurring at record levels and is due to increasing atmospheric greenhouse gases generated by human activities, according to several new government scientific reports issued in recent weeks. The rapidity of greenhouse gas impacts will make projections and mitigation efforts increasingly difficult and will result in a drastic transformation of Earth’s environment, the reports say. In a related development, researchers are reporting that airborne black carbon particles—which are a component of soot—hold twice the warming potential as previously thought. Rising seas, heat waves,...

This almost sounds like a passage from the Old Testament, but the words appear in the third report on global warming prepared by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

After decades of global warming many are still in the dark as what needs to be done to overcome this world threat that affects single citizen of the planet earth. The word ‘sustainability’ has been used very loosely, some not knowing the exact meaning of it only with intentions to gain research grant for the academics, profit making by keeping by the general business environment, thus leading to dumping the market with green-washing products. Those who seriously know the true meaning are not many and many times frustrated with the doings of the many which do not. This presentation hopefully pr...

Monday 4 February 2019 was yet another World Cancer Day, where efforts to find and eradicate cancer were celebrated without admitting to ourselves that cancer isn’t a single disease, but rather a group of diseases all caused by the authors' bodies responding to the toxic environment.

THE PHRASE ‘global warming’ has become familiar to many people as one of the most important issues of our day. Many opinions have been expressed concerning it, from the doom-laden to the dismissive. This book aims to state the current scientific position on global warming clearly, so that we can make informed decisions on the facts. Is the climate changing? In the year 2060 my grandchildren will be approaching 70 years old; what will their world be like? Indeed, what will it be like during the 70 years or so of their normal lifespan? Many new things have happened in the last 70 years that coul...

The Amazon rainforest has been the target of several attacks, such as the massive increase in deforestation and fire outbreaks. The Amazon biome is not only composed of forest ecosystems, but also of an important carbon stock system called Peatland, which contains ca. 1 to 8 billion tons of carbon in its plants and soil. If burned, this peculiar ecosystem is likely to release tons of greenhouse gases, which may aggravate global warming. Therefore, our objective is to alert and anticipate problems associated with deforestation and fires in Peatland that, if not contained, may difficult global w...

How do you create a Global Warming panic when the weather isn't cooperating? Here are a few tricks of the trade that the scammers are using to explain away the recent cooling trend, as revealed by the hacked e-mails of the world's leading advocates of man-made Global Warming.

Global warming occurs when incoming ultra violet solar radiation from the sun strikes the earth and is absorbed by the atmosphere, earth’s surface and water bodies. Much of it is then reflected back into the atmosphere as infrared radiation, keeping the earth habitable. For earth’s temperatures to remain stable these two should be in equilibrium. However, they are not, due to the emission of green-house gases by anthropogenic activities, that result in the green-house effect (because a similar process occurs in a green-house, high energy UV radiation penetrates the glass walls of a green-house...

We discuss several aspects of the phenomenon called Global Warming and refrain from any con- clusions. We leave the reader to draw his conclusions about the series of observations presented here. The phenomenon called Global Warming or in the new name Climate Change, refers to the be- havior of the ’Temperature of the Earth’ as a function of time. The ’temperature of the Earth’ is a complicated term as it is measured in different locations and one has to define at what location we discuss the temperature and how we average the temperature over the complicated surface of the Earth so as to obt...

The ongoing debate about global warming prompted me to have a look at the physics myself, and see if I could make some sense of it. I have to say that I came to this rather as a sceptic because I do not believe that it is feasible to model the climate of the planet with any degree of confidence. The number of relevant variables is just too great. It is well-known that the weather is a chaotic phenomenon, and a look at the temperature variations indicates that the yearly trend is equally random. On the other hand, NASA’s chart of the world average temperatures does show an undeniably upward tre...

The doomsday film thriller The Day After Tomorrow is based on global warming theory, whereby the infusion of freshwater into the north Atlantic from the melting of Greenland's glaciers stops the circulation of water via the Gulf Stream.

There is no doubt that the single most important event of the last 12 months for bringing together the science and politics of global climate change was the Third Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC). Alternatively reported as the World Climate Summit or the Kyoto Climate Conference, this 10-day negotiating meeting was held between 1 and 10 December 1997 in the Japanese city of Kyoto. The conference commenced the week after it had been announced that 1997 was going to be the warmest year yet recorded for global-mean surface air temperature, providin...

The role of General Circulation Models (GCMs) has become predominantly important as the practical interest in regional impacts from anthropogenic greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) grows. This first report documents the quality of GCMs as a tool for describing and predicting ‘global warming’ and the related geographical pattern of climate change from the CO2 added to Earth’s atmosphere.

as popular perception is concerned, considerable efforts continue to be made both by governments and by science into, respectively, negotiating responses to, and improving predictions of, future climate change. By the time this review is published it is likely that the fiftieth national ratification of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will have been lodged (this is out of the original 160 signatory nations). This means that the first Conference of the Parties to the convention will be held during the first half of 1995. This process of national ratification is being accom...

The global-mean surface air temperature record has been broken four times during the 1990s (1990, 1995, 1997 and 1998) ensuring that the present decade has been the warmest since 1860, when the instrumental series of global-mean surface air temperature commences. Estimates of Northern Hemispheric temperature over the last 1000 years (Jones et al., 1998; Mann et al., 1998) also suggest that the 1990s have been the warmest decade this millennium for the Northern Hemisphere. Since global temperature in 1999 is unlikely to be as warm as in 1998 (owing to a reversion of the Pacific from an El Niño ...

The forerunner to Progress in Physical Geography was Progress in Geography and was first published in 1969. In 1976, an article on contemporary problems in research on air pollution made the first reference in this journal to ’global warming’, drawing attention to the predominance of fossil fuel burning as primary cause and rising sea levels as primary impact (Wall, 1976). Three years later in the same journal Bach (1979) provided an excellent account of the understanding of the problem at the end of the 1970s, and more recently Jones and Henderson-Sellers (1990) provided a selective history o...

• The consequences of climate change are serious, more so for developing countries than for developed ones. Indeed for some time to come climate change may well have benefits in the more temperate zones, where most of the wealthier countries lie. • The causes of climate change are to be found in the increased emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Reductions in these gases will also reduce likely climatic impacts but mitigation will be expensive and the likely benefits may be small compared to the costs, when the latter are measured using conventional discount rates of 4-5 percent in real terms...

Recent years have seen rising Earth's temperatures and a shrinking Antarctic land area. Studying factors affecting global warming and finding solutions to slow it is crucial. Using the Pettitt mutation point detection method, we examined March temperatures over the past decade and identified a significant change in March 2015. Predictive models (ARIMA and LSTM) forecast similar future temperatures, with the LSTM model showing slightly higher accuracy. Gray correlation and multiple linear regression analyses identified CO2 as the primary factor influencing global temperatures. Reducing CO2 emis...

With the recent dramatic loss of ice in the Arctic, the world has focused on whether polar bears are safe from climate change.

‘Global warming’ is a phrase that refers to the effect on the climate of human activities, in particular the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) and large-scale deforestation, which cause emissions to the atmosphere of large amounts of ‘greenhouse gases’, of which the most important is carbon dioxide. Such gases absorb infrared radiation emitted by the Earth's surface and act as blankets over the surface keeping it warmer than it would otherwise be. Associated with this warming are changes of climate. The basic science of the ‘greenhouse effect’ that leads to the warming is well unders...

Much scientific consensus has developed that global warming is a major threat to the well-being of our planet and ourselves. This danger includes mental health. Violence, trauma and anxiety are all projected to increase. Psychology has also contributed to the genesis and delayed responsiveness to global warming, given the use of denial, narcissism, and fear of change on the part of politicians and citizens. Given the importance of psychiatry for this social problem, psychiatrists should be at the forefront of ‘going green’ in terms of advocacy, modelling and solutions. We are not yet, but our ...

It’s time to dust off the crayons and start planning for the next generation.

Jonathan A Patz discusses the abrupt and long term health impacts of global warming

В данной статье говорится о том, что прогресс человечества привел к пренебрежению глобального потепления, которое было вызвано увеличением выбросов CO2. Это разрушает атмосферу, вызывая повышение температуры и суровые погодные условия, влияющие на производство воды и продуктов питания. Ископаемое топливо, вырубка лесов, транспорт и животноводство способствуют выбросам парниковых газов. Глобальное потепление вызывает наводнения, голод, вырубку лесов, лесные пожары и засуху, создавая серьезную угрозу человечеству. This article says that the progress of mankind has led to the neglect of global w...

A new report warning of sudden, catastrophic effects from global warming should provide an impetus for change, a leading researcher says.

Voor sommige mensen is het nog steeds niet aannemelijk dat we te maken hebben met de effecten van ‘Global Warming’, de opwarming van de aarde door voornamelijk de broeikasgassen die vrijkomen bij de verbranding van fossiele brandstoffen. In de media worden voor- en tegenstanders aan het woord gelaten, hierdoor ontstaat een beeld dat er nog veel discussie over dit onderwerp mogelijk is. Bekendst is natuurlijk de film van Al Gore, An Inconvenient truth, maar als antwoord daarop heeft het Engelse Channel 4 de documentaire The Great Global Warming Swindle (TGGWS), ook een wereld tournee door de me...

Pada abad 18 telah dimulai revolusi industri antara lain dengan dibuatnya pabrik-pabrik, pembangkit listrik, kendaraan transportasi dan pertanian. Dua ratus tahun kemudian, negara-negara industri baru bermunculan baik di Eropa, Amerika bahkan di Asia. Industri memang membuat wajah dunia tampak semakin maju, misalnya kendaraan bermotor sebagai salah satu produk industri. Namun di sisi lain berdampak negatif terhadap lingkungan hidup manusia. Mesin-mesin kendaraan itu menggunakan bahan bakar dari bumi. Hasil pembakaran bahan bakar tersebut menghasilkan unsur CO dan CO2 yang menumpuk di udara dan...

In their respective chapters Peter Wehling and Jobst Conrad argue that up to the present the debate on sustainability has neither triggered a fundamental reorientation in the modernityand modernisation-oriented discourse of contemporary sociology, nor offered any solutions for the social, economic and ecological problems of late modern societies. Fritz Reusswig tries to give meaning to the idea of sustainability by sketching 16 ‘syndromes’ of (unsustainable) global change. Wolfgang Sachs highlights the conflict between the social and ecological dimensions within the concept of sustainability, ...

Examines the major theories within international relations, and how these can help us understand the emergence of global warming as a political issue.

Greenhouse gases have many sources, some related to human activities and some not. The source of greenhouse gases that concern scientists the most is fossil fuel burning. Oil, coal, and natural gas contain carbon that was once in the atmosphere, but has been stored in the lithoshpere for millions of years (hence the term "fossil"). When we burn these fuels, we re-introduce the carbon into the atmosphere, some of it in the form of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. (Cement production and other industrial activities are also key sources of carbon dioxide and ozone; rice agriculture and cattle rai...

The concept of an anthropogenic global warming (AGW) driven by the increase in atmospheric CO2 is compared to the concept of a natural global warming (NGW) driven by solar variability. The application of the AGW concept only rests on models, whilst the NGW concept rests on multiple observational and evidence-based facts. Even more so, the long-term solar variability predicts a new Grand Solar Minimum with severe climatic conditions (type Little Ice Age) to occur in 2030-2050. This violates all talk about an increasing, even accelerating, global warming. Similarly, there is no true treat of a f...

The recent warming of Earth's surface is well documented in meteorological records. According to the World Meteorological Organization, the Earth's average surface air temperature (SAT) rose about 0.6°C in the twentieth century [Jones and Moberg,2003]. Any global scale variation in SAT is accompanied by variation of the thermal state of all major climate system components including the continental landmasses. Based on worldwide meteorological and borehole temperature records, this study suggests that the twentieth century global warming has deposited a large amount of thermal energy into th...

Actuaries are becoming more aware of the combined impact of climate change and limitations of resources—two separate and very significant issues—putting at risk the sustainability of the current socio-economic systems that support our way of life. Although actuaries do not claim professional expertise in environmental issues, they can be guided by the growing body of knowledge publicly available from reliable scientific sources. Being particularly qualified to deal with modelling financial consequences of risks and uncertainties, the actuarial profession has a duty to provide training and educ...

ABSTRACT

Nowadays there is a contentious debate about the causes of the observed inc rease in the global temperature as well as the predictions about its future evolution. Some researches have found evidence of a determinist increasing trend using well-known temperature databases. In this work some of the techniques used to study the global warming debate are revised using sea level time series. The implicit idea is that one of the direct consequences of the global warming is the rise of the global sea level, thus if the temperatures are systematically increasing so should the sea level. The main concl...

INTRODUCTION Among the many institutional arrangements and policy measures proposed to control the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases and effectively abate the processes of global warming, the institution of international markets for tradable emission permits is probably the one that has most attracted the attention of the economist, as typically argued by Tietenberg (1985, 1992), Bertram (1992), and Barrett et al.(1992), Barrett and Taylor (1995) and others. Bertram, Stephens, and Wallace (1989) argued that a worldwide system of tradable emission permits could be an effecti...

This report discusses how the state of Maine contributes to national global warming in the United States. It estimates that transportation is responsible for a little less than one third of the state's contribution to global warming, and work trips are a hefty portion of that contribution. The report analyzes which part of the state the commuters come from, discusses the types of residential development in the state, and provides suggestions for decreasing transportation related global warming. These suggestions include: decreasing single driver commutes; expanding the public transit network; ...

Most books on global warming policy start with a chapter on the science. Because that's been done so many times before, I will do something different. I start with a brief history of the science. Scientifically, much of what was needed to start worrying about global warming was known in the late 1950s. Yet no society really became concerned until much later in the 1980s. The shift reflects a change in mindset about whether human activities could have adverse global consequences. Although this book is about global warming, serious efforts to solve that problem really began with a different atmo...

Recent data adds to the weight of the evidence for rapid global-scale warming, the dominance of human causes, and the expected continuation of increasing temperatures, including more record-setting extremes, a draft report says.

Journalistic reporting of global warming and of avian influenza rose and fell nearly simultaneously in newspapers of the United States, Canada, Britain, Ireland, and Australia. Some international news peaks are reasonably interpreted as American-generated “media events” of ambiguous connection to worsening real-world threats. Major international concern about avian flu, beginning in October 2005, resulted from a flurry of activity in Washington, D.C. to rapidly increase federal preparedness for a possible pandemic. This, in turn, was a face-saving action by the Bush administration after its di...

Humanity is risking the health of the natural environment through a myriad of interventions, including the atmospheric emission of trace gases such as carbon dioxide, the use of ozone-depleting chemicals, the engineering of massive land-use changes, and the destruction of the habitats of many species. It is imperative that we learn to protect our common geophysical and biological resources. Although scientists have studied greenhouse warming for decades, it is only recently that society has begun to consider the economic, political, and institutional aspects of environmental intervention. To d...

This article summarizes recent information about global warming as well as the history of greenhouse gas emissions which have lead to more and more evidence of global warming. The primary source detailed is the second major study report on global warming by the Intergovernmental Panel on climate change. Along with comments about the environmental effects of global warming such as coastline submersion, the economic, social and political aspects of alleviating greenhouse emissions and the threat of global warming are discussed.
