Global Warming is Real and We Can Do Something About It

Bret Dudl is Real  By Cheryl Forbes.

It is time that we care about Mother Earth. Anything that happens to her, happens to all of us. Nobody is spared. This might be grim but it is the truth. One of the greatest worries of Mother Earth is global warming. Kids are taught about Global Warming in school. It can also be seen at children television shows. Integrated with the show’s theme. Even parks and museums show the devastating effects of global warming, informing not only the kids but the adults too.

Global warming is a large responsibility for one man to carry alone. But if all of us would care enough to change our lifestyles, then it would make a difference. Change it in such a way that our lifestyle will no longer contribute to the rising temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere. We can make it happen. We can make a difference especially if we do it together.

A few of the effects of global warming are the increase in sea levels because of the melting ice over at the Antarctica region, erratic changes in the weather, floods, typhoons, hurricanes, forest fires, etc.

We need to be shaken awake from the deep slumber that we are in because even if we have been informed of the effects and causes of global warming. It would seem that we do not care enough to change our ways. Simple change in our lifestyle is all that would take to gradually decrease global warming. The past is behind us and we can no longer do something about it. The future we can still change. So let us do our part and be responsible not only to ourselves but to others too.

Global Warming, I’m Causing It?

Bret Dudl Causes By Muhammad Haidir.

Humans and Global warming

Most of us have heard about global warming and how it is slowly chewing away into the life of our beloved mother earth, about how it has caused several noticeable changes in the weather patterns due to climate change resulting from the emission of green house gases. It has raised some environmental issues as well, both directly and indirectly from the pollution of these green house gases, be it from the rising sea levels due to the increased in the earth’s surface temperature or the susceptibility of the our health factor due to the irregular heat and cold exposure.

Doing our part, is it enough?

Some of us are doing our part to help the environment through various means from recycling our recyclable products, changing our wasteful habits to installing solar panels and harnessing wind power as an alternative source of energy for our house. Some big corporation and major industries are doing their part as well by promoting and sponsoring awareness campaigns, making sure their waste discharge, by products and their gas emission abide and comply by the health regulatory boards. These discharges go through several processes to be classified as environmentally friendly before being discharge and released into the environment. Some of them have also implemented various tactics, methods and technology to reduce their energy and resources usage. From installing water saving devices to researching new technologies to reduce carbon emission, all these in an effort to reduce our carbon emission the release of more greenhouse gases in our atmosphere.

Renewable energies

Self sustaining and renewable energy sources holds great promises for a greener and cleaner future. Harnessing nature’s forces for our benefits such building dams, wind driven turbines and thermal generator to utilize geysers are just few of the examples. The latest technology introduce into the scene is the ability to be able to harness the energies of waves to generate electricity. Man kind are so desperately seeking alternatives for sources of renewable energy as each passing day we are pushing the supply limits of our natural gas and fossil fuels to the brink of extinction. The supply and demand balance will soon tip greatly as our supplies of energy continue to deplete and individual countries continues to increase their energy consumption.

Taking Turkey as a case study, Kaygusuz (2007) reported that the country have shown energy increased in energy consumption at an average of 4.3% annually since 1990. In comparison to its increased energy usage, its carbon dioxide emission has also whooped up to an alarming figure of 193 million tons in the year 2003. Multiply the figure with all the developed and developing countries and then we fast tracked it 10 years down the road. It is no longer a surprise that we our fossil fuels supplies will be facing depletion sooner then predicted by the experts.

We are to blame?

Are ‘we’ humans really to blame for the rise in the global temperature and the current condition of mother earth. We would question ourselves as we observe for the past few years as headlines in the news showcase stories of cities and countries being hit by early frost, late frost, sudden blitz, ice storms and hail storms. Notice are sometimes displayed and to alert people to prepare and brace themselves with the coming of snow storms, cyclones and many more of such similar examples. This can be used as environmental indicators and evidence as to how distorted our weather patterns have gone. At present carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are the main Green house gases deemed to be the culprits behind global warming.

However there are several ideologies out there calcimining that this is part of a natural cycle. They explain that as we see the trend in the rise of the global temperature for the past few centuries and how they have declined in recent times. Maybe that explains the unexpected surges in late and early frost.

Global Warming – Myth Or Reality?

Myth or Bret Dudl Reality  By Niraj Chandra.

Many prominent scientists and engineers claim there is no such thing as man-made global warming. One engineer, living in Canada, goes so far as to say human responsibility for global warming is a “stunning whitewash of reality”. On the other hand, environmentalists like Al Gore and Dr David Suzuki claim the very opposite.

Faced with these conflicting views, I did a little research of my own. I found that belief in man-made global warming is much like belief in god – there is lots of evidence but no absolute proof, and we will not know for sure until we are dead.

The skeptics claim that the human contribution to environmental pollution is negligible; nature generates far more greenhouse gases than human activity. They question the science behind climate change because different computer simulation models produce different results. They point out that ice ages have occurred in the past even when there was no industrial activity.

The supporters of man-made global warming, on the other hand, point out that the recent increase in levels of carbon dioxide is far greater in the last couple of hundred years than at any time before, and there has been a dramatic increase in global temperatures during this time. This cannot be just a coincidence.

The supporters also point out that climate change models can reproduce the observed temperature trends with reasonable accuracy only when the effects of greenhouse gases are included in the computations. Different climate change models do produce different results, but this is generally true of all computer simulations. The supporters also point out that there is almost unanimous consensus amongst climatologists about man-made global warming.

I found that belief in global warming varies from region to region. Most of the world believes in it, but many North America “think tanks” totally deny man-made global warning. There are also “think tanks” that state that even if global warming exists, the most cost effective approach is to do nothing about it right now and simply adapt, as future technologies will be more cost efficient. This is called the adaptive model of global warming. Further investigation reveals that many of these “think tanks” are funded by big businesses including oil companies that have a vested interest in preserving the status quo.

To me the “do-nothing” approach appears to be the most inappropriate. Ignoring problems does not, in general, solve them, and delayed action is inevitably much more expensive than tackling issues early on. The “do-nothing” viewpoint helps only large corporations to delay the inevitable a little longer. This is similar to the disinformation campaign used by tobacco companies a few decades ago.

Does the greenhouse effect really exist? To find out, I observed the outside temperature conditions during a recent flight to New Delhi, India. This city is known for its high air pollution levels.

As the airplane lost altitude during its descent, the outside air temperature increased from minus 60 deg.C at cruising altitude, to plus 32 deg.C at a height of about 3000 feet above the airport. Then, surprisingly, the temperature started dropping again, until we touched down at the airport with an outside temperature of 29 deg.C.

Hence, the temperature was highest about 3000 feet above ground level, creating a temperature inversion layer. This was, indeed, the greenhouse effect occurring in a localized area, due to air pollution. No matter what the deniers may say, to me this is clear and simple proof that pollutants generated by human activity do indeed cause warming.

Learning More About Global Warming

Learning with Bret Dudl By Raechelle Greene.

It has already been established by scientists that our world is suffering from Global Warming due to global pollution. A lot of people are aware about this Global Warming, but how many really understand how it happens and what simple solutions can we do to preserve the environment?

Global Warming happens mainly due to air pollution, and the most dangerous and dominant air polluter is said to be carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is emitted from different sources, and accumulates in the atmosphere. This accumulated carbon dioxide damages the ozone layer, making certain gases pass through it and cause the earth to warm up more than it should be.

Carbon dioxide comes from a lot of sources, some of which we as individuals are directly responsible for. Sprays that we use at home, our cars, fireplaces, almost everything that we do every day contribute to the accumulation of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases.

Presently, Mother Nature has been reminding us that we are not being grateful for our environment and she has been sending out dangerous signals that we have to be better citizens of the world to be worthy of the planet we’re living in. Heat waves, massive melting of ice in the Arctic, the ocean warming up, sudden forest fires, and natural disasters have been suddenly occurring over the years.

There are a lot of greener ways to live, information being provided by a lot of sources, we just have to learn to follow them, one day at a time. We can do it. It is possible for us to preserve our environment, we just have to be dedicated.
