Global Warming – Information and Tips regarding Global Warming

Definition of Global Warming:

Global Warming is the increase in the average measured temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century, and its projected continuation.

Average measured temperature is the instrumental temperature record shows the fluctuations of the temperature of the atmosphere and the oceans as measured by temperature sensors. Currently, the longest-running temperature record is the Central England temperature data series that starts in 1659. The longest-running quasi-global record starts in 1850.

IPCC:

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes “most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-twentieth century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations via an enhanced greenhouse effect.

These basic conclusions have been endorsed by at least 30 scientific societies and academies of science, including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries. While individual scientists have voiced disagreement with these findings, the overwhelming majority of scientists working on climate change agree with the IPCC’s main conclusions.

Effects of Global Warming:

According to projections made by the IPCC, the average global surface temperature will rise a further 6 degrees Celsius during this century. Although most of the studies and predictions are made up to a certain century, warmer temperatures and the rise of the sea level are expected to continue for more than a 1000 years even if greenhouse gas levels are brought down.”

Some of the effects of Global Warming include:

1.      Increase global temperature and that causes sea levels to rise.

2.      Increase in the intensity of extreme weather events decreasing tropical areas and increasing the amount of deserted places.

3.      Agricultural cycles changes.

4.      Mass species extinctions.

5.      Increase of disease spreading.

Some of the uncertainties are the amount of warming that will take place in the future and how it will differ from region to region around the world.

Governments are trying to make a difference and most of the national governments have signed the Kyoto Protocol. The Kyoto Protocol is a protocol to the International Framework Convention on Climate Change and it is aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

So as you can see, Global Warming is happening and is happening now. It seems that the future of our children looks dull, but we as parents, leaders and decision makers can still make a difference. We need to change our thinking and our daily habits. This is not an easy thing to do, but we can and must do it. There is lots of information and tips that we can use in our daily life to live a greener live. There are even products we can buy to implement in our lives that can help saving energy and be more environment friendly.
