    would you like a long answer maybe you find a title in there

    what about -will we end up like Mars?

    will Arakis become a reality?

    my package answer on Climate change

    MANS EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT

    (this is limited to effects of people in the country,industrial effects on the environment and the internal combustion engine as well as the over all effects of cities ,is another story)

    DEFORESTATION

    expanding populations and expanding farming ,that has to keep pace with the expanding populations are very strong forces that encroach upon the rainforest's

    clearing them for farming and settlement areas .

    Rainforest's always are in third world countries and always in third world countries corruption and the need for money s highest

    the jungle gets smaller by the day

    more and more farmers move in .and burn the trees

    it is an impossible situation

    as long as there is poverty in these regions the destruction will continue

    ON THE GROUND

    go to the countries on the equator ,check what has happened in history

    and listen to what is going on in the many disaster areas on this planet today,(and there are more than ever each year )

    : i have seen lands that have been turned from jungle into desserts by people in a matter of a couple of years ,because of the slash and burn method used by settlers and expanding agriculture,and i have seen rivers dry up because of deforrestation in many places in Africa and Mexico ,

    there are natural cycles in the planets life

    but a lot is influenced by mans existance ,and this is increasing with overpopulation,putting strains on Natural resources and increasing contaminations as well as destructions of essential componants the ensure living conditions for all life forms

    in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification,and flash floods because of deforestation

    in recent times thousands of people have died because of exessive heat,usually old people.in India ,Mexico and France,

    deforestation causing desertification,the desert conditions causing very cold nights and scorching hot days

    in china, thousands of what used to be farmers are running for their lives from the dust storms that have burried their towns and turned their lands into dessert,the globe where they were got to hot for them .

    and instead of producing food they are now needing it from some where else,and they will drastically effect the world food prices when they start buying water in the form of grains ,at any cost destabalising governments, in some countries ,could be the result

    ,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year

    and all of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not getting less ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were no desserts.

    collectively this planet is drying up because of bad farming practices like,over grazing and fertilizers,

    as far as the food production is concerned, Global warming or some of its effects are serious,rising seas result in landloss

    each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss

    more landloss because of desertification every year,we have less areble land to produce food ,for an extra 70 million people ,

    and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,

    and there are less and less farmers to do it..

    who are overpumping deep carbon aquifiers

    who are plowing more and more unstable lands because they have lost so many million hectares to desertification ,

    because of bad farming practises ,such as using fertilizers and heavy machinary or over grazing

    RISING SEAS

    The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.

    this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matter.

    Global warming is in theory reversable,but it will mean global co operation between all countries ,and taking into account human nature and the world politics ,it is unlikely that this will happen,

    At least not untill we are all in the middle of planetary disastres and it becomes a battle for the survival of humanity every where.

    SOLUTIONS

    if you want to help the planet ,plant a tree every week ,if everyone on the planet did we we would be able to reverse the destructive processes

    reduce carbon emisions,and they are already working on that by alternative forms of energy and regulations on carbon producing materials,aerosol cans,burning rubbish,industrial chimneys,powerplants etc.

    the capture of carbon and the production of water and assist the aquiferous manta.

    the world bank pays large subsidies for reforrestation to capture carbon and the best tree for this is the Pawlonia

    Waterharvesting projects ,such as millions of small dams.to redirect over ground waterflows from the rains into the ground to supply subteranian water supplies.

    the protection of existing forrests.

    stop building more highways,urban planning to include vegetation stop building cities encourage people to return to the land to conduct their business from there which now has become possible thanks to the internet.

    education to motivate people to auto sufficiency by building more home food gardens.

    education on environmental awareness

    education on family planning to curb over´populaion

    Agricultural education and improvements to follow the principals or sustainability and soil management.

    more environmental or land ,design to prevent bush fires,such as--fire breaks

    ,more dams.regulations and control for public behaviour

    alternative effeciant public transport to discourage the use of the internal conbustion engine

    recicling wastes,limit water use

    Global Warming ... A Hot Topic

    Personally, as a science teacher, I would be happy with "The Importance of Global Warming".

  • 1 decade ago

    Is it for a science class?

    If so, "The Importance of Global Warming" will work. It is ideal for someone to know exactly what they will be reading by the title.

    In fact, you should be more detailed, and less creative. Like: The Economic and Environmental Importance of Global Warming.

    Just don't say that increasing CO2 levels in the atmosphere cause global warming because it doesn't. CO2 absorbs all the infrared that it can in about ten meters. Adding CO2 would decrease the distance slightly. It won't increase the heat retention. Relax. Drive your car. You're not causing global warming. Al is trying to create a business selling carbon credits.

    There are some interesting solutions right here and that i does not prefer to function to it as i think that as quickly as you're doing slightly ingredient, do it with conviction. quite then waiting for some one to answer your question, It won't take extra effective than 0.5 an hour so which you could rapidly discover out international warming data. do exactly a google seek.

    " The THEORY of Global Warming" would be a good title

    It's Nothing to Get Hot and Bothered About

    1 Degree increase = 1,000 consequences

    You can start with this and break it up into 10 major groupings about the impact....

    do it up....

    This appears to be the consensus among experts. If possible I'd rent or buy the video.

    No. It's not important. There is NOTHING that can be done to stop or 'fix' it.

    Ask yourself this: Why are you wasting time on unimportant, trivial, theoretical, unprovable, and ridiculous bull crap, instead of working on some important and real problems????
