Climate change is the biggest environmental problem humanity has faced. It has been argued and thought that the biggest environmental problems is overpopulation and the growing economic development. (The Guardian, the Daily translated 3/2/2008). But it has particular significance to describe a problem as the first or second. And probably more appropriate is to understand the problem as a multi-factorial, so sizes climate change, overpopulation and excessive growth interlocked varied and incremental operating or treating them separately or as a whole. In any case, climate change and global warming is to create a nightmare of humanity believed almost until the end of the 80 that would have potential in a distant future. Indeed it has been the view that it is already too late to halt global warming. This view is supported by James Lovelock, a prominent scientist (famous because he invented the trap detector electron, which contributed to discoveries about the proliferation of CFC and its role in ozone depletion in the stratosphere and the theory and the theory books Gaia). The pessimistic view is talking about warming up to 6.4 degrees Celsius and influence of food and water resources 6.8 billion people. The climate of the earth, pollution from manufacturing and consumer business and our overall human intervention in the world, are the parameters of the complicated and important problems and challenges that have so far faced man.
Climate Change-- when will the world take it Seriously?
Can we Justify what we did to Mother nature
Justification of the problem is far from easy. But nearly all realize that the base are the dominant global economic structure, the mode of economic growth in the global economy and deep political issues such as relations of advanced western (and now powerful new country in the world outside the West) in the developing world, the rich north and the poor South. In terms of operational nature, interactions in such a form and frequency, sometimes not only the man but also for the specialist scientist and cause unexpected surprise. Example: the inverse relationship between increasing pollution and the protection of the ozone (and of course vice versa). We live again in a warm climate averages year. The changes but the weather is so sudden and so extreme that surely cause me at least. On a day is like summer and the next day, just hours after torrential rains may or blowing frantically. Then again, summer weather. The changes are so sudden and of such magnitude that actually sometimes cancel any possibility of a remarkable anticipation. In addition, however, often simultaneously accompanied by large-scale disastersThis autumn just five days we had heavy rain and flooding along many parts of the country. Particularly in the Peloponnese, in Arcadia (in the regions in August destroyed by fire) in Thrace, the Rhodopes (where in a 24 hour fell half water than accept the plain of Attica in one year.) Flooded and while the county Evros (video) and enormous tracts of land with houses, land, property, etc. are lost under the water. Unusually for Greece phenomena such as tornadoes have already taken place in our daily lives.
Rising Sea levels a great Concern
Environmental Degradation-Where will all this lead?
.
In generally hot and arid winter for the past few days we had more snow density in the southern and warmer parts of Greece, while the Northern Greece receives much less snow now. Athens has experienced three waves at a moderate snow (2002, 2004 and year 2008) which had great intensity and frequency (three in six years) is not justified under the climate of Attica and Greece, as we know it and science 100 years (NATION, 19/2/2008). And now during the spring constant southerly winds, transport of dust from Africa and temperature inversion (accompanied by high pollution) are the main elements of our daily lives. Our course can still be considered fortunate. After the massive destruction of other areas of our planet even appear distant. So how to compare the tornado that struck a few months ago Boeotia (in 17 to 18 November 2007), in Sintra cyclone of 240 km and thousands of victims, which hit Bangladesh.
Where will all this lead?
First one end of the world as we know it. In all sectors and all countries, people and living things in the world. In particular:
The first direct effect is great to insurmountable financial burden and (critical issue in the report by Nicholas Stern that is the end of the text. Even in his article published in "K", 5/11/2006), that the disasters of Climate changes bring. The reduction of human losses is of course always the first challenge. It seeks so compelling. But the difficult point here is that this should be able to satisfactorily cover ever larger circles. But after this first vital need usually comes in a blow to the economy and the economic disaster that lead to extreme climatic phenomena, particularly for smaller or financially weaker countries. Originally climate change hinder agricultural production. In the second degree but may lead to an enormous reduction through elimination of "harvest". This is not just for farmers or only poor countries. For example we can see the problems experienced by Australian farmers as a result of the prolonged drought (the worst of the last 100 years) during 2007
