Do we Really Care for our Mother Nature?

Very large numbers often leave us indifferent. When we hear that the wars of the 20th century killed 110 million people, or that some 2,000 major disasters that hit the Earth between 2002 and 2006, causing 1.5 million deaths, these numbers do not cause us emotional commensurable with human tragedy depicting quantified. If someone informs us that in 2006 every hour free up 1 million tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere, or about 8 billion tonnes a year, these figures for most of us act like an anesthetic. Wonder, because it is difficult to realize such large sizes. Let's look at what effects can the carbon released in burning fossil fuels. The main effect is to anthropogenic climate change in a few years. On August 1, 2008, the journal «Science», wrote the following surprising: "Data from Greenland's ice show that large climatic changes can happen in just 1 to 3 years." Maybe our climate holds more unpleasant surprises than expected. Around 18% of greenhouse gas emissions due to the enormous scale farming, with key officers cows. These gases are released fertilizer and machinery for the cultivation of grazing, cutting forests to create grazing land, the division of waste and especially the emission of methane from the digestive tract of animals.

Already we are experiencing climate change and things do not seem so tragic. Could we therefore continue to live with our big cars, excessive air conditioning, the high consumption of meat, amenities, over-consumption? The answer is no. History, as though simply written, has many demons, and many details. In recent years, the Inuit, who live in northern areas, use air conditioners in the summer. Arctic summers will not have any ice in 2040. The sea is now the rate of 3 millimeters per year. This rate is likely to increase. Coastal cities like Nafplio, Chania and Thessaloniki, the 2100 probably will start flooding from the sea. The 2100 is not far away. It is the year that will live to know people, children or grandchildren. Island states and complexes, such as Kiribati, the Maldives, the Marshall Islands, Tokealou, Tuvalu will disappear from the map. The heat waves, hurricanes, floods and fires will occur with greater intensity and frequency. In the 20th century 10 million people died from natural disasters. In the 21st this number is expected to rise sharply. 50% of Crete and 35% of all Greece are at high risk of desertification. Desertification is the conversion of productive land to non-productive, because climate change and human activities.
