Climate Change: Facts and Impacts (part 4 of 4)

Climate Change: Facts and Impacts (part 4 of 4) Ø Given the impacts of business as usual emissions we need to act now. What is the maximum increase in temperature the planet can tollerate? The answer to this question has, necessarily, to be somewhat arbitrary, any change in...

A Interview i recently did about Climate Change

A Interview i recently did about Climate Change

If you are interested in climate change you may be interested in a recent interview i did on an energy website called TheWatt.

http://www.thewatt.com/modules.php?name=News&new_topic=30&author=

This was based loosely around my recent report on climate change which is available for download on my blog.

Climate Change: Facts and Impacts (Part 2 of 4)

Ø What are the expected effects of anthropogenic Climate Change?

This question has already been partially answered, climate change is already happening and around the world vulnerable communities, ecosystems and nations are feeling the impacts. To answer this question effectively it is necessary to look at two questions, each from an environmental and a human perspective:

1. What changes have already been observed?


2. What changes can we expect if emissions continue in an unmitigated fashion?

1. What changes have already been observed?

Climate Change: Facts and Impacts

Ø Is it happening, is it human caused?

Human induced Climate Change is the more accurate of two terms, the other being Global Warming. The importance of this is that in a complex system such as earth’s atmosphere a general warming does not necessarily lead to warming everywhere, it leads to changes in climate throughout the world, a redistribution of an increased amount of energy in a far from uniform manner. The two primary questions you might ask about what I have just said are:

1. Do we know for sure that the climate is changing?

2. Couldn’t this be as a result of natural variation in the climate system?

Climate Change was in fact predicted back in 1894 by the famous Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius. The reason for this is that it was well known even back in 1894 that carbon dioxide is produced by burning fossil fuels and that it absorbs strongly in the infra red region of the spectrum, but allows visible light to pass through...
