Global Warming

Scientists do not get tired of arguing about the problem of climate variation on the Earth. Thus, some assert that the global warming awaits planet. Others are convinced that in the very near future the temperature will be lowered to the record marks.

The last research of British scientists, published in “Nature”, confirms the previously put forward hypothesis about an increase of humidity of air on the planet. The measurements of temperature and humidity of air on entire planet confirm the computer model, according to which the global warming already has led to changes in the water cycle , and humidity is only one of the manifestations of this.

The most dangerous is to consists in this system ” positive feedback” presented - an increase in the humidity will lead to further increase in the temperature, an increase in the temperature to an increase in the humidity and so further - possibly, as a consequence was formed ,billions years ago ,the incandescent climate of Venus. The previous researches already showed an increase of humidity of air in Europe and all over the world since 1975.

On a background of these debates the American and British experts have made one additional interesting discovery. They came to the conclusion that the climate of the Earth varies not only because of temperature fluctuations, but also owing to increase in the humidity of air. Less than for last 30 years in the lowest layers of the atmosphere humidity has grown on 2.2 %. This parameter has considerably increased, also, above the surface of the World Ocean.

According to the forecasts of experts, with the general warming of climate on one degree -the humidity will grow by 6%. “In this case heat will render even greater negative influence on the people “, emphasize experts . This is explained by the fact that the heat exchange in the human organism essentially worsens under such weather conditions.

It is necessary to note, that increase of the level of humidity , just as greenhouse gases,, is the result of the vital activity of people. Using temperature forecasts of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, scientists have ascertained that by 2100 humidity on a planet will grow on 24 %. Moreover, according to the assertions of researchers, if the international community will not undertake any actions, ecological situation on our planet will only get worse.

Let’s remind, that several days ago the manager of the laboratory of space researches of the Main astronomical observatory of the Russian Academy of Science in St.-Petersburg Khabibullo Abdusamatov has declared, that the planet is threatened with a global cold snap. From 2012 to 2015, in opinion of the scientist, the temperature will start to go down slowly. The global cold snap will achieve the maximum by 2055 - 2060. As the expert confirmed the intensity of sunlight slowly decreasing and will achieve the minimum, approximately, in 2041. Specifically, this will become the reason of a cold snap on our planet. Abdusamatov considers that the greenhouse effect will not be able to seriously break a temperature decrease on the Earth, as does not render essential influence on global climate variations. “The last nine years temperature on the Earth practically does not grow, although for this time the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased more than 4% “, - the scientist has noted .

On October 12, 2007. , in Oslo, Norway Albert Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change won the Nobel Peace Prize for the contribution to the fight with the global warming. Nobel committee estimated their efforts for study and popularizations of questions about global climate variation , and also the formation of information base for making of intergovernmental decisions for prevention of climatic catastrophe.

By its decision the Nobel committee has shown necessity of urgent decision -making for the rescuing of climate on the planet into the name of future mankind, before climatic changes will leave from under the control. There is a hope, that this will affect the consideration of further actions of states within the framework of The Kyoto protocol, which should take place during December 2007 in Bali, Indonesia.

In 2007 the former vice President of the USA Albert Gore has organized the wide information campaign, which basic purpose it was to describe to the entire world about catastrophic climate variations and about destructive human activity as the main reason for these changes. Within the framework of this campaign were released the book and film with the similar name ” An Inconvenient Truth” .

” An Inconvenient truth” - is not only enumeration of terrible facts about the catastrophic climatic changes, but also the detailed analysis of causes of these changes and the qualified recommendations about the necessary measures, which can correct a situation. At the end of the book is given the description of the fact that each person in his daily life can make for prevention the climatic catastrophe.

According to the data of experts, the elementary replacement of usual lamps incandescing to the energy suppliers in household illumination can reduce energy consumption 5 times. Furthermore , simple and accessible technologies on warming of windows will help to preserve heat in the houses - and to forego the use of additional devices of heating. The reduction of consumed heat and electricity – is a reduction of fuel burnt for its production and unnecessary of the building of new power stations, and means the reduction of the emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
