Nowadays everybody knows that we are seriously encountering with the global warming and its effect are rising temperature and making the ice at the pole melt, rising the level of sea water but there are some things we have not noticed if the temperature is higher, you can find out in the article "'Dramatic decline' warning for plants and animals"
The new research, published in the journal "Nature Climate Change", suggests that biodiversity on the earth will be significantly impacted if temperature is higher than 2C from now however this action can be reduced by curbing greenhouse gases whereas if there were no efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions, The global temperature would be 4C, 34% of animal species and 57% of plants would lose more than half in 2100.
Im really worried about that we can not stop or reduce greenhouse gas emissions, every countries need to develop their own countries so that they are able to do without the industrial sector and this
part has released a lot of CO2 to atmosphere and that is the one of reasons of global warming.
The theory of Charles Darwin "Natural Selection" that explains about the natural will choose the living thing by evolution of its self that I make me think about if one day the temperature would be rising more than 2C, the living thing had to adapt to be alive and reproduce its species not to be extinct.

A very hot issue these days.
ReplyDeleteI actually think that carbon control might not be sensible response to the threat of global warming. The trouble with using the force of the government to control carbon emissions is that it has economic costs, which can retard economic growth, and I think we need a strong economy to deal such threats as global warming.
I think more radical solutions, like pumping sulphur into the upper atmosphere to reflect energy from the sun would be both cheaper and more practical than carbon control as we seek better long term alternatives.
My favourite solution is fusion energy, for which I think vastly more money should be budgeted. If we can make this work, our energy problems will effectively be solved forever and the carbon problem will simply become history.
Can you explain about radical solutions? What is form of Sulphur that we use? I am thinking about acid rain.
DeletePop,
DeleteYou might like to start at "Future of solar geoengineering far from settled" (MITnews, 2013 @ http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2013/future-of-solar-geoengineering-far-from-settled.html)
And now I'm not so sure that I support geoengineering - it sounded more promising in older articles I'd read.
I'm still supporting fusion research, with it's cool tori.
I think this is a vital issue which are repeating again and again around the world. It seems to be the simple understanding in every human brain that we know it is really importance but we do less action. How can we encourage people to take action and have a behavior that creates the better environment.
ReplyDeleteI think this is very challenging issue.
I totally agree with you.
DeleteThis topic have been talked not so long time back. Lot of people in the world concern about this problem but the problem is not decreased, may be it is still increased. I have heard about global warming issue for many time but this article give me another aspect of global warming, It is very interesting to know that biodiversity on the earth will be significantly impacted if temperature is higher than 2C from now. previous time, I think the temperature problem is not relate to biodiversity because the high temperature affect to only extinct of animal strain.
ReplyDeleteThis issue is interesting for me. When I was a student in Thammasat Univ., environmental management was one of the subjects that I really enjoy studying. By the way, regarding the Charles Darwin's theory, I disagree on your assumption that "the living thing had to adapt to be alive and reproduce its species not to be extinct" because I dont think that 100 years from now on is so enough that creatures adapt themselves. As you are saying, "The global temperature would be 4C, 34% of animal species and 57% of plants would lose more than half in 2100." indicates that half of them seem to die before they have chances to mutate or transform.
ReplyDeleteDui's source is an academic article, with language considerably more challenging than that of the BBC News. I'm not sure that it says any species will die out.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, it's not the first time, or the most dramatic, when climate change has had massive effects on life on earth - the geological record includes ice ages and hot periods independent of any human action, with the expected variation in habitats and sometimes loss of species. Indeed, our own species came very close to extinction about 200,000 years ago likely due to climate change for which we were definitely not responsible (Marean, 2010).

I think this issue is very interesting and I agree that if temperature rise more than 2c, it will cause a lot of damage to the living things. I think the best way to stop rising the temperature is that everyone should help each other. It is not only the government's responsibility but also the responsibility of every organization and everyone in the word. We can easily start by stop releasing extra CO2 at our house.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your article, I recall the topic of cars fuel topic. As many one know, using car fuel, oil,is one cause of global warming. So, many people think about electric cars. It use less energy and generate zero carbondioxide. this type of car is developed and tested for many years. However, I wonder why we not use electric car in the present.
ReplyDeleteAfter, I read this. I think of carbon tax or carbon credit, that is not fair for developing countries because developing countries tend to release more carbon than developed countries. so what is your opinion about carbon credit.
ReplyDeleteI think we have read and listened about this topic (gas emission or carbon credit) for many time and for more than ten years. However, the situation hasn't changed too much for the past because the developed countries,which consume a lot of fuel and release tons of carbon, still have a power and can control the agreement. As a result, There have no big change for our world and endangered species are increasing in everyday. I wish that they will realize it before the disaster knocks their door.
