“Our generation has inherited an incredibly beautiful world from our parents and they from their parents. It is in our hands whether our children and their children inherit the same world” – Richard Branson.
Scientific and technological advancements have revolutionized the entire human civilization in a truest sense. It has brought us to a point where we can assume that everything we imagine and conceive is practically achievable. Nowadays, when our lives are surrounded by so much of digitalization and hi-tech machinery, when the rapidness of development and research is so impressive, it is fairly easy to forget the inescapable fact that we are damaging our mother world at an unprecedented pace.
So often in course to satisfy our hunger of attaining economic supremacy and industrial feasibility, we fail to realize that we are actually deteriorating our natural resources. We, along with all our advancements are disturbing the Read the rest of this entry »
What’s the Difference Between Climate Change and Global Warming?
Posted by admin in Intact Climate on February 18, 2011
Climate change is an absolutely plain expression for a very intricate issue. It is important to understand climate change and global warming and the effects it has on our environment.
What is climate change?
In the present dictionary of scientists, climate change isn’t truly a term of use anymore. The basis for this is that we have realized that the consequence of the changes which we bring in our environment will raise the temperature in various places on earth, but will also calm a few spots. The change in climate is in fact known as global climate change. And this is just what is global warming.
We expect a simpler example for climatic change with respect to global warming, one that gets the idea without excluding the straightforwardness. The easiest and most correct definition is that climate change is the result of accumulation of greenhouse gases on the planet. A few greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide and methane. While this looks like an easier definition, there are a couple of main things to recognize.
Firstly, climatic change effects are mainly due to human beings. Consider another fact, greenhouse gases are a natural component of the biosphere Read the rest of this entry »
The Case for Action Against Climate Change
Posted by admin in Intact Climate on February 17, 2011
Climate change has become a frequently discussed issue over the past years, but in the last year there has been more and more discussion about it. The reason for this is that there is scarcely a day which goes by now without there being a major news story about unusual weather patterns.
Just this Summer and Autumn (2007), we have seen floods in the UK, and in the US. Drought in parts of Australia has been even more acute that usual, and Greece and California have experienced massive forest fires. However, by far the most dramatic has been the completely unexpected extent of the melting of the north west passage in the Arctic, and we have all seen the satellite images showing a much shrunken ice cap right across the whole Arctic region.
Global climate change is the single biggest environmental threat facing the planet. Climate change can occur naturally, and many argue that despite the majority scientific view that the cause is human activity, the cause is natural. Read the rest of this entry »
