Copenhagen! Written by Julius. , Thursday, December 10, 2009 at 10:14 PM, in Labels: important.

Okay guys, listen up. I'm sure you heard of the Copenhagen right?

Okay, Before you wondering what is the matter with me, I want you to know that the world Leaders to discuss any other new methods to deal with the global climate change at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, 7-18 December 2009. This new deal will replace the Kyoto Protocol and set new standards for reducing harmful emissions and global warming.

So if you then ask me, what can you do?

Go and vote for it!

Why vote for it?

You are exercising your own right to voice out what you think is correct and will benefit not just for your own but also the future generation, your family and friends. It's time for us to repay Earth for providing comfort and anything else. Earth Hour had endlessly contributed their time and effort just to encourage people like us to take part and to voice our thoughts to the leaders!

If you guys wanted to know how the climate will affect us then let's learn how the climate changes. Check the video.



If you guys don't want to check the video then read

Background:
The contention of the larger number of climatologists is that human activities since the industrial revolution have increased the content of CO2, methane and other gases in the atmosphere that trap solar heat. At the same time human activities have reduced the forest cover that had traditionally absorbed these same materials. They state that an increasing level of these atmospheric constituents has lead to a chain of chemical and physical changes that have increased the world's average temperature.

Observations of atmospheric gas composition, average sea water temperatures, atmospheric temperatures etc. confirm the trends and support the proposition.

Potential Impacts:

1. The sea levels may rise. Technically this may be caused by melting ice from the polar ice caps or an increase in sea height as the less dense water is less compressed. Low lying land like many Pacific Islands and Miami will be under water.

2. Serious climate changes may result from diverted ocean currents. As an example, the Gulf Stream keeps Europe warm. If the Stream is not running Europe may be much cooler and drier. Crops may not grow.

3. Ecology changes on the land could include species of animals and plants extending their range to the polar regions. Local flora and fauna may become extinct. A good example is the spread of Africanized bees and Fire Ants. Sea life may also be impacted both through the introduction of competitive species presently kept in other areas by water temperature changes, and by failure to adapt to less saline water.

4. Human society may be disrupted if changes in rainfall and temperature cause crop failure. Famine refugees may require significant humanitarian attention by the "lucky" nations.

Conflicting opinions?

Yes indeed, some people don't agree!

However, the problem breaks down into two potential scenarios. Either there is a basis for fear about climate change, or, there isn't.

If Climate Change isn't real and we do nothing - good! Except of course many of the problems that science has identified and blamed as causing Climate Change are just plain wastes of resources, and inefficient and uneconomical practices that should be addressed anyway. A polluted, climatically steady world with no fish and no oil will be no fun at all.

If Climate Change is not real and we do all the things that we should - reduce emissions, cut fuel use, re-establish forests - we're out money (maybe) but in general the world is a better and more sustainable place.

If Climate Change is real and we do nothing - we are dead or at least very miserable.

If Climate Change is real and we work to correct all our bad habits we might still be in trouble ... if it's too little and too late, but we'll go down fighting. If we succeed we live.

An afterthought:

Comments to this original post stated:

* it isn't real/ it is made up/ a figment of our imagination.
* There are no facts. The fact is we know nothing about it. Whether we are causing it or it is a phase the world goes through. It is just a theory. It will never be a fact.

The original article is here, wikianswers

The effect of the global climate is well known by most of people. Accordingly, to WHO scientist Diarmid Campbell-Lendrum says health is inextricably linked to climate. "Extreme weather events such as floods and droughts, heat waves and cold waves affect people in the world pretty much every day, and they often make the news," he said. "However, more subtle and gradual effects, such as the effects of changing temperature and precipitation on infectious diseases, on diarrhea disease, on vector-borne diseases and on malnutrition often go unnoticed, but are probably more important."

Okay now, readers, I hope you will go to this EarthHour to cast your vote. Your vote would be well appreciate. The effort is not tiring and hard. It's not time consuming either way. For a simple click you can actually save our mother earth. So, do not think this is waste of time. Think of the future. We were really been warned.

By the way, you can also suggest your opinion through the Facebook or Twitter and also Earthhour blog

So cheers! Help by voting for Earth! :D
