    global change and health. The programme on global Environment and Health,1999. Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about global change and health.  
    http://www.euro.who.int/globalchange
    
    Extractions: Search global change site The programme on global change and health started in 1999 to implement the recommendations of the Third Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health (1999) and to promote healthy global environmental policies. To this end, the programme coordinates a Europe-wide interagency network that: Today, global changes have begun to affect human health simultaneously and often interactively. These changes involve some global issues such as climate change and stratospheric ozone depletion, and issues of natural resource degradation such as land degradation and desertification. "Human-induced changes in the global climate system and in stratospheric ozone pose a range of severe health risks and potentially threaten economic development and social and political stability."

How future physical and chemical climate changes will influence the structure, function, and productivity of forest and related ecosystems, and to what extent forest ecosystems will change in response to atmospheric changes? What are the implications for forest management and how must forest management activities be altered to sustain forest productivity, health, and diversity?

    Extractions: alt.global-warming FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions alt.global-warming newsgroup DATE: March 9, 2001 AUTHOR: matty at inch dot com URL: http://www.inch.com/~matty/agwfaq.html INTRODUCTION: This document contains the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for the USENET newsgroup alt.global-warming. TOPIC - What is Global Warming? The newsgroup topic is about global warming. This includes the scientific theory that greenhouse gases emitted by humans are rapidly and unnaturally heating the Earth. Scientists have already shown that in the year 2000, the Earth had warmed at least over half a degree centigrade since the 1880s. Most scientists attribute this warming to the emissions of greenhouse gases like Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from the burning of fossil fuels. These gases are very efficient at trapping heat in the atmosphere and thus directly contribute to the warming of the planet. Dictionary.com defines "Global Warming" as: "A conjectural greenhouse effect on Earth that is attributed to deforestation and an increase in industrial air emissions" * * Author's Note: Although Dictionary.com defines GW (Global Warming) to

    Extractions: Pacific Institute, 654 13th Street, Preservation Park, Oakland, CA 94612, U.S.A. A series of major problems with international implications has recently come to dominate the discussion in the last few years over the environment. These include global climatic change, ozone depletion, deforestation, and extinction of species. Growing efforts have been made by parts of the international community to understand and address these problems, and to develop long-term sustainable solutions. The Institute has long had a role in both research and policy on issues of global change because these problems lie precisely at the intersection of concerns over the environment, economic development, and international security. Beginning in the late 1980s, the Institute has pursued research on the regional implications of climate change for water resources and on developing estimates of greenhouse gas emissions under different circumstances. In the mid-1990s we completed a major assessment of the possible implications of climate change for the Colorado River basin, and held a series of workshops for policymakers and scientists throughout the western U.S. In 1996, the Pacific Institute began publishing a major research and policy newsletter on global change issues, Global Change Magazine . In 1997, we helped organize three workshops in developing countries to explore issues related to technology transfer and climate impacts. In 1998, we joined the effort to develop a National Assessment of the Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change.

    Extractions: About IHDP The International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP) was initially launched in 1990 by the International Social Science Council (ISSC) as the Human Dimensions Programme (HDP). In February 1996, the International Council for Science (ICSU) joined ISSC as co-sponsor of the Programme. At this time, the name of the Programme was changed to IHDP, and the Secretariat was moved to Bonn, Germany, through a generous grant from the German government. IHDP is an international, interdisciplinary, non-governmental science programme dedicated to promoting and co-ordinating research. Its aims are to describe, analyse and understand the human dimensions of global environmental change. IHDP's programme is designed around its three main objectives of research, capacity building and networking. Increasingly these activities are carried out in collaboration with the international partner programmes on global environmental change: the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP), the

    http://www.maui.net/~jstark/nasa.html
    
    Extractions: The prediction of climate change due to human activities began with a prediction made by the Swedish chemist, Svante Arrhenius, in 1896. Arrhenius took note of the industrial revolution then getting underway and realized that the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere was increasing. Moreover, he believed carbon dioxide concentrations would continue to increase as the world's consumption of fossil fuels, particularly coal, increased ever more rapidly. His understanding of the role of carbon dioxide in heating Earth, even at that early date, led him to predict that if atmospheric carbon dioxide doubled, Earth would become several degrees warmer. However, little attention was paid to what must have been seen to be a rather far-out prediction that had no apparent consequence for people living at that time. (Click here for full image) Caption: A simplified diagram illustrating the greenhouse effect Nearly 100 years after the Arrhenius prediction, we are now aware that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increasing, with the likelihood that it will double by the middle of the next century from the levels at the time of Arrhenius. Post-World War II industrialization has caused a dramatic jump in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As the prospect of considerable change in the atmosphere becomes more real and threatening, new computer models are being applied to the problem. These models take into account the natural processes that must be part of the whole picture to understand what could happen to Earth's climate as carbon dioxide increases. An important aspect of the newer models is their treatment of the "amplifier" or feedback effect, in which further changes in the atmosphere occur in response to the warming initiated by the change in carbon dioxide.
