THE EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING "Global warming will be the greatest environmental challenge in the 21st century." - Vice President, Albert Gore. One of the most current and widely discussed factor which could lead to the ultimate end of existence of Earth and man is global warming and its devastating effects. Scientists have asked how fast the Earth is heating up, and how the warming effects on Earth may effect crops and climatic conditions. Several current trends clearly demonstrate that global warming is directly impacting on; rising sea levels, the melting of icecaps, and significant worldwide climatic changes. This paper will discuss the degree of destruction caused by global warming, contributing factors to warming, and finally, discuss what we can do to decrease the current rate of global warming. I would also like to present opposing viewpoints to the effects of the warming process. In my understanding, global warming represents a fundamental threat to all living things on earth. WHAT IS THE "GREENHOUSE EFFECT" ALL ABOUT?

Rising sea temperature expands range of Caribbean coral. 4 November 2003 BETSY MASON Little is known about the reaction of tropical species to global warming Global warming might not be all bad. Some corals are flourishing, heard this week's annual meeting of the Geological Society of America in Seattle, Washington. In 1998, live samples of the coral were found near Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and in 2002 in the northern Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Texas. Similar northward expansions have been spotted in Pacific corals. "The silver lining in the cloud is that there are these bright spots where some corals aren't going to go extinct and might even expand," Precht told the meeting. Global warming's impact on plants and animals at middle and high latitudes is well documented. Here temperature gains have been greatest and there have been northward range shifts and changes in the timing of migrations and blooms. Much less is known about the reaction of tropical species. And for corals, most of the news has been bad. Warmer waters are thought to boost diseases and cause bleaching - the release of algae that are crucial to the coral's survival.

updated at midnight GMT search nature science update advanced search Fertilising the sea could combat global warming Iron soaks up carbon in Southern Ocean trial. 22 April 2004 QUIRIN SCHIERMEIER This story is from the news section of the journal Nature Haul aboard: fertilizing the sea causes biomass changes that could be used to combat global warming. K. Johnson / MBARI Dumping iron sulphate in the ocean to cause plankton blooms might not seem an eco-friendly way to tackle global warming. But, according to the most extended trial of the technique so far, it could prove an effective one. The outcome of the trial in the Southern Ocean, which surrounds Antarctica, was published in last week's Science . It suggests that each atom of iron added to the sea could pull between 10,000 and 100,000 atoms of carbon out of the atmosphere by encouraging plankton growth, which captures carbon and sinks it deep towards the ocean floor If successfully scaled up, such 'iron fertilization' of the sea could make a real dent in the high level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is causing global warming. Some researchers estimate that using the technique in the Southern Ocean alone could absorb 15% of carbon dioxide build-up. But ecologists caution that the technique could damage marine ecosystems in ways yet to be established A team of oceanographers from Californian marine research institutes dropped 1.7 tonnes of iron sulphate in the sea as part of the Southern Ocean Iron Experiment in 2002. They then used floating robots to measure the carbon flux - and found that lots of biomass was indeed created and consigned to the depths of the ocean, either as dead algae or fish excrement.

Cool Kids For A Cool Climate 'The Day After Tomorrow' may be an over the top, speeded up, Hollywood version of what climate change can do to our planet, but there is a lot of truth in what is shown. The Kyoto Protocol is an attempt by world governments to tackle global warming, to reduce the greenhouse gases pumped into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels. However, many governments, including two of the biggest USA and Russia refuse to sign Kyoto and many of those who have signed are doing little to meet their commitments. So, if our governments are doing nothing, it is down to us, kids and adults, to do what we can to reduce our own impact on climate change. Reduce the greenhouses gases that our lifestyles produce and t ake part in the Cool Kids Tree Planting Project and help us green the industrial scars of South Yorkshire. The first Cool Kids trees of the season were planted at Kingstone School , Barnsley on 2nd December with the help of money donated by Childnet "The global fight against climate change is a vast undertaking that will require sustained global citizenship and vision for decades."

SEARCH FORTUNE FORTUNE 500 FORTUNE 1000 Global 500 100 Best to Work For ... Current Issue CLIMATE COLLAPSE The Pentagon's Weather Nightmare The climate could change radically, and fast. That would be the mother of all national security issues. By David Stipp Global warming may be bad news for future generations, but let's face it, most of us spend as little time worrying about it as we did about al Qaeda before 9/11. Like the terrorists, though, the seemingly remote climate risk may hit home sooner and harder than we ever imagined. In fact, the prospect has become so real that the Pentagon's strategic planners are grappling with it. The threat that has riveted their attention is this: Global warming, rather than causing gradual, centuries-spanning change, may be pushing the climate to a tipping point. Growing evidence suggests the ocean-atmosphere system that controls the world's climate can lurch from one state to another in less than a decade—like a canoe that's gradually tilted until suddenly it flips over. Scientists don't know how close the system is to a critical threshold. But abrupt climate change may well occur in the not-too-distant future. If it does, the need to rapidly adapt may overwhelm many societies—thereby upsetting the geopolitical balance of power. Though triggered by warming, such change would probably cause cooling in the Northern Hemisphere, leading to longer, harsher winters in much of the U.S. and Europe. Worse, it would cause massive droughts, turning farmland to dust bowls and forests to ashes. Picture last fall's California wildfires as a regular thing. Or imagine similar disasters destabilizing nuclear powers such as Pakistan or Russia—it's easy to see why the Pentagon has become interested in abrupt climate change.

170. Global Warming An indepth report on the scientific, social, economic, and political issues surrounding climate change. http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Vines/8620/warm1.html

Overview The earth’s atmosphere functions similarly to the walls and roof of a greenhouse, allowing sunlight to enter, but preventing heat from escaping. Sunlight passes through the atmosphere and heats the earth’s surface. The earth gives off heat energy, in the form of infrared radiation, that travels back toward the atmosphere. Instead of going into space, some of the infrared radiation is trapped by “greenhouse gases.” The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and ozone. The gases send infrared radiation back to the earth’s surface. Around the mid-1800’s, with the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, carbon dioxide levels began increasing. The carbon dioxide concentration has risen sharply since then – from 280 parts per million before the Industrial Revolution to 360 ppm, the current concentration, or about a 25 percent increase. The methane concentration has risen about 150 percent. The increases are mainly a result of the burning of fossil fuels and the clearing of forests. The average global temperature has risen about 1 degree Celsius since the late 1800’s. Though it has not been proven that there is a relationship between greenhouse gas levels and the surface temperature, it is likely that the relationship exists. Scientists believe that if we wait until the 2100’s when we can more accurately model climate changes, it will be too late to change the severe impacts of climate change. Scientists have predicted that by 2050, the atmospheric carbon dioxide level will be twice the preindustrial levels. Ice core samples from Greenland and Antarctica provide information about the earth’s climate for the last 160,000 years. The ice core samples show that the average global temperature has closely reflected the carbon dioxide concentration, supporting the theory of global warming.

171. Global Climate Coalition Is The Voice Of Business And Industry On Global Warming Lobby group formed in 1989 to provide a voice for industry and in particular the oil industry - in the debate on climate change and global warming. Seeks to discredit human-induced climate change theories and argue against CO2 reduction. http://www.globalclimate.org/

The Global Climate Coalition has been deactivated.  The industry voice on climate change has served its purpose by contributing to a new national approach to global warming.     The Bush administration will soon announce a climate policy that is expected to rely on the development of new technologies to reduce greenhouse emissions, a concept strongly supported by the GCC.     The coalition also opposed Senate ratification of the Kyoto Protocol that would assign such stringent targets for lowering greenhouse gas emissions that economic growth in the U. S. would be severely hampered and energy prices for consumers would skyrocket. The GCC also opposed the treaty because it does not require the largest developing countries to make cuts in their emissions.    At this point, both Congress and the Administration agree that the U.S. should not accept the mandatory cuts in emissions required by the protocol.  NEWS Ministry eyes ‘super’ ships to help cut CO2 emissions TOKYO

Time.com People Fortune EW Bush to talk greenhouse gases with European leaders BEDFORD, Virginia (CNN) - White House officials say President Bush will take time during a trip to Europe next week to outline new ideas for an international effort to reduce the greenhouse gases many scientists blame for global warming. The officials say the recommendations are still in draft form, but were discussed with the president Tuesday at a meeting of top energy, environment and national security advisers. Japan and many European allies have criticized the Bush administration's opposition to the Kyoto treaty on global warming. Mr. Bush has said going as far back as the 2000 presidential campaign that he views the treaty as unworkable for many reasons, including the exemptions it would give to developing nations. One proposal before senior administration officials calls for a voluntary system that would set targets for reducing emissions and offer incentives to industries that meet or exceed the targets. Companies that exceed their limits could purchase credits from industries that are well below the targets, as long as their overall targets are met. The issue is certain to be a major point of discussion during the president's trip to Europe there have already been protests in his first stop, Spain, that have criticized the administration for denouncing the Kyoto treaty.

"The difference between surface and upper-air trends in no way invalidates the conclusion that the Earth's temperature is rising," said John Wallace, chairman of the panel and a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Washington. MESSAGE BOARD Global climate The panel did not say whether human activities such as fossil-fuel burning contribute to the warming. "The task of establishing causality is much more difficult than reaffirming the reality of the warming," said Wallace.

Time.com People Fortune EW Bush offers alternative environmental plan WASHINGTON (CNN) Hours before departing Monday for Europe, President Bush promised increased environmental research and commitment from the United States in response to the "unrealistic" goals set by the Kyoto Protocol on global warming. "I am today committing the United States of America to work within the United Nations framework and elsewhere to develop, with our friends and allies and nations throughout the world, an effective and science-based response to the issue of global warming," Bush announced from the Rose Garden of the White House. As Bush begins his six-day, five-nation tour of Europe, he faces international criticism for his objection to the Kyoto agreement. Monday, Bush called for a "100 percent effort" from the United States and the rest of the world to curb greenhouse gas emissions. "The rest of the world emits 80 percent of all greenhouse gases, and many of those emissions come from developing countries," he said.
