Miz Iznabera's Points of View

Global Warming Solutions The evidence that humans are causing global warming is strong, but the question of what to do about it remains controversial. Economics, sociology, and politics are all important factors in planning for the future. Even if we stopped emitting greenhouse gases (GHGs) today, the Earth would still warm by another degree Fahrenheit or so. But what we do from today forward makes a big difference. Depending on our choices, scientists predict that the Earth could eventually warm by as little as 2.5 degrees or as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit. A commonly cited goal is to stabilize GHG concentrations around 450-550 parts per million (ppm), or about twice pre-industrial levels. This is the point at which many believe the most damaging impacts of climate change can be avoided. Current concentrations are about 380 ppm, which means there isn't much time to lose. According to the IPCC, we'd have to reduce GHG emissions by 50% to 80% of what they're on track to

Effects of Global Warming The planet is warming, from North Pole to South Pole, and everywhere in between. Globally, the mercury is already up more than 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius), and even more in sensitive polar regions. And the effects of rising temperatures aren't waiting for some far-flung future. They're happening right now. Signs are appearing all over, and some of them are surprising. The heat is not only melting glaciers and sea ice, it's also shifting precipitation patterns and setting animals on the move. Some impacts from increasing temperatures are already happening. Ice is melting worldwide, especially at the Earth's poles. This includes mountain glaciers, ice sheets covering West Antarctica and Greenland, and Arctic sea ice. Researcher Bill Fraser has tracked the decline of the Adélie penguins on Antarctica, where their numbers have fallen from 32,000 breeding pairs to 11,000 in 30 years. Sea level rise became faster over the last century

Summary of Impacts of Climate Change This summary on the impacts of Climate Change taken directly from a report on continental United States, might as well apply to all nations of the world and should dispel any doubt that the World has already been changed by increasing atmospheric temperatures. Mankind has a huge stake in lives, buildings, agriculture and ecosystems being damaged enormously if heat-trapping greenhouse gases are not curtailed very rapidly all around the world. Global warming is unequivocal and primarily human-induced - Global temperature has increased over the past 50 years. U.S. average temperature has risen more than 2 degrees F over the past 50 years. This observed increase is due primarily to human-induced emissions of heat-trapping gases. Climate changes are underway in the United States and are projected to grow - Climate-related changes are already observed in the United States and its coastal waters. These include increases in heavy downpours, rising tempera

Climate Change Future Effects: What Can Be Done Measures -- Heavily Dependent on Teamwork and Political Will   -- can slow the rate of global warming and help the world cope with the climate shifts that occur. Reducing Emissions. Burning oil and coal more efficiently, switching to renewable forms of energy, such as solar and wind power, and developing new technologies for industry and transport can attack the problem at the source.  Expanding Forests. Trees remove carbon dioxide, the dominant greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere. The more we have, the better. But deforestation -- the current trend -- liberates additional carbon and makes global warming worse.  Changing Lifestyles and Rules. The cultures and habits of millions of people -- essentially, whether they waste energy or use it efficiently -- have a major impact on climate change. So do government policies and regulations. Coping. Steps Have To Be Taken  -- and the sooner the better -- to limit damage from consequences of g

It was shocking news that a 24feet high wave hits Japan . It is indeed enormously frightening experience to the people who lives in that country.   We are sending our prayers, for the people who suffer an unexpected natural calamity in Japan . We are hoping that no Filipino was hurt and died.   We Filipinos pray:   Dear Lord, I thank you for this day, I thank you for my being able to see And to hear this morning I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God And an understanding God. You have done so much for me And You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought That was not pleasing to you.   I ask now for Your forgiveness. Please keep us safe From all danger and harm. Help me to start this day With a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day To clear my mind so that I can hear from You. Please broaden my mind That I can accept all things Let me not w
