Humanity is sitting on a bomb. Why? Well, Al Gore, in response to a very smart in his film "An Inconvenient Truth." First, if the vast majority of the world's scientists are right, we have ten years just to avoid the catastrophe of the major could send our entire planet to spin the tail mass saga involving extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and heat waves, killer and beyond anything we have seen in the past.
Carbon dioxide and other gases warm the planet's surface and, of course, ask the sun's heat in the atmosphere. This is a good thing because it keeps our planet habitable. However, fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil and clearing forests, we have a substantial increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and high temperature. Most scientists believe that global warming is real, and it happens already, and that as a result of our activity, not a natural event.
Senate rejected U.S. President Bush has rejected the Kyoto Protocol, the U.S. Senate rejected the Kyoto 95-0, and suggested that McCain and Lieberman 55-43, and there is little hope that the conference will be mandatory reductions in greenhouse gases, at least not in the near future. Progress Paula Dobriansky, Minister of State for Global Affairs and head of delegation in the United States, the following statement on a new 10 round of international negotiations on climate change held in Buenos Aires:
"Science tells us that we can not say for sure, a dangerous level of warming, and therefore what level must be avoided." These statements very spectacular, especially considering that he created them. But, as Upton Sinclair, author of "The Jungle", he says, "You can not make someone understand something if their salary depends on them can not understand."
This is why the oil companies spend millions of dollars to keep the masses in ignorance about the phenomenon of global warming. At the same time, there is conclusive evidence and irrefutable. We are already seeing changes. Glaciers are melting, plants and animals are forced from their habitats, and the number of storms and droughts is increasing. Has almost doubled the number of Category 4 5 hurricanes in the past 30 years.
The most effective way to prevent global warming is the use of alternative sources of clean energy more efficient use of available resources and the control of population growth.
