Global Warming Chain Reactions

Global Warming is going to be at a more accelerated rate than ever thought before. This is becasue of the following reasons :

Global Warming & Epidemics…a Correlation ?

The phenomenon of Global Warming is so complex that it is almost impossible to find any correlation between it & the recent spread of epidemics.

Let’s name a few – Bird Flu, Ebola Virus, and also…under-reported in the conventional media…the rise of the microbes.

Global warming has been linked to CLIMATOLOGICAL CHANGES, yeah….like El Nino & others…

But what about diseases? Why not, may I ask? After all, with Global warming, there has been a multiplication of VECTORS……THE HUMAN RACE HAS DECIMATED THE BENEFICIAL ORGANISMS, BE IT TIGERS, CHEETAHS OR POLAR BEARS, and INCREASED THE POPULATION OF DISEASE-SPREADING ORGANISMS LIKE MOSQUITOES, FLIES & SO ON.

IMHO, this might have led to a spread of Ebola Virus & more mutant microbes….some call them MACROBES… bacteria that are becoming so mutant & resistant that they will be impossible to fight off with antibiotics within 25 years.

As to Bird Flu, one still does not have a correlation. But, the virus definitely has shown to be proliferating where there is massive human density of population. Killing off innocent birds is a temporary solution….the real problem lies elsewhere.

Al Gore nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

Hope he wins it. Reason:

1. He has pointed out to Global Warming at a critical juncture in time
   "An Inconvenient Truth" made Global Warming a household name.
2. He has pushed for the Kyoto Protocol like no other.
3. He personally helped to ferry victims of Hurricane Katrina
4. He has put forward practical solutions to global warming.
5. He has contributed vastly to the progress & funding of the Internet. Via Mosaic, THE GORE BILL etc.funding leading to the Net boom.
6. He is using the Net to spread ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS.
7. He travels the world frequently on fact-finding missions related to the environment
   
   
   There are many more reasons.....
   ??? and how many politicians you know who is doing what he is ???
   
   But then, hope he also runs for the Presidency ;-)
   
   
   
   
   
   

Global Warming Nearing Irreversible Change?

Many scientits are of the opinion that Global Warming may be nearing a point of no return.

Global Warming is not just about 1 factor. But innumerable factors interlinked with one another. It is very diffiult to understand the connectivity between the factors by our limited kniowledge.

Fossil fuel emissions & other factors due to humankind are the major contributors. Since it is difficult to point a threshold, it may be we have already crossed the point of no returm.

Al Gore, amongst others is spearheading a movement for the awareness of this issue.

Environmental Issues Need of the Hour

This blog is devoted purely towards environmental issues. I’d comment on general issues from time to time. And whenever some environmental current news comes up, I’d post it.

We humans are the only species that have systematically destroyed the majority of the green cover of this Blue Planet. We are responsible for the extinction of numerous species. And some key stone species like the tiger are nearing extinction.

In fact, such a rapid increase in “mass extinction” has never been witnessed in our planet.

Global “biodiversity hotspots” like tropical forests are dwindling at an alarming rate. One has to remember that 90% of species reside in these hotspots.

How can we even think of reversing “Global Warming” if we fail to address these issues from a broad perspective? Add to this the self-interests of nations failing to ratify the Kyoto Protocol.

But not only are we content with destroying our forests, humans are systematically killing off its denizens.
