Let’s talk global warming.
The basics.
Global warming is heat held in the Earth’s atmosphere that would normally be dissipated into space thus creating a warmer and more unstable climate.
Causes of this are said to be greenhouse gasses. Water vapor being one of the main contributors. But other gasses including Carbon dioxide, methane, Nitrous oxide and Ozone play their part, but there are other gasses too.
Some of these are created naturally, volcanic activity being one of the main causes. Also our sun is very slowly getting warmer over the millennia. However the burning of fossil fuels on the face of it seems to outstrip this. I personally think there is enough evidence to say this.
Our population is expanding at an ever increasing rate, which puts a strain on the planet also. The deforestation of large parts of the globe for farming, or commercial gain by large corporations, or by just the pollution we are creating is changing the planet in ways we don’t really understand yet it seems to me.
The richness of our world in its biodiversity is being eroded. We are destroying without even knowing what we are losing. There may come a time when we might need that which we have destroyed. Being short sighted in our outlook condemns future generations to a bleak future.
The bleak truth as I see it is it may already be too late, especially if what we are doing is combined with a natural warming that this planet does go through now and then.
There would be no will by governments to do the things they would need to do to even mitigate the effects of global warming. In essence to go back to a pre industrial society.
No motor vehicles. No planes. No ships that burn fossil fuels. No fossil fuel power stations. No plastics. And that would be only the start.
A massive and I mean massive replanting of whole diverse forests across the globe; the like has not been seen for thousands of years. Even this would take at least two hundred years to have a significant effect.
Some say science will save the day. Maybe it could. But in the meantime the clock is ticking.
