Changes in Weather

Tweet

Whether you believe in Global Warming or not, changes are happening. Just since 1880 when temperatures started to be recorded, in the last decade, 8 of the 10 years have been the hottest on record. Since the start of the Industrial Revolution, the CO2 levels in the atmosphere are creating an umbrella affect that is holding the heat towards the Earth. Just look at what has happened in 2017. Fires in California are worsening, hurricanes more prevalent and stronger, earthquakes; and higher temps on the West coast. With the ocean temperatures already increased by 1 degree centigrade (33.8F), the Arctic glaciers are melting below the surface causing the warmer waters to increase hurricane productivity. Signs are already showing. Take Katrina in 2005. 1200 dead, 450,000 evacuated and that was only a Category 3. Now we've had Harvey and Irma; both at a Cat 5. In 2012 Hurricane Sandy caused problems in 24 states and New York had a 13' storm surge which was the 2nd most destructive hurricane in history. We are already at a tipping point. With the permafrost melting it will be releasing new diseases from bacteria and bringing some of the old ones back like: Cholera, Yellow Fever, Malaria, Black Plague and increase cases of Zika, Disintery and Anthrax because of the increase in the mosquito population. We are at the tipping point of safety and by 2025, with increasing temperatures, it will change the character of human existence on this planet and nowhere will be safe. There are however 2 things that can be done to prevent this disaster. #1; cut fossil fuels. #2; new technology; as in, giant pumps that are 100 yards across that allows the warmer ocean water to drop down inside funnels allowing the cooler water below to rise; and also create a Stratus Shield that sprays sulpher dioxide upwards into the stratosphere to help cool the planet.
