Ocean level climate change
 
On of the most significant potential impacts of climate change is ocean level rise that may cause inundation of coastal areas and islands erosion. As global temperatures increase, ocean level rise already underway is expected to accelerate due to a thermal expansion of upper layers of the ocean and melting of glaciers. If ocean level rise accelerates as climate change scenarios project, the losses of property will be even greater than anticipated. Extensive losses of coastal wetlands and beaches seem likely. In past eras of ocean level rise wetlands and beaches could retreat naturally inland but roads and coastal structures have closed off this option of natural retreat in much of the US coastline. The result is that the total area of beaches and wetlands may diminish greatly in the US over this century. Some developing countries are especially vulnerable to ocean level rise due to their low- lying nature and limited financial resources to respond. Among the most vulnerable are countries with large populations in deltaic coastal regions such as Bangladesh, Viet Nam, China and Egypt.

A term, situation, responsibility, possible collision. Global Warming! That is the phrase behind our actions and inactive behavior toward our planet Earth. Our goal here at Climate-Changer is to reach more and more of you who are willing to contribute to the one and only goal - Reduce Global Warming and Change Climate!

Here on this blog with my fellow tiankata, and others who will join later, we will try to stop the nonsense pollution, expose the factors, organizations, countries and people who contribute for enhancing the Earth’s natural greenhouse effect, and give you the whole and sometimes untold truth.

If you are not so familiar with Global Warming be aware that measurements of temperature, taken by instruments all over the world, have revealed that during the 20th century the Earth’s surface and lowest part of the atmosphere warmed up on average by about 0.6°C. Man-made emissions of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide have increased largely during this period as a result of the burning of fossil fuels for energy and transportation, and land use changes including deforestation for agriculture. The Global Warming concern has grown so much that makes connected these two phenomena.

If we continue to do all the things in the way we have till now the Climate will change rapidly and this will probably be too great to allow many ecosystems to suitably adapt. Results of this will be wildlife and species extinction, affection of human agriculture, forestry, water resources and health. Such significant impacts will due to changes in rainfall and snowfall, sea level, and the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. It is expected that the societies currently under social, economic and climatic stresses (most of these are 3rd world nations) will be worst affected and less adaptable. Huge number of people in developing world, low-lying islands, coastal regions and all other places on Earth will be exposed to unimaginable events.

Practically said we need to use resources, particularly fossil-fuel-derived energy, more efficiently, re-using and recycling products where possible, and developing renewable forms of energy which are inexhaustible and do not pollute the atmosphere. If we follow this aim and other, which we shall discuss later on our pages, we can Change the Climate!

During the time and focusing into how we were living and how we live now or going back and inspect how it was like, taking it each time from different point of view – it’s due to how painful we want it, because that’s what it cost sometimes, to grab the true. But, (also) it helps us a lot in each effort toward to the positive, we all know that there is no coming back and regarding to some specific periods of the world’s history, when was the discovery of a large ozone hole over Antarctica and is association with man-made CFCs led the world to take action to protect the ozone layer is like just a part of process, where some new parameters are fact, and that’s so earlier, before any chance to have public plan . It is due to our own decisions, are we the same, that have to see and know how might goes just a dream, if we can’t do something about the major treaties on biodiversity, climate change and forest management. Well, Sustainable Development is not just about the environment, but about the economy and our society as well, we know that, but each importance around this facts might goes like manual how, because nothing is possible with no efforts to mark any interest and hope we are far away from such anarchistic periods . Discovering how important and dangerous it is, there’s no doubt how this topic hot is, and is there logical process because it is actual ecological appoints to be used for political reasons and unfair, sometimes humiliating schemes. So, pay attention! Gambling with our future is like showing every day what is humanly and in what we trust, before all and after all we must support the understanding for sustainable development. As any instruments are welcome, we can mark the closer future with successful achievements at the peaceful spheres of fight and you see that there are no linguistic barriers between our uniform idea to protect and keep our faces truly and conscience clean for damages, which are due to man-made emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, for example. Probably we should find time for basically philosophical questions like what about if we are human beings for real, but the difference is not so big for real, when we are looking into how closer are the animals and how unreasonable just like them we are, but should be great, if you know what is Chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs (also known as Freon), because that’s the main reason to be in touch with the results, and here they are .The Causes of Ozone Depletion is reality and it is enough to say that that a single CFC molecule can destroy 100,000 ozone molecules. It is true, that some results are due to value, but what about, if the damages need capital, but what about when sometimes such mistakes are born by inexpedient and frivolous decisions and stands?!! There’s no reason for hopes, when there’s nothing done and, when finances can’t help sometimes..

We have to keep the good and warm stand till we should blog with understanding for the network’s role and what can be so optional as the last meeting at New York was.
