What is climatic change?

THIS BLOG HAS BEEN OPENED TO HOUSE ALL SORTS OF ISSUES ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGES, IT IS OPEN ALSO FOR DISCUSSION TO THE PUBLIC, SO ANYBODY CAN COMMENT ON IT, IF AND WHEN THEY HAVE SOMETHING USEFUL TO SAY.

Welcome to out blog, nature warning
and this post, what is climatic change.

This shows you what we are talking about

What is climatic change?

Here we would like to point out that we have pointed this out a while ago, but today we are going to repeat it, because we feel that very few people seem to know the danger that we are facing.

It seems to me that we still do not know what to do to take care of our planet earth, so these questions arise: What is climate change? What are today's problems? Let us look at them?
-
What are today's problems?
What is climate change?
-
Climate change is the greatest threat facing our planet. Humans are causing climate change, and humans can stop it getting worse. We can keep our planet healthy for future generations by acting on climate change now.
What’s causing the problem?
Humans are causing climate change by adding huge amounts of carbon dioxide (C02) and other greenhouse polluting gases to our atmosphere. The biggest source of greenhouse pollution is burning fossil fuels (like coal and oil) for energy.

Why is the planet warming?
Earth is wrapped in a delicately balanced ‘blanket’ of gases. Like a greenhouse in a garden, this insulating layer traps heat from the sun, and sustains life.
Human activities (like burning coal and oil) are adding huge amounts of greenhouse pollution to the atmosphere. The pollution stays in the atmosphere for many decades. Greenhouse pollution is making Earth’s ‘blanket’ unnaturally thick, and this is heating up the planet. This is commonly called global warming. The heat trap is also causing many unusual and dangerous changes to our climate and weather systems, best described as climate change.

Climate change and you
Australia is particularly vulnerable to climate change – environmentally and economically. We already live on the driest inhabited continent on earth. Climate change is making most of Australia drier. We are already experiencing more severe droughts in the bush, and water shortages in our cities.
Climate change is bad for our economy, and bad for our individual hip-pockets. In 2009, Victoria faced some of the worst Bushfires on record. Professor David Karoly from the University of Melbourne’s School of Earth Sciences discusses how the record heatwaves and prolonged drought prior to the February 2009 bushfires in Victoria could be linked directly to climate change.
We can stop climate change, but only by making major reductions in the amount of greenhouse pollution we create. To cut pollution, we need to drastically change the way we use and produce energy.
Individuals, businesses and governments need to become much more energy efficient and stop wasting energy. And we need to move to clean, renewable sources of energy.
Renewable energy is available now, safe for the environment and good for our economy. By dealing with climate change, we can make Australia a world leader in renewable energy and create thousands of jobs and new exports.

The face of death

THIS BLOG HAS BEEN OPENED TO HOUSE ALL SORTS OF ISSUES ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGES, IT IS OPEN ALSO FOR DISCUSSION TO THE PUBLIC, SO ANYBODY CAN COMMENT ON IT, IF AND WHEN THEY HAVE SOMETHING USEFUL TO SAY.

Welcome to our blog, nature warning

The face of death and destruction

This is a photo from the Philippines showing the destruction that Typhoon Haiyan has left behind, it is an issue that the entire world should take part and while we help them, we should thing about what could have been done to prevent that happening


The typhoon face of destruction

Death can come from everywhere at anytime, but death to come to so many people in a very short time is frightening, and it is even more frightening when you see the danger approaching and you cannot do anything about it, you would be scared and terrified to death and yet you must face the danger no matter what happens; this is how the people of Tacloban city must have felt when Typhoon Haiyan was approaching, perhaps they hoped and prayed God with all their heart, hoping that the typhoon would pass over them without destroying them, but their prayers and hopes did not help very much, see the destruction in this photo here above what Typhoon Haiyan left behind: it left complete destruction and death.
It is very disturbing to see this destruction and death; the authorities already estimate that there are 10 thousand dead people or more, 9 millions of people affected of these 4 millions are children; at this point of time the entire world should come together and try to help those people that have survived the destruction, it all seems so unreal, it seems as if it is the end of the world, it is a disaster of apocalyptic dimension. I suppose that we are all sorry for the people of the Philippines that have suffered this great disaster and we cannot help to think whether these Typhoons have become more violent because of the global warming affect. Therefore we should ask ourselves whether this disaster could have been less severe, if the global warming effect were not present.
-----------------

The face of despair of the survivors

What are those people here looking for, they seem so unreal, they must be waiting for help or for a miracle. This is how the super Typhoon Haiyan left the survivors of the Philippines




The face of despair

The face of despair after Typhoon Haiyan
Look at this photo, these people face can tell you all; they are all scared to death, they have survived the super typhoon disaster, but now they are scared about their future as they have nothing except the cloths they are wearing, their houses have been destroyed, so they have nowhere to go to, they must be asking themselves, we have survived, but what is going to happen to us next?
Here are some links that we have pasted to keep this record, let us hope they work:
And now let us see what this Typhoon looked like from above:
-----------------------------------------------------

Typhoon Haiyan face


This is how the super Typhoon Haiyan looked like from above







The face of the super Typhoon Haiyan

This is a photo of the super Typhoon Haiyan seen from the satellite above; it is huge that the only thing one could say, they say that it is over 500 Km in diameter, just look at the Horizon and see the round shape of the earth, is seems as if it covers most of the earth; it seems threatening even that far away and it makes you wonder how would the people have felt when they were struck from its huge force, these violent weather events seems to happen more often these days, because of the global warming effect, at least be believe that it is the global warming; anyhow we have already said this before in another article and this is the link to check it out; Concerned citizen views
As the inhabitants of this planet earth, we need to be concerned because these violent weather events are increasing, sometimes wet and violent and sometimes dry and hot, they are becoming extreme, so we hope that some people that have studied this weather problem come up with some suggestions about what could be done.
Today we are talking about Typhoon Haiyan and the damage it has done in the Philippines, but the life of this typhoon is not finished as it is heading now to Vietnam.
This is just another photo from the Typhoon Haiyan disaster, there is not much that one could say, just look at the photo, is says it all.
---------------------------------------

Just another photo of the disaster

This is just another photos that shows the disaster that super Typhoon Haiyan left behind.







Typhoon Haiyan has reached Vietnam

Today the 12th of November 2013 super Typhoon Haiyan has reached Vietnam, but it has lost intensity, it seems that there are already a few dead in Vietnam, but we all hope that there will not be any more loss of life, so things might be starting to turn normal, as the typhoon continues to lose intensity We will continue to follow the typhoon and we will come back to talk about the outcome. But for the time being we can look back at what has happened in the Philippines, if we click on these links below,

One of the many picture found on the internet that tells us about what is happening to our climate






Concerned citizen views

Concerned citizen views
We should all be concerned about global warming, and as a concerned citizen I am worried, because it seems to me that it is being partly forgotten, even these days that there are these huge hurricanes, like hurricane Sandy which has devastated many states in America, the majority of people don’t really try to talk what can be done to stop global warming, they don’t seem interested enough to do anything much, and if they do it is like a passive interest. What else should happen before we all try harder to understand the situation and do something about it?
For my own part I can describe what I see is happening in these parts of Australia. A few years ago we had a drought then we have had two years with a lot or rain and floods, and now the drought seems to be starting again; the weather here seems to change suddenly from very wet to dry or very dry.
Now, let me talk about my life experience about the weather, I have been living in Brisbane for more than fifty years, and because I have been in a farm when I was young I always look at what is the weather like every day, so I have a pretty good idea what is going on and I am worried; I am worried because this issue of global warming, or perhaps we should call this climatic change are not taken seriously enough. I can see and feel the changes that are taking place weather wise and I hope that there is something that we can do, so I am looking for sign that steps are being taken from governments. But they don’t seem to care that much, they only seem to mention it every now and then and everything they do is very little compared to what needs to be done.
So, I have decided to write a few hubs or posts to publish on the internet, So that, I can be counted in, as one that is in favour of doing something about this problem of global warming.
Here I need to say, that personally I cannot add much to what has already been written from the experts, so, I am going to copy some reports that I find worth reading in the hope that you my readers read them and let your own government know what you think. Here I have also to say that everyone of us can help a little bit, starting from the way we live our lives, for instance even recycling is one of those things that can help, of course there are also many other things to consider.
So let us see what the experts say:
Report from the Internet; let us learn about it;
---------------------------------

Let us see what the expert say

So let us see what they say; in order to do that I have picked up a few links that explain the situation. So, click on the links below to learn whatever the expert are telling us?

What Is Global Warming - Concerned about its effects?

Global Warming Facts, Causes and Effects of Climate Change | NRDC

There are a lot more sites that explain the situation, anyhow let us hope that these link work.

Let us learn more about global warming

Apart from the reports about Hurricane Sandy these days, there are other reports all pointing out about the weather changes, and the extreme pattern that is emerging so to speak, so, I believe that something needs to be done. This is one of the reasons why I am writing this hub, because I would like to be counted in, as one that would like to see something done about it.
You see, there are many sites on the Internet that warn us and encourage us to to join them and let us be counted, I could copy and paste some of these very interesting articles, but that will make my hub contain duplicate content, so I have thought to use these articles somewhere else in the web, and then paste the link here, so that you can see what I mean.
One of these web address is one of my blog, called Mother Nature Challenge, here is the link; http://helpplanete.blogspot.com/
-----------------------------------------

Global warming is here for good

Every day I see more and more signs that really increase my concerns about global warming, I have to say that I have never wished that I would have to say this publically, but there are times when we really need to express our opinion openly, in the hope that people take notice of the facts that are happening right now, so, let me explain what I personally see today. Because what is happening right now has never happened before to the same extend.
But, first of all let me explain how and why I have come to this conclusion about these extra concerns about global warming, since I see a great difference in temperature in the city of Brisbane (Australia). From my observations I estimate that the temperature in Brisbane has gone up about three degrees, in the last fifty years or there about. If this trend keeps going on I don’t know how we will cope with this very high temperature in the future.
I have been living in Brisbane for the last 52 years apart for short breaks, and since I came to Brisbane I have always worked outside in the building industry. When one works outside one is forced to take notice of the weather every day, so what I am saying here in this article is mainly from my own personal observations, so let me describe one of these observations that come to my mind most often and the worries that this observation brings with it.
Working as a bricklayer in the building industry, I know very well that when it is hot it is a lot harder to lay bricks for many reasons, one of the reasons is that even though the temperature might be only thirty degrees, it happens that in some part of the works in the sun may well be forty degrees or even fifty degrees, I could go on explaining some more of these reasons, but this is not the right place to describe them all, but what I need to point out here is the fact that because of the very hot temperature, sometimes when it became extreme we would stop working for the rest of the day. Most of the time it would work this way, if the temperature went over thirty degrees and increasing (we) or the boss would have to make a decision whether to continue working or go home for the rest of the day. Now did you hear what I have just said? When the temperature was thirty degrees or higher we usually would stop working.
Presently in Brisbane for the last week the temperature has been well over thirty degrees, in fact it has been thirty three and thirty four for a whole week and today it might reach thirty five degrees or more, so I hope that you see what I mean here: when I say that I am more concerned than ever about global warming.
----------------------------
This short notice or article here I need to add that I will be posting more articles about Global warming in the future, but at this stage I am wondering that I would like to link Global Warming with my other writings, and even though this is not a religious issue it is still linked to the religious issues that I have already published, so here-under are some links that you can check out.
-----------------------------------------

Where could global warming take us?





This is how Mother Nature would like our planet earth to be all the time, after all it is her work to keep the planet alive and well.















Here we have reasons to believe that global warming could slowly change our ways of living, you see, just by logic reasoning we could easily imagine that if the average temperature goes up there will be places where life will become harder and harder, it will be hotter and uncomfortable for us to say the least, but, not only it will be hot and uncomfortable for us, but the vegetation will start to die back when it is dry and hot and will not regenerate easily, therefore the desert land will increase in size, while the fertile land will shrink and slowly become arid land good for nothing, I believe that we should really think about this and try to see if there is something that can be done at least to slow the process of global warming.
If we are not able to do much to slow what is happening now, then we should really get ready to see the world in a different way. We should try to find other ways on how to survive in an hostile environment, but I would hate to live in a world that everything will depend from ourselves, because if something goes wrong there is nothing else to fall back in order to save ourselves. 
This is how we might end up, because we work against Mother Nature, and one day Mother Nature may destroy us.


Perhaps you think that this could never happen to us, but look even now there are already places that are so arid that is impossible to live on that land, one has only to look around to find the evidence. Now if we look even harder and criticize ourselves and look so far ahead we can see that one day we might disappear from the face of the earth, and if we don’t there will be a lot less people living on earth, because there is no way that they can survive, ether from the heat or from starving, because the earth will not produce enough for people to survive. I hope you see what I mean?

Modern exodus

THIS BLOG HAS BEEN OPENED TO HOUSE ALL SORTS OF ISSUES ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGES, IT IS OPEN ALSO FOR DISCUSSION TO THE PUBLIC, SO ANYBODY CAN COMMENT ON IT, IF AND WHEN THEY HAVE SOMETHING USEFUL TO SAY.
-
Welcome to our blog, nature warning
and this post, modern exodus
-

A boatload of people coming from North Africa to Italy, they also go to other European countries. This seems a modern exodus when lots of people move from one country to another. The question here arises: Could it be that the climate change has made this happen, because their countries are becoming poor.
  
Modern exodus
Dear readers, looking at what is happening today, there are reasons to believe that this modern exodus that we are witnessing today could be linked to global warming. Some of you may argue that the press dose not report this as the cause, but we suspect that it could be, because there are just too many people that move from their native land. Therefore there must be a widespread cause that makes these people want to move; anyhow let us just look at what is happening today.
The Italian Navy warns of “Biblical exodus” from North Africa to Italy and other European countries through the Mediterranean Sea.
The entire world should not talk about Italy not doing enough, because they need first to look at what is really happening; and then if they want come and give a hand to help the Italian that are doing what they could. What is happening has been described that it resembles a biblical exodus; Admiral.  Giuseppe De Georgi said that his ship has recued 18,546 illegal migrant, since October 2013 after the death of 364 migrant when their bout caught fire last October. Early in April 1014- four thousand migrant were rescued in 24 hours; it is believed that there are 600,000 migrant preparing to sail from Africa to Italy and other country around the Mediterranean Sea. So, the Italian are doing what they can.
To have a better picture of what is happening here are a couple of links and some photos to show you what we mean;  

09 April 2014
03 Jan 2014
Now if you have been able to open the links and have read their article content, then you will know that it is an enormous problem, and that the Italians alone cannot solve it, the entire world needs to step in and try to solve this world wide problem. It is my humble opinion that no country should be left alone in cases like these.
Today it seems that Italy is the preferred place for these refugees, tomorrow it can be somewhere else; now, we say refugees because some of them are real refugees, but we feel that there is a lot of them that just run around the world to find a better life for themselves and they don’t care at all if in the process they inflict damage to the rest of the world peaceful communities. One has to look at what is happening in Rome to see what we are talking about.
------------------------------------
Now, let us leave behind the Italian problem just for the sake of talking about the reasons why we are writing this blog about Mother Nature warning; therefore what we want to say in this post is this; we want to say that there could be a different cause that makes these people move from their mother land, now the only other cause that we can see is global warming, you see global warming has make their lands poor and they fight each other to survive; this is making things worse and in the end they want to leave their country to find a new life. Well at least this is the way we see it.

This is all that we want to say today, see you later on when we find something else to talk about global warming or other natural problems that affect Mother Nature.

Global warming reminder

Welcome to our blog, Mother Nature

Global warming reminder










Today apart the many problems we the people of this world already face, there is this problem that we are causing ourselves, because we are overusing our resources and we are causing changes in the atmosphere and this is the main cause of global warming, so we would like to remind you to try to do your share for minimizing this effect of global warming.

There are many ways for doing this, but first of all let us see what the experts say, by clicking this link of this article published on the internet,  Effects of Global Warming - practicalaction.org‎; Some of the content of this link is written here under and it reads:    

It is the world’s poorest people who are hardest hit by devastating droughts, floods and other extreme weather events. This is a massive injustice – climate change is caused by the world’s richest countries.
Around the world, Practical Action is working in different ways to tackle both the causes and effects of climate change, including
·         Working with communities to reduce their vulnerability to the disasters made worse and more numerous by climate change, and to help them adapt to the longer term challenges which a changing climate pose.
·         Working with other organisations to share our learning of what works well and what can be done to make programmes of work with poor communities even more effective.
·         Working with national and international bodies around the world to create and strengthen policies which reduce emissions and encourage funding and focus on adaptation to climate change.
·         Working with schools and teachers to encourage the delivery of effective, exciting climate change lessons which engage today's young people in the issues of climate change, creating a generation of global citizens who understand the impact of their actions on the environment and people around the world.
·         Launching and supporting campaigns designed to raise awareness of the impacts of climate change on vulnerable communities, and enabling them to take tangible action to support strong and urgent change at the local, national and international level.
----------------------------------
If we take this problem seriously, we should be doing more than what is being done at the present time, for instance in Australia it is election time soon, but both major parties have not come up with anything urgent that needs to be done, they are happy to go along and look at each other and also at the rest of the world. The great concern here is this; are we going to be able to do enough to stop global warming? Or, are we going to leave it for too late and we will ruin our climate forever? 
This post is being written just to remind people what we need to do, for the future generations of mankind.

Be healthy, wealthy and wise

THIS BLOG HAS BEEN OPENED TO HOUSE ALL SORTS OF ISSUES ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGES, IT IS OPEN ALSO FOR DISCUSSION TO THE PUBLIC, SO ANYBODY CAN COMMENT ON IT, IF AND WHEN THEY HAVE SOMETHING USEFUL TO SAY.
-
Welcome to our blog, Mother Nature Challenge
and this post, Be healthy, wealthy and wise
-
















Be healthy, wealthy and wise

Hi everybody!

This is Menfranco Laws posting this time, to encourage you to be healthy wealthy and wise. We would also like to reintroduce first the reason of these writing posts: These posts are being written to encourage you to help save planet earth; you see every little helps, and if everyone of us does something to help the environment then it is going to be easier to save our planet, after all we need this planet the way it is if we want to survive in the future.
Also, these writings are being created to find ways on how we can discuss and reach consensus about how to find a way which may help the environment. The word key here is to discuss and reconcile ourselves with the environment, since any other ways may well be futile for the future of all humanity.
In these posts we would like to ask people what they think about these climatic issues being discussed in here, while we will present them with what is happening in the world nowadays; but at the same time we intend also to somehow compare the boring old time ways of living to the hectic ways of nowadays living, this may well be interesting to some people.
In a way this will give us a broader base to discuss about public concerns, and also make the subject more interesting. The old writings ways of life that we would be using to compare belong to one of the people that are contributing in these blogs; they have not been published yet at the time that we are writing this the first time, so let us hope that it works out well.
If you are following this blog you know that last post that we have written was about grow your own vegies, I think that is a very good way to go; so, let us see how we can achieve that and at the same time Help Planet Earth a little bit.
Well, as we all know every little thing may help Mother Nature keep the right balance, and if we do the right things, we can be healthy wealthy and wise at the same time. We do not have to grow just vegies; what about growing flowers or fruit trees if you have enough space.
It would be wise to start a small garden, and try not to spend too much money if it is possible, recycle all vegetable matter and try to use whatever can be reused. Perhaps it would help to know what other gardeners do, but above all try to learn as you go; you see every garden is a tiny bit different from other gardens, so you need to observe your own growing garden to know what is better to do.
Some gardeners keep a record so that they know what is better to grow in their own garden, others just try to remember as much as possible, and this helps them decide what to grow next.

Remember this, just staying outside and gardening is a healthy lifestyle.

So, be healthy, wealthy and wise and start gardening; what I you waiting for?

Mother Nature challenge, help Planet Earth
Be healthy wealthy and wise
TO BE CONTINUED;
Next time with another helpful post
-------------------------------------------------
You are all invited to take part in these writings and please, write to a comment and let us know what you think about it all.
