Emergence of Mediterranean Sea acidification studies
Increases of atmospheric CO2 and associated decreases in seawater pH and carbonate ion concentration this century and beyond are likely to have wide impacts on marine ecosystems including those of the Mediterranean Sea. Consequ...
Global warming is not anthropogenic
Scientists prove that the global warming is NOT anthropogenic, but related to changing solar activity or other newly discovered phenomena in space
Growing frequency of floods in Europe and the world
The number of flooding events in Europe and the world has doubled since 2005 (when 50 severe events were reported). The figure increased in 2006 (67 floods), 2007 (73 floods), 2008 (77 floods) and 2009 (88 floods). However, 201...
Emergence of new agricultural methods for coping with climat ...
The strategic objective of the SWUP-MED (Project Reference: 212337) project is to improve food crop production in the Mediterranean region, influenced by multiple abiotic stresses. These stresses are becoming even more pronounc...
Due to the increasing negative impacts of fossil fuels on climate change, e.g. CO2-emissions, clean combustion engines based on innovative technologies and alternative fuels are being developed and implemented in all kinds of a...
Combine climate change with animal-borne diseases, and the l ...
there are the makings of a perfect storm. Certain conditions could come together to cause a major health epidemic or something that affects a significant sector of the agricultural business, or agricultural dependency, e.g. a w...
The seabed is lined with methane hydrate, and if you take th ...
We know in the past there have been great belches of methane, followed by a climate spike. The American coastline has had a lot of extra erosion because of extra agricultural production and there could be a landslide. This woul...
Water shortages and flooding as well as temperature rises an ...
Water shortages and flooding as well as temperature rises and droughts due to climate change would affect population movement in Europe and elsewhere. Areas for wine growing and other crops may begin to move to other countries ...
Major lack of sustainability in energy sources and irreparab ...
Climate change particularly linked to man-made causes and increased CO2 will involve more risky exploration for fossil fuels and irreparable damage to wildlife habitats, shrinkage in polar caps, sea level rises. This could be a...
Acid release of methane from plants on the ocean floor
Even rapid release of methane from melting tundra is likely to be of great concern (see alarm posted by Hans Schellnberger of the Potsdam Institute in my review of Clive Hamilton, Requium for a Species, chosen as a recent Bo...
Climate change, rapid changes, our current models
Low probability events often appear to be extremely likely, because they keep happening. So, for example, a large part of the Arctic ice breaks off and sea levels rise, maybe there is a drought and a severe heatwave that jeopar...
Some people has insisted on cycling everywhere and using pub ...
It is almost an ideology for him. You can probably find scores of examples of people making small shifts because they think it is appropriate, rather than waiting for the big shift to happen.
Major changes in the behaviour of ecosystems could be caused by the surface water warming by a few degrees. That could also cause an enormous burden for the power grid because water is used to cool practically the whole industr...
Particularly, strange are the sun spots (dark patches) as spotted by Galileo. They normally occur in an 11 year cycle, but they have been at a minimum recently as no sun spots have been observed for over 2 ½ years and this is ...
The bee population is massively in decline.
One of the reasons for this could be the changes in climate which is significantly changing the ecological system and the natural habitat. However, that is if there is such a thing as climate change!
For example the first European Hurricane. – We had a tropical storm in Portugal in 2008 for example. There is an interesting project looking at this – the Katrina project – it has nothing to do with America but is modell...
Sudden Collapse of West Antartic Ice Sheet
Global sea level rises over 3 meters in weeks. All major coastal metropolitan areas (New York, London, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mumbai, etc.) are submerged and become uninhabitable.
Climate change a threat to birds...?
Studies in North America are showing that over 100 species of birds are becoming lighter and growing smaller wings. It is thought that this may be a consequence of climate change and could eventually lead to flightless birds or...
'Spray' doesn't always contribute to CO2 emissions
The rapid spread of spray-on solar cells leads to a worldwide rise in renewable energy production resulting in major reductions in CO2 emissions. This causes a massive escalation in debates around 'global warming' as scientist...
As a result of continuous global warming, the UK becomes one of the preferred tourist destinations as water temperatures raise to 25 degrees and the climate becomes as warm as in the Caribbean.
Agriculture becomes a “gold mine”
A sudden change in global weather leads to sever crop failure all around the world. Investors and nations start to compete in global food exchange. The price of basic food suddenly becomes over twenty times higher. Finally, bas...
Suddenly algae production become the globally accepted and h ...
By mid-2010’s scientists in Europe discover new algae species from Mediterranean Sea which can be used very efficiently and very broadly in biofuel production. Soon after that the scientists discover a new scientific principl...
Increasing Migration Due To Climate Change
Extreme weather phenomena such as hurricanes, storm floods or droughts are already causing migration, especially in parts of Africa and Asia (e.g. in India about 4 mio. people leave their homes temporarily every year). Besides ...
People tired of hearing about climate change
People become bored and switched off about the issue. People cannot be bothered to change behaviour
Who pays for evacuation of potential refugees? Who pays when they sue because disaster happens elsewhere? OR - evidence that threat of vulcanism is growing substantially due to climate change (reduce icecap weight, etc.)
Climate Trade Tax based on fossil fuels emissions per capita
Due to growing climate change concerns, the European Union introduces a new Climate Trade Tax on all goods and services, taking into account countries’ carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels (including gasoline, light oil...
Spirituality is disconnected from religion
There is a massive disengagement of people from established religions, and a movement towards spiritual expression outside religion. This includes spiritual attitudes to issues such as environment protection and climate change,...
Flights in Extreme Weather Conditions
Primarily new composite materials are used in aeronautics. These are fully resistent against atmospheric hazards such as hail, hurricanes and thunderstorms and on the other hand are extremely aerodynamically efficient. In conju...
The world map is re-shaped due climate-induced mass migration
Climate-induced migration. Increasingly volatile climate change makes some areas of the world less inhabitable, causing large-scale, unplanned population shifts witin and across national borders and increased competition for an...
