Globalwarming: Coral Reefs, Climate Change, awareness2007

The 17 March 2007, by Tiger, in global warming awareness 2007

The health of coral reefs, home to 25% of all marine species, is in decline in many parts of the world. As the oceans warm, coral reefs bleach from the loss of algae that color and nourish them. Be awarenness about global warming and support our globalwarming awareness2007. According to the study “Climate Change Futures” (by the Center for Health and the Human Environment, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and Swiss Re), 27% of coral reefs worldwide have been degraded by (...)

Globalwarming awareness2007: Sea Level, Global Warming

The 11 March 2007, by Tiger, in global warming awareness 2007

Globalwarming awareness2007: Scientists warn that the biggest danger from global warming is raising sea level through a combination of increased water from glacier melting and warmer water temperatures causing expansion. Sea level has risen 4 to 10 inches this past century and is projected to rise up to 3 feet by 2100. For every foot of sea level rise we can expect about 100 feet of coastal flooding. Today, about 25% of the world’s population lives within (...)

Globalwarming awareness2007 : Weather, Climate Change, Greenhouse Gas Emissions

The 8 March 2007, by Tiger, in global warming awareness 2007

"Globalwarming awareness2007" : Scientists warn that as the atmosphere warms, climate becomes not only hotter but much more unstable. In 2003, the World Meteorological Organization issued an unprecedented warning linking an increase of extremes in climate and weather, occurring all over the world, to climate change. Since that time extreme weather events have continued to increase with the past year 2005 likely to become the hottest, stormiest, driest and costliest ever. Catastrophic storms (...)

Globalwarming awareness2007, Water, Global Warming, Sea Level

The 1 March 2007, by Tiger, in global warming awareness 2007

Globalwarming awareness2007 : Global Warming, by raising sea level, altering the timing of winter snows and spring rains, and by reducing glaciers and snow packs, will cause water stress and other problems that will impact millions of people around the world. As sea levels rise, we can expect coastal freshwater supplies to be tainted with salt. More water will fall in the form of rain rather than snow and snow will melt earlier, disrupting the timing of water availability. This will pose a (...)

GlobalWarming Awareness2007, Human Health and Life, Climate Change

The 1 March 2007, by Tiger, in global warming awareness 2007

For decades scientists have predicted that globalwarming awareness2007 will lead to a rise in the number of extreme weather events such as hurricanes, floods, heatwaves, and droughts. Indeed, in the last few years we have witnessed events that have had unprecedented impacts on human health and human life. Globalwarming awareness2007 : Over 400,000 people were infected with cryptosporidium - a gastrointestinal illness - after the Mississippi River flooded Milwaukee’s public water (...)

Plant and Animal Extinction, GlobalWarming Awareness2007

The 7 February 2007, by Tiger, in global warming awareness 2007

Plant and Animal Extinction, GlobalWarming Awareness2007 : Scientists project that 25% of all plant and animal species on Earth are threatened with extinction by 2050 unless greenhouse gas emissions are dramatically reduced. In a report published, a team of 19 scientists, lead by Prof Chris Thomas of Leeds University, studied six biodiversity-rich regions around the world representing 20% of the planet’s land area. Using a range of climate change data supplied by the Intergovernmental (...)

Impacts of global warming

The 7 February 2007, by Tiger, in global warming awareness 2007

The impacts of globalwarming are already occurring in the Arctic with temperatures rising twice as fast as they are elsewhere in the world. This warming trend could greatly affect sea level rise, ocean circulation systems and salinity, and change marine habitats threatening many species with extinction. Scientist’s project that melting glaciers and land based arctic ice could raise sea level by as much as 3 feet by 2100, threatening low-lying coastal areas from the Gulf of Mexico and Florida (...)
