Climate Change Explained

Egypt needs water for irrigation for their farming.

Similar situations in the USA with water from the Colarado River. Massive areas of California have become water short. Hotter than normal temperatures are causing higher levels of evaporation. Water that would have drained into the rivers. Lower than normal rainfall in the mountains that feed into the Colardo.

Large areas have lost tree cover and are now concrete. Trees help keep the ground air temperatures low by shading. The leaves absorb much of the solar radiation. In contrast, farmed fields of fodder, animal feed crops, and plains of cattle cause hot air to rise deflects the natural rain clouds patterns. No rain = droughts. Ground so hard that any rain is unlikely to soak down. Storms due to electrical influences produce flash floods that wash the topsoils into rivers and into the sea.

Increasing populations such as those living and visiting Las Vagas. The water demand has increased significantly. The Authorities are trying to cope by making it illegal to have any grass that is non essential. Grass verges, lawns and so on have now gone to reduce the amount of water being used. All waste water is being returned where possible back into the Colardo. However, with so many 'water softeners' that use salt, the water is becoming saline as oppossed to fresh water. Desalination plants are producing tonnes of waste salts that are being dumped and forming new man-made deserts. Foreign countries are buying vast areas to grow water hungry crops that are then exported to their prosperous countries for cattle feed.

The massive Ford Hydroelectric dam has about a 9m head of water in reserve. (Which isn't much). The consequence is they have to stop supplying electicity to some areas with planned power cuts / power outages.

In Russia, rivers have been diverted from flowing to the Aral Sea. The consequence has been the fishing fleets are no longer, there is about 10% of the Sea left. The rivers have been diverted to irrigate 'desert' land to grow cheap cotton.

The ground water level has dropped and the chemicals / poisons used to kill diseases on the cotton plants is draining into the ground water aquifers and poisoning the drinking water required by the few indigionous peasants left in the areas.

Global Governments, most, but not all attend meetings to discuss what should be done. Meetings such as the Kyoto Protocol and the more recent Paris Agreement - nice group photos of world leaders.

Has it done anything to reduce Greenhouse gases?

In short - No!

Why is the climate changing? Is it a natural occurance? Or is 'man' causing much of the problems - not by 'burning fossil fuels', but for dramatically changing the landscape.

Claims that buring 'fossil fuels' has caused the problem of Global Climate Change are based on 'modelling'. The predicted results do not match the actual results since all the vehicles that have gone over to being electric or hybrid. The Governments own figures actually show that the percentage of ozone in the cities has increased since the introduction of hybrids.

Recently it has been reported that the South Pole ice mass has significantly increased over recent years. NASA has reported that the increase in rain and snow over the ice mass has caused an increase in the ice layer. It doesn't mean the planet is cooling down again though. As with historic data (not 'modelling', but from ice cores) the ice caps increase and decrease naturally. When the winds blow rain clouds down to the poles the rain can fall as snow, or sleet. Snow being white reflects the radiation from the Sun. If the ozone layer increases less radiation arrives at the surface.

If there is a drought, and now snow falls for years (which has been the case), ice is not covered by white snow. Ice when bombarded by Solar Radiation absorbs more of the energy. The consquence is it begins to melt. Radiation then increases the melting and the cap fractures and massive ice chunks float away. It is a natural occurance though. Recently, and currently, the rain clouds are falling as white snow and it is reflecting the Solar Radiation more effectively.

In contrast, the Continent of Australasia has suffered droughts, torrential rain storms and very high temperatures. The two Continents are about 4,500 miles apart.

Argentina has suffered with three consecutive years of severe droughts. Brazil has also suffered from very low rainfall.  El Niño and La Niña are both natural phenoma. They have major effects upon the weather by directing the winds and water flows in the southern oceans. They are not man-made, but are influenced by land mass cover and ocean reflectance. Cut down massive forests that cover the land mass and regulate the heat and attraction of rain clouds. The land is then planted with short grained plants used as fodder or animal feeds. Strong winds caused by the land mass becoming hot.

Similar actions caused by the significant increase of Phytoplankton due to run-off of chemicals and sewage into the oceans. Strong upward air currents collide with cross current airflows. (El Niño and La Niño are just one example). High energy storms produce torrentail rainfalls that wash the topsoils away. The fresh water doesn't sink into the ground rock. Plants die. Man then irrigates and uses the precious water supplies. It is nothing to do with having a gas boiler burning mainly methane in England.

• The book explains that today it is WORLD POLITICS and CONCRETE that are the biggest factors.What are greenhouse gases (GHG)? What are GHG equivalents, and why are they still being legally produced?

• Is there a hole in the ozone layer? Or is it more mis-information. Does it matter?

Does burning fossil fuels actually make the Climate Change?

Or, are there other MAN-MADE reasons? This book explains why POLITICS is the biggest contributor to Climate Change.

Politicians are pawns of the wealthy. Those with substantial wealth finance Political Parties. Countries that are ruled by dictatorships have no-say in what happens.
