Decelarate of Global Warming

"Global Warming" illustrates the rise in temperature of the earth's lower atmosphere due to the release of heat-trapping greenhouse gases. The impact of this green house effect could be devastating.
Global warming causes ozone depletion, melting polar ice, and rising ocean levels.

- Melting Polar Ice
Ice sheets in the Arctic Ocean have receded to record lows, and antartict glaciers are melting at an unprecedented rate, causing sea levels to rise and indigenous wildlife to lose its habitat.

Nearly 90% of the permafrost in the Arctic could melt by 2100, which would not only extinguish wildlife, but also release an estimated 400 billion tons of methane, now trapped in the frozen soil, into the atmosphere, dramatically speeding up global warming.

- Rising Ocean Levels
Rising ocean levels could eventually cause worldwide flooding of coastal areas, forcing people and wildlife to migrate inland. Many experts believe global warming is behind the upswing in hurricane activity, and they also predict global warming will cause a dramatic increase in excessive precipitation in some areas and severe drought in others, resulting in floods, crop failures, and a rising number of forest fires and land slides.

Many of the world's most knowledgeable climate change scientists forecast that the earth's temperature will rise from 1.44 to 6.3º F by the year 2100 if we don't take steps to reduce greenhouse gases. An increase of 1 to 3.6º F will occur even if we do act, because many gases have already been released.

- Ozone Depletion
The ozone layer, which protects all life from ultraviolet (UV) radiation, is being destroyed by release of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) into the atmosphere. The widening holes in the ozone layer allow in more UV rays, which can cause skin cancers, cataracts, and immune system damage. UV rays are detrimental to pollination, seed production, and marine life food supplies as well.

How to keep water during we have a dog?

Clean up after your dog: Preventing water pollution can be as easy as remembering to take along a plastic bag or pooper scooper when you walk your dog. Scoopers are available in most pet stores. Many towns supply dog-waste bags in public areas, or you can order them online. Plastic grocery bags work too!

Hire someone to scoop for you! Believe it or not, a number of scooping service providers have sprung up to address this increasing need. Campylobacteriosis, salmonellosis and toxocariasis

Dispose of it properly: Once you've done — or paid someone else to do — the dirty work, you can dispose of the waste in a variety of ways:

• Put it in the trash, still wrapped in its bag (check first with town officials to make sure this is permitted in your community)
• Flush it down the toilet (without the bag)
• Bury it in your yard, at least five inches deep and located away from food gardens, kids' play areas, waterways, wetlands, wells or ditches
• Install an in-ground pet waste digester, which is much like a small septic tank, and dispose of it there. Digesters are generally available in pet stores and in pet supply catalogs for between $50 and $75.

Note that pet waste should never be added to a compost pile, because heat levels won't be high enough to kill the harmful pathogens it contains.

Look around: If dog waste stations aren't already installed in your community, talk to your local parks department to inquire about providing them in parks, along trails and in public places where people often walk their dogs.

Are humans contribute to the greenhouse effect?

While the greenhouse effect is an essential environmental prerequisite for life on Earth, there really can be too much of a good thing.

The problems begin when human activities distort and accelerate the natural process by creating more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere than are necessary to warm the planet to an ideal temperature.

• Burning natural gas, coal and oil —including gasoline for automobile engines—raises the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
• Some farming practices and land-use changes increase the levels of methane and nitrous oxide.
• Many factories produce long-lasting industrial gases that do not occur naturally, yet contribute significantly to the enhanced greenhouse effect and “global warming” that is currently under way.
• Deforestation also contributes to global warming. Trees use carbon dioxide and give off oxygen in its place, which helps to create the optimal balance of gases in the atmosphere. As more forests are logged for timber or cut down to make way for farming, however, there are fewer trees to perform this critical function.
• Population growth is another factor in global warming, because as more people use fossil fuels for heat, transportation and manufacturing the level of greenhouse gases continues to increase. As more farming occurs to feed millions of new people, more greenhouse gases enter the atmosphere.

Ultimately, more greenhouse gases means more infrared radiation trapped and held, which gradually increases the temperature of the Earth’s surface and the air in the lower atmosphere.

Water pollution

Water pollution comes from many sources, including motor oil and pesticides as well as fecal waste.

Water pollution threatens every living thing on earth today, and one key contributor is dog waste. Un scooped dog droppings lead to unnaturally high levels of fecal coliform bacteria in lakes, streams and oceans, choking out aquatic life and threatening the survival of many aquatic species.

Genetic studies of the water pollution from fecal waste in the world have found that it comes from dogs. This water pollution promotes the growth of aquatic weeds and algae, which then limit light penetration and reduce oxygen levels — eventually, it creates a deadly environment for fish and other aquatic life, and widespread fish kills can be one result.

On land, dog waste also has a very high nitrogen content, which can be harmful to native plants and grasses. So next time you take Fido outside, make sure you clean-up after him too. It's such a simple and courteous thing to do, and such an easy way to make a difference for people, pets and aquatic life.

Pollution from dog waste also poses a health hazard to human beings and other pets, whether it's in water or on land. Bacteria and parasites contained in the waste can infect adults and children with Campylobacteriosis, salmonellosis and toxocariasis, for example. And because of those threats, dog waste is not a suitable a filtelizer , contrary to popular belief.

Global warming what`s that?

The Earth as an ecosystem is changing, attributable in great part to the effects of globalization and man. More carbon dioxide is now in the atmosphere than has been in the past 650,000 years. This carbon stays in the atmosphere, acts like a warm blanket, and holds in the heat — hence the name ‘global warming.’

The reason we exist on this planet is because the earth naturally traps just enough heat in the atmosphere to keep the temperature within a very narrow range - this creates the conditions that give us breathable air, clean water, and the weather we depend on to survive. Human beings have begun to tip that balance. We've overloaded the atmosphere with heat-trapping gasses from our cars and factories and power plants. If we don't start fixing the problem now, we’re in for devastating changes to our environment. We will experience extreme temperatures, rises in sea levels, and storms of unimaginable destructive fury. Recently, alarming events that are consistent with scientific predictions about the effects of climate change have become more and more commonplace.

Could we stop climate change

From 30 April - 4 May 2007, the third working group of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) meets in Bangkok to summarize the best available science on how to stop climate change. Specifically, discussions center on the costs of climate action, the wide policies and measures available, and the speed with which climate action will be able to deliver the deep emissions cuts required to keep the climate safe.

In this briefing WWF wants to showcase a number of concrete initiatives from around the world that show that politicians, businesses and ordinary people are already taking real actions to save the climate. This short briefing note of inspiring actions stands in sharp contrast to the doom and gloom that dominate reporting of the climate challenge.

IPCC working group 1 and 2 have made the situation sufficiently clear - there is absolutely no time to lose. People are rapidly changing the world's climate, and with it undermine the web of life. IPCC working group 3 analyzes emissions, emission projections, mitigation options in the short and longer term, and options for policies, measures and instruments.

According to the published Summary of IPCC working group 2, up to 30% or plant and animal species are at risk of extinction at a temperature increase of around 2°C; millions of people will be affected by sea level rise and flooding (approximately 100 million people live within 1 m altitude of the sea level at high tide); poor communities will be especially vulnerable, especially in high risk areas such as river and coastal floodplains; and millions of people run the risk of their health being affected.

Much of the discussion in IPCC working group 3 is about cost. Of course it will cost money to change the global energy system to clean sources; it needs considerable effort from governments, businesses, and individuals, to put these changes into place over the next two decades. But this venture is full of opportunities and of thrilling, positive, constructive endeavour. And it is affordable.

The cost of doing nothing, however, will be staggering. All types of infrastructure will be affected and will have to be re-built: making roads and railways secure from flooding and storms, moving settlements away from rivers and coasts that threaten floods, securing buildings, electricity lines, and factories from storms. Hurricane Katrina was just a small foretaste of what adaptation actually means. Adaptation will not be a gradual getting used to things but a struggle for survival - in industrialized countries as much as in less developed nations.

Literature that IPCC is drawing on was also used when compiling the Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change, published by the British government in October 2006. In it Nicholas Stern showed that the cost of inaction on climate change could be as high as 5 - 20% of global consumption. The cost of action against climate change, however, is expected to only constrain GDP growth by a fraction of that figure, making it the cost-effective option.

It is important to remember that calculating the costs is but one element for decision-makers to consider - climate change is such a huge challenge for mankind and the well-functioning of life-sustaining ecosystems that even in the absence of any cost assessments mitigation and clean energy investments are an ethical must.

There is today ample information out there to tell decision-makers what to do. In this document, WWF has compiled a short list of policy initiatives, business efforts, and actions by individuals which WWF has helped to bring to life and which illustrate the growing movement of actions and activists who want to help turn the tide.

Climate change

On Feb. 2, 2007, the United Nations scientific panel studying climate change declared that the evidence of a warming trend is "unequivocal," and that human activity has "very likely" been the driving force in that change over the last 50 years. The last report by the group, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, in 2001, had found that humanity had "likely" played a role.

The addition of that single word "very" did more than reflect mounting scientific evidence that the release of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases from smokestacks, tailpipes and burning forests has played a central role in raising the average surface temperature of the earth by more than 1 degree Fahrenheit since 1900. It also added new momentum to a debate that now seems centered less over whether humans are warming the planet, but instead over what to do about it. In recent months, business groups have banded together to make unprecedented calls for federal regulation of greenhouse gases. The subject had a red-carpet moment when former Vice President Al Gore's documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," was awarded an Oscar; and the Supreme Court made its first global warming-related decision, ruling 5 to 4 that the Environmental Protection Agency had not justified its position that it was not authorized to regulate carbon dioxide.

The greenhouse effect has been part of the earth's workings since its earliest days. Gases like carbon dioxide and methane allow sunlight to reach the earth, but prevent some of the resulting heat from radiating back out into space. Without the greenhouse effect, the planet would never have warmed enough to allow life to form. But as ever larger amounts of carbon dioxide have been released along with the development of industrial economies, the atmosphere has grown warmer at an accelerating rate: Since 1970, temperatures have gone up at nearly three times the average for the 20th century.

The latest report from the climate panel predicted that the global climate is likely to rise between 3.5 and 8 degrees Fahrenheit if the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere reaches twice the level of 1750. By 2100, sea levels are likely to rise between 7 to 23 inches, it said, and the changes now underway will continue for centuries to come.

Reduce global warming from home

Switch a couple of light bulbs to energy efficient compact fluorescent bulbs. They are 75 per cent more energy efficient and last 10 times as long as regular bulbs. Each energy efficient light bulb keeps half a tonne of CO2 out of the air over its lifetime.

Let the sun shine in all winter. Keep your blinds, drapes and shutters open to allow daylight in. Even in the winter, sunlight creates passive solar heating. This can provide a couple of degrees of extra heat to a room for free.

Wash your clothes in cold water. Unless you’re a rugby player, it’s probably all you need. It can save you $85 a year and cut emissions by a third of a tonne.

Look for the Energy Star label on appliances. Products with this internationally recognized symbol use 20-40 per cent less energy than standard products. A new fridge could save enough energy to light an average house for three months.

Choose a laptop over a desktop. A desktop computer uses as much as five times more energy. Make sure you have your computer’s power management function turned on; screen-savers don’t save energy.

This fall, properly seal your house with weather stripping and caulking. In the average Canadian house the combined ‘heat leaks’ would equal a hole the size of a basketball. Keeping ‘leaks’ to a minimum can reduce your heating bill by 25 per cent.

Switch to a water-saving showerhead. They use half the water as a standard head, meaning half as much water to treat and pump.

Switch to a renewable energy provider, such as Bullfrog Power.

Global warming?, did you know that?

Global warming is caused by the dramatic increase in greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. It is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas that has led to increased amounts of greenhouse gases, causing the earth to heat up at an accelerated rate. This effect is known as global warming. Once this global warming affects our weather patterns, it is referred to as climate change.

Human’s reliance on fossil fuels because of increasing industrialization in transportation, industry, energy production, agriculture and deforestation, has increased greatly.

Over the past century we have also cleared more land than in all of human history. This has resulted in the loss of forests and wetlands, which absorb and store greenhouse gases and naturally regulate the atmosphere.

The solutions to global warming are rooted in its causes. Protect forested areas and plant new trees and we can sequester carbon and clean the air. Use electricity wisely and drive less.

Reduce CO2 and save our planet

Since the nations of the world converged in bali to try and acquiescent an agreement on how to reduce the trigger of global warming, the scientist of climate detected for many years that humanity life style are affecting the earth temperature and predicted dangerous consequences if we do nothing.

Indonesia as an archipelago islands particularly threatened, so we can`t afford to ignore this.

The serious trigger is carbon dioxide, if we continue to burn fossil fuels such as oil and coal, its mean we contributed irreversible damage to our precious environment.

Although we worrying it might be, the situation is far from hopeless, while the challenge needs to be faced by government and industry, but there are many things we can all do to alleviate the threat of climate change and many of the actions we can take to reduce CO2 emissions can save us money as well as helping save the earth.

But what exactly can we do to reduce our carbon footprint?

Here are few ideas to do that.

1. Recycling : product made from recycled materials will reduce, carbon emissions because they use less energy to manufacture than products made from new materials. As an example: recycling paper saves tree and lets them continue to reduce climate change naturally.
2. Lighting : the energy efficient bulbs help fight climate change because they reduce the amount of fossil fuels that utilities burn and we can save 45 kg of carbon for each incandescent bulb you replace with energy saver bulb.
3. Shopping : when we shopping preferable we buy local product because if we buy product from other side of the world , we can imagine how much fuel fossil burn to distributing the stuff.
4. Air conditioning : we can easily install a programmable thermostat that can save money and carbon and also turn off the AC when we go on bed or leave the house.
5. Travel : aeroplane are heavy emitters of CO2 and the airline industry development impacting of global warming, so if you skip one round trip flight a year, you do your bit to help.

So do you think, we can help and save our planet?

Why is the air so polluted?

Why is the weather going crazy?

Why is it getting hotter and hotter?

Mostly people don’t realize that their activities triggered to those questions, and how their activities affect the earth and contribute to global warming?

Actually, many wasteful habits always they do, such as watching three television sets with the radio, fan and air condition on and than devise to buy new car again, that will only add to the pollution and long traffic jams.

Conclusion is bad habits related to global warming “do we agree with it”.

Can we imagine there are many people leaving the air condition and TV sets on, when not in use and letting the water run when brushing teeth ?.

So if we aware with our earth could we start from now to changing little thing and leave bad habits?

Let’s, we inform and involve our children and friends, to do the best for the earth.

Relation Climate Change on Health

Indonesia government was launch a campaign to protect and secure natural resources, climate change is seriously affecting Indonesian health and becomes a burden on the national health system.

Climate change was directly affecting people’s health, there are more disease outbreaks and other problems due to the imbalance of the ecosystem and climate change also contribute to natural disaster such as heat waves, floods, drought and changing temperatures and precipitation might also increase outbreaks of sensitive diseases such as dengue, malaria, malnutrition and diarrhea as well.

So the efforts to improve basic sanitation facilities are needed in dealing with immediate and future health consequences and the availability of clean water supplies also could prevent infectious diseases and secure food production.

Many potential health problems could be controlled through health system interventions, including disease surveillance, disaster preparedness and primary healthcare.

We also can participate

The climate change has become a global issue, but it doesn`t meant we couldn`t participate to solve the matter, we don`t have to thinks a big problems, but we could start from the small things and start from now.

Ther are many our typical day impacting to climate change, and sometimes we don`t realize that.

Many points we could do to contribute and reduce the climate change fenomena.

Influence of climate change to human health quality

WHO ( World Health Organisation) declared the 7 april as world health day, the commemoration meant to awaken awareness of global health issue as a consequences of climate change.

In 2008 theme selected by WHO is "Protecting Health from Climate Change", why They lifted topics about climate change? , cause this issue heating to be discussed by international member.

Recently the world surprised by slided a huge ices block in antartik which is broadness 2/3 of jakarta (metropol in indonesia), it`s mean the natural phenomenon prove that anxiety of climate change dispited by global warming happened.

Other natural phenomena detected by scientist is increasing temperature on the earth, as effect of increas carbon dioxide gas in the athmosfer as a result usage of fossil fuel by factories and vehicles uncontroled, so sun ultra violet radiation which step into earth snared and cannot return back, and known as green house effect.

The estimated carbon dioxide gas rate in athmosfer reached 385 ppm in 2006, its shown significant increases currently 650.000 years, and in last 12 years (1996-2007) noted as hottest year pursuant to report measurement of global surface temperature and IPCC (International Panel of Climate Change), in 2100 global temperature predicted will grow up 1,8-4 degree celcius.

no sun link to climate change

By Richard Black
Environment correspondent, BBC News website

Cloud cover affects temperature - but what determines cloud cover?

Scientists have produced further compelling evidence showing that modern-day climate change is not caused by changes in the Sun's activity.

The research contradicts a favoured theory of climate "sceptics", that changes in cosmic rays coming to Earth determine cloudiness and temperature.

The idea is that variations in solar activity affect cosmic ray intensity.

But Lancaster University scientists found there has been no significant link between them in the last 20 years.

Presenting their findings in the Institute of Physics journal, Environmental Research Letters, the UK team explain that they used three different ways to search for a correlation, and found virtually none.

This is the latest piece of evidence which at the very least puts the cosmic ray theory, developed by Danish scientist Henrik Svensmark at the Danish National Space Center (DNSC), under very heavy pressure.

Dr Svensmark's idea formed a centrepiece of the controversial documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle.

Wrong path

"We started on this game because of Svensmark's work," said Terry Sloan from Lancaster University.

"If he is right, then we are going down the wrong path of taking all these expensive measures to cut carbon emissions; if he is right, we could carry on with carbon emissions as normal."

Cosmic rays are deflected away from Earth by our planet's magnetic field, and by the solar wind - streams of electrically charged particles coming from the Sun.

The Svensmark hypothesis is that when the solar wind is weak, more cosmic rays penetrate to Earth.

That creates more charged particles in the atmosphere, which in turn induces more clouds to form, cooling the climate.

The planet warms up when the Sun's output is strong.

Professor Sloan's team investigated the link by looking for periods in time and for places on the Earth which had documented weak or strong cosmic ray arrivals, and seeing if that affected the cloudiness observed in those locations or at those times.

"For example; sometimes the Sun 'burps' - it throws out a huge burst of charged particles," he explained to BBC News.

"So we looked to see whether cloud cover increased after one of these bursts of rays from the Sun; we saw nothing."

Over the course of one of the Sun's natural 11-year cycles, there was a weak correlation between cosmic ray intensity and cloud cover - but cosmic ray variability could at the very most explain only a quarter of the changes in cloudiness.

And for the following cycle, no correlation was found.

Limited effect

Dr Svensmark himself was unimpressed by the findings.

"Terry Sloan has simply failed to understand how cosmic rays work on clouds," he told BBC News.

"He predicts much bigger effects than we would do, as between the equator and the poles, and after solar eruptions; then, because he doesn't see those big effects, he says our story is wrong, when in fact we have plenty of evidence to support it."

But another researcher who has worked on the issue, Giles Harrison from Reading University, said the work was important "as it provides an upper limit on the cosmic ray-cloud effect in global satellite cloud data".

Climate change: No Sun link A cosmic climate connection?

Dr Harrison's own research, looking at the UK only, has also suggested that cosmic rays make only a very weak contribution to cloud formation.

The Svensmark hypothesis has also been attacked in recent months by Mike Lockwood from the UK's Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory.

He showed that over the last 20 years, solar activity has been slowly declining, which should have led to a drop in global temperatures if the theory was correct.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), in its vast assessment of climate science last year, concluded that since temperatures began rising rapidly in the 1970s, the contribution of humankind's greenhouse gas emissions has outweighed that of solar variability by a factor of about 13 to one.

According to Terry Sloan, the message coming from his research is simple.

"We tried to corroborate Svensmark's hypothesis, but we could not; as far as we can see, he has no reason to challenge the IPCC - the IPCC has got it right.

"So we had better carry on trying to cut carbon emissions."

global temperatures to decrease

By Roger Harrabin
BBC News environment analyst

La Nina caused some of the coldest temperatures in memory in China

Global temperatures will drop slightly this year as a result of the cooling effect of the La Nina current in the Pacific, UN meteorologists have said.

The World Meteorological Organization's secretary-general, Michel Jarraud, told the BBC it was likely that La Nina would continue into the summer.

This would mean global temperatures have not risen since 1998, prompting some to question climate change theory.

But experts say we are still clearly in a long-term warming trend - and they forecast a new record high temperature within five years.

The WMO points out that the decade from 1998 to 2007 was the warmest on record. Since the beginning of the 20th Century, the global average surface temperature has risen by 0.74C.

While Nasa, the US space agency, cites 2005 as the warmest year, the UK's Hadley Centre lists it as second to 1998.

Researchers say the uncertainty in the observed value for any particular year is larger than these small temperature differences. What matters, they say, is the long-term upward trend.

Rises 'stalled'

LA NINA KEY FACTS La Nina translates from the Spanish as "The Child Girl" Refers to the extensive cooling of the central and eastern Pacific Increased sea temperatures on the western side of the Pacific mean the atmosphere has more energy and frequency of heavy rain and thunderstorms is increased Typically lasts for up to 12 months and generally less damaging event than the stronger El Nino

La Nina and El Nino are two great natural Pacific currents whose effects are so huge they resonate round the world.

El Nino warms the planet when it happens; La Nina cools it. This year, the Pacific is in the grip of a powerful La Nina.

It has contributed to torrential rains in Australia and to some of the coldest temperatures in memory in snow-bound parts of China.

Mr Jarraud told the BBC that the effect was likely to continue into the summer, depressing temperatures globally by a fraction of a degree.

This would mean that temperatures have not risen globally since 1998 when El Nino warmed the world.

Watching trends

A minority of scientists question whether this means global warming has peaked and argue the Earth has proved more resilient to greenhouse gases than predicted.

Animation of El Nino and La Nina effects

But Mr Jarraud insisted this was not the case and noted that 2008 temperatures would still be well above average for the century.

"When you look at climate change you should not look at any particular year," he said. "You should look at trends over a pretty long period and the trend of temperature globally is still very much indicative of warming.

"La Nina is part of what we call 'variability'. There has always been and there will always be cooler and warmer years, but what is important for climate change is that the trend is up; the climate on average is warming even if there is a temporary cooling because of La Nina."

China suffered from heavy snow in January

Adam Scaife, lead scientist for Modelling Climate Variability at the Hadley Centre in Exeter, UK, said their best estimate for 2008 was about 0.4C above the 1961-1990 average, and higher than this if you compared it with further back in the 20th Century.

Mr Scaife told the BBC: "What's happened now is that La Nina has come along and depressed temperatures slightly but these changes are very small compared to the long-term climate change signal, and in a few years time we are confident that the current record temperature of 1998 will be beaten when the La Nina has ended."

Is climate change contribute dengue endemic

What is dengue fever?
After malaria dengue is one of tropical illness affecting travellers, dengue caused by virus and spread by an infected mosquito having bites and consumpt of your blood.

The mosquito has adapted to specipically live in our lively hood and always bites during the day in the 3 hours around dawn and the 3 hours around sunset.

Dengue symptoms are headache, severe muscle and breakbone fever, rash and fever, the whole illness coming on very suddenly.

Dengue often seems to get better than comes back again hence another name for it is saddle back fever, usually the worst syptomps are over in a week, however many people get a milder version.

More severe form of dengue called dengue haemorrhagic fever with bleeding into the skin and other organs.

We can avoid getting dengue, it is not easy but possible by:

• sleep with a bed net
• treat your clothes with a repellent
• screened our houses
• keep covered in the day
• use an effective repellent
• use an insecticide in the rooms
• remove mosquito brending sites

Dengue is very real nuisance but rarely leaves any lasting problems, and climate change is causing higher average temperatures in most places, and affect common patterns of dry and wet periods.

Pollution

There are many kind of pollutions such as air pollution, water pollution and even sound pollution.

People say pollution is the product of civilization, and today pollution has became public enemy number one, pollution is very serious problem in the world, it seems our living quality is getting down every day, it hurts every one`s healt and the environment, that`s why environment
organization recomended the environment protection bureau to higher level.

It is everybody`s responsibility to protect their health and environment from being polluted.

Typical of Earthquakes

Huge effect of powerful earthquake hits, in the city or in the village are destruction of building and public infrastructure, thats why to reduce the risk we should know where is our position when an earthquake happens.

If on the beach there is possibility that a tsunami may occur and if on the hill or mountain there is possibility landslide may occur.

Earthquake could generate a tsunami if its occurs beneath the sea, not only batters coastal areas but can reach saveral kilometres inland.

Seismologist detected there are 3 types of earthquake.

• Volcanic earthquake despite by volcanic activity causing tectonic plates to move
• Tectonic earthquake despite by movements of tectonic plates, with a sudden elastic rebound of energy
• Induced earthquake despite by the release of energzy from other sources such as usage of explosives

The large segments of the earth' crusts are tectonic plates, violent displacement can happens of the eart's crust, during friction the boundaries of the plates exceeds a certain level.

Seismologist use the richter scale to measure the magnitude of an earthquake and to show the intensity they use the mercalli scale and the tools used to measure is called seismografh.

Earthquakes have claimed a lots of victims in the world.

Adapting to climate change

Since a decade environment communities has recognized that climate change will lead to an increase in the frequency and intensity of nature disasters in the future, needs a universal method to respond and continue its effort to help vurnerable people on how to adapt with the situation and to reduce the risk.

Climate change created more extreme weather and more disasters world wide, millions of people on the earth are suffering from the consequences, this fenomena dispite of global warming as a result of the accumulation of solar radiation trapped within the earth`s atmosphere.

The radiation emitted by the sun, reflected by the surface of the earth is blocked and absorbed by the atmospheric gases and that is what is called the greenhouse effect.

Its gases are associated with fossil fuel burning, usage of electronic devices, deforestation, forest fire and ilegal logging.

Beside carbon dioxide the temperature increase is also causing the melting of glaciers and ice caps, since 1960 almost 10 percent ice covering the earth has decreased.

Expert of environment have predicted that snow would blanket the himalayas will melt in 2100 and the sea level will rise, current 100 years there had been a sea level rise of 10-25 centimetres and an estimate 2000 island in indonesia will sink by 2030.

The effect of this fenomena are very real and have been scientifically analyzed and many unpredictable disasters will come in the future, needs awarenes from the nations to keep our earth.
