Global Warming — The Research Challenges. Modern Climate Change Science. The population is expanding and the shortage of food and drain of natural resources result in the limits to the growth of the human society. All these conditions together corroborate to bring a severe crisis to human beings in near future.
If the earth would be meeting warming in near future as predicted by IPCC, then the crisis would be mild. However, it is not the case. The atmospheric temperature of the earth will surely become cold, because most of major controlling factors of the atmospheric temperature, i. The effect of carbon dioxide gas only cannot be too much evaluated. The effort of decreasing carbon dioxide gas is important in the sustainability of our limited resources, however, we have to seriously consider the measures for the approaching crisis of global cooling and the limits to growth.

The affects of the climate change can observed around the world, however the poor, marginalized people of the poor world are adversely suffering.

The developed and industrialized countries those are liable and responsible for climate change should honest, accountable to address the impacts also. The impacts of the climate change are observed elsewhere. Occurring of drought, flood and unpredictable rain fall patterns have adversely influenced on biodiversity, plants' habitats and habits including agricultural activities in local level. Numbers of evidences are noted as the impacts of climate change in local level, such as: These have big implications to the livelihood system of the local communities especially poor and marginalized groups.
Resulted is that women and children under poor, marginalized group are more vulnerable and in risk conditions. The situation is being worst and unpredictable. Every year hundreds of people are suffering, due to the exposure of vector-borne diseases like; as malaria, diarrhea, cholera and hunger.
Likewise thousands of people are displaced as the flood and landslide victims in the country. The negotiations process of the climate change is still uncertain and unpredictable. To address and response of current vulnerabilities therefore, has become an urgent need. I think livelihood of the poor vulnerable communities should be a center theme for making strategies and measures to cope the impacts of climate change as they are likely to become more prevalent.
Communities are trying to response to address the threats of climate change in local level based on practical experiences and knowledge. But these initiations are not adequate to address the magnitude of climate change threats. Therefore need base technology is an important to minimize the effects of the climate change and to develop the appropriate technology and capacity enhancement of the people are also crucial issues to address the results and impacts of the climate change.
On this context, the developed nations who are more responsible to debasing the climate should pay more attention and priority on livelihood of the poor people of the poor world during the of climate change talk. In developing Asia alone, according to an estimate last year by the International Energy Agency, million people have yet to be linked to a power source. No wonder the United Nations' meeting on climate change next month in Copenhagen will issue a non-binding that is, meaningless agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while postponing more serious action for another year.
No wonder an international agreement to radically reduce total carbon output on a schedule demanded by green activists faces insurmountable odds. You will hear endlessly in coming weeks that the U. So long as the U.
And the Senate isn't even going to take up climate legislation until next year. But even if Congress could pass a strict climate bill, which is doubtful, many countries are in no position to ratchet down their greenhouse emissions anytime soon, whatever they say in public. How could they, with billions of people still knocking on modernity's door? And don't forget population growth, which will add at least 2. Won't they demand electricity, too? It's simply inconceivable that their governments will rule out the use of fossil fuels to supply them with it.
Henry Sparks, Montrose,CO I miss good old global warming.
That was something you could really sink your teeth into. This whole climate change moniker is boring and indecisive. Lord Puttnam is a tool for bringing the kids into the middle of this. Please leave the children alone. Jim Heath, Atlanta, Ga. Frankly; if you want to actually solve the problem; don't have quite so many "future generations!! This kind of article haunts me. Recently I had a recurring dream of several families eating in an expensive restaurant. The meal drags on as the adults repeatedly order more and more courses and the children get terribly impatient.
The dream ends when the adults announce to the children's shock and disbelief that the enormous bill is for them. They won't be singing the praises of "my generation". Brian Bennet, Burlington Ontario Canada. I will not believe these theories until there is a substantial debate amongst the many scientists who deny these statements. Why has there been no such debate? What are the politicians afraid of? There is absolutely too much money involved, and there is no longer any trust in the political administrations; too much greed and graft over the years, which is really what the problem has been.
Government has been at fault and now they want the taxpayers to fix it I say it's all baloney. Climate change will ensure that millions of people, men women and children around the globe will die. Food and water shortages will lead to more wars and conflicts which will exacerbate matters. The frustrating thing is that the science has been known and people have refused to listen. I do all I can, but most people won't even share a car to work in the morning, let alone get on a bus, never mind walk.
I hope they will remember it is their fault when the bad weather really starts hitting. Along with the MWP there are several other warming periods in 'civilized' history. The Roman Warming Period being another. During these warming times across the world it has been seen as a great period of growth, development of many ancient societies and improvements of science, health, and longevity have all happened during periods of warming. During periods like the Maunder Minimum and the Dalton winters we have seen a regression in society, an increase in fossil fuels being used and a decrease in the standard of living.
Even as recent as the 's the same world group think that we are seeing with the CWP worries stated the world was cooling. With is a similar list to what you presented above: Historically, warming periods are advantageous periods of time. Cooling periods are periods that lineate the ending of civilizations, including the Aztecs, Romans and even our 'Euro-centric' society during the 'Little Ice Age.
I submit that your worries are not going to come to affect as you present them based on history. That warming is good for human civilization as it always has been in the past. And that benefit will help out the children and the poor civilizations more then the rest of us. Josh, Washington State, US. I think that sometimes, the world's continuing failure to act on climate change simply feels like too much to stand, and as a result we end up simply spinning our wheels out of frustration. I feel like that might be what Lord Puttnam is doing, here.
Attempts to frame climate change in terms of human rights or its impact on the ability of children to reach their full potential in the future are technically sound--but they should be entirely beside the point. All things being equal, it should be obvious that we ought to avoid the prospect of destabilizing climate patterns and risking rising sea levels, awful heat waves, dust bowls, etc.. Yet the denials, the inertia, the finger-pointing have all combined to make this simple conclusion, let alone a course of action to do something about it, seemingly more elusive than middle east peace.
Thus we have the spectacle of reasonable, intelligent people going to greater and greater lengths in an attempt to explain why sleepwalking into global environmental catastrophe will be a bad thing. You almost have to laugh--or else scream. Why do not follow more practical approach and instead punishing the developing countries and spending billions cutting CO2 we do not spend more money for helping the world adapt to climate change and develop furher? And to help all dying childrens now not is some future? CO2 cutting approach does not make any sense from economic analysis point of view.
You just put money down the drain. I am fine with more ecological measures including new none-Co2 polluting technologies, but this should be part of concious policy plan, not some PC comunist based slogans like "Lets fight climate change". Lets fight human stupiduty I will say. Without Haste, we must do all we can do now.
I do not agree with Lord Puttnam at all. What will prevent children from obtaining success and a healthy life is to stop listening to bureaucrats, be educated, be less dependent upon government and high-tax environmental policies that do nothing to curb pollution, and actually be free to pursue their dreams with love and support from family, not government, especially the UN. Mike Hatrock, Edmonton, Canada. This has to be the biggest scam ever pulled on mankind. I do not agree with Lord Puttnam. If I said a thousand times no, would it make a difference?
How about, "it's not the weather, stupid? Get rid of the smoke, so you can look in the mirror? Is that what the environmental movement is all about? Seems so to me.

Such concern over future generations belies the fact that so little has been done for the children of today. A third of the population of the Earth has no access to electricity, which does more to harm future generations than any worries about dubious claims of anthropogenic global warming. Massive amounts of research and other monies already spent on this hoax that promotes poverty would have been better employed to provide real help to the diseased and starving in the Third World.
Carbon trading and other promotional schemes will do nothing to stop the natural warming trend, but will definitely further restrict power access and the wealth it generates to the poor countries of the world. At the same time, these plans will continue to empower the world's elite at the expense of the poor in all countries. The hoax of global warming has captured the attention of the gullible news media, who now serve as minions to the huxters. Global warming controls will not save the planet and provide a better future for the children. The will set in stone a future of poverty, despair, disease and death.
