accumulate Since then the instructions how devastating the impact that climate warming. In Switzerland, every year tens of thousands of children and adults are chronically ill, new - like the air pollution victims.
But our politicians have nothing better to do than the smoking ban on top of the agenda to share.
Wunderlich, strange.

Warmer seas - violent storms

Even before Katrina, the suspicion has been expressed: the higher surface temperature of the oceans, a result of global warming is responsible for the increasing violence of the Stürme.Forscher the Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT) have the appearance and examined the intensity of hurricanes 1970-2004. During this period, the number of severe storms has nearly doubled. After the exclusion of other factors, they came to the conclusion that only the warming of the oceans may have led to this trend:

About this increase had reported researchers led by Peter Webster of Git in the past year. Webster is now one of the authors of the new study, published yesterday in the online edition of the magazine "Science". Using statistical models, researchers have investigated factors that favor the development of severe storms such as Hurricane Katrina.
These include differences in wind speed and direction at different heights and the humidity in the lower atmosphere. Even wind conditions that allow the air vortex created more easily, contributing to more severe storms. "It is in these factors, however, no global trend over these 35 years," Hoyos is quoted in a release of Git. They caused only short-term variations and do not contribute to long-term increase in storm intensities, the scientists say.

commentary Marianne Weno: You are the air!

You are the air ...
03/15/2006
a matter of opinion by Marianne Weno

energy saving is again being discussed. The Minister remarked recently, if we dispense with all stand-by circuits, we could shut down two nuclear power plants. Yes, if ... Most of us do without
just, not even the most superfluous of things. Not on the spritsaufenden SUV, not to the annual air travel halfway around the world, not to sit in the winter on heated terraces. They suppress what they know about climate change, although the effects are getting closer. Reasons are the wrong signals out of politics. Energy systems - pre-thought out and forgotten.

appeared before a quarter-century, the book energy systems designed from the Freiburg Institute for Applied Ecology, in which the authors of scenarios for improved energy efficiency and alternative energy supplies. At that time, 1980, it was mainly about the dependencies to end of oil and nuclear. For the first time the word appeared on the energy saving as the most abundant energy source. Published in 1995, Ernst Ulrich von Weizsacker and two American co-authors factor of four, the more detail described how only through greater energy efficiency, "Doubling Wealth, Halving Resource Use in" would be possible. That all seemed just as convincing as utopian. If what was practically possible, can prevail politically? While in the renewable energy very slowly something is on the move, was the "energy efficiency" largely stuck in their approaches. Although the industry has done much for cost reasons, to reduce their energy consumption, but as expected, the fundamental structural changes in the land of the resistance of the energy industry have failed. Smaller, decentralized power plants fitted with combined heat and power, nor as to the concept of energy conservation in general. Also red-green was pretty powerless.

The logic of repression

Saving energy is not only technology, but also psychology. Without the willingness of citizens to their power to do something for the climate, we will not achieve our savings targets. As long as there is not as embarrassing to drive four-wheel drive to the mailbox and energy waste in general is not proscribed, are also the local governments do not be dissuaded from senseless projects. What answers today someone you ask if he wants to remove part of his Christmas lights? "Then you see a look in the city around." When asked if he could reduce your heating by one degree, it is perhaps reminiscent of the tropical park in the Cargo Lifter-Halle, which is heated to any heat protection regulation in the summer and winter in tropical temperature.

we would be unhappy without ice houses and artificial snow? Remained unfulfilled life dreams if we could not even fast and super cheap to fly to London? Now and then we read in the newspaper, how long it will take to dry up until the Gulf Stream, or what it means when the glaciers disappear. But no one asks us to draw conclusions. We see hurricanes and floods on TV, but we accept a relationship with our behavior? No doubt we have for other scapegoats. Enlightenment is not allowed and is also difficult. We should not make us consume too much.

let up today, politicians like to take pictures at car shows in the biggest slide. The media willingly follow this line. Thus, critical environmental programs on television, as was the globe long set. Nowhere is it appeals to stop the worst waste. The policy speaks of the binding energy save as "sustainability". How about a campaign: "YOU ARE THE AIR?

Now available at the South Pole: The rapid melting of ice - For Africa dries

Antarctica melts, Africa dries: Two new scientific studies on climate change are predicting a massive melting process at the icy South Pole and warn of severe water shortages in the third-largest continent on earth.
Antarctica melts: Contrary to expectation, the ice is shrinking at the South Pole by climate change, to grow instead. Since 2002, the Antarctic has to measurements by U.S. researchers annually lost up to 152 cubic kilometers of ice - the equivalent to 50 times the water consumption of the ten-million-metropolis of Los Angeles.
The UN IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) in 2001 had just predicted the opposite: According to his forecast, the Antarctic ice shelves in the wake of global warming in the 21st Century to grow because of climate change there also increasing rainfall is expected. The massive melting process takes place mainly at the ice sheet in West Antarctica, Isabella Velicogna and John True Report of the University of California in Pasadena on the basis of satellite measurements. Every year he had raised sea levels globally by about 0.4 millimeter, they write in the journal Science (DOI: 10.1126/science.1123785). But this western ice sheet would thus the sea level by about seven meters, lift it if it were to melt all over again. Even worse would be the Erosion of the ice sheet in East Antarctica: it is eight times larger than the western.

This is the result of a study. Weils halt grad so nice to be a car salon with the ever-increasing boxes passt.Wie in this forum has already written more often, will the climate change with us due to the slowdown of the Gulf Stream in increasing external cooling. But who now says he would end up with walk out to the south, has cut herself. By rising sea levels of living space in Italy is considerably reduced, and even further south is as follows:

Africa however, threatened with a unchecked emissions of greenhouse gases a dry future. By the end of the century a quarter of the continent is likely to be haunted, according to a study of South African researchers from severe water shortage. The also of "Science" (DOI: 10.1126/science.1119929) study published estimates are that many rivers and lakes dry up for lack of sufficient rainfall. Worst hit were densely populated areas in the south and west of the continent and regions on the upper reaches of the Nile.
For the calculations, the researchers linked to Maarten de Wit and Jacek Stankiewicz of the University of Cape Town data on Africa's rivers and lakes with different climate change scenarios. You divided the continent in to a grid of 37 squares, for which the annual rainfall were examined separately. Scientists warn to the fact that politicians in countries with transboundary waters in the future more than ever need to regulate access to the precious liquid.

Merry prospects.

The bad news is growing, but still lacks very many of our fellow citizens to realize that it can not go on as before. It is itself the question: Does driving blind or stupid? Or both?
