Global Warming
« on: April 23, 2012, 02:38:15 PM »
Climate change is changing our economy, health and communities in diverse ways. Scientists warn that if we do not aggressively curb climate change now, the results will likely be disastrous. Carbon dioxide and other global warming pollutants are collecting in the atmosphere like a thickening blanket, trapping the sun's heat and causing the planet to warm up.
The United States Global Change Research Program (which includes the Department of Defense, NASA, National Science Foundation and other government agencies) has said that "global warming is unequivocal and primarily human-induced" and that "climate changes are underway in the United States and are projected to grow."
Climate change is a complex phenomenon, and its full-scale impacts are hard to predict far in advance. But each year scientists learn more about how climate change is affecting the planet and our communities, and most agree that certain consequences are likely to occur if current trends continue.
In addition to impacting our water resources, energy supply, transportation, agriculture, and ecosystems, the United States Global Change Research Program concludes that climate change also poses unique challenges to human health, such as:

•   Significant increases in the risk of illness and death related to extreme heat and heat waves are very likely.
•   Some diseases transmitted by food, water, and insects are likely to increase.
•   Certain groups, including children, the elderly, and the poor, are most vulnerable to a range of climate-related health effects.
These impacts will result in significant costs to our families and the economy.
Solutions:
Here's the good news: technologies exist today to make cars that run cleaner and burn less gas, modernize power plants and generate electricity from nonpolluting sources, and cut our electricity use through energy efficiency. The challenge is to be sure these solutions are put to use.
Step 1: Set limits on global warming pollution
Step 2: Invest in green jobs and clean energy
Step 3: Drive smarter cars
Step 4: Create green homes and buildings
Step 5: Build better communities and transportation

Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and scientists are more than 90% certain that it is primarily caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases produced by human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.

Favorable climate is essential for any life. Global Warming is a threat for climate. So, the people of the world should be aware of this matter.

To sustain life in this planet , one social and ecological framework is used for sustainability. This framework is called Earth Stewardship. Some students of Software Engineering Department and me are working to create a computer based snake ladder game to focus environmental problems and solutions. In this game, implicitly, the students can learn about up and down in life or about importance of sustainability and troubles. Ladders represent “the up in life and ways of sustainability”, while the existence of the snakes represent “the down in life or trouble for unsustainable life”. Soon this game will be implemented in Daffodil International School. Hope This game might help students to learn about Earth Stewardship.
