On climate change, often ditemu temperature and humidity changes suddenly and the body 'forced' to be extra hard to adapt to these changes, KADA So when the immune system causes a small decrease.
In addition, climate change also mempegaruhi environmental conditions and water quality. Dust and dirt in the dry air can be carriers of disease. Water quality can also be reduced, for example, the water becomes more turbid water by the summer or become more easily contaminated by pollutants in the rainy season. This caused the disease more easily developed than the unstable weather conditions. These changes can affect the physical condition of the little guy, even bias causes decreased immunity.

Global Warming
Earth's average temperature is generally not very stable, but varies with time, as has been proved by analysis of geological layers. Our planet is several tens of degrees colder at 20 000 years ago, the glaciers on the peak days of snow. This temperature change is actually very slow, the temperature change of 0.2 degrees from 1000 until the end of the 19th century.
The fact that the international community is worried about how quickly the temperature changes now, the pace of change has not been seen in the past. Since the end of the 19th century, about one hundred years alone, the average temperature has risen 0.6 degrees. Computer simulation shows that the warming will be faster and the average temperature could rise by 1.4 to 5.8 degrees by the end of the 21st century. This phenomenon we call global warming.
Greenhouse Effect
Atmospheric temperature variations are generally associated with several factors such as changes in activity of the Sun, or the speed of rotation of the Earth. However, most scientists believe that global warming is caused mainly by the greenhouse effect. This effect occurs when the bulk of the energy from the sun reaching the Earth kepermukaan not reflected back out into space, but diserapi by our atmosphere.
As we find, according to the Wien law, the nature of radiation from an object depends on its temperature. The sun have a surface temperature of 6000 degrees, glowing in the waves seemed terutamamya which is simply the energy in our atmosphere. However, due to Earth's temperature is much lower than the temperature of the Sun, the planet we draw out the energy in the form of infrared radiation. Gases such as carbon-dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, which is also transparent in the visible wavelength, is opaque in the infrared radiation. Their characteristics are preventing workers from out of the last keangkasa. They absorb the energy to make our atmosphere warm. Most of the solar energy is absorbed by the lower atmosphere, as happened on Venus.
It is probable that the greenhouse effect and global warming, which is accelerating since the 19th century, due to the impact of human activities on the environment. Most of the gas which has the characteristics of the greenhouse effect has been released into the atmosphere through the activities of the modern use of fossil fuels in industry and transport. It can also be caused by certain agricultural activities such as cattle. We expected that carbon-dioxide has increased by 30 percent since the beginning of industrial era, which is a major contribution to aggravate the greenhouse effect.

The effects of global warming
As has been pointed out, global warming causes glaciers to melt and sea levels rose by several tens of centimeters. The thickness of the ice at the poles also be less. Since the 21st century, this phenomenon is increasing more rapidly, where its effect seems more pronounced, especially the increase in sea levels and extreme weather changes involving precipitation cycles of drought and devastating.
This effect can be felt by people with frequent floods, drought, shortage of drinking water, the spread of malaria, lack of zones of the sea or the scarcity of the island. In the long run, the melting ice in Greenland, which causes sea level rise of 6 meters, we can predict the loss of most of the waterfront zone of the world.
Faced with the threat and the need to address the problem, the international community found to be quite shy. The Kyoto Protocol was negotiated in 1997, seeks to force industrial countries to take the steps necessary to reduce air pollution which aggravate the greenhouse effect. The result of the decision of Russia to participate in this protocol, it will have the opportunity to bring results. However, without the participation of the United States, which is presently the world's largest air pollutants, the results of this protocol usahan somewhat limited. Because of this agreement is not so ambitious, we believe it is not able to effectively slow down global warming. Therefore, the terrible disaster that is threatening.

GLOBAL WARMING - "EARTH'LL HEAT!"
Recent analysis shows overall thinning from Central Lake Artik.Didapati highest depletion rates are in the Eastern region Artik.Berdasarkan SCIEX data collected by the National Science Foundation (Office of Naval Research), and NASA is not just a thinning of ice in 90 ' only, but it is continuing until now with the rate of depletion of 4 inches (0.1 m) per year.
A lot of ice mass loss given the dramatic effects of global climate change. Snow and ice cool the earth by reflecting up to 80% of energy from the sun directly into space.
Based on research done by the UNEP (United Nation Environment Program), they claimed that the ice in the polar (Arctic) will be thinned up to 60% if the percentage of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere increases two times from now. It is expected to occur by the year 2050 if no action or steps taken by the parties responsible for the ongoing mengcegahnya.
In Alaska, Western Canada and Eastern Russia average winter temperatures rose by 4-7 ° F (3-4 ° C) in the last fifty years, and this number is expected to increase sehigga 7-13 ° F (4 - 7 ° C) before the next 100 years.
By the end of this century is expected that the Arctic sea ice will decrease by 50% by panas.Isipadu season on melting ice in Greenland could increase global sea levels as high as seven meter.Ais available in Alaska melting twice as fast in the past ten years . This causes an increase in global sea level of 9%.
On the Greenland ice sheet thinning Arctic sea close to a meter per year.
Antarctica
Introduction
Antarctica is situated in the south of Australia at latitude 60 ° S. This region consists of 7 million cubic miles of ice square represents 90% of the ice on earth. Aisnya average thickness is 2164m with 4785m of the most dense.
Antarctica is an area the size of the United States and Mexico combined. It represents 70% of the world's fresh water. If the western part of the liquid, global sea level could rise as high as 15-20 feet. While sea levels will rise if the eastern 200 feet of liquid.
Withdrawal of Ice in Antarctica
Figure Antarctica
Through the observation by some scientists, found the block of ice clouds are formed from Larsen 'ice shelf' on the peninsula of Antarctica and the melting of ice occurred on a large scale in the northern part of 'ice shelf'. Based on reports by the British Antartic Survey (BAS), the temperature in the Antarctic Peninsula rose by 0.5 ° C per decade since 1947.
Evidence of ice thinning can be found in some lakes in Antarctica. These lakes are very sensitive and suitable as a guide short-term temperature changes. New Zealand scientists reported a water level of Lake Vanda in Wright Valley, an increase of 1 meter per year. This increase is related to the melting of ice into the lake through which the Onyx River has increased the volume more than doubled since the last decade. Other studies on six other lakes in Antarctica showed thinning of the ice on the surface to 40% over the last decade.
In addition, based on measurements made at sea between 1973 and 1988 showed a decrease in the projected area of sea ice in the winter up to 33 km. BAS scientists at Faraday Station, Galindez Island reported a 1m thick ice disappeared between 1973-1988.
In 1986, 11 000 km2 of the Larsen ice shelf, and 11 500 km2 of ice shelf broke Filcher and drifted into the Weddell Sea. At the same time about breaking Theraites 1000km2 iceberg. The total loss of ice is four times more than the accumulated snow per year.
In 1991, BAS has produced satellite images showing the rapid breakdown of the Wordie ice shelf, and they have suggested that high temperatures in the Antarctic Peninsula as a source. More than 1300 km2 Wordie ice shelf disappeared since 1966.
Pieces of ice along the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula are very sensitive to temperature changes even small changes occur. Other evidence indicates breakdown of ice sheets have been issued as early as 1992, through images taken within the past few years BAS reported a reduction in the snow piles Stonington Island, while the comparison of satellite images on the coast of Antarctica shows a very clear change in the volume of ice in the coastal area said.
In early 1993, BAS reflect an increase in the formation of lumps of ice, but said that there was evidence of inappropriate links with global warming. Added iceberg was confirmed later in 1993 from data collected by ship across the ocean south and also collected by the Norwegian Polar Research Institute. Although this study has questioned the accuracy. The institute suggests that this ice sheet breakdown occurs more rapidly than expected.
In February 1995, a giant-sized iceberg Luxembourg (2600km square and over 77km) split from the Antarctic Peninsula, continuing research reveals the ice that connects the mainland to the island of James Ross had lost the northern Larsen Ice-Shelf. According ABAS provides stronger evidence of iceberg split due to the increase suhu.Glaciologist, Dr David Vaughan said "There is no doubt That the climate on the Antarctic Peninsula has warmed significantly over the past few challenged. What we are seeing now are changes only just working through to glaciers and ice sheets.

World leaders signed the strategic plan of global warming effects
THE list of agendas and priorities of many world leaders in 2007, the issue of climate change and global warming are among the most important. Said Daniel Franklin, author of The World in 2007, an annual special issue of The Economist magazine famous. Issues that require new strategies and plans, not only in the energy and water resources, even in all dimensions of life are increasingly at risk and threatened.
In a press release in Paris on 2 February, the group working on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which comprises more than 600 authors from 40 countries announced the publication of the first volume of a special report for policy makers, entitled Climate Change 2007.
The first volume covers the basic science on the causes of climate change, evidence of climate change is detected, the scientific methods used to assess the diversity of the causes and predictions of future climate change.
Reports said the content of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide increased significantly due to various human activities since 1.750. Content was 30 times higher than the era before the Industrial Revolution, atmospheric records for 650,000 years.
The increase in carbon dioxide caused by fossil fuel use and land-use changes, especially the destruction of forests, while methane and nitrous oxide due to unsustainable farming methods.
According to the NASA report, melting of ice at the poles when it stood at nine percent per decade. The thickness of Arctic ice at the poles down 40 percent since the 1960s. The IPCC report also states that the incidence of category 4 and 5 hurricanes has doubled in the past 30 years. Meanwhile, the usual flood predicted to occur every 100 years would be more likely to occur between 10 and 20 years, including in areas not included in the list of flood risk.
The IPCC forecasts that global warming trend and the impact of this climate of uncertainty is expected to increase further. Over the last century, the earth's surface temperature increased 0.6 ° C. However, much scientific evidence shows that in this century, global temperature will rise 1.4 to 5.8 ° C. Temperature increase is expected to affect human life, including sea level rise of between nine and 88 centimeters (CM) which endanger coastal areas and small islands.
What to do in the situation now? In my opinion, we need to do three strategic steps as soon as possible.
First: Environmental education is more comprehensive. In this regard, I welcome the steps the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation hold a seminar on climate change in Kuala Lumpur, May. Such measures are necessary because there are many in this country do not understand the issue of climate change, including policy makers and professionals.
Perhaps that is why the issue of climate change is not directly into the premises and concerns in the formulation of national development strategies such as the Ninth Malaysia Plan (RMK-9) and the 2007 Budget.
For example, the RMK-9 reports the phrase 'climate change' is cornered in chapter 22 of article 19 of the 'initiatives' on page 485. That only explains about Malaysia's involvement in the IPCC. While the clean development mechanism or CDM, which is one of the methods of reducing carbon emissions into the atmosphere described in the final of the energy sector, in chapter 19, article 46 on page 430.
Reading the official documents about the planning of development in recent years in fact intimidate me, because climate change is far cornered, just as the rider in front of hundreds of fourth!
However, I am grateful to the floods in Johor last month opened the eyes of many parties to be more aware that climate change is not rhetoric professor and environmentalist. The issue becomes one of the most important agenda of the moment, including among the leading corporate figures and leaders of developed countries.
Second: I propose a design for the main sectors that are directly related to climate change such as energy, transport, agriculture, industry and environmental conservation are reviewed from the perspective of a more proactive role to reduce carbon emissions.
In a sense, as developing countries, we can get for free costs through the CDM mechanism. I also think that:
- Linkages between sectors are not clearly related to energy and climate policy. On the one hand we provide biodiesel to Europe, but we did not try to use it extensively.
- Renewable energy sector (renewable energy) should be given more incentives to grow.
- Emission of carbon from the transport sector strategy should begin with more planned.
- All reports and policy development needs to be processed again by taking into account the effects of climate change.
- All ag
encies must have specific targets to address climate change issues.
Third: The implementation of large development projects approved should be examined more holistically, particularly involving changes in climate and weather cycles such as water supply, irrigation, drainage, forestry, fisheries, agriculture and tourism. The project is risky and may not achieve its goals if a new climate cycle is not taken into consideration.
For example, what is the use we menggondolkan forest to build a dam if the dam is finally unable to hold water for use during the dry season. That is why - in this column many times I mentioned the fact that many developed countries no longer build dams upstream, but instead of water reservoirs in the river or the estuary is through projects like the Marina Barrage in Singapore.
As a result, lower-cost, sure enough water, reduced pollution as all the responsibility to conserve water in the river and the effects of climate change can be reduced through forest conservation.

DEFROST ICE in the Arctic - EFFECT TO LAND AND PEOPLE
Recently the newspapers diipaparkan iceberg image size of 500 meters long and 50 meters high floating in the ocean. Block of ice separated from the mainland. What really happened?
The main factor is global warming causing melting iceberg itu.Sekumpulan expert researchers explore the North Pole (Arctic) to do research is really worried by the phenomenon. The expedition, led by researchers Pen Hadow with his friends Martin Hartley and Ann Daniels predicted that most likely will not be covered the northern polar ice in tempon a decade. Even if the scenario 'iceberg floating' occurred, aia will certainly trigger a new phenomenon when the Arctic sea turned into a no-block arrangement of block ice. Thinning ice occurred rapidly.
This phenomenon is not new. It has been voiced by researchers many years ago when humans no longer ignore the screams and agony of this planet earth to begin to respond, especially when the global warming since the beginning of the 1940s. The issue of global climate change is a threat to life on earth. If not handled properly, then life on earth will be confronted with natural disasters are difficult to predict.
These symptoms have actually seen. Among them, record temperatures in the Arctic has reached up to four degrees Celsius above normal levels between October and December 2008. It never happened before. Summer ice cover in the Arctic this year is the third smallest according to reports over the years around 1979-2006 and is now shrinking Arctic sea about 11.2 per cent in each decade. The actual amount of ice cover has been progressively depleted in less than a year. In 2008 recorded a loss of Arctic ice in the percentage of the number nine, a sharp decline compared to 2007 (21%) are said to be the year when the most drastic melting Arctic. Imagine what remains when the surface ice in the Arctic lower from year to year. The old ice in the Arctic only a 19 per cent compared to the years between 1981 and 2000 in which its existence is still living as much as 52 percent before the ice thickness has declined to 0.68 meters between 2004 and 2008.
This is really worrying.
The Arctic Ocean is a key position in the earth's climate system, and whether consciously or not block-the block of ice melting is now also giving a negative response to the climate of the earth and its effect is much more than the Arctic alone. The minimum ice cover in the Arctic this year is just 4.13 million square kilometers compared to last year. These changes eventually will clearly affect the people who have traditionally lived in the Arctic.
Certainly crossed our minds and how the fate of the world's population if the ice in the Arctic and Antarctica melt and disappear from view. At that time, the world may have to bid farewell to the affected countries such as Bangladesh, northern Europe, part of Siberia, the Amazon, mainland China and includes some of the landmass in the southeastern United States. Scary!
So governments around the world must unite to establish a committee to formulate policies from 2013 on measures to address global climate change since the first phase, known as the Kyoto Protocol will expire in December 2012. World leaders need to get approval from all 191 countries on a new agreement which will be held at the Summit of the United Nations (UN) in Copanhagen, Denmark in December 2009. The new policy will create a joint venture around the world to work together to take any steps to address this issue. We and all mankind on this earth to play their role even though little pests to ensure the world does not continue to sink. We willing to?

The minimum ice cover in the Arctic this year is just 4.13 million square kilometers compared to last year. These changes eventually will clearly affect the people who have traditionally lived in the Arctic.
Certainly crossed our minds and how the fate of the world's population if the ice in the Arctic and Antarctica melt and disappear from view. At that time, the world may have to bid farewell to the affected countries such as Bangladesh, northern Europe, part of Siberia, the Amazon, mainland China and includes some of the landmass in the southeastern United States. Scary!
So governments around the world must unite to establish a committee to formulate policies from 2013 on measures to address global climate change since the first phase, known as the Kyoto Protocol will expire in December 2012. World leaders need to get approval from all 191 countries on a new agreement which will be held at the Summit of the United Nations (UN) in Copanhagen, Denmark in December 2009. The new policy will create a joint venture around the world to work together to take any steps to address this issue. We and all mankind on this earth to play their role even though little pests to ensure the world does not continue to sink. We willing to?

Addressing Global Warming
At least 192 countries began negotiations in the UN Summit on Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, which lasted throughout the 7 to 18 December 2009. At the 15th meeting (COP) of the UN Climate Change Conference (UNCCC), they will negotiate to reach a new agreement to replace the Kyoto Protocol scheme which will last until 2012 (Kompas, 7/12/2009).
The meeting, involving heads of state, scientists, intellectuals, and environmentalists, at least be a strategic step for the creation of a new agreement within the framework of international cooperation to overcome the problem of global warming (global warming), the issue of climate change, deforestation, environmental pollution, and greenhouse effect. Global issues that color the modern humanitarian problems today, demanding all parties to work together in addressing climate change is happening all over the world.
Not surprisingly, when the Executive Secretary of UN Climate Change (UNFCCC), Yvo de Boer, the delegation stressed the importance of all countries to demonstrate the spirit of cooperation and compromise in order to produce a new agreement, which affects the safety of billions of people in the world. In short, the issue of global warming that became the main agenda in the talks should be a jump start to pressure and flow rate of rise of temperature of the weather. Thus, no impact on the food crisis, water, damage to ecosystems, extreme weather, and the threat of major disaster that will hit millions of people.
Threat of Extinction
At this point, the Living Planet Report 2006, from the World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF) says, that the planet's natural ecosystems are now degraded, because the nadir reached an alarming point. Degradation of tropical forests in Indonesia were already moving fast, so in conditions of collapse.
In fact, forests in Indonesia has a wealth of natural resources is remarkable, even we also have a varied biodiversity in all its beauty. Nothing wrong, if Indonesia is located in the middle of the equatorial emerald called the lungs of the world, which is a strategic place and potential of this natural wealth.
In fact, from the data I get, mentioned that the number of people who need land, water and air on earth to live in 1991 had amounted to 5.2 billion. Residents on the planet in 1998 amounted to 6.8 billion. In 2000 ballooned to 7 billion. If population growth is maintained as it is now, then according to Paul R Enhirch, 900 years from now (year 2900) there will be one biliun (eighteen zeros behind the 1) person on this planet, or 1700 people per square meter. If that number continued until in 2000 or 3000 years later, the mean number of people living on this planet already exceeded the weight of the earth itself.
Moreover, if the target of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 40 percent for rich countries (Annex I) in 2020 can not be done, then the result will accelerate the melting of ice at the poles. That is why, the Indonesian delegation took four important agenda, namely reducing emissions for deforestation and forest deregulation (REDD), marine issues, the acceleration of technology transfer for climate change mitigation and adaptation, and technology to anticipate climate change.
According to Philip Kris (2004), in Industrial Ecology, there are several reasons emerge global warming, climate change and the environment, so that the ESD Conference on the Environment held first time in Stockholm.
First, we can see in 1953, in Japan, there has been a terrible catastrophe that befell most of the fishermen and their families in the vicinity of Minamata Bay are the main food is fish. In these areas there have been outbreaks of neurological disease called Minamata. In patients experiencing progressive muscle weakness, loss of vision until the cause of death. Apparently after the research, in 1959, the disease caused by methylmercury, which is waste containing mercury from various chemical industries owned by Chisso Co..
Second, in 1963 the United States (U.S.) issued the Law of Environment (National Environmental Policy Act, NEPA) in response to environmental damage by human activity increased, partly by environmental contamination by pesticides and industrial waste and transportation.
Third, the depletion of the ozone layer (O3) as the impact of greenhouse gases and increasing the temperature of the earth's surface due to thickening of the lining of CO2. That would threaten the health and safety of mankind, since ozone becomes a shield from the sun's rays are strong.
Ecological Intelligence
The continued development of the issue of global warming that occurred in various parts of the world, making the developed countries that have a lot of carbon dioxide emissions need to agree to cut its emissions. That is why, we need ecological intelligence in support of economic growth and sustainable development, without damaging the natural ecosystem and that we love.
In Ecology of The Encylopedia of Religion (1995), A Hultkrant stated that ecological intelligence applied in the framework of local wisdom (local wisdom) ecologically minded. This gave birth to his wisdom with the natural human attitude that preceded the modern ecology movement after World War II. With this framework, human consciousness will give birth to ecological intelligence in saving the universe from the threat of global warming and climate change.
Facing the threat of global warming in mind, we need to maintain essential ecological processes as part of the forest ecosystem balance between levels of population and environmental carrying capacity, prepare enough resources in an effort to increase the benefits derived from natural resources (forests), and the provision of social environment, culture, and economy as appropriate.
Therefore, we must remain committed to maintain and preserve the natural richness (environment) from the threat of humanitarian catastrophe. Above all else, is our awareness and concern for nature needs to be improved and developed in a sustainable manner, so as to create a life free from the wrath of nature, and ultimately the planet we live it can be restored to normal.

CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE
as a world health organization, WHO see so much climate change impacts on human health. For that is why the WHO initiative to raise the theme that in order to commemorate the 60th HKS in 2008.
WHO Representative to Indonesia, Mr. Sharad Adhikary explains why it is so important a concern for these issues are highly threatened due to the impact of health and human survival on this earth.
Basically, the Earth is always experiencing climate change from time to time. Only in the past such changes naturally take place while the current climate change is caused by human activity that is more rapid and drastic.
THEN WHAT CAUSE CLIMATE CHANGE?
In 2007 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change / IPCC) and Al Gore awarded Nobel Peace Prize. The award was obtained for their efforts to develop and disseminate knowledge about climate change caused by human activities as well as about the fundamental efforts to follow up these changes are not natural.
The results confirm that the IPCC assessment of global climate change occurs because the earth's atmosphere full of greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as carbon dioxide and methane, generated by humans. Carbon dioxide caused by fossil fuel combustion processes in order to produce energy and also due to forest fires. While methane gas caused by waste disposal activities.
GHG has the ability to capture infrared rays of sunlight reflected by the earth. Therefore, the greater the amount of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere, the earth would be getting hot. Levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reached 385 parts per million in 2006, a remarkable improvement when compared with data on climate change during the last 650,000 years, said Mr. Sharad.
Over the last 13 years, twelve years of which was recorded as the warmest years. With the continued accumulation of greenhouse gases such as today, in the next two to three decades will exceed the increase in global warming calculations have been wherewith. IPCC estimates that by 2050 global temperatures will rise 2-3 degrees Celsius.
Increasing the temperature will have an impact on:
- Widespread melting Arctic ice cap
- Increasing the temperature of sea water, resulting in rising sea
- The dry season will be more dry and wet season will be more
- Increased rainfall and flooding conditions
Overall it will affect human health both in terms of the increasing growth of disease-carrying animals such as mosquitoes, are also threats to the availability of clean water, food crisis, and cleanliness of the environment. Finally, the overall effect is to threaten human life, said Mr. Sharad.
For that very important to really understand climate change. Mr, Sharad asserted that required the readiness of all countries in the deal, to be able to adapt, and accept that going to happen the worse the effect, which is not anticipated.

sad to global warming
Sadly global warming causing iklim.human changes are hard to understand this ... .. even though they know the factors, measures should be done and its effects, but people still do not menyedari.apakah to do to stop doing things that will deplete the ozone? reduction in the use kloroflurokarbon (CFC). how? people should use sophisticated technology, such as creating no air-conditioning has been released CFC. what we should do to ensure that open burning of forests has occurred in the state Jakarta .mmm not say .... do not know ... can give your views on steps that can stop forest fires in the open, and that is a global awareness campaign pemasan impact on the battle is not responsible?

Cause of Global Warming
Global warming (global warming) is the phenomenon of global temperature increase due to the greenhouse effect (greenhouse effect) due to increased emissions of gases like carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), dinitrooksida (N2O) and CFC so that the solar energy trapped in the earth's atmosphere .
Various literature mentions that the increase in global temperature occurred in the range of 1.5? 40 Celsius by the end of the 21st century.
Global warming cause widespread and serious impacts to the bio-geophysical environment (such as melting polar ice caps, rising sea levels, expanding deserts, increasing rainfall and flooding, climate change, extinction of certain flora and fauna, migratory fauna and pest diseases, etc. .)
While the impact on the socio-economic activities of society. Among others: disruption of the function of coastal and beach cities. In addition, disruption of function of infrastructure and facilities such as roads, ports and airports. Also disruption of settlements, the reduction of agricultural productivity, to increased risk of cancer and disease. (various sources)

Overview of Global Warming, Effects And How To Prevent Global Warming World
We are all both know that global warming is happening. Melaporakn IPCC research that 0.15 to 0.3 o C. If the increase in temperature continues, estimated in 2040 (33 years from now) layer of ice at the poles of the earth will be depleted melt. And if the earth continues to heat up, in 2050 will be a shortage of fresh water, so that famine would be widespread throughout the universe.
The air will be very hot, millions of people fighting over food and water. Breathing the smoke and dust. The houses in coastal areas inundated by sea water. Sea water overflow more and more widespread, so that eventually swallow the whole island.Property will disappear, so does the human soul.
The study conducted scientist at the Center for Coastal and Marine Area Development, Bandung Institute of Technology (2007), was no less horrific.Apparently, the Gulf sea levels rise as high as 0.8 cm in Jakarta. If world temperatures continue to rise, it is predicted, in 2050 in Jakarta daera areas (such as: Kosambi, Penjaringan, and Cilincing) and Bekasi (such as: Muaragembong, Babelan, and Tarumajaya) will be submerged everything.
Well,,, we all already know it ... and some people still try to tell you that this incident actually was going on ... but still not a few people who still do not care. Maybe because we still feel comfortable with the situation now ... can menikamti everything from food, water, air, land sukup to play ball, which is still quite peaceful social, etc ...
Well ... it is ... then how about if 10 years from now, or 20 years, or up to 30 years. I know there will be no significant changes at this time because we all still consider this a normal thing, but I would be very foolish man if I do not keep trying to inform this.
So what can we do?
There are some easy ways that we can do, namely;
1. Turn off the electricity. (When not in use, do not leave electronic equipment on standby. Unplug the phone charger. Handsfree from the socket. Although not emit carbon electricity, PLN's power plants using fossil fuel emissions big contributor.)2. Replace light bulb (the type of CFL, according to electric power. Even though the price is somewhat expensive, this lamp is more efficient electricity and durable).3. Clean light (dust can reduce lighting levels up to 5%).4. If forced to use air conditioning (close doors and windows for air conditioning is on. Set the temperature is cool enough, about 21-24o C).5. Use a timer (to AC, microwave, oven, magic jar, etc.).6. Switch the engine waste heat air conditioner to operate a water-heater.7. Planting trees in your neighborhood.8. Drying clothes outside. The wind and the sun's heat better than using the machine (dryer) which emit lots of carbon.9. Use public transportation (to reduce air pollution).10. Efficient use of paper (raw materials derived from wood).11. Say no to plastic. Almost all plastic waste produces harmful gases when burned.Or you can also help collect them for recycling back.

Tackle global warming
If we are concerned and aware, 2005 was the hurricane season is very active. It is understood that a total of 26 storm events and 14 tornado events have occurred. For the first time, the violent hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma occurred in one season.Genesis is not only hurricanes hit the Continental United States, but also to attackChina, Korea, and the beaches around the North China Sea.
Last year was rumored to people in several countries in Africa are commonly knownas hot as the country has a vast desert region has seen snow in 25 years.
In Europe too, preached that many deaths occur due to extreme heat last July and inParis alone, as many as 29 people were killed. Although this incident is not as bad asthe heat took place in 2003, which caused about 15,000 died in France and 20,000have been killed in Italy.
A renowned journal reported that drought conditions and hot, dry forest fires havecaused the destruction of more than 8.5 million acres of the world and eliminate more than 1 million species living on land within 50 years. This incident has to do withglobal warming.
Actually, the issue of increasing the temperature or the heating occurs due to variousfactors. Apart from ozone depletion, the incidence of drought and haze, the heat island events and the greenhouse effect is also an encouragement to the issue ofglobal warming.
Livestock: Main Causes of Global Crisis
The only way to avoid the "point of no return" from climate catastrophe is to take actionagainst the main causes of disasters that damage - namely, the production of meat.Currently we have all the evidence, all the information to say so. Livestock industry is aproducer of top greenhouse gas.
The UN report published last year 2006 stating that the livestock industry producesmore greenhouse gas emissions than all transportation combined world-aircraft, trains,cars, motorcycles, etc., simultaneously. [ii]
Latest calculation tells us that the livestock industry is responsible for at least 50% ofglobal warming. [iii]
