IMPROVEMENT green house effect

atmospheric temperature changes are generally associated with several factors such as changes in activity of the Sun, or the pattern 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, malaah otmosfera earth system fails to function properly.

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.

global warming articles






Global warming or "global warming" has become the hottest issue in the newspapers, and often a topic of conversation antarabangsa.Pemanasan global community has been caused by several factors such as aktiiviti burning heat island, and the use of carbon monogsida and excessive carbon dioxide in the life our daily. What effects will happen if this is not checked? there are many effects that would arise if these things are not preventable.


Apparently, global warming is what is worrying us all. Due to past behavior and attitudes of developers hands of local people who burn rubbish in the forest, the gases are released into the air around and beyond the ozone layer. Did you know that carbon monoxide and menipisi to erode the ozone layer naturally. The ozone layer can be thinned up to 75 percent of the sunlight from penetrating the earth. If the erosion of the ozone layer, global warming will occur as a result widespread.


Without the filtered sunlight contains 30 percent of electromagnetic radiation that will kill the cells of human skin. If sunlight filtered by a layer without contact with the skin, tumor will form and will become cancer cells. This will cause the earth to many people who die of skin cancer. serious skin cancers and the cure is not found by scientists to this day.


Next, if global temperatures well above the 5.8 drjah Celsius, the ice in the north and south poles will start to melt it will bring negative impact on us all. As a result the average sea will rise to 95 percent, this means that many land areas that will ditengelami by water. Many of the world's population will die.


Global warming will initially cause the migraine headaches and excessive. Migraine is caused by overheating will occur and result in serious bleeding in the brain. Migraine is caused by the accumulation of contaminated blood in the brain and this will make the patient uncomfortable.


Heat island is also often associated with global warming. Heat island caused by asab-asab removed from car and factory fumes. This smoke contains carbon monoxide is high ground will deplete the ozone layer. Ole reason, meminimunkan we have emphasized the use of vehicles.


Kongklusinya, global warming is the phenomenon that haunted the international community. This is because of its impact on the world's population is very serious. therefore we as part of the inhabitants of this earth should take precautions kangkah before it becomes more serious. Do not let the rice has become porridge that we want to change. Do not want to have a new banging there is no point. Nay, while we still can do something about the world we want to bequeath to our children and grandchildren of this.

Cause of Global Warming On Earth

l fuels as energy sources, although in the calculation of energy use per person in developing countries, not as big as energy use per person in developed countries. According to Prof. Emil Salim, USA CO2/orang emit 20 tons per year with a population of 1.1 billion population, China emits 3 tons CO2/orang per year with a total 1.3 billion population, while India emits 1.2 tons CO2/orang with the number of 1 billion population.
Thus, the number of greenhouse gases discharged into the atmosphere from this sector related to lifestyle and population. USA is a country with a population that has a very extravagant lifestyle, the consumption of energy derived from fossil fuels, in contrast to a number of developing countries that emit greenhouse gases, because the accumulated number of population.
Rubbish. Trash produce methane (CH4). An estimated 1 ton of solid waste produces 50 kg of methane gas. Garbage is a major issue facing cities in Indonesia. According to the Ministry of Environment in 1995 the average person in urban areas in Indonesia generate waste of 0.8 kg / day and in 2000 continued to increase to 1 kg / day. On the other hand the population continues to increase, so, it is estimated, in 2020 the waste produced 500 million kg / day or 190 thousand tons / year. With this amount, the waste will emit methane gas amounted to 9500 tons / year. Thus, urban waste is a sector with huge potential, accelerate the process of global warming.
Damage to the forest. One of the functions of plants which absorb carbon dioxide (CO2), which is one of the greenhouse gases, and turn it into oxygen (O2). Currently in Indonesia are known to have occurred fairly severe damage to forests. The rate of forest destruction in Indonesia, according to data from Forest Watch Indonesia (2001), about 2.2 million / year. Forest damage caused by forest fires, land use changes, among others, changes in forests to plantations with a single crop on a large scale, such as oil palm plantations, as well as damages caused by the holders of forest concessions (HPH) and Forest Industrial Plant (HTI). With the damage as mentioned above, of course, carbon dioxide absorption process can not be optimal.This will speed up global warming.
According to data from the Rainbow Foundation, in 1990, emissions of CO2 released by the forestry sector, including changes in land use, reaching 64% of Indonesia's total CO2 emissions reached 748.61 kilotons. In 1994 there was an increase of carbon emissions to 74%.
Agriculture and animal husbandry. This sector contributed to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions through the flooded rice paddies that produce methane gas, fertilizer use and agricultural practices, burning of plant residues, and the decaying remnants of farming, and manure decomposition. From this sector generated greenhouse gases are methane (CH4) and dinitro oxide gas (N20). In Indonesia, agriculture and livestock sector accounted for greenhouse gas emissions by 8:05% of total greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere.
Impact of Global WarmingAs a global phenomenon, the impact of global warming felt by all people in the world, including Indonesia. The position of Indonesia as an archipelagic country, Indonesia put in conditions that are vulnerable to global warming. As a result of global warming, Indonesia will face the events:First, the rise in global temperatures, causing the melting of ice in the polar north and south, resulting in the mass expansion of sea water, and rising sea levels. This will reduce the production of fish and shrimp ponds, as well as the occurrence of coral bleaching (coral bleaching), and extinction of various species of fish. In addition, rising sea levels will result in small islands and sloping areas in Indonesia will be lost.Another threat faced by society is deteriorating groundwater quality, as a result of the influx of sea water or spilling over, and urban infrastructure were damaged, as a result of inundation by sea water.
Second, the shift in seasons as a result of changes in rainfall patterns. Climate change resulting in a high-intensity rainfall in a short period and long dry season. In some places there was an increase of rainfall which increases the chances of flooding and landslides, while elsewhere a decline in rainfall that has the potential to cause drought. Most of the Watershed (DAS) will be different levels of ebb tide and an increasingly sharp. This resulted in the increased frequency of flooding or drought.This condition will get worse if the capacity of the river or reservoir is not maintained due to erosion.
Both these events will have an impact on some sectors, namely:
Forestry. The change of several species of flora and fauna. The temperature rise will be the selectors of nature, where species that can adapt will survive and, even likely to proliferate rapidly. While the species is not able to adapt, will suffer extinction. The existence of forest fires that occurred as a result of rising temperatures around the forest, causing grass and twigs are dry tinder. In addition, forest fires causing the extinction of biodiversity.
Fisheries. Increased sea temperatures cause coral bleaching, and subsequent demise of coral reefs, as a habitat for many species of fish. Seawater temperature rise also triggered the migration of fish that are sensitive to temperature changes on a large scale leading to a cooler area. Events dying coral reefs and fish migration, economically, to the detriment of fishermen due to lower catches them.
Agriculture. In general, all forms of agricultural systems sensitive to climate change.Climate change resulting in a shift in seasons and changes in rainfall patterns. This is an impact on agricultural patterns, for example delays planting or harvesting season, the failure of planting, or harvesting due to flooding, landslides and drought. So will a decline in food production in Indonesia. In short, climate change will affect national food security.
Health. The impact of global warming in this sector that is increasing the frequency of tropical diseases, eg diseases transmitted by mosquitoes (malaria and dengue fever), outbreaks of diarrhea, disease or leptospirasis rat urine and skin diseases.The increase in air temperature will cause the shorter the incubation period of mosquitoes so that the quicker the mosquitoes to breed. The floods that hit will cause contamination of water supplies, causing disease outbreaks of diarrhea and disease leptospirosis in the post flood. Meanwhile, the drought will result in clean water crisis, which impacted the emergence of diarrheal diseases and skin diseases. Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is also a threat due to forest fires.
In addition to the above effects, recorded some remarkable events that indicate global warming, namely:
Year 2005 was the warmest year. NASA reported that the average global temperature has increased by 0.060 C.Withdrawal of the largest Arctic occurred in 2005. The result of one satellite photo shows the permanent ice-covered area is the narrowest area in the late summer of 2005.Year 2005 was a year with the hottest water in the Caribbean, much longer than has ever occurred and caused bleaching of coral (coral bleaching) along the major areas ranging from Caribbean to the Florida Keys, United States.Year 2005 was recorded as the year with most storm names. There are 26 names storms that exceed the official roster. In this year also there are approximately 14 storm, called a bad storm (hurricane), because it has a wind speed exceeding 119 km / hour. Record the previous year only 12 storms a year. Year 2005 was also the year with the highest category 5 storm with winds of 249 km / hour. The year 2005 was the most expensive due to storm losses.Year 2005 was the driest year ever since a few decades ago in the Amazon, South America. And America West suffered a long drought.

Sea water level rise

By considering the impact of global warming which has a national scale and long-term time dimension, then the existence RTRWN becomes very important. Broadly speaking RTRWN a predetermined aspect of legality through PP No.47/1997 as the elaboration of Article 20 of Law No.24/1992 on Spatial Planning policy guidance includes countries that show the spatial pattern and structure of national territory to be achieved in that time will come.

Patterns of spatial use of national territory includes: (a) the direction of policies and criteria for protected area management (including disaster-prone areas such as areas prone to tidal waves and floods), and (b) referral policies and criteria for the management of cultivated areas (forest production, agriculture, mining, tourism, housing, etc.). While the structure of national territory space use include: (a) the direction of development of national settlement systems and (b) the direction of development of national territory infrastructure systems (such as transportation networks, electricity, water resources, and raw water.

Global Warming & Greenhouse Gas: Developed Countries Must Act

For the period 1997 to 2008, emissions of carbon dioxide in the world due to the useof fossil fuels increased by 31 percent. Citizens of the world wants to 'speed' of global warming can be reduced.

It means that the amount of carbon dioxide should be reduced, because otherwise wewill face heavy pressure over again. Traveled life more difficult when the disasteroccurred and during post-disaster period. Billions and billions of dollars of lossessuffered due to the destruction of property and lives.

Many agricultural and fishery programs will be affected because of the dramaticseasonal changes in addition to threatening many species. All the world's oceansincreased by 1.5 inches. Global temperature will increase, thus lead to theincompatibility of the world community. Hundreds of blocks of ice from both poles of the earth to melt and affect global weather.

See how the phenomenon of the summer and more severe forest fires around the world, the United States (U.S.) to the west to Australia. Temperature last 12 years the world was found to be 0.4 degrees Celsius warmer than 12 years before 1997.

This frightening scenario of environmental citizenship. Ten years ago, meteorologicalscientists think climate change will not happen as bad as happens now, if no drastic action is taken, certainly more bad news related to the environment will follow later.

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.
