Environment - April 2007

Mars is being hit by rapid climate change and it is happening so fast that the red planet could lose its southern ice cap, writes Jonathan Leake.

Scientists from Nasa say that Mars has warmed by about 0.5C since the 1970s. This is similar to the warming experienced on Earth over approximately the same period. Okay, since there are no humans to rape the planet Mars, why is it also experiencing a similar rate of "global warming"? Are there hidden martians who are driving SUVs?

Normally in this time of the year we are up to 38-40 C in April but now we are at 30-35 C only. Low humidity and great weather. Although I am enjoying this I am sad that Mother earth is changing or is it not? perhaps this is just a coincidence?

how much fresh, cold water would have to be put into the atlantic ocean via the melting of ice to cause a change to the 'conveyer belt of the atlantic' that takes warmer tropical water, brings it up next to the western coast of europe, including the UK to a point whereby the western coast of europe and the UK will experience famine as a result of colder weather?

for example, must all of the north pole melt? how much ice is on greenland that would cause this to happen? wouldn't much of greenland's melted ice just flow as water into the ground?

how many icebergs must melt?

is there change that all of the ice on antarctica would melt? how much climate change would melt all of that ice, and what would the result be down under the equator?

It sounded like a wind up to me but apparently methane gas is 3 times more efficient at trapping heat from the suns rays in the planets atmosphere than carbon dioxide.

School boy giggles aside, this is caused by the release of gases during digestion process and a major source of this is from cowes and pigs.

What are we going do about this one?

I'm doing this design project where the site was previously mined, they are going to refill the area with shale. We have to find ways of rehabilitating the site ie, planting trees, shrubs and vegetation that are native to that area. (Australian bush lands) Is there also any other alternative top soils that aren't totally man-made with lots of chemicals?, as the areas around the site is being conservated.

This project sheet says "all of the organisms and non-living things--- at least five in each picture should be labeled."

Does this mean 5 living and 5 non living organisms should be labeled or does it mean just 5 all together of living and non living organisms?

Everyone knows about Al Gore and his Inconvenient truth campaign. Some people are telling me that people are not causing climate change/global warming. Well if we aren't causing this mess what the heck is? I sure don't believe that it's happening by itself!

Why is it that our government always only thinks things half way through??

In Canada, within 5 years regular lightbulbs will be phased out, replaced with these new energy saving bulbs...but so far no one has thought ahead as to how to dispose of these.

I find it disturbing to read this article clip below. Just consider the future hazard this will pose! So much for "saving" the environment!

"When that happens with a compact fluorescent bulb (when it breaks), the mercury vaporizes, travels in a general northern direction with the atmosphere and is deposited. It then is absorbed into plant and animal systems, as well as the soil.


Last month, Health Canada issued new recommendations for fish consumption, due to rising levels of mercury that has made its way into the food chain.


What's needed, said Pushchak, is a curbside collection system for all household hazardous waste. "


So until then, I guess we're to enjoy being slowly poisoned to death.
