Exponentially Warming up the World (Readings from Sir John Houghton Cambridge University Press 2004)
Global warming is the main issue
now a days in terms of natural science affecting the real world society. Many
parts of the world are not experiencing the way they use to experience in their
four seasons before. Large geographical
part in Asia on the other hand are experiencing water flooding and El Nino
respectively. With all these changes in
climate, positive effect in humanity is far from possible. Clearly all the changes in climate that we
experience today are all giving negative effect to the humanities' habitat. If we can only imagine exponentially and
imagine what will happen to the world by 2060 if global warming is constantly
increasing in its environmental threat. In
my deepest imagination I can conceive that if climate is aggressive and radical
against nature and its habitat I can say that human will gradually evolve by
its nature.
From the core concept of
Darwin that environmental ecosystem will affect the growth of the
habitats of the world. To give a brief example of his
theory that birds with the same species but in different geographical location
differ slightly in physical features.
Likewise studies will also prove that Asians living in US and European
countries are fairer in skin complex compared to those Asian people who are living
in humid and warm geographical areas in Asia.
With these theoretical concept we can say that as climate will change in
its present behavior today in a rapid manner, likewise human features will also
change in the future. If the world will
become a water world then maybe gills will be an added feature in our human
body parts. Humans by nature will
survive by itself but that will discriminate the non-dominant species. As of today, the issue of global warming is
in a radical manner that in a sense it is already hurting the human nature.
Putting our garbage in the bin is not enough
practice that will hold the normal world climate, what I’m trying to convey
that radical climate change needs radical government policy change to at least
save the remaining chances of human habitat.
On the other hand if in the matters of world energy need, companies
today are hungry of raw minerals to achieve their production quota and
marketing sales. The problem of saving
the climate will relatively deprive the production of modern technological
materials today that humanity is also dependent in terms of their urban
living. World government policies are
also highlighted in the literature of Houghton. First, Montreal protocol
connects to the ozone pollution control that everyone in the world is getting
scared of, countries who are so conservative in preserving their ozone are
political upset with those countries who are not in accordance with their
conservative national guidelines. Second, is the Kyoto Protocol which was held
in Berlin last 1995 that 1st world advance countries should take the
lead in protecting the environment. The
greenhouse gases covered in the Kyoto protocol are Carbon dioxide, Methane,
Nitrous Oxide, Hydrofluorocarbons, Perfluorocarbons, and Sulphur hexafluoride. The mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol are
compose of three emission reduction mechanism which are the joint
implementation, the clean development mechanism, and emissions trading.
Late action is not even the right
term to use in achieving the climate stability that we want to achieve. Radical
government policy change Internationally from the national policy collaboration
is needed to hasten the policy the soonest.
