This is due to the fact that it grows


Miners and environmentalists roundtable Adam Ostolski
Marcin Gerwin: In the latest issue of "Newsweek", we can read the statement prof. Leszek Marx, a geologist from the University of Warsaw, according to the 1998 global temperature has not increased. It is therefore apparent that global warming is over.
Simon Malinowski: I do not. This is not true. The average temperature on Earth is steadily growing. As shown in a recent article in "Nature", the fact that we see a slight increase of temperature in recent years, due to the fact that all the time bad factored data from the Arctic - we had enough of these data in calculating the average global temperature. If complemented with measurement data of the Earth's surface satellite data, it is clear that the temperature rise still takes place.
You can always find a place in the world where a little chilly compared to some earlier period - a few or a dozen years. Warming is not progressing evenly across the planet.
So it looks like when the voice takes someone outside of atmospheric dict sciences, without the knowledge of meteorology, climatology and atmospheric physics. Indeed, we can define it in an unambiguous manner. For example, we can precisely calculate how the waves of different lengths of electromagnetic radiation are absorbed and dispersed in the atmosphere. We have in this area a large number of experimental data, which we use not only in climate but also in astronomy and telecommunications, as well as in military techniques. Therefore, it is very well known as carbon dioxide dict absorbs light and, as other greenhouse gases, including water vapor. We are able to measure both the satellite and the Earth, that there has been a violent disturbance of the energy balance of the planet - it absorbs more energy than it emits into space.
This is due to the fact that it grows "insulating layer" around the planet, which consists of greenhouse gases. With the same amount of energy supplied and the stronger "isolation" in the middle has to do is warmer.
It is simply the law of conservation of energy. We can furthermore show that the main reason for this gap is to increase the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and what's more, we are able to track down where this extra carbon dioxide comes from.
There are three independent groups dict of evidence to suggest that this additional carbon dioxide produced by human activity. Firstly, it is the balance dict of the carbon dict cycle in nature. By examining him know how much carbon (element - C) is absorbed by the oceans and by vegetation, and how much is excreted into the atmosphere. We have the information on the extraction of fossil fuels and volcanic emissions. When we do the balance sheet, it shows that we add to this cycle of carbon from fossil fuels. Secondly, the carbon that is part of the carbon dioxide occurs in nature in two isotopes - C12 and C13. We observe that in the atmosphere increases the amount of isotope that comes from fossil fuels. dict Thirdly, we follow the oxygen content in the atmosphere. And if it were coming from volcanoes carbon dioxide dict or any other source without burning it in the atmosphere would not adversely affect the amount of oxygen relative to the amount of nitrogen. In contrast to how the amount of oxygen is reduced, corresponds to the number of coal burning fossil fuels, the combustion of oxygen since it combines with carbon to form CO2 is that it is more and more atmosphere.
Climatologists suggest that in the distant past the Earth have already been periods in which the atmosphere was more carbon dioxide than today. There were also periods of warmer and cooler. So maybe the current warming of the Earth is part of a natural cycle?
What I fear is not that the climate is changing, but that is changing too fast. What's worse is this to happen even faster, since changes are delayed relative to our greenhouse gas emissions, due to a delay factor, which is the large heat capacity of the oceans. These changes may be so rapid that each of them can do about it. It may cost us a lot because we are completely dict dependent on nature, one hundred dict percent, though it may seem to us that it is not.
Just before the climate summit in Warsaw typhoon caused massive destruction in the Philippines. Is there a connection between climate change and hurricanes? Is it possible, for example, to say that this typhoon fifth category was caused by global warming?
It's just an area of science in which many things can be questioned. But we know for sure that the increase in air temperature and ocean temperatures cause the reservoirs of energy available to tropical cyclones dict are getting bigger. In this connection, such cyclones may be more frequent or stronger and stronger, or both. In contrast, due to limitations in the possibilities dict of the future replacement climate models because they are imperfect (we know where the points are
