POLLUTION, TIME BOMB....

POLLUTION, TIME BOMB.

Environmental pollution is contamination of air, water and land from man-made waste. Pollution leads to depletion of the ozone layer, global warming and climate change. Air pollution is the release of chemicals and particles into the atmosphere. Water pollution includes surface runoff, leakage into groundwater, liquid spills, wastewater discharge and littering. If toxins are spilled on the ground or if an underground storage tank leaks, soil can become contaminated. Well known contaminants include herbicides and pesticides. Toxic waste is waste material, often in chemical form, which pollutes the natural environment and contaminates groundwater.

A variety of environmental problems now affect our entire world. As globalization continues and the earth's natural processes transform local problems into international issues, few societies are being left untouched by major environmental problems.

Every environmental problem has causes, numerous effects, and most importantly, a solution.

Environmental issues effect every life on this planet from the smallest parasite to the human race. The reason for this is simple. A single disruption in the Earth delicate balance can mean certain destruction of the very place that cradles the lives of many species. What is not so simple is finding alternatives to the now dangerous and confronting acts of planet degradation that have been afflicted on the planet over recent years. One such issue that requires consideration is deforestation. Trees have been or are being cut down at increasingly high rates. If this is not stopped many unfavorable side effects could result.

Spain to bear between 3 and 6 degrees maximum temperature in 60 years, particularly for the period 2071-2100, compared to reference values from 1961 to 1990. This was reported on Tuesday the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), introducing new regionalized climate change projections, which indicate a trend towards reduced rainfall.

The decrease in rainfall will be felt in the second half of the century
The report, which was presented by Secretary of State for Climate Change, Teresa Ribera, and AEMET president, Ricardo García Herrera, indicate that the increase in the minimum temperature will be between 2 and 5 degrees.

As for precipitation, the projections show a greater dispersion of data, although in the first half of the century there is no significant trend in precipitation of mainland Spain, yes there is a tendency to reduce the same in the second half XXI century. For the last decade of the century would probably be placed in a range of 15 to 30% compared to precipitation in the period 1961-1990.

"20% less rainfall"

In Spain, as reported by the Meteorological Agency, there has been a slight warming until the late forties and a slight cooling until the beginning of the seventies. From 1980 he began to produce a warming trend that continues today.

In this report, updated AEMET regionalized scenarios using data from global models of the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) approved in Valencia in 2007.

The scenarios provide estimates of the potential traits and develop future climate scenarios impactosLos studies are estimates of the potential traits and develop future climate impacts and vulnerability studies on ecological, economic and social. To build these scenarios "you have from global climate models tailored to the characteristics of our country," said Teresa Ribera.

The information filed today is available on the website of the State Agency and presents graphs that correspond to mainland Spain and the seventeen autonomous communities, annual and seasonal scale. This service is based mainly on three climate variables are the maximum temperature, minimum temperature and precipitation being able to choose the outcomes at an annual or seasonal.

For Ricardo Garcia could "talk about a 20% decrease in rainfall at the end of the century until 2050 but in general no significant trend in terms of less rainfall." This does not mean, says the president of the AEMET, "we go to a desert climate but we move in a climate with less rainfall and temperatures over which there will be more problems to handle the current water cycle."
