Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth’s near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century. he recently concluded Copenhagen Summit 2009 reiterates again the increasing need for us human beings to heed the earth?s warning about climate change. The Copenhagen talks was part of the annual series of UN meetings, originating from the Earth Summit held in 1992, which aimed at coordinated international action against climate change. So, what is this climate change and how is it happening? How do we stop it or how do we help? Climate change is a change in the distribution of weather over periods of time that ranges from decades to millions of years. It can either be a change in the average weather or a change in the distribution of weather events. Climate change may be just limited to a specific region, or may occur across the whole Earth. In the recent context climate change refers to the changes in modern climate, more generally known as the global warmi...

"“GEORGE RABUSA, HOW DO YOU PLEAD/ GUILTY OR NOT GU...": As someone absolutely disgusted by AFP Corruption, I am even more disgusted with Rabusa. Snakes in the grass always get stepped on, and that is at least a consolation. Listening to him cry the day General Reyes shot himself I was almost overcome with anger. Imagine then how I felt less than 9 hours later when he offered, "Why should I care? I dint kill him, he killed himself." The Philippines is an extremely small place in terms of people existing in that income bracket. In other words, unless he starts living in a nipa somewhere, he will end up back on the radar sooner or later. My bet is Orlando, Florida in the States, a city Debbie Rabusa is absolutely enamoured with. The joke of a "Witness Protection Program" will probanly give him a new passport and a ticket for Florida. Being an attention hound he will surface. That is at least a comfort to me, and to others. Publish jsbraza/iligan

SangyawMindanao: Ozone Hole is Major Contributor to Climate Change http://sspp.proquest.com/archives/archives.html jsbraza/iligan

By Carly Fiske April 22, 2011 11:35 AM Click to Enlarge The ozone hole over the South Pole is leading to climate change effects all the way to the equator, according to new study. Scientists from Columbia University found that the ozone hole has created more rainfall in the Southern equator and changes in tropical circulation there. Previous scientific work had found that the ozone hole changes high-latitude atmospheric flow. Sarah Kang, lead author, indicated that the discovery was significant finding in understanding climate change. "It's really amazing that the ozone hole, located so high up in the atmosphere over Antarctica, can have an impact all the way to the tropics and affect rainfall there -- it's just like a domino effect," she said. The ozone hole has been linked to use of aerosols that contain chlorofluorocarbons, known to quickly break down the ozone layer. The hole has been located above the Antarctic ozone layer. Since the 1989 Montr...
