Climate changes

The climate history of the earth is one of dramatie ehange cycles over millions of years. Many periods of ice ages alternating with periods of warmer elimates have helped to shape the landscapes that are seen today and have determined the comse 

The other natural phenomenon which affects, in particular, northern Europe is the position of the jet stream, a flow of air about 11 km above the Earth s surface at each of the poles. This travels from west to east and, depending on how far south the northern hemisphere stream sits, will bring colder or warmer seasons from year to year. In 2012 the jet stream was sithng very low and brought cold, polar air in the winter and wet, windy weather during the summer months. This resulted in the second wettest year in the UK since records began and resulted in delayed or abandoned harvests, poor crop quality and flooded fields that prevented autumn sowing of maity crops. 

Farmers are encouraged to consider their on-farm energy policies irsing technologies such as photovoltaic cells (solar panels), wind turbines, grormd heat pumps, biomass boilers and anaerobic digesters to produce electricity. 

Carbon dioxide, and in particular emissions from man-made sources, has been implicated in the global climate change. This book is not the place to debate whether or not C02 is actually causing a change in the climate. However, the processes described in this book provide a potential solution to the C02 emission problem. 

CO2 is generated on Earth by burning organic material, breathing, and emissions from volcanoes and man-made machines, which includes emissions due to industrial processes and transportation. On the other hand, CO2 is consumed by the process of photosynthesis and by dissolution in the oceans. On a balance, its quantity should more or less be constant and not deviate much from the 0.035% value. However, in between the years 1900-1960, the CO2 percentage increased by 7.4%, which still does not look too impressive. However, it is calculated that an increase of 15% in the percentage of CO2 will cause warming of the Earth by 4°C, which will result in major disasters on the planet. 

However, where appropriate, it is possible to promote the oxidation of methane to carbon dioxide in venting systems. If this approach is considered then careful assessment of the likely benefits as against other environmental costs

Living things, plants and ices are able to keep the results of environment impact, an information of that kind is recorded, for examples, by trees in a view of year layers (or Greenland ices). This recorded knowledge keeps a various facts about climate changes mechanisms, about solar activity, soil conditions and, in particular, the level of this very region contamination.

Burning fossil fuel releases carbon into the atmosphere—more than 6.3 billion tons in 1998 alone. Significant amounts of carbon also come from burning of live wood and deadwood. Such fires are often deliberately set to clear land for crops and pastures. In 1988 the smoke from fires set in the Amazon Basin covered 1,044,000 square miles. By far the most serious implication of this is the significant threat to Earth s ecosystems by global climate change. 

Unlike Albert Einstein s E = mc, for example, the theoi y of human-driven climate change is not a singular theoi y but consists of several interlocking theories, some better defined chan others.
