Global Warming Update
Well while some still dispute the "fact of" global warming,
my research indicates that there are none the less many factors contributing to said warming.
While research suggests a certain % is due to the accumulation of green house gases from human activity, new studies indicate that perhaps 20 to 30 % is attributed to increase solar activity and input and another "significant" portion may be attributeable to a 1 to 2 million reoccuring cycle set off by the wobble of the earth itself. This study seems to indicate that this is a major cause for the mass extinction of mammalian rodents.
While the disputed cause and facts of warming remain contested I though feel it is more important to concern ourselves with the "consequences" for the planet as a result of changing global conditions. "Planets change" or cycle perhaps is the lesson here and if as a planetary species, humanity desires to sustain and continue itself, we must act in response to these normal, natural or selfimposed or caused changes.
The greatest concern perhaps then of planet warming may be water. Water resources may change over time and ensuring adequate supplies of clean and healthy water may become an increasing issue or concern. Thus regardless of the facts of change or not, we are seeing significant changes in weather patterns and we will have to monitor such closely to ensure adequate supplies of water for ourselves, our crops and other species of earthen life. We will thus have to become "water stewards", if we, humanity wish to continue as a viable earthen species.
