2009 was yet market by another record, this in the form of the third highest Global surface temperature average being documented since 1891. It tied with 2006, 2003 and 2002.
The annual mean land temperatures where above in most land areas, except for North America and central Siberia.
On the long-term record the annual Global average land temperatures have been rinsing at a rate of 0.68 degree Celsius over the past century.
The factors causing this increase of the average Global surface temperatures as well as the rise of the average sea water temperatures are CO2 cases as well as other pollutants and phenomenon’s such as El Nino.
Over the past decade alone 1999 was market by + 0,10; 2000 by +0.05; 2001 by +0.27; 2002 by +0.31; 2003 by +0.31; 2004 by +0.27; 2005 by +0.32; 2006 +0.31; 2007 by +0.28; 2008 by +0.12 and 2009 by +0.31 degrees Celsius above average global temperatures.
The revised data clearly shows that the trend of global warming is persisting and accurate. The IPCC and several other organizations have reviewed and re-examined all data and findings to ensure its accuracy and integrity.
Further our oxygen depletions is greater as well due to the increase of CO2 produced in the industrial countries and the reductions of CO2 absorbing bio mass such as trees, Coral Reefs and others.
Aditionaly, an increase in Methane production is contributing to accelerate the green house effect lucking up more Oxygen, leading to still a greater and faster depletion of our volume of Oxygen available in the air.
Fear mongering or sound warnings? Well, I suppose that depends on where one stands and how well one may be informed and educated.
In order to be able to understand the seriousness of the problems at hand one needs to look only at the main cases contributing to our problem. From 1979 till 1984 CO2 contributed with 56% to the gases we emitted, where as CH4 contributed with 13.6%, N2O with 6.1%, CFC with 22.1%, HCFC with 2% and HCF with 0.2% of human caused atmospheric pollution.
Compared to the period of 2003 till 2008 where CO2 contribution was 86.2%, CH4 2.2%, N2O 7.6%, CFC -5.0%, HCFC 4.7% and HFC 4.2%.
This is a massive increase of Oxygen atoms being looked up and no longer available in the air. At the same time we can also observe an equally worrisome degrees of CO2 absorption due to a temperature increase which leads to greater production of CO2 by the plants and lover production of Oxygen.
Other factors are further deforestations taking place, desertification due to human activity and pollution killing vital organisms and human practices of overfishing and over exploitation of the natural resources available with out giving back to the cycle of life.
Intelligence is determined by the capability to observe, learn and adapt for the sake of survival and evolution. Should we still have this ability, then we will change our ways and stop polluting, we will learn to reinvent our self’s and restructure our societies accordingly. Should we persist in failing at this task, then we will perish in the same manner as a parasite or a cancer perishes after killing its host.
The choice is ours and ours alone.
