Climate change is one biggest problem facing humanity, Don Wuebbles, University of Illinois, said that scientist from the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, over 150 conference participants at the 2010 U of I AG Masters Conference at the I Hotel in Champaign on Thursday, December 2.
"The science is clear," said Wuebbles. "Our climate is changing and human activities have been identified as the main cause. The urgent need for action is undeniable."Scientific analysis will clearly show changes driven the global temperature changes in atmospheric concentrations of radioactive gases and particles of average size, legalized the most important concerns of climate change for decades to come, he said.
However, Wuebbles says climate change is greater than the increase in temperature. Future temperatures forecast to rise to unprecedented speed, up to 11 degrees warmer than a century later. Besides the fine weather is climate change caused by animals, birds and fish move northward, flowering plants above, the melting snows came early, more heavy rains, the rise in sea level of the sea, melting glaciers and the rapid turnover of vegetation. Warmer winters, hotter summers, wet winters and dry springs and summers provide that challenge for agriculture Illinois summer weather could be similar to East Texas until the end of this century experience. He expects to be more frequent extreme weather events. Heat waves become longer and more frequent droughts, storms increase, and winter snow storms will be stronger."Our future climate and its effects depend on decisions made today," said Wuebbles. "Farmers can use renewable energy wherever possible to save energy, and not only to help in their use of fertilizers."
Wuebbles shared the 2007 Nobel Prize for his previous work with the international Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. It 'been a member of a Federal Advisory Committee and magazines, published a 2009 report on the potential affect of climate change on the United States.
