Changing
climate, what are the influences?
Read
an article the other day about the earth’s axis shift and how it is effecting
the change of the global climate. This
makes more sense to me the carbon having impact on the climate. The incident angle of how the sun strikes the
earth has a tremendous impact. If a
person has paid any attention to the solar industry and how they tilt their
solar panels. How the sun impacts on the
solar panels is the same impact of solar gain or loss on the good planet earth.
Few
years back I wrote along this same vein when I read about how the GPS system
was being re-calibrated by the shift of the earth’s axis. The satellites had lost their accuracy by
seconds and things could get messy, such as ships navigating in to shallow of
waters or planes in the wrong pattern.
Short little distances have a major impact on lots of things. Something as simple as moving a shadow, which
would change solar radiation.
The
sun’s angle on how it strikes the earth probably has an effect on El Nino, a
big impact on weather. Changing weather
patterns in turn impact the climate. How
these events affect the climate is seldom reported on unless they fit a person’s
pre-conceived paradigm. In that, is part
of the problem with climate change. For
a tilt of the earth’s axis is a natural event, not manmade, kind of hard to
manipulate people.
The
other problem I have is the blaming of carbon being a guilty culprit. Carbon is as essential to life as is
oxygen. Both of these elements are
extremely critical to sustain life.
Carbon to plants is as needed as oxygen is necessary to
animals/humans. One can not live with
out the other.
The
other thing is, carbon is called a greenhouse gas. Think about that. In a greenhouse, the life of a plant is
enhanced and its growth is increased.
Since the critters of the world need plants for protection and food, one
would think greenhouse gasses would be beneficial to have surrounding the good
planet earth.
An
agronomist told me, when he was going to college, they would add carbon dioxide
to the greenhouse they were working in to stimulate plant growth. The other thing is, these plants provide the
oxygen we need to breathe. Without
plants converting CO2 to O2, we would soon expire.
So
if people are blaming carbon for climate change……. Are they saying they want to
kill plants and eventually kill life in general.
Photosynthesis
is one of the very basic things one learns in High School science, which is not
a requirement like it used to be. The
people that teach science now teach science in a way to fit their agenda rather
teaching to learn, question and explore the things of life and how it
operates.
