This is not some barmy‚ right-wing fantasy; it is the consensus of expert opinion. Yet almost nobody seems to know this. Good news is no news‚ which is why the mainstream media largely ignores all studies showing net benefits of climate change. And academics

In comparison to the forty to eighty gigatons of carbon loss‚ a small one ton of increase in soil carbon pool has the potential to enhance food security and ultimately even reduce fossil fuels emissions by 0.4 to 1.2 gigatons a year‚ in other words by five to fifteen percent of the global fossil fuel emissions. ............................................................................................................................................

There are four major factors when it comes to nature causing climate changes; volcanic eruptions‚ ocean currents‚ earth orbital changes‚ and solar variations. There are three major factors when it comes to humans causing climate changes; transportation‚ deforestation‚ and fossil fuels to generate energy. Volcanic eruptions can cause the climate to change. When a volcano erupts tiny particles called aerosols shoot into the atmosphere. These tiny particles reflect solar energy into space and cool

The infectious diseases have been emphasized in two major classifications which are the water and the foodborne infectious diseases as well as the vector borne infectious diseases. Even if the global warming is not easy to solve‚ there are some methods should be taken to mitigate this phenomenon.

There has been a hurricane overseas and we are getting some of it so the winds are very strong they say it can be up to 70mph some airports have been shut. Windy rainy days but still very humid. Sunny and windy days but cold. Climate measures the average pattern of variation in temperature‚ humidity‚ atmospheric pressure‚ wind‚ precipitation. Climate is different from weather
