The climate is changing. The earth is warming up, and there is now overwhelming scientific consensus that it is happening, and human-induced. With global warming on the increase and species and their habitats on the decrease, chances for ecosystems to adapt naturally are diminishing. Many are agreed that climate change may be one of the greatest threats facing the planet. Recent years show increasing temperatures in various regions, and/or increasing extremities in weather patterns. What is Global Warming and Climate Change? Global warming and climate change refer to an increase in average global temperatures. Natural events and human activities are believed to be contributing to an increase in average global temperatures. This is caused primarily by increases in “greenhouse” gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2).

The impacts of Global Warming are, Rapid changes in global temperature, Extreme Weather Patterns, Rising Sea Levels, Increase in Pests and Disease, Failing Agricultural Output; Increase in World Hunger.

Dangers of global warming

Adam: Hi, my name is Adam. I’m here today with Steve Soreno, the author of the Global Warming Survival Bible, Surviving and Prospering with Climate Change. How are you today?

Steve: I’m excellent, thanks.

Adam: Steve, your book contemplates the dangers of global warming but gives more attention to the survival aspect and what people can do in the future to survive and prosper. Why is that?

Steve: Well, global warming is a serious threat, no doubt, and humanity has to correct it, but us as individual people have to, above all, look at how to survive it.

The increasing numbers of contaminants in our drinking water today poses a real danger to our continued health and well-being. Learn about the main causes of water pollution and how to keep yourself and your family healthy.

Water pollution is caused mainly by the emission of domestic or urban sewage, agricultural waste, pollutants and industrial effluents into our rivers and seas.

It is a fact that over half of the total pollution comes from industrial sources despite stricter guidelines on disposal.

Other causes of water pollution include oil spills, what gets flushed down the toilet and environmental factors like underwater volcanoes and other things we have no control over.
