Global Warming Information - How it Works

Global Warming has 2 interconnected parts - the warming created by humans and Natures response to counteract the warming. The releasing of Greenhouse Gases is the human disregard for nature, nature responds by the creation of severe weather systems and changes to weather patterns attempting to counter act the warming. The more warming the hard the counter reaction is.
Basic Global Warming Information - Global Warming is a result of the Greenhouse gases we are exhausting into the atmosphere. This may seems strange but a global warming trend ends in an Ice Age. Nature is trying to counteract the warming trend created by man, unfortunately nature takes a long time to respond to the warming event and therefore over reacts resulting in too much cooling.

When a small area starts to overheat nature sets off a counter response to cool the area, hurricanes and tornadoes are good example of counter measures taken by nature to an area that is overheating. This is also a good example of overreaction; the larger the area the larger the counter response such as a hurricane; the more intense the area is the more focused the response is such as a tornado. When nature responds it is swift and violent.

Global Warming is not just 1 small area or region but it encompasses the entire planet and nature is starting to respond, almost every day the News is reporting extraordinary events related to the affects of Global Warming.

Global Warming has 2 parts as follows:

Part 1 The Human Factor - sunlight provides the heating of land, water and air. In a normal balanced condition heat is collected during the day and at night a large portion of this heat is radiated back into space. The Greenhouse gases create a lens or blanket that prevents this heat from escaping into space. As the land and water masses increase in temperature the melting of snow and ice occurs much faster, this exposes more darker surfaces which absorb more heat and as less heat is being allowed to escape this compound the Global Warming Effect.

Part 2 Mother Nature Responds. Nature responds to this heating by using cooling methods to cool down the area, but in the case of Global Warming this will encompass the entire planet, in attempting to cool down, the weather patterns are severely changed in that very large areas will be covered by clouds, these large areas of cloud cover serve a dual purpose; the clouds reflects sunlight back into space, they are also heavy with moisture ready to unload at any hot spot in the form of rain or snow. Thus cooling is taking place above and below. This multiplies the cooling effect and by the time the planet has cooled enough to reduce the cloud cover, a majority of the planet surface is covered with large areas of white snow and ice reflecting the warming sunlight back into space. This is the new beginning of an Ice Age.

In short summary the more we allow Greenhouse Gas into the atmosphere the more heating will occur, the price we are going to pay is the push back response from Mother Nature, the more we heat the higher the price or punishment we must pay.

If you are one of the people who believe this will not happen soon and that by the time it occurs we will have developed a solution, you are creating and excuse to taking no action. The majority of our carbon emissions have occurred since 1945 and the Global Carbon emissions are increasing every year. The warning signs are clearly present; we see it every day on the News. At the current rate of Carbon emissions we will go past the point of no return in the next 20 to 50 years. You could still be alive to experience this event and most certainly your children will.

There are solutions to dramatically slow the effects of Global Warming giving us more time to completely stop exhausting the greenhouse gases. There is more Global Warming Information and on practical pollution free alternate home energy systems at the links within this article.

We already will be paying a price for the destruction we have done in the last 80 years and the payback is starting now. How much we are going to pay depends on if we start now to reduce the greenhouse gases, the longer we wait the higher the price.
