Planet Connecticut - an environmental education program
Planet Connecticut - an environmental education program When the global temperature increases - even a little at a time - the climate will eventually change and that can impact people, animals and ecosystems. Little things you do every day may contribute to the problem - the good news is that you can also help ...

Equity Watch - Global Environmental Government Unit - Centre for Science and Environment (CSE)
C and 2C rise in temperature (for wheat and rice respectively) nearly cancels out this positive effect. Production will go down if ... 50 per cent if atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations double. But if rainfall decreases significantly and temperature increases, production could go down by 6 per cent. This will severely affect a state ...

CO2 sources - Respiration
Potential for control Quite obviously, limiting global greenhouse gas emissions and, therefore, future global temperature increases, could help to avoid the spiral of warming, increased respiration rates, and more warming which threatens.

CO2 sinks - Oceans
Potential for control Limiting global greenhouse gas emissions and, therefore, future global temperature increases, could help to avoid the such surface water warming and help to maintain the oceanic carbon dioxide sink at its current size. Contact the Author GHG Online Home ...

The Regional Impacts of Climate Change
GCMs (Joubert and Hewitson, 1997). Parts of the Sahel could experience rainfall increases of as much as 15% over the 1961-90 average. Equatorial Africa could experience a ... a background of large natural variability compounded by the use of imperfect climate models. Projected temperature increases are likely to lead to increased open water and soil/plant evaporation. Exactly how ...

Climate change will also change water levels, temperature and peak flow timing for rivers and streams leading to further pressures on already stressed species, ... , often reaches temperatures of 22 degrees while the salmon are returning to spawn. If the temperature increases a further one or two degrees, most of the returning salmon will likely die ...

Climate Change - Energy: Fossil Fuels
As the barrier grows, the earth’s temperature increases. This is magnifying the natural greenhouse effect and the result is climate change. We now consume petroleum products at a tremendous rate. Burning fuel in our cars, factories and power plants has pumped billions of tonnes ...
