Climate

Climate

The weather refers to the state of the atmosphere conditions that influence a certain area. The daily use of the term, in general, is linked to the temperature and the record or not of precipitation (rain, snow, etc).

Although, sometimes, climate is used as a synonym of time , these concepts do not have the same meaning. Time refers to the situation of atmospheric factors that act at a specific time and in a given region. For example: "The weather in Buenos Aires is warm, with a temperature, at this moment, of 27º" , "I would like to know how is the weather in Acapulco, since, in a few hours, we will arrive in the city and would like to spend the afternoon on the beach . "

The climate, on the other hand, supposes information focused on a longer period of time, of at least three decades: "The climate of my region is subtropical, with a lot of rainfall during the summer season" , "Global warming has generated a marked increase in temperature and a new climate characterized by high humidity . "

It is called as climate, on the other hand, a certain social environment , with particular characteristics that define it: "The political climate is quite convulsed at present, after the resignation of the first president and his ministers" , "Can not be underestimated intellectual climate that is breathed in the city . "

Other uses of the word climate are linked to the area of the globe that is located between two parallel and to the extent of surface used in the agricultural field that indicated 60 feet on the side (ie, about 290 square meters).

Environmental pollution and climate changes

Throughout the 20th century, the average temperature of our planetincreased by 0.6 degrees, due to different acts of negligence on the part of the human being. Similarly, it is estimated that by the year 2100, compared to 1990, the increase will be up to 5.8 degrees and the average level of the sea will rise to 88 centimeters, unprecedented in the last thousand years.

These climate changes will bring diseases of infectious type, such as tropical, and that conditions will be more than adequate to be scattered, even in Northern Earth. It has been announced, by the World Health Organization, that malaria and dengue, among many other diseases transmitted by insects, will proliferate dangerously due to changes in temperatures and rainfall.

The concentration of gases such as CO2 in the atmosphere is very dangerous, and since the year 1750 has grown by 31%, due to human activities, such as deforestation and, mainly, the burning of fossil fuels.

Also, the reduction of ice and snow layers has been 10% since the end of the 60s and the temperature of the ocean surface has increased alarmingly. If this continues to worsen, the consequences will be fatal ; It is likely that the sea floods several countries, that mega tsunamis are produced that destroy everything in its path, as well as an epidemic of cholera and poisoning due to seafood consumption.

All this can be prevented with a drastic reduction in the emissions of gases such as CO2, which are the cause of the aforementioned greenhouse effect. Another of the main sources of contamination is the incineration of waste, since it emits substances of high toxicity. With this action, people are turning our planet into a deadly trap, fouling the air, water and food, which could end up being deadly poisons.
