The main objective of the Paris Agreement is to limit the increase in global temperature to no more than 2°C, from its pre-industrial level, by the end of this century. To achieve this key objective, greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced until they are completely eradicated. Through the premise “Zero fossil fuels” is intended to replace oil, [...]
At all times and in all sciences, there have always been visionaries, those people who anticipate situations long before other persons can glimpse them. This is the case of Jean-Baptiste Joseph Fourier (1768-1830), a French mathematician and physicist, who in 1824 calculated that an object the size of the Earth and with a similar distance [...]
There are still those who confuse these two phenomena, which, although very different, are closely related to each other, as they are to the greenhouse effect. We must bear in mind that the three correspond to the natural conditions of our planet for millions of years. Thanks to them, and other characteristics of the Earth, [...]
The failure of the Paris Agreement would be the failure of Homo sapiens. If we do not reverse the increase in global warming and we do not support sustainability on our planet, we will all be losers. There are clear indications that we are going in a opposite direction to the 2015 agreements, as can [...]
The curtain has fallen on the stage that gave place to the twenty-third “Conference of the Parties on Climate Change”, held between November 6 and 17, 2017, in Bonn, chaired by Fiji. The German city facilitated the space, infrastructure and part of the organization necessary to carry out the event. Why Bonn? Because it is [...]
A crisis of faith Somebody who has been writing about environmental issues for more than a decade may have a moment of deep doubt, something like that believer who has ever felt that God has turned away from him so much that he even thinks that the Creator does not exist. He suffers a crisis [...]
It is to be recognized that in the last ten years attention has been increased on such important issues as global warming, climate change, elephant killings or the Paris Agreement, but there is also much to be done. For example, a short video of a poor lady falling down some steps may have ten or twenty [...]
There is no evidence on the relationship between hurricanes and global warming, but there are some suspicions based on certain facts There are mixed views on the relationship between global warming and hurricanes. So far, no evidence has been found to support this relationship. Whenever there is an extraordinary phenomenon that is supposed [...]
One tree breathes, two trees breathe twice as much and in the case of the Amazon it is the world’s largest rainforest that breathes. And it does so with force, because millions of trees live in its immense territory of about six million square kilometers, eight times greater than the Borneo rainforest, depleted by 75%, [...]
Earth day is celebrated because there are intelligent life on Earth. That easy. On planets, without thinking beings presence there is no possibility of celebrating anything since there is no one who can do it. Instead, in this little blue point lost in a corner of universe, which from millions of light year distances is [...]
