FactIncept - Flame up the Ideas, and Incept the Facts
'The Cryospher', an international scientific journal, in its latest published study has stated that, 'Andean glaciers', the most important source of portable water for millions of Americans has shrunk between 30 to 50 percent due to climate change, since the 1970s. The journal also states that it could melt away altogether in coming years. Some scientists say that the 'Chacaltaya glacier', once a ski resort, has already disappeared completely because glaciers are melting at their fastest rates in more than 300 years. The study emphasize on data, that about half of all Andean glaciers in South America has ice loss resulting spike in average temperature of 1.26 degrees Fahrenheit over the past 70 years.
Scientist 'Antoine Rabatel', the lead author of the study warned that in future, global warming may totally wipe out small glaciers which stores and release fresh water. He said "Glacier retreat in the tropical Andes over the last three decades is unprecedented." "This is a serious concern because a large proportion of the population lives in arid regions to the west of the Andes," added Rabatel.
Incidents happening around the globe and all other studies are supporting the upcoming future prophesies of this report. Like for example, a new study by the University of Western Australia's Oceans Institute has revealed that ocean temperatures are five degrees Celsius higher than normal, off the western Australian coast. This study revealed that, ocean temperatures at Jurien Bay were five degrees higher than normal, and for more than 2,000 km of the western coastline it was two-four degrees higher than normal. Daniel Smale, said "We have surveyed this coastline at three locations -- Hamelin Bay, Marmion and Jurien Bay -- almost every year since 2006. During this heat wave, we found that the seaweed Scytothalia dorycarpa -- one of the most prominent habitat-forming species of the temperate coastline -- retracted its range some 100 km because the extreme temperatures exceeded its physiological threshold," adds Smale.
Similarly, an American study says that the heat generated at a point can affect temperatures 1000 miles away, which in turn may result in warming some areas and cooling others. They said it in regard to cities that heat generated from buildings, cars, and other sources of urban areas causes winter warming across large areas of world. A group of research organization including National Centre for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) found that temperatures in some remote areas increased by as much as one degree Celsius.
"The burning of fossil fuel not only emits greenhouse gases but also directly affects temperatures because of heat that escapes from sources like buildings and cars," says study co-author Aixue Hu, NCAR scientist.
Such extreme climate events are increasing in frequency and magnitude, as a consequence of human activities. Impact of human deeds and response of nature is crystal clear and enough to open our mind. Nature is constantly giving inauspicious omen, otherwise how an Amazon rainforest area can be hit hard by a mega-drought.
A NASA-led study found that during the summer of 2005, more than 700,000 sq km, or 70 million hectares of pristine, old-growth forest in southwestern Amazonia experienced an extensive and severe drought. It's time to awake or follow the Geraldo Rivera who warned that,
"Mother Nature may be forgiving this year, or next year, but eventually she's going to come around and whack you. You've got to be prepared."
