Abstract

Purpose - Although many studies have analyzed the factor that which are responsible for
increasing global warming which affects our sustainability the life-critical stability of the global
climate is affected by global warming. But now days have to be explored and identified as a
factor which can ensure better future by reducing carbon emissions and other factors responsible
for global warming so that we can render better world and sustainability to our next
generations. The purpose of this article is to inform you about the methods and practices which
can reduce the carbon emissions and use of energy in an efficient way which ensures reducing
levels of global warming which is better for our sustainability side by side this article can also
inform you about the practices which are responsible for increasing global warming so that with
we can avoid them.        
What is Global Warming and How Does it Affect Our Climate

To formulate your own informed global warming opinions as well as understand the new
Climageddon Scenario model for what our future climate will look like, it is essential to know:

1. what global warming is,

2. how it is created,
3. how the life-critical stability of the global climate is affected by global warming, and
4. how this will affect you and your future, specifically the new Climageddon Scenario.

If you are a diligent person who is serious about planning your future and avoiding unnecessary
suffering and loss, this may be the most important article you may ever read.

In this illustration below you will see a few of the many global warming consequences.
What is global warming?
Global warming is a term used for the observed century-scale rise in
the average temperature of the Earth's climate system and its related
effects. Scientists are more than 95% certain that nearly all of global
warming is caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse
gases (GHGs) and other human-caused emissions.

Within the earth's atmosphere, accumulating greenhouse gases

like water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide,
and ozone are the gases within the atmosphere that absorb and emit
heat radiation. Increasing or decreasing amounts of greenhouse gases
within the atmosphere act to either hold in or release more of the heat
from the sun.

Our atmosphere is getting hotter, more turbulent, and more

unpredictable because of the “boiling and churning” effect caused by
the heat-trapping greenhouse gases within the upper layers of our
atmosphere. With each increase of carbon, methane, or other
greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, our local weather and global
climate is further agitated, heated, and “boiled.”

Global warming is gauged by the increase in the average global

temperature of the Earth. Along with our currently increasing average
global temperature, some parts of the Earth may actually get colder
while other parts get warmer—hence the idea of average global
temperature. Greenhouse gas-caused atmospheric heating and
agitation also increase the unpredictability of the weather and climate
and dramatically increase the severity, scale, and frequency of storms,
droughts, wildfires, and extreme temperatures.

Global warming can reach levels of irreversibility as it has now, and

increasing levels of global warming can eventually reach an extinction
level where humanity and all life on earth will end. In this book,
irreversible global warming is partially defined as a continuum of
increasing temperature that causes the global climate to rapidly
change until those higher temperatures becomes irreversible on
practical human time scales. The eventual temperature range
associated with triggering and marking the beginning of the
irreversible global warming processes is an increase in average global
temperature of 2.2°-4° Celsius (4°-7.2° Fahrenheit) above preindustrial
levels. For the full definition of irreversible global warming and how
this has happened to us, click here.

Extinction level global warming is defined in this book as temperatures

exceeding preindustrial levels by 5-6° Celsius (9-10.8° Fahrenheit) or
the extinction of all planetary life, or the eventual loss of our
atmosphere. If our atmosphere is also lost, this is referred to as
runaway global warming. The result would be similar to what is
thought to have happened to Venus 4 billion years ago, resulting in a
carbon-rich atmosphere and minimum surface temperatures of 462 °C.

The temperature levels described above for irreversible and extinction

level global warming are not hard and rigid boundaries, but boundary
ranges that describe the related consequences and their intensities
within a certain level of global warming. These temperature boundary
levels may be modified by future research. More about how irreversible
global warming and extinction-level global warming can come about
because of complex interactions will be explained in the tipping point
information will set the foundation necessary to understand how we
are already creating the conditions that have not only created
irreversible global warming, but also extinction-level global warming if
we keep going as we are now.

 The concentration of the human-caused carbon pollution of our

atmosphere has nearly doubled in 60 years—and it is continuing to
escalate at faster and faster rates.

 Carbon in the atmosphere from fossil fuel burning isn’t our only
problem.

 While the situation is critical, it is still possible to slow and lessen

global warming enough for the climate to establish a new, stable
equilibrium. However, that equilibrium may be unlike anything
previously seen in Earth’s history and it may not be suitable for
humanity to thrive.
How increasing carbon dioxide in our
atmosphere is tracked and measured
Atmospheric carbon from fossil fuel burning is the main human-caused
factor in the escalating global warming we are experiencing now. The
current level of carbon in our atmosphere is tracked using what is
called the Keeling curve. The Keeling curve measures atmospheric
carbon in parts per million (ppm).

Each year, many measurements are taken at Mauna Loa, Hawaii to

determine the parts per million (ppm) of carbon in the atmosphere at
that time. At the beginning of the Industrial Revolution (1) around
1880, before we began fossil fuel burning, our atmospheric carbon ppm
level was at about 270. Here is the current Keeling curve graph for
where we are today:

Keeling Curve Monthly CO2 graph, via Show.earth (2)

As you can see, we are not doing very well. As of June of 2019 we are
at about carbon 414 ppm. In this section of this article (on the Learn
pull down,) you will learn what this exponentially rising carbon means
to your future. You also will see other graphs that will show you how
today’s atmospheric carbon levels compare to those of our near and
far distant past (hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands, and
millions of years ago).

No matter what you hear in the media, if the total carbon ppm level is
not going down or carbon’s average ppm level per year is not falling
or at least slowing its steep increase, (3) we are  not  making any
significant progress on resolving the escalating global warming
emergency. Total atmospheric carbon and carbon’s average ppm
level per year  are the most dependable measurements of our
progress and a predictor of what will be happening with global
warming and its many consequences.

How do we know if we're making

honest progress in reducing carbon
dioxide to reduce global warming?
There are at least two ways we will be able to tell that we are making
honest progress in reducing global warming:

1. When we see our average annual increase in carbon ppm levels

(currently at about 3 ppm per year) begin dropping, remaining at the
current level, or at least rising at a slower rate.
2. When we start seeing the above Keeling graph levels dropping from
the current carbon ppm level (approximately 414 ppm) to carbon
350-325 ppm. (How we do this is in the free Job One Plan.)

A quick look at the historic rise of

carbon in the atmosphere since the
Industrial Revolution
The following graph demonstrates that carbon has been rising in the
atmosphere long before 1960. With the introduction of fossil fuels,
carbon began rising at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution
around 1880.

In the graph below, you will notice that the curve of carbon increasing
in the atmosphere proceeds from about 1880 to 1950 in a gradual
linear progression. From 1950 to 2000 and beyond, carbon increases in
the atmosphere in a far steeper, more exponential curve.

How escalating global warming
destabilizes the climate and creates
econominic, political and social
chaos
It is important that we understand that the stability of our climate is
the essential foundation for running our personal and business lives
smoothly and successfully. If the global climate continues to
destabilize because of escalating global warming, most people will not
connect the dots to see that their normal lives will also destabilize
until it is too late.

Most people do not think about:

1. What will happen when food production drops due to drought,

floods, and extreme heat, which will cause food prices to soar and
many foods to be scarce.
2. How storms will continue to grow more violent, costly, and
cataclysmic. Damage to homes, businesses, and infrastructure will
increase, as well as occur in more and larger areas.
3. How our normal lives will gradually grind to a near halt.

It is not an overstatement to say most people do not understand how

much of the stability, predictability, and success of their daily lives
(and futures) are completely dependent upon a stable temperature
range and stable climate. By and large, they take the ubiquitous
general stability of the climate for granted, almost as though it could
never change.
The global climate’s heat-controlling
systems and subsystems
Within the climate’s many systems and subsystems, there are factors
that directly and indirectly affect the overall stability of the global
climate and our temperature. One of these factors is that some
climate systems and subsystems have carbon-eating  or  carbon-
releasing qualities.

When we say something has a carbon-eating quality, we mean that it

takes carbon out of the atmosphere and helps to reduce global
warming. When we say something has a carbon-releasing quality, we
mean that it puts carbon back into the atmosphere, which causes
an  increase in global warming. The climate’s carbon-eating or
releasing subsystems, which can raise or lower the Earth's average
temperature and the climate’s stability are:

Oceans with their currents, different water temperatures,

and descending and ascending layers hold absorbed carbon or
heat. Initially, the oceans absorb carbon and help us. But when too
much carbon is absorbed, the oceans begin the process of emitting
carbon back into the atmosphere. That will raise temperatures.

Forests can either eat or release carbon based on the temperature

and other conditions. When trees die, their stored carbon is released
back into the atmosphere. Trees normally take carbon out of the
atmosphere. If certain conditions exist or it gets too warm trees will
take less carbon out of the air.

Soils can also eat or release carbon depending upon their condition

under heat variables. This is due to carbon deposits from plant life.

The carbon-eating and oxygen-producing plankton in the

oceans. If the oceans absorb too much carbon from global warming,
they become acidic—specifically carbonic acid. This acidity will
eventually kill some or all of the carbon-eating and oxygen-producing
plankton. If we kill off these necessary plankton, we will find ourselves
with insufficient oxygen in a world no one will be able to endure.

The carbon and methane-releasing volcanoes. Sustained

large-scale volcanic activity can drastically affect the environment. If
the volcano is large enough, such as with a supervolcano, the eruption
could actually cool the planet and create two or three years of nuclear
winter. Such a development creates its own extinction-level
destruction in the form of severe negative impacts on agriculture and
other living systems.
The climate also has systems that produce, reflect, or absorb heat.
These systems can also raise or lower global temperature. Some
of the climate’s heat-producing, reflecting, or absorbing systems and
subsystems are:

The total amount of heat-increasing water vapor in

the atmosphere. Atmospheric water vapor is the most important
human caused greenhouse gas increasing atmospheric temperature.
The higher the temperature, the more water vapor escapes into the
atmosphere from evaporation, turning this cycle into a vicious self-
reinforcing positive feedback loop.
 

The total amount of heat-increasing carbon and methane polluting the

atmosphere from our fossil fuel burning, fracking, big agribusiness,
and other uses.

The total area of heat-reflecting white snow and ice cover on the
planet at any one time (known as the albedo effect). This includes the
glaciers and massive Arctic and Antarctic ice packs that are heat-
reflecting.

The amount of heat-increasing methane released by tundra and

permafrost when these methane pockets thaw.

 
 

The amount of heat-increasing methane released from methane

clathrate crystals from ocean bottom sediments as ocean
temperatures rise. If this happens as quickly as scientists theorize it
did millions of years ago, we're looking at extinction. (Please click
here to watch a short video that brilliantly explains the extinction
process once we start releasing methane clathrate from our coastal
shelves. New research shows we actually begin this release process
once we reach 5°C and by 6°C it is in full bloom.) 

The temporary heat-reducing effects from volcanic soot entering the

atmosphere and reflecting some of the sun’s heat.

Slight changes in the earth’s axis position that can also

raise or lower the average global temperature range depending upon
the angle of axis shift. (6)  These temperature-affecting changes in
the earth’s axis are called Milankovitch cycles. These 21,000 to
26,000 orbital cycles have an immense effect on global temperatures.
Currently, we should be in a decreasing (cooling) phase of the cycle,
but there are too many excess greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
for the planet. (7)
What is climate destabilization?
Now that you have a quick overview of some of the systems within the
climate and how they work to increase or decrease global
temperature, it's time to look at the climate reacting as a unified
whole system.

The global climate system or its key subsystem processes can quickly
move from one fairly stable state of dynamic balance and equilibrium
into a new transitional state of instability and greater unpredictability.
Eventually, the global climate will settle at a new, but different, stable
state of dynamic equilibrium and balance, but it will be at a new level
and range (a dynamic equilibrium is not static or unchanging; it varies
within a range of some climate quality, e.g., average temperature,
average humidity). The preceding suggests that a useful and accurate
definition for climate destabilization would be:

“A transitional state of escalating global climate instability. This state

is characterized by greater unpredictability, which lasts until the
global climate eventually finds a new and different stable state of
dynamic equilibrium and balance at some different level of
temperature and other climate qualities from what it has held for
hundreds or thousands of years." —Alexei Turchin, The Structure of
the Global Catastrophe

The three degrees of climate destabilization

Climate destabilization can be said to come in in three degrees. The

three degrees defined below help individuals and organizations better
understand the relative boundary ranges and levels of threat that is
occurring or will occur based on measured increases in global
warming. The temperature, carbon ppm, and loss or cost levels
described below for each degree of climate destabilization are not
hard and rigid boundaries, but boundary ranges designed to help you
think about a set of related consequence intensities closely
associated with that degree of climate destabilization. The
temperature, carbon, cost and loss boundary levels below may be
modified by future research.

The three degrees and definitions for climate destabilization are:

Catastrophic climate destabilization is associated with a

measurement of carbon 400-450 ppm. At the estimated current 1.2
Celsius (2.2° Fahrenheit) of temperature increase, we are already in
the beginning stages of catastrophic climate destabilization.
The eventual temperature range associated with catastrophic
climate destabilization will be an increase in average global
temperature of about 2.7° Celsius (4.9° Fahrenheit). When global
warming-caused storms, floods, seasonal disruption, wildfires, and
droughts begin to cost a nation 30 to 100 billion dollars per incident to
repair, we will have reached the level of catastrophic climate
destabilization. We are already in this phase of climate destabilization.
Hurricane Sandy in New York cost the United States between 50 and
60 billion dollars to repair.

Irreversible climate destabilization is associated with a measurement

beginning around carbon 425 ppm and going up to about carbon 550-
600 ppm. The eventual temperature range associated with triggering
irreversible climate destabilization is an increase in average global
temperature of 2.2°-2.7° Celsius (4°-4.9° Fahrenheit) to 4° Celsius (7.2°
Fahrenheit).

Irreversible climate destabilization occurs when we have moved away

from the relatively stable dynamic equilibrium of temperature and
other key weather conditions, which we have experienced during the
hundreds of thousands of years of our previous cyclical Ice Ages.
Once a new dynamic equilibrium finally stabilizes for the climate in the
above carbon ppm ranges, we will have crossed from catastrophic
climate destabilization into irreversible climate destabilization.

Irreversible climate destabilization is a new average global

temperature range and a set of destabilizing climate consequences we
most likely will never recover from—or that could take hundreds or
even thousands of years to correct or re-balance. Irreversible climate
destabilization will eventually cost the nations of the world hundreds
of trillions of dollars.

Extinction-level climate destabilization. Extinction-level climate

destabilization as defined here is associated with beginning around
the measurement of carbon parts per million in the atmosphere in the
range of 600 ppm or more. The eventual temperature range associated
with extinction-level climate destabilization is an increase in average
global temperature of 5° to 6° Celsius (9° to 10.8° Fahrenheit).

Extinction-level climate destabilization is also defined as the eventual

extinction of approximately up to half or more of the species on earth
and most, if not all, of humanity. This occurs when the climate
destabilizes to a level where the human species and/or other critical
human support species can no longer successfully exist. Extinction-
level climate destabilization has occurred several times previously
during Earth's evolution.

Extinction-level climate destabilization will cost the nations of the

world hundreds of trillions of dollars and billions of lives—maybe the
survival of the human species itself. There is a possibility that
extinction-level climate destabilization may never correct or re-
balance itself to some new equilibrium level. If the climate were able
to correct or re-balance itself from this level of destabilization, it could
take hundreds, thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.
To make matters worse, every time we enter a new level of climate
destabilization, the frequency, severity, and scale of global warming
consequences will increase and everything becomes more
unpredictable.

How long carbon dioxide remains in

our atmosphere
Carbon dioxide is currently the most important greenhouse gas related
to global warming. For the longest time, our scientists believed that
once in the atmosphere, carbon dioxide remains there for about 100
years. New research shows that is not true. 75% of that carbon will
not disappear for centuries to thousands of years. The other 25% stays
forever. We are creating a serious global warming crisis that will last
far longer than we ever thought possible.

"The lifetime of fossil fuel CO2 in the atmosphere is a few centuries,

plus 25 percent that lasts essentially forever. The next time you fill
your tank, reflect upon this...[the climatic impacts of releasing fossil
fuel CO2 to the atmosphere will last longer than Stonehenge… Longer
than time capsules, longer than nuclear waste, far longer than the age
of human civilization so far." —“Carbon is forever,” Mason Inman (8)
Today’s global warming and climate
destabilization is a fatal threat to our
future
Our global climate has held many different, relatively stable states
over its 4.5-billion-year history. For hundreds of thousands of years,
our planet’s climate has moved within a fairly stable range of dynamic
equilibrium, known as the cycle of Ice Ages. This is an alternating
pattern of an Ice Age, followed by a period of receding ice.

Humanity has flourished since the last Ice Age because of the warmer,
agriculture-friendly temperatures and lack of glacial ice cover. As our
current global climate moves into a human-caused destabilization
period (from its previously stable state of the Ice Age to non-Ice Age
cyclical periods) and into a new state of dynamic equilibrium, many
rapid changes are occurring. These changes are characterized, in part,
by droughts, floods, wildfires, superstorms, and the changing of
previously established seasonal weather patterns. These changes are
now also occurring with increasing unpredictability as well as with
greater magnitude and frequency because of our continually
escalating temperature.
We are already experiencing major changes in rainfall and snowfall,
with either too much or too little at one time. These transitional
conditions will remain unstable or worsen until we have completed the
transition to a new, more stable, climate temperature equilibrium and
range.

The long-term “good” news is that sooner or later when conditions are
right, a destabilized global climate will seek to establish equilibrium at
some new level of temperature and other climate quality states. A
stable climate is generally always better than an unstable climate
when it comes to our overall global climate. But, any new equilibrium
we eventually arrive at because of increasing global warming may
not be friendly to us as humans.

Fueled by increasing population and human-caused global warming,

we have already radically increased the destabilization of our climate
and our average global temperature. The climate destabilization
process is already increasing the rates of reef collapse,
desertification, deforestation, coastline loss, wildfires, droughts,
superstorms, floods, productive soil degradation, growing season
changes, water pollution, and species extinction.

It is possible (9) we may soon tip the climate into a new, fairly stable
equilibrium quite unlike the 12,000-year Ice Age cycles we have been
experiencing for hundreds of thousands of years. The very bad news
is that billions of humans could soon be suffering and dying because
this climate destabilization will also destabilize our global financial,
political, agricultural, and social systems.

Now that you understand what global warming and climate

destabilization are, there is a simple one-click action you can take to
help improve understanding of what we are actually up against. Click
here to learn more about why the language you use when talking about
global warming is critical. (10)
A positive perspective to counter-
balance all of this bad news
Eventually, we may be able to establish a new stable global average
temperature and climate.

The long-term, big-picture silver lining is that eventually, a destabilized

global climate will seek to establish some new dynamic equilibrium.
This means that if we keep carbon ppm and global warming below
certain levels, we will eventually experience a new, stable climate and
temperature equilibrium. Stable is generally much better than unstable
when it comes to maintaining our global temperature, climate, and
civilization as we know it, but the new equilibrium might not be
suitable for humans.

science of global warming and

Summary
 Today's global warming emergency is not a natural disaster. It is a
human-made disaster.

 A small increase in average global temperature will eventually

create catastrophic change in the world.

 As global warming and climate destabilization continue, our local

and national weather, as well as our global climate, will become
much more unpredictable. Storms, droughts, floods, seasonal
disruptions, sea level rise, and wildfires are going to become more
severe, frequent, and occur at larger scales.

 As the global climate continues to destabilize, most people will not

realize their lives are also destabilizing after it is too late.

 We have already reached irreversible climate destabilization. It will

go on much longer than our human life spans. It can last for
centuries or thousands of years.

 A continually destabilizing climate due tp escalating global warming

will be the greatest disruptor of normal life that we have ever
known—exceeding even our greatest world wars. Get up there me

What is AHO – Automatic

Headlight On?
1 COMMENT

All new motorcycles and scooters that roll in to the market need to
feature AHO from April 1st, 2017 onwards.
As if the confusion about BS-III and BS-IV vehicles weren’t enough,
many two-wheeler owners are now puzzled about the new rule of AHO.
So, let’s break it down for the uninitiated.

What is it?
Most two-wheeler manufacturers term AHO as All-time Headlight On or
Automatic Headlight on system. As the name suggests, new
motorcycles and scooters which are sold and registered after April
1st, 2017 need to have the headlights on at all times. Yes, even during
the day. So, there’ll be a whole bunch of well-meaning passers-by
doing that magician-like hand-signal to remind you that the bike’s
headlight is on.
This is in compliance to a notice issued by the Road and Transport
Ministry of India. All new bikes equipped AHO will not have a button to
switch on the headlight, since it will always be on, but will only get
high-beam and low-beam buttons along with the pass switch.

Why do we need AHO?

This is a safety measure initiated by the ministry and is followed in
many international countries. The idea behind this is that keeping
headlights on throughout the day, even when the sun is nice and
bright, makes spotting two-wheelers easier on the road. So, others on
the road can see the motorcycle or scooter from a distance. It is also
helpful during tricky light conditions during dusk, dawn or in case of
sudden clouds casting a shadow.

Is there an alternative?
Many bike manufacturers have also installed DRL (Day-time Running
Lights) on their motorcycle headlights as seen on the Bajaj Dominar or
the 2017 KTM 390 Duke / RC 390. This is basically a small, but fairly
bright strip of light incorporated in the headlight console. This strip
remains illuminated even if the headlight isn’t switched on, so that the
on-coming traffic can clearly see the motorcycle or scooter
approaching.
What impact will AHO have on the battery?
To be honest, this will strain two-wheeler batteries a little more, but
without hampering the battery in any way. Most modern motorcycles
and scooters use advanced battery and alternators system, which can
comfortably manage the extra load. This will no way alter fuel
economy either. So, no need to sweat.
What about AHO on older bikes?
Well, that’s going to be strange because now there will be some older
bikes and scooters without their headlights on during the day, while
newer bikes with AHO will be beaming along with the sun. Since it’s a
safety feature (as we mentioned above), we recommend all bikes /
scooters with strong enough batteries and alternators to also keep the
headlights illuminated at all times. No one’s forcing you, but do it at
least for your safety.

We just feel that the government and the ministry for road and
transport should have raised more awareness about this. The only way
to implement a safety feature like the AHO is by educating the two-
wheeler community. Also, maybe a small request to people to stop
doing that magician-like hand gesture.

A: Global warming occurs when carbon dioxide (CO2) and other air pollutants and greenhouse
gases collect in the atmosphere and absorb sunlight and solar radiation that have bounced off
the earth's surface.

How does agriculture contribute to global warming?

Agriculture contributes to climate change both by anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse

gases and by the conversion of non-agricultural land such as forests
into agricultural land. Agriculture, forestry and land-use change contributed around 20 to
25% of global annual emissions in 2010.

What is global warming and its effects?

Global warming is projected to have a number of effects on the oceans.
Ongoing effects include rising sea levels due to thermal expansion and melting of
glaciers and ice sheets, and warming of the ocean surface, leading to increased
temperature stratification.

Which gas is responsible for greenhouse effect?

carbon dioxide
Greenhouse gases cause the greenhouse effect. The primary greenhouse gases in
Earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone.

What is the cause of climate change?

According to the IPCC, human-caused global warming is driving climate changes impacting

both human and natural systems on all continents and across the oceans. Human-
caused global warming results from the increased use of fossil fuels in transportation,
manufacturing and communications.

How does deforestation affect climate change?

Burning or cutting down trees reverses the effects of carbon sequestration and

releases greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere.
Furthermore, deforestation changes the landscape and reflectivity of earth's surface,
i.e. decreasing albedo.

What is global warming in short?

Global warming is a slow and steady rise in Earth's surface temperature. Temperatures today
are 0.74 °C (1.33 °F) higher than 150 years ago. Many scientists say that in the next 100–200
years, temperatures might be up to 6 °C (11 °F) higher than they were before the effects
of global warming were discovered.

What is pollution explain?

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse
change. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or
light. ... Pollution is often classed as point source or nonpoint source pollution.
