The human created Global Warming is speeding, speeding even faster than earlier expected. The change measured since 1976 is correspondent to 4 degrees Celsius in a century, twice as much as the conclusions made by the UN - appointed IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) five years ago. This is shown in a report from the national American atmospheric association. WEEK 11 Feb 28th to March 5th
GLOBAL WARMING PROCESS ACCELERATING
«Everything on this point must be said to be preliminary. The warming seems to increase along a geometric line, and given this, we can’t say that it won’t accelerate further».
JAPANESE RESEARCH TEAM «PROMISING» EVEN FASTER INCREASE
- You ain’t seen nothing yet, says spokesmen for a Japanese research team, commenting on the news from America.- We had this increase included in our models five years ago. Since then our understanding and our models have improved significantly. Our models, as opposed to that of most research teams, do take into account the dynamic and mutual influence between ocean and land, how each factor of Global Warming is enhancing the other. For the time being our research is showing a predicted increase of between 8 and 10 degrees Celsius during a century. The increase will be most significant in Japan, Scandinavia and North America and least in the South Pacific. And we can’t even be sure that this shocking development will be the end of it. We can’t be sure of anything. Except that ice will melt, the sea level will continue to rise, storms will increase in both frequency and strength.
- It doesn’t look, not good at all.
In an interview survey on subjects randomly selected from around the world, concerning the changes in climate and the environment in general, housewife Helga Kramer currently residing in Frankfurt, Germany, has this to say:
- It’s never... quiet anymore, is it? I, for one, have to think real hard to recall a calm day or night, where the wind is not blowing. Oh, there were strong winds before, too, of course, there has always been... But not this... constant noise everywhere. And the heat... we used to have winters you know. A calm blanket of snow. The first snow could come already in October and the cold last till March. I remember snow in the end of April. It’s not my imagination, you know. I’ve heard some people say it is, that we don’t properly recall the weather in our youth, when my great grandfather says the climate and the weather has changed completely since his youth, he’s just forgetful... But I tell you I don’t buy that for a minute. It’s not difficult to sense the major changes, you know. All you have to do is listen and take a look out of the window... In my opinion some people «fail» in doing just that. And still they’re being hailed as «experts».
POLICEMEN FOUND NOT GUILTY
Four New York policemen charged with the murder of an African immigrant in February last year, are found not - guilty, of all charges, by the jury. The policemen fired 41 shots and he was hit by 19 of them. They claimed that they thought he was another person and that he was drawing a gun on them. So their lawyer preceded on self - defense, and that tactic was quite successful. The trial has been described as a farce, and as a proof of the extensive racism among the white cops and inhabitants in the city.
