The Good And Bad Effects Of Greenhouse Gases To Human Activities

Posted on May 16, 2013 by Pat

Since the start of the Industrial Revolution, the burning of fossil fuel had contributed to a forty percent increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Although the uptakes of a large portion of the emissions by various natural sinks involved in the carbon cycle.Anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions (i.e., emissions produced by human activities) that comes from combustion of carbon based fuels, primarily the wood, coal, oil, and natural gas. Today, global warming has been affecting our environment around the world and it was due to the tem called “greenhouse gas”. So what is a greenhouse gas? And what is its effect to the environment and the people? Greenhouse gas which sometimes abbreviated as GHG is a gas in the atmosphere that absorbs and releases radiation within the thermal infrared range. This process is the primary cause of the greenhouse effect to humans and all living organisms. The fundamental greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere are carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, water vapor, methane and the ozone. If these are the types of gases produce by the atmosphere of the Earth then it will greatly affect human activities around the world.

At some point, let us understand the fundamentals of greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide and abbreviate as (CO₂). Fossil fuel usage is the primary source of CO₂. The way in which citizens used land is also an important source of CO₂, especially when it involves deforestation. Land can also take away CO₂ from the atmosphere through reforestation, soil improvement, and other activities. Nitrous oxide which is also abbreviate as N₂O, affect that agricultural activities, such as fertilizer use, are the primary source of N₂O emissions. Fluorinated gases (F-gases) in the industrial processes, refrigeration, and the use of a variety of consumer products contribute to emissions of F-gases, which include hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆). Methane (CH₄), in agricultural activities, waste management, and energy use all contribute to CH₄emissions. Black carbon (BC) is a solid particle or aerosol, not a gas, but it also contributes to warming of the atmosphere.

After all the effects of greenhouse gases to our health and to the environment, the truth is we could live without it. It has been part of our daily activities ever since the start of revolution around the world. This effect of greenhouse gases had been associated by global warming which in fact tell us that there are different gases that exist in the Earth’s atmosphere. It might hurt and affect the living organism but it just makes our environment a good place to live a few crises to face on.

How To Tackle Global Hunger

Posted on February 1, 2013 by Pat

There are many problems that confront the current generation around the world. One of these problems is global hunger. The reason there is such a problem in the world can be based on the fact that individuals within a certain community will lack the capacity and capability to purchase food or grow food. There are many complex reasons that are tied to one another but basically, poor planning by certain governments around the world as well as changing weather patterns all contribute towards problems such as world hunger.

Basically, there is the capacity around the world to produce enough food to feed the entire population. However, not many governments give these opportunities fair amount of time and attention as should be the case. The United Nations advices governments to allocate about 15 percent of GDP to agriculture so as to enhance the growth of food crops. However, the advise is not always followed and many nations lack the capacity to grow their own food. This results in hunger problems as the farmers will lack enough capital to grow their own food, enough money to purchase farm inputs, fertilizer and quality seeds with high yields.

When such problems arise, then there will be hunger within the nation and when the problem repeats in many countries then there will be global hunger. This will mean that large numbers of people around the world will not have sufficient food and many will not have a square meal three times per day. These problems are prevalent in continents such as Africa and Asia. Sub Saharan Africa is badly affected and the problem mainly arises out of corruption and poor governance. These problems need to be addressed on a global forum with major organizations providing information as well as resources on modern methods of agriculture and funds for purchase of farm inputs.

Important Facts About Global Health

Posted on January 18, 2013 by Pat

Global health is simply the health of populations in a global context. According to analysts, global health normally focuses on improvement of health, reduction of disparities and protection of the entire human race from global threats. In this particular case, the area of study, research and practice is normally not limited by national borders. The following facts can help you have a better understanding of global health as a whole.

To begin with, there are about one billion people around the world who cannot access the basic health care facilities. Many people are overweight and the health of the USA is dwindleing. Many doctors have been suggesting the use of a garcinia cambogia as a way to start getting rid of fat. Despite this problem being recognized by developed nations and healthcare organizations, very little has been done. In the 1970s for example, the WHO began a health campaign popularly known as the ‘Health for All’ campaign which focused on helping everyone access basic health care facilities by the year 2000. 30 years down the line, this particular campaign is still far from realization.

Secondly, it is important to note that infectious and parasitic diseases are considered to be the leading causes of global deaths. According to research which was carried out in 1997, from a total of 52 million deaths, about 17 million were caused by parasitic diseases. The research further showed that 15 million people died from circulatory diseases while 6.2 million died from cancer. Other common causes of death according to the research included respiratory diseases and prenatal conditions.

HIV/AIDS is considered to be one of the biggest health hazards to children in the current century. Analysts believe that if nothing is done in the near future, this particular health complication can easily reverse the major gains made in the last 50 years. In addition, many of them believe that this infectious disease will continue to dominate developing countries for a good number of years due to the adoption of the ‘western’ lifestyles and their accompanying risk factors.
