Many scientists recently say that the familiar the weather we now have to forget. For long or forever? – It’s for now is unknown. Alas, in the coming years, the Russians, and the entire population planets are definitely expecting various weather anomalies. Photos from open sources They don’t hide from the weather, not to hide. Experiments have shown that people even placed in insulated room shielded from magnetic fields, with favorable temperature, humidity, lighting and pressure, they still feel the weather changes – some start headaches pain, others hurt joints, others jump pressure. And the number here such weather-sensitive people, as scientists say, since the 30s years of the last century almost doubled! According to doctors, people react especially painfully to sudden changes in weather parameters, unfortunately, in recent years we are increasingly faced it is with extremely sharp changes in temperature and pressure, well, winds manage to change their direction in a matter of hours. Now even a cyclone is replaced by an anticyclone (and vice versa) not in 5-6 days as earlier, but in just 3-4 days … The weather has now become a fashionable topic, about it grandmothers gossip on benches at the porches, say venerable scientists and politicians, and doctors are already associated with weather anomalies even mental disorders. Most climatologists in the world see the reason global warming with all its hurricanes and weather abnormalities in emissions of greenhouse gases, mainly – carbon dioxide. Somewhere around 80% of these harmful emissions climate gases associated with fuel combustion. Contribution to the process global warming is brought by both pipes of factories and boiler houses, and campfire of a tourist, and the exhaust pipe of your car. Average the temperature on the planet is gradually increasing, and with its growth almost glaciers are shrinking on all continents. About possible the terrible consequences of global warming have already been written a lot, therefore, we will not repeat, but rather dwell on hypotheses, that do not connect climate change with human activities. Nothing is new under the moon When you hear that “for the first time in meteorological observation period temperature record, involuntarily becomes uneasy, but the head begin to visit the darkest thoughts. Of course where to get optimistic if one scientist promises that our sun is overheated and soon explode, another threatens with another flood, and the third is “encouraging” with a new ice age. However is it worth to panic and is it humanity to blame for the latest climate cataclysms? To be more optimistic about the future, recall that the period of regular meteorological observations over compared with the duration of human history is negligible, and in the past on our planet more than once the real climatic apocalypse. Victims of climatic disasters became many ancient civilizations, in particular from years of drought Mayan civilization perished. Scientists of Roshydromet E.P. Borisenkov and V. M. Pasetskiy as a result of many years of painstaking works have written a unique book “Millennium Chronicle of Extraordinary natural phenomena, “in it from Russian chronicles and various other ancient sources they collected extreme climatic events over a very long period. This book helps to understand that modern “frenzy” of the weather are not something unique, fatal and terrible. In the past, our ancestors more than once became not only witnesses, but sometimes victims of the weather anomalies. Here are just some examples. 922 year. Middle Asia. All rivers, including the Amu Darya, were covered with thick ice. 1011 years Cruel winter is everywhere, including in Kievan Rus. Froze Bosporus strait. In Egypt, ice rose on the Nile. 1066 year. Czech. From terrible forest fires in the summer was a continuous haze. Smoky stench from burning peat bogs enveloped the earth for more than 300 days. 1083 year. “Great land” on the Russian plain, fires of forests and peat bogs, steppe fires. 1110 year. Kiev. Winter thunderstorm in February. “The pillar has appeared fiery from earth to heaven, and lightnings lit up the whole earth. “1186. Europe. Unprecedented warm winter. In January, trees bloomed. 1210 year. Western Europe. Very cold winters, including in Venice, where We drove along the frozen sea in carts. 1228 year. Western Europe. Already in April, the grapes bloomed, and the harvest was completed at the end of June. 1232 year. It was such a harsh winter in southern Europe that the strait froze Bosphorus. And in the summer in Germany there was such a heat that in the sand you can had to bake eggs. 1471 year. Western Europe. Unprecedented early spring. In February, trees bloomed, as in May. Summer is hot, extremely dry. In the fall, fruit trees bloomed again. This is only part of the information. about weather anomalies, but in the history of mankind, believe me, there were quite a lot. So take what has happened with the weather in recent years something absolutely extreme, perhaps, is not worth it. We are still very few We know the causes of climate change. Suffice it to recall that 40 million years ago palm trees grew in Scandinavia, however so warm the climate in such northern latitudes in those days was clearly not associated with industrial emissions … According to several scientists, changes in climate can be associated with changes in the parameters of the Earth’s orbit, with volcanic eruptions, lowering and rising solar activity. Progress and Climate Disaster Yet completely deny the impact of industrial gas emissions on climate planets, as individual scientists do, in my opinion, are not worth it. There is such an influence, perhaps it only aggravates those or other weather anomalies, but every year the impact of human climate factor will increase, therefore, an attempt to limit greenhouse gas emissions are a must. Unfortunately, to achieve unity of all countries in the issue of emission control unlikely to succeed. Already now politicians and scientists say that such booming countries like India and China are not likely to agree to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Special this question will become acute in 2012, when the deadline Kyoto Protocol action. Failure of a number of countries to sign a new emission reduction agreement may lead to complete the failure of attempts to somehow slow down global warming. The only way out – the search for new environmentally friendly sources energy. It’s time to abandon oil, gas and coal, especially since their stocks are not endless. Otherwise, civilization may to face ultimately not only a small global flood, but also a real climatic apocalypse. Vitaliy Golubev
