Impact of global warming

The conference was dedicated to the 80 th anniversary of the University and to the Lomonosov readings. In this 2009 addition ASTU anniversary and preparing for the reorganization. XVIII Lomonosov readings on the innovative development of the northern territories of Russia, began on November 19 in Severodvinsk. The Deputy Governor of the Arkhangelsk region E. Kudryashov, in his address spoke about the work being done today to create a federal university, and she noted that the new university will be named MV University. Northern (Arctic), Federal University (Safa) will combine the institutions of higher and secondary vocational education. climate change - one of the most serious environmental problems facing world agriculture, trying to feed a world population which in 2050 will amount to 9.1 billion people. In developing countries, warming could lead to a slowdown in agricultural productivity by 9% -20%. "Agriculture and food production in many developing countries are particularly vulnerable to the negative influences of this global environmental problem. This applies particularly to countries with low incomes and high levels of hunger and poverty, which is already suffering from droughts, floods and cyclones, "- notes a new report from FAO. In Africa, all this may lead to increased dependence on food imports. Scientists estimate that climate change could further towards the end of XI century lead to a decrease in agricultural production in Africa by 30%.

Environmental Pollution-Kyoto Protocol

A reduction of feed and reduces fish stocks. According to research by 2050, ocean acidity to increase by 150%. The new study also claims that by the year 2100 due to increasing acidity of 70% of coral will be destroyed. Increased acidity of the ocean, according to the Executive Secretary of the Convention A. Djoghlaf, the process is practically irreversible and the damage to ecosystems can be averted only a rapid decline in CO2 emissions. Therefore, A. Djoghlaf believes that this issue should be discussed in Copenhagen. In the Kyoto Protocol, may be added to the contract, taking into account the need to improve the environmental performance of transport. This was reported yesterday by the International Union of Railways M. Sagevik. As part of the global environmental project "train from Kyoto, which is held under the auspices of the UN program for environmental protection of international environmental services is currently traveling in Russia's railways. The project started on November 5 this year in Kyoto (Japan). And later this month in Copenhagen to be negotiated political agreement to strengthen the dialogue on reducing emissions into the atmosphere.

"The current situation calls for innovative solutions. Adopted in Kyoto, the decision was not ambitious ... We hope that the Copenhagen agreement will be established, which includes an article and that the railways must be one of the most effective ways to solve environmental problems, "- noted Sagevik during his visit in Nizhny Novgorod.

"The problem of transportation is absolutely not accounted for in the Kyoto Protocol, and it was he gives a significant share of environmental pollution" - Finally, the representative noted the UIC

Environmental Pollution-2

But there is another problem - the usual rubbish that had accumulated in certain places, decomposes and releases alcohols and aldehydes, resulting in these volatile substances fall through the cellars of houses, while there they are concentrated in the 300-800 times above normal. In the air over the dump at the same time form toxins that have filtered through the soil. For the most part, they are alcohols (alil higher than the maximum permissible concentration of 600, methyl 50-fold).
In 2050, ocean acidity to increase by 150%, which negatively impact on marine ecological systems. This is stated in the report, issued today, 14 December, in the climate change conference in Copenhagen.
The report was prepared by the International Center to monitor and protect the environment, UNEP.
According to a report data, World Ocean absorbs a quarter of total CO2 that is emitted into the atmosphere due to fuel combustion, deforestation and other forms of human activity.
In the absence of this mechanism, the carbon dioxide accumulating in the atmosphere would accumulate much faster and the effect of climate warming would be more noticeable.But the absorption of CO2 at the same time and leads to increased acidity of water, disrupting the ability of some species of marine organisms to form shells and exoskeletons, which are composed of calcium carbonate.
