Let’s Celebrate Earth 2018 by picking up trash!!!!!

As we embark on Earth Day 2018, I thought I would devote a technical and Technology post to the concepts of climate change. First off, there is a great misnomer that people use to discrete the scientific communities assessment of Climate Change, the previously used Global Warming concept. It is used incorrectly because someone says it is colder here today than yesterday global warming is a myth.

Global warming refers to the average temperature of the entire planet, not one specific place. The law of large numbers tells us that anyone place will always be different (higher or lower) than the average. What humans should hear is the words climate change. Climate change is a much different Earth Day Problem. It is, as former Vice President Al Gore said in his award-winning video, an Inconvenient Truth. Inconvenient in that it is colder in DC today than it was this time last year. This of course brings the argument:  “Therefore, global warming is a myth, and this climate change crap is a myth as well right!” Wrong. Climate change is seen more in the fact that we have had 100-year floods and 100 year storms every year in the past five years. The reason a 100 year flood is called a 100 year flood is that it happens every 100 years. We’ve had five, in the past five years.

Climate change is something that humans need to worry about. First, the agricultural impact of climate change may impact humans significantly. The world has both lands that can be farmed that land that cannot be farmed. The rich soil of the land that can be farmed allows for the production of food quickly. The less hospitable locations don’t have rich soil. IF the temperate zone changes and the worlds agrigrucalal areas no longer can support growing food effectively, we will suddnely be farming on sand. Sand is great for tomatoes, but wheat and soybeans don’t grown well in sand.

Today being Earth Day, go outside, enjoy the earth. But while you are out, pick up two pieces of trash and properly dispose of them. Don’t throw out that water bottle you are drinking from, refill it and use it again. Help reduce the impact of humans on mother earth before it is too late.

  1. A very important message for all to read. And I never buy the plastic bottles, they should be banned as they also kill many animals. Thanks for this reminder.

  2. We all need to have habits to keep nature and earth clean. Perhaps there are people who throw in their houses on the rubble floor. Not in the designated place, that is, in the garbage can. They do not have the necessary habits, so they do it outside of their own homes.
