New challenges in the global climate change
Challenges of climate in the 21st century
President John F. Kennedy has been assumed that "reality can not be debated in this era is: we can not separate from each other and the vulnerable on this planet." 2 He said so in 1963, the period of peak of the Cold War context and the consequences of the missile crisis in Cuba. World at that time living in the specter of nuclear incinerators. Four decades later, actual argument, not the era we are now is the black shadow of the phenomenon of climate change. Phantom that compels us to face the same disaster song. Disaster first is immediate danger to human development. Climate change affects all people in all countries. However, the poorest suffer most heavily affected. They stand in the position to suffer direct harm - and they have less ability, resources to withstands the most. Disaster is not a distant prospect.
The disaster is going to slow the progress of implementation of the Development Goals Millennium Development (MDG) and deepening inequalities within each country and between countries. If not resolved, it will cause setbacks in human development throughout the 21st century.
Monday is the catastrophic future. Like the risk of nuclear confrontation during the Cold War, climate change poses challenges not only for the poor, but for the entire planet - and for future generations. The way we're going is one-way streets leading to ecological disaster. There are still many things not known definitely heat up speed, the exact timing and morphological effects, but the risks associated with the real situation of large ice sheets on Earth are on a fast melt out, heat of the oceans increases, the tropical forest ecosystems damaged and the consequences can happen ... other, the risk is completely true. These latent ability which raises the process could change the geography and natural humanity on our planet.
We have positive signs. Five years ago, the doubts about climate change phenomenon is still very popular. Skeptics on climate change are large companies generously sponsor, was quoted extensively in the media and some government listens intently, so creating undue influence to awareness and understanding of the public. Today, every credible scientist in the field of climate is that climate change is real, is a serious problem related to the emissions of CO2. Governments around the world also share that opinion. Consensus on the science angle does not mean that the debate around the causes and consequences of global warming has ended: the science of climate change science is the ability not to things sure. But at least from this political debate comes from scientific evidence.
The problem here is too big a gap between scientific evidence and political action. So far, most governments are not effective measures to mitigate the impact of climate change. Most governments have to move before the assessment report was published last Wednesday's recent Intergovernmental Committee on Climate Change (IPCC) by recognizing that evidence of climate change is "authenticity" and that should immediately take action. Consecutive meetings of the group of industrialized countries have developed G8 reaffirmed the need to apply specific measures. They are aware that the boats are carried to an object similar to an iceberg drifting to terrifying. Unfortunately they have not proposed an act decisively to avoid the iceberg by outlines a roadmap for emissions of greenhouse gases.

Could clearly feel that the time is not much longer. Climate change is a challenge must be resolved during the 21st century. Current not find technology solutions can deliver immediate results. But long-term perspective is also no room for subtlety and lack of assertive. In an effort to find a solution, the government faced problems related to traffic and reserves in the carbon budget of the world. Increasing greenhouse gas emissions by increasing. However, even now tomorrow we can stop all types of gas emissions into the environment, the reserves of CO2 is only reduced by very slowly. The reason is: once emitted, CO2 in the atmosphere for a long time and the climate system response is very slow. In fact ytu natural climate system and it also means there will be a very long time delay between the lowering of carbon today with the results in terms of the climate of tomorrow.
Door to the chance of success in the reduction is gradually closed. Earth can absorb carbon dioxide to a certain limit without causing the dangerous impacts of climate change - and we're approaching that limit. We are still nearly a decade to ensure that the chance that the door has not completely closed. That does not mean that we have a decade to decide whether to act and not to plan. It means that we have a decade to move gradually into the power system less carbon. There is a certainty in the field full of uncertainty is, if evolutions decades as the past decade, the human race will be tied tightly to a "double disaster" that could have been avoided : setbacks in human development in the immediate period and the risk of ecological disaster for future generations
