WHAT IS THE CLIMATIC CHANGE?

At the moment we are attending a heating of the climate. The summers are but dry, the winters but warm and the climatic but intense catastrophes. That intensity is directly related with the quantity of energy accumulated in the atmosphere.

The paradoxical of the Climatic change, of the global heating, is that it can unchain a new glaciation. There is no longer doubt that the climate of the Earth evolves in a recurrent way; at the moment we are in an era interglacial. It is simple logic that the artificial displacement toward a climate but hot it is shortening the climatic cycle, if a new glaciation was expected inside some thousands of years, this artificial displacement can bring it in less than some hundred of years or what is worse in decades.

And the worst thing is not that a new glaciation, the worst thing happens it is, I eat they already know the climatologist, that a glaciation is established in hardly 15 or 20 years. In 15 or 20 years, covered New York for 200 meters of ice, Paris, London, low Berlin a mantel of 100 meters of ice. The end of the western civilization.

With everything it, the danger of a new global glaciation is still distant, however, the danger of this Climatic change is not in that future glaciation of the Earth; the danger is near, it is in the changes in the circulation of the marine stream. These currents can be deviated and even eliminated for very well-known thermodynamic mechanisms. In short, to Europe it can affect him dramatically the modification of the Gulf Stream.

The mechanism that can modify this stream of the Gulf is simple. The reasonable warm water of the gulf of Mexico it advances toward Iceland. That current of salted water when cooling down, loses volume and in consequence its density increases, this increase of density makes him to collapse to the one to arrive in the north Atlantic returning again toward the gulf of Mexico, this time for the bottom marine; it is formed in consequence a transporter tape of heat from the gulf of Mexico toward the north of Europe. The thaw of the north pole, fundamentally of Greenland ago that this fresh water mixes with the one that arrives of the gulf, make diminish its density impeding that it collapses and in consequence weakening it and possibly stopping it. The lack of that heat it will cause a small new glaciation in Europe. The fertile ones German, French or British lands will become semi desert tundras permanently frozen. The lack of foods and fresh water will force to big migrations, the subsequent tensions will generate wars, devastation and possibly the disappearance of Europe.
