Extreme weather is already commonplace – we need to increase society’s resilience and capacity
Climate warming is based on the fact that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases at the molecular level absorb the sun’s heat. Due to the spatial shape of the molecule, solar radiation energy creates potential energy between atoms as they move away from each other. This is released as movement energy and the movement of […]

Climate change today and the path from extreme disaster to sustainable balance
It finally came to this because of humanity’s greed: A couple of friends in India said that there has been no monsoon for three years and half of the palm leaves have turned yellow and died. A friend in Italy says that local people don’t go out there at all because of the scorching heat. […]

Flying and the environment – reasonable flying is not an environmental crime
Flying, including all passenger and freight traffic as well as airport infrastructure, globally causes about 2.5% of carbon dioxide emissions. Traffic causes 24-27% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions (Our World in Data; EPA). Of this, 3/4 is road traffic. Car traffic causes about 20 % of global climate emissions, in Finland and the USA […]

Methane ice clathrates and climate, the powder keg of the oceans
There are several feedbacks related to climate change that can either slow down or accelerate global warming. Climate change affects these and they, in turn, affect climate change. These include, for example, the earth’s albedo, i.e. the reflectivity of snow and ice in particular, which cools the earth by reflecting the sun’s radiation away. Warming […]

Science, economy, consumption and environmental degredation
The development of natural science is the basis for new innovations and the development of technology. The development of technology is basis for economical growth, energy consumption and population growth. The biggest single factor in economical growth is the development of techonology. All of these, economical growth, energy cosumption, population growth and the development of […]
