In 2007, there were global warming facts known that the glaciers were predicted to vanish from the Himalayas in 2035. The prediction however, didn’t come from scientists but came from a prominent Indian glacier expert quoted in a British popular science magazine. In his announcement, however he never claimed about the date.

What about the Netherlands which claimed that the country is 55% below sea level. After more researches, the fact said that it is only 26% below the sea level. The government of Dutch has acknowledged the error.

Another controversial fact tells that Amazon rainforest is getting 40% reductions. This information comes from World Wildlife Fund report without any scientific study to be declared. But the scientists, especially Amazon researchers, affirmed the number is correct.

In 2007 InterAcademy Council declared their report, entitled Lighting the Way: Toward a Sustainable Energy Future. It tells us about the pattern of energy sources and energy usage that have been supporting humanity. But, the integrity of essential natural system is already at risk because of climate change. In order to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon, human should be aware and together to solve the problem. » Read more: Around the Global Warming Facts

Threats to the Galapagos Environment

November 20th, 2011 by admin No comments »

The Galapagos Islands, located 1000km off the coast of Ecuador, have been known for their pristine environment and unique wildlife. These remote islands have been privileged with the seclusion that has allowed ecosystems to evolve in a rare and unmatched way.

However, today the islands are experiencing the effects of extreme weather events, introduced species, a fast-growing population and exploding tourism.

The endemic species to the Galapagos have survived in harmony for hundreds of years. In fact, as Darwin noted many species have become so secluded that they have evolved and adapted to the environments of individual islands. Darwin noticed this particularly with the Galapagos Finch, a bird whose beak, color, and size is different on each island.

Today, you can see a large yellow land iguana on one island and a smaller, grayish land iguana on a different island. Recently, however, new species have been introduced to the islands and are disrupting the harmony of the endemic animals. » Read more: Threats to the Galapagos Environment
