Climate Change as a Global Conflict Catalyst

STRICTLY SECURITY | Unprecedented forest fires, intensified tropical storms and rising sea levels: all symptomatic of climate change. But how is the increase of the Earth's temperature going to impact society? Our Glenn Field has the story.

What kind of assenting music was THAT you put in the background at 4:30....??

One cause for the escalation of extreme weather events is simple...less trees in the tropics each year....less to absorb the suns radiation = tropical warming (NOT GLOBAL WARMING!). Higher temperature around the tropics = more moisture evaporated from the oceans producing much warmer denser and increased cloud production (hence more flooding in tropics where tree cover is more and denser ‘tropical rainforest clouds’ carrying more moisture escape the tropics as intense heat on cleared land creates lift to allow these clouds to escape the tropics on trade winds...hence cooling effect away from the tropics as cloud cover increases and increased rain and snow fall away from the tropics, whilst extra cloud cover also traps the extra heat travelling up from the trees in the tropics each year = less biomass to sequester the CO2’....As the ocean warms, the warmer seas travel north to the Arctic and south to the Antarctic...as warmer air from the tropics travels north and south.... air is warmer in the Arctic and in the Antarctic....simples!’ To make matters worse, the Amazon is sinking south and the trees in Indonesia and the Philippines are moving north with the current pole shift, helping to warm the tropics even more.

The warmer air and seas distorts the position of the jet stream pushing it north towards west Canada and north towards the UK but there is a counteractive force pushing the jet stream south at these points as a result of the increase in cloud cover escaping the Tropics which cools some areas of the ocean through reduced radiation from the sun.
