The Zapatero government continues with the double talk, speaks to combat climate change on one side and the other slowed down the deployment of photovoltaics and now hampers the thermal, technology to produce electricity from solar heat.
Via Decree dated 5 May has changed the conditions for the installation of renewable energies such as solar thermal, power prices that will compete soon in generation with conventional sources even without taking into account the externalidads such as emissions of CO2.
The industry planned to invest in Andalusia 3000 million euros. and is in tune with the so-called “green dial” proposed as an alternative to the crisis developing renewable energy and green job creation.
In 2007 renewable energy in Spain provided 89,000 direct jobs and an equal amount in inditrectos jobs
The scientific community has been warning of the risk of abrupt climate change as we approach the rise of 2 degrees Celsius in average temperature on Earth exists in the pre-industrial cliam. Today already has risen 0.8 º C, and at this point stop emitting greenhouse gases we have committed additional 0.6C issues made today.
Simultaneously warn that failure to put in place emergency measures to eliminate deep emissions have ensured the rise of 4 º C mean temperature.
The British Met Office has recently developed an interactive map following the latest published research and peer tested by the Met Office cisntificos’s own and other renowned scientists. This map reflects the changes that the rise in average temperature of 4 º C would result in different territories and ecosystems, and believes that these changes can take place about 2060 or 2070.
The map is also available in Castilian and in pdf format and want to be a tool to bring urgent relief agreements and deep in the Copenhagen meeting in December, bringing together scientists, governments and NGOs in 162 countries in meeting of the Parties Convention on Climate Change UN COP15, to replace the existing and expiring Kyoto Protocol.
The Masdar Institute, in the United Arab Emirates, plans to make fuel from crops that tolerate salt water, cultivated in the desert.
For the moment, has already begun to build a demonstration farm of two square kilometers which will combine the breeding of fish and shrimp farming and mangrove trees salicornia, a plant with seeds rich in oil that can be converted into fuel.
The aim will be to produce biofuels without using land used for growing food crops or without using large amounts of fresh water, which are two of the main shortcomings of conventional biofuels.
The technique used is the integrated farming of saltwater. In it, water is distributed from an open channel from the sea. With this water, which in some phases contain large amounts of faeces from the fish and prawn hatchery, fertilized the salicornia which will create the biofuel.

A combination of anthropogenic global warming and a moderate warming of the tropical Pacific Ocean by the phenomenon known as El Niño, makes it very likely that 2010 will be a year worldwide warmer than 2009.
Recently published data confirm that 2009 is expected to be the fifth warmest year in records dating back to 1850.
The latest forecast our climate scientists, shows global temperature is expected to be nearly 0.6 ° C above the 1961-90 average long term. This means it is more likely that 2010 will be the warmest year in instrumental record, beating the previous record year was 1998.
Earlier than that 2010 average global temperature record is not a certainty, especially if the current El Niño unexpectedly low rapidly around the beginning of 2010, or if there was a volcanic eruption. The Met Office forecasts revised during the year 2010 with available observational data.
Looking ahead, the experimental decadal forecasts from the Met Office confirms earlier indications that about half of the years 2010-2019 will be warmer than the warmest year so far observed – 1998.
The year 2009, with a provisional temperature of 14.44 ° C observed, can be compared with identical predicted value of 14.44 ° C.
The Met Office, in collaboration with the University of East Anglia, keeps a record global temperature that is used in the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Every December or January, the Met Office, in collaboration with the University of East Anglia, issues a forecast of the global surface temperature for the next year.

Between 5,000 and 8,000 years, methane emissions of both carbon dioxide and began presenting an upward trend.
It is likely that the accumulation of these greenhouse gases in the atmosphere over the last few thousand years has stopped the start of a new glacial cycle, as those who have been in constant intervals every 100,000 years during the last million years.
Each glacial period was marked by regular, predictable changes of Earth’s orbit, known as orbital variations.
Because of these variations in Earth’s orbit, although the solar luminosity is almost constant over millions of years, the average amount of radiation received by each hemisphere fluctuates, what times of extreme cold.
According to scientists, without the action of human beings today we would probably find one of those times.
As a result of many factors, the climate has changed in recent years. These changes have been perceived around the world and has allegedly affected many forms of life around the globe. Global warming is one of the names this phenomenon has received, but there are theories that speak of a global cooling problem, especially in some regions of the planet.
Usually this phenomenon is attributed to high levels of pollution that our modern, industrialized lives expel a mother nature that, despite not being alive, has managed to self-regulate, regulate and even for centuries.
Days, weeks, months and years have passed, but there seems no clear way to resolve the issue. At most, a variety of publications, some more disturbing than others, try to remind ourselves occasionally that the problem is still there and that unless we take action on the matter, we must bear the consequences for generations.
Today I decided to gather some information that is publicly available and an analysis of the topic. The first item on the list was trying to clarify what is global warming. To my surprise, I found that was a perfectly normal natural phenomenon that allows for life on the planet. To summarize, I would say that the sun’s rays bounce off a few times in and out of the planet, warming the atmosphere in the process, until finally managed to get out.

The global warming melts the ice in the Arctic. Polar bears have to hunt for ice. If the earth is becoming warmer polar bears will not survive.
Warming up
The earth is getting warmer. The average temperature in 2006 and 2007 was higher than ever in the Netherlands. This is mainly caused by man. But some scholars think that in part comes from nature itself. Around the earth is a shell of oxygen and other gases. This is called the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is one of the gases that hold heat around the Earth. Emissions from cars and planes and by waste from factories and power plants is more and more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Heat can not go out and the earth is getting warmer. This is called also called the greenhouse effect, because it works like a greenhouse.
Impact
Scientists believe that global temperatures in 2050 will be three degrees higher than now. This much is enough ice on the Arctic and Antarctic to melt. This will put more water in the seas. Sea levels are rising and more flooding. Some low areas may disappear. In some places, the more rain and storms. In other places will just always be drier. Some animals will not survive. It is too hot or too cold for them or they will no longer find food. Diseases will spread more easily.
What can we do?
To ensure that the earth can continue should anything happen. Governments try to make other arrangements to address the greenhouse effect. But this is very difficult. Some countries, the industry and the economy more important than milieu.Toch include new ways to gain real power needed by oil and gas because there is much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. With the help of sun, wind and water we can produce energy. You yourself do something for the environment. For example, try not to use too much electricity and use old stuff again.
The destruction of natural ecosystems for bio fuel production exacerbates global warming. It is because more of the greenhouse gas CO2 in the atmosphere by, warn U.S. scientists.
“If the warming of the planet is trying to limit, it is absurd to form soil to produce bio fuels,” said Joe Giorgione, researcher at the Nature Conservancy, one of the leading private environmental organizations and co-author of the study also carried out with scientists from the University of Minnesota. “All the bio fuels we use now, bring a destruction of nature with them, directly or indirectly,” said Giorgione.
The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere by converting land to make bio fuels to produce is greater than the amount of CO2 not emitted through the use of those fuels.
