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

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.

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.
