Climate Change and Global Warming- Hinkleman’s Simplified (well kinda) Theory
The upper atmosphere, layers of gases many miles above the surface o the earth, act as an encasement like a slightly permeable green house ceiling.
In winter this encasement acts like an insulator keeping heat from going back into space.
In summer this encasement filters the radiant heat from the sun mitigating the heat.
Pollutants are slowly chipping away at this encasement allowing colder air masses in winter and hotter air masses in summer.
Three major that this creates are:
1. Hotter and hotter summers with stinging radiant heat from the sun as filtering of the upper atmosphere decreases.
2. Colder and colder winters as the insulating effect of the upper atmosphere decreases.
3. In spring and fall it is normal for weather to be violent as these cold and hot air masses collide. However, with enhanced cold air masses and hot air masses colliding, these storms will become bigger, more violent, and last longer into summer and winter.
I am guessing that scientists speculate that heat will eventually dominate and average temperatures on earth will increase, thus the term “global warming”.
Sorry that this is not a heart warming blog but it is consistent with what I see already happening.
I guess the good news is that we have opportunities to correct this if we work smart technologically, politically and social-economically. Even this problem doesn’t exist to the exclusion of other problems. We need to work together with a step by step plan that includes surviving today while planning and working toward where we want to be tomorrow- And sticking to that plan!
