Meat Main Causes Global warming | Save The World
are you yearn for all the people think the main cause of global warming are from motor vehicles, Ac freon enjoy a glass house, but that only 20%
from there on the sngat mendefinisinna from PERTENAKAN In the report of the United Nations (FAO), entitled Livestock's Long Shadow: environmental Issues and Options (Released in November 2006), the UN noted that the livestock industry is producing emissions of greenhouse gases are the largest (18%), the amount of this more than the combined emissions of all greenhouse gases in the world of transportation (13%). Greenhouse gas emissions include livestock industry 9% carbon dioxide, methane gas, 37% (pemanasannya effect 23 times stronger than CO2), 65% dinitrogen oxide (warming effect 296 times stronger than CO2), and 64% of amonia cause of acid rain. Animal Husbandry confiscate 30% of the entire surface of dry land on Earth and 33% of the land area used as a fertile field to plant feed for livestock. Animal Husbandry also the cause of 80% of the Amazon forest.
Vegetarian policy by the Government | Save the world
Be Vegetarian for reducing food prices, said Chairman of the UN climate body
Climate change negotiations in 2008 in Germany has focussed on the effects of vegetable fuel-price rise of food prices. Secretary of the Executive Committee of the UN Framework on Climate Change, Yvo de Boer, has shown that most of the increase in food prices caused by the grain used as livestock feed. Secretary de Boer said, "The best solution for us all is to become a vegetarian."

Australian senator Vegetarisme to Promote Environment
When talking about Earth Hour, Australian Senator, Andrew Bartlett in Queensland said that the electricity shut off for one hour has symbolic value. However, to deliver long-term climate change and effectively the necessary lifestyle changes. He said: "There is no way that is easier, cheaper, and faster in reducing greenhouse emissions in addition to the cut the amount of meat and milk products that we consume. This is the way that has proven benefits for both health and the environment. In addition, this can be done immediately rather than waiting for our new technologies, services, public transportation is better, or apply the use of renewable energy. How this is to save money than to menghabiskannya other ways, and this does not cause any danger to our economy. I do not say this is the only solution to the problem greenhouse gases, but it is one of the easy steps that can be made of each individual. They should not just sit still and hope the government will solve everything, or wait until advancing public transportation; they can do this attack. "Senator Bartlett also mention about the UN report said that carbon emissions from livestock animals larger than the combined greenhouse gases from all types of transportation. Furthermore, he said: "We can not continue to sit back and wait for the government, technology or the market to overcome these problems and lean with their efforts ... we also must acknowledge ilimiah the fact that, in fact, if we do not cut the consumption of animal products, then opportunity for us to stop climate change is almost not there. "

Talking about impressions of carbon, the World Environment Day on the Taiwan public to apply the new eating habits to reduce carbon emissions, including a promise to try a diet without animal products is low carbon. More than 1.2 million people in Taiwan, including government officials have pledged to help reduce carbon emissions by switching to vegetarisme that means eating patterns without animal products, to remove at least 1.5 million tons of carbon emissions from the atmosphere each year.

I have bervegetarian during the two months since Earth Day on 22 April. I do this to protect the Earth at least once their lives, especially the life of small animals that are also important. After a vegetarian, I feel healthy and berenergi. Meat animals spend more energy during the process of raising animals for food. For example, cattle, goats and pigs, and they waste food for them actually spend a lot of energy and natural resources. Therefore, the cut of meat consumption means to protect the Earth.
Chen Tien-Wen, Taichung City Council Vice-President:
Now, I eat vegetarian diet 6 days a week. I ordered my secretary to buy lunch with some vegetable dishes and bowl of rice.
Tseng Chao Jung, Taichung City Councilman, Formosa (Taiwan):
I encourage everyone to apply vegetarian diet. For example, all my colleagues in the office is a vegetarian. We are all vegetarian. Let us fight together to keep the Earth's environment.

French Health Minister said: "Eat more fruits and vegetables. Continuing a campaign similar to last year, France is now encouraged citizens to better health by increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables to five portions each day. Together with the Board of Health and National Education (INPES), the Ministry of Health launched the campaign in the informative TV and other media channels. Poll recently showed that the level of obesity increased in France because very few people consume fruits and vegetables. "

The report states that: "More than a third of all grain harvested animals into food. Is it rational? Why do not we produce less meat and reduce the harvest given to livestock that is available for grain to feed more people? "Reports that ended with the two main suggestions for Sweden and Europe: First, remove subsidies so that the price of meat in the meat market reflect the cost of the actual environmental damage. Second, encourage the community to the modern diet is vegetarian diet.

Global warming | save the world
Global warming is the process of increasing the average temperature of the atmosphere, ocean, land and the Earth.
Temperatures average global surface on Earth has increased by 0.74 ± 0:18 ° C (1.33 ± 0:32 ° F) during the last hundred years. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that "most of the increase in average temperature worldwide since the mid-20 century to the most likely caused by increased gas-concentrations of greenhouse gases due to human activities" [1] through the greenhouse effect. This basic conclusion has been raised by at least 30 scientific and academic bodies, including all the national science academies from the G8 countries. However, there are still some scientists who do not agree with some conclusions that the IPCC.
Climate models that project as a reference by the IPCC indicates the global surface temperature will rise 1.1 to 6.4 ° C (2.0 to 11.5 ° F) between 1990 and 2100. [1] The difference is due to the number estimated by the use of different scenarios on emissions of the gas - greenhouse gases in the future, and models of climate sensitivity that is different. Although most research focused on the period up to 2100, the increase in home heating and the sea water is estimated to continue for more than a thousand years, although the level of emissions of greenhouse gases have been stable. [1] This reflects the large heat capacity of the oceans.
Increasing global temperature is predicted to cause changes such as increasing sea surface water, increasing the intensity of extreme weather phenomena, [2] and change the number and pattern presipitasi. Effects of global warming, which is terpengaruhnya other agricultural products, the loss of glacier, and the extinction of various species of animals.
Some things are still dubious of Sciences is the estimated amount of warming that will occur in the future, and how warming and the changes that occur will vary from one region to other areas. Until now, there was still political and public debate in the world about what, if any, action should be taken to reduce or reverse the warming more information or to adapt to the consequences of. Most states in the world have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol, which led to the reduction of gas emissions, greenhouse gases.
Global Warming temperatures are increasing the average atmosphere, sea and land Earth. Global warming is caused by them were "Greenhouse Effect" or that we know with greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases caused by the increase in the concentration of gas carbon dioxide (CO2) and other gases in the atmosphere. Increase the concentration of CO2 gas was caused by increased burning of fuel oil (fuel), coal and other organic fuel that exceeds the capacity of vegetation and sea to mengabsorbsinya.
The term greenhouse effect, taken from the planting methods used by farmers in the region are climate (the country has four seasons). The farmers used to plant vegetables or flowers in the greenhouse to keep the room temperature stays warm. Why use glass materials that clear? Because of the nature of material that can tertembus sun. From the incoming light, will dipantulkan back by the object / surface in a glass house, when dipantulkan ray is changed into heat energy in the form of infrared rays, more energy is trapped in a glass house. Likewise one of the functions of the earth's atmosphere as the greenhouse. As a simple Illustration about the warming occurrence of the Global please CLICK HERE
To prevent and reduce emissions of carbon dioxide gas, greenhouse gases and encourage the birth of the Kyoto Protocol. Negotiated in Kyoto Japan in December 1997, opened for signing 16 March 1998 and closed on 15 March 1999. This agreement takes effect on 16 February 2005, after formal ratification by Russia on 18 November 2004.
Up to 23 October 2007 are 179 countries that ratified the Kyoto Protocol, the list of countries you can see here. There are four countries that have signed but not ratified the Kyoto protocol, namely, Australia (not interested ratified), Monaco, the United States is the largest producing greenhouse gases is also not interested to meratifikasinya, and the rest Kazakstan. But after the recent Australia meratifikasinya towards the climate change conference in Bali, the United States live alone as a major industrial countries that have not meratifikasinya. Other countries that have not provided the reaction is Afghanistan, Andorra, Brunei, Rep.

Dry and wet snow is visible as if seen for the first time. But the wet snow and freezing snow to the back, have a level of absorption of radiation rays of the Sun is higher, and only 50-60 percent to reflect the atmosphere. Meanwhile, dry snow, reflect back 85% of sun radiation. In other words, the snow melt will absorb 3-4 times the energy compared to the same dry snow. This will give a big impact on the supply of energy on Earth.
Snow melting in Greenland gives a very broad layer of ice that continue to diminish and the high seas and in the world. Some of the water generated from melting snow that also will flow into the glacier through the fault and fault-groove vertical hole (Moulin), and then reached the rock layer underneath and melubrikasi (lard, melt) layer of ice over.
Observation and studies conducted previously by Jay Zwally and Waleed Abdalati of NASA Goddard show, the melt water in the summer on the basic layer of ice can increase the movement of ice and caused the increase in ocean levels (high and inside) very quickly. This phenomenon will accelerate global warming.

Vegetarian, So Now Lifestyle | save the world
Thursday, 10 July 2008 | 19:50 WIB
YOGYAKARTA, THURSDAY - Being a vegetarian is a lifestyle, not related to the flow of a certain religion. The main reason for becoming vegetarian is usually the sake of health. However, in some countries, was the reason for the move into the environment and ethics.
Meanwhile in Indonesia, as mentioned by the Coordinating Center for Energy Studies University of Atma Jaya Yogyakarta (UAJY) Prasasto Satwiko, many vegetarian considered related to certain religious teachings. Has not been seen as a lifestyle.
Vegetarian new nation in developed countries now place the environment and ethics as a reason, he said Thursday (10 / 7). Environment is used as a reason because of the use of energy to produce meat is very expensive and damaging nature.
While the ethics related to the human animal as it should respect each other. In the frame of humanity, animals should not be treated haphazardly. Attitude haphazardly, including the killing of animals are nefarious, will berimbas to the behavior.
Lifestyle is not about who smakan vegetables and fruit because I like to buy or consume meat. "But about the people who eat vegetables and fruit because they like and benefit," said Prasasto which is also vegetarian.
The process of killing the animal and human keterbiasaan see animals suffering, especially animal consumption, little more impact on behavior. The fact prove more people vegetarian can maintain emotional stability rather consume the meat.
Vegetarian lifestyle, delivered Prasasto, in the last few years, has become a trend in developed countries such as Britain and New Zealand. However, a unique, New Zealand is a country of meat exporter to many countries, including Indonesia.

Save Energy? Be Vegetarian | save the world
Energy and food crisis are to advance across the earth. Want to energy efficient? One of them are with a vegetarian or at least reduce the sources of animal food. What is art? Because the material foods of animal appeared to need more energy consumption in the production of food and suplainya than vegetable.
Currently $ 19 energy consumption in the United States (U.S.) used to produce and supply food, so said David Pimentel and colleagues at Cornell University in the journal Human Ecology. Food products of animal and junk foods require more energy in production compared with vegetables, fruit and rice. To make a hamburger tangkup only requires at least 1,300 gallons of water, so according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Studies conducted by scientists, the origin of the University of Chicago, Gidon Eshel and Pamela Martin said that a vegetarian is very effective in saving energy.
"By reducing junk foods and eat less meat, the United States can contribute to the large consumption of fuel and improve their own health," said Pimentel.
Porsi Kecil
Sementara itu bagi mereka yang bermasalah dengan kebiasaan makan, tenang saja. Kelak manusia akan makan dalam porsi lebih sedikit. Mengapa? Biaya bahan pangan dan sumber energi yang terus membengkak akibat pemanasan global akan membuat manusia makan lebih sedikit.
Setidaknya itulah prediksi ilmuwan University of Illinois terhadap mendongkraknya harga makanan di masa mendatang. Selain menghemat, mengurangi porsi makan dilakukan demi kesehatan juga. Biaya perawatan kesehatan yang juga membengkak, membuat orang terpaksa menganut gaya hidup sehat dengan diet.
Ingin berkontribusi dalam menghemat energi? Mungkin bisa mulai mencoba diet. Asal tidak sampai kekurangan gizi saja.
