We have focused on some questions about climate changes to debunk some myths that are spread in public opinion. Climate changes are a very important topic that must be analyzed on the basis of scientific researches.
-
If climate changes are real, why are there still cold seasons through the years?
In fact global temperatures are dramatically increasing according to the experts. Every year temperature gap is widening towards hot weather rather than cold weather, as temperatures time-series are showing in last decades especially in Europe. -
Climate changes are just a “natural variation”?
Some might say this is true, but data show that climate changes in the last years have been caused by greenhouse gas emissions (made by human activities). In the past the earth went through hotter or colder times, but not in such a fast time. -
Is carbon capture too expensive?
There is a theory that reducing carbon levels would be so expensive that this would lead to a severe crisis of the economic system. In fact it is shown by experts that the more carbon levels are reduced the less enviromental impact would be registered. -
Should we stop travelling by plane?
Data show that if the entire world passenger aviation would be stopped, carbon levels would decrease by 3% only. -
Should we become vegan?
Meat industry and dairy products have probably a greater impact on emissions rather than vegetable products industry. But we should consider how these products are treated (eg. the impact the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides) -
Would animals and plants adapt to climate changes?
The history of planet Earth says this is very hard for that to happen on a short/medium term. Climate changes could even lead to extinction of some animal and plant species.
