The Impact of Global Warming on Our Planet

We've experienced gradual global warming throughout Earth's 4.54 billion-year history. The Earth's average temperature has fluctuated significantly resulting in "Ice Ages" and "Interglacials." Today's global warming, however, is an unprecedented type of climate change. From changes in sea level along heavily populated coastlines to the worldwide retreat on glaciers, global warming is driving a cascade of side effects. These issues are likely to have a much greater impact on society than temperature change alone.


The Effects of Global Warming 


Whether you believe the increased effects of global warming are caused by humans or not, the phenomenon of excess heat building up in the Earth's atmosphere is occurring.  The importance and understanding of this is relation to our daily lives and economies is crucial. Sea levels are rising, we're experiencing an intensified water cycle and stress is being put on our plants and animals. People depend on glaciers for drinking water and agriculture. Those living along the coastlines are experiencing more and more flooding. Sea level rise also increased the acidification of the ocean, which disrupts ocean life. Other problems include increased disease, more pests, agricultural failure, and the list goes on. If not addressed and acknowledged, we could see major impacts to life on Earth. 

Extreme Weather Events


Some people are skeptical of the impact of global warming because there's been an increase in harsh winters. What many people fail to realize is that warming is consistent with climate changes such as increased precipitation. In some cases, these weather patterns can become extreme. From the drying of land and a decrease in the ice mass of glaciers to massive flooding and hurricanes, temperature change is involved. We need to be educated on the impact of global warming, and be prepared for unexpected extreme weather events.

Understanding Hydrophobic Soils

Last year, California saw what has been considered the worst wildfire season on record! Unfortunately, those wildfires aren't the only thing people in those areas of California need to be concerned with. Those wildfires lead to what is known as "hydrophobic soils," which can lead to flooding and mud flows. Keep reading to learn more about hyrophobic soils and why people in California and other wildfire prone areas need to be prepared and have flood protection on hand. Hydrophobic Soils  Hydrophoic soils are just what they sound like, soils that "fear" water. This condition causes water to collect on the surface rather than infiltrate into the ground. The main cause of hydrophobic soils is wildfires. These soils are created when hydrocarbon residue is created after organic material is burnt. That then soaks into empty pore spaces in the soils, making it impervious to water. While this condition is temporary, it can increase water repellency, surface runof...
