Welcome to my blog story

ABOUT THE USE OF THIS BLOG

LET ME EXPLAIN THE PURPOSE OF THIS BLOG. WE WANT TO USE THIS BLOG TO WRITE A DIARY OF THE LIFE OF OUR NEWBORN BABY RAFAEL, WHENEVER THERE ARE THINGS TO SAY ABOUT HIM. BECAUSE BLOGS NEED TO BE ACTIVE TO ATTRACT VISITORS, WE WILL ALSO WRITE AN OLD MAN LIFE STORY, WHICH IS THE LIFE STORY OF HIS GRANDFATHER. THIS OLD STORY CAN BE USED TO COMPARE IT WITH THE NEWBORN BABY STORY, YOU SEE TODAY THINGS CHANGE VERY QUICKLY AND IT COULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE. WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO PASTE LINKS LIKE BABY SONGS TO MAKE IT MORE BABY FRIENDLY.

The best way how to use this blog, just click on any links that you find in this blog.

THIS BLOG HAS BEEN OPENED TO HOUSE ALL SORTS OF ISSUES ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGES, IT IS OPEN FOR DISCUSSION TO THE PUBLIC, SO ANYBODY CAN COMMENT ON IT, IF AND WHEN THEY HAVE SOMETHING USEFUL TO SAY. THERE WILL BE ALSO SOME GARDENING DISCUSSIONS HOW YOU CAN HELP BY HAVING YOUR OWN BACKYARD KITCHEN GARDEN

Welcome to my blog, Mother Nature Challenge
and this post, Environment will change

On the Yahoo news today was reported that because of the global warming there will be adverse changes in the environment, hereunder is a copy of the report:

Conserving Australia's environment as it is today will become increasingly impossible as the world warms, so governments should instead focus on managing environments as they change, the CSIRO says.

A new report, released on Tuesday, says the impact of climate change on plants, animals and ecosystems will be "significant" by 2030 and "extreme" by 2070.

"This is likely to see the emergence of new environments and the disappearance of many existing environments," the CSIRO study states.

"The general pattern of change in vegetation is likely to be a decline in the area of environments that now favour trees and an increase in more arid environments favouring open woodlands, chenopod shrublands and grasslands."

Some species will persist where they are now geographically but their numbers will change.

Others will prosper in new regions and die out in others as climate change takes effect.

The report says current thinking about conservation - to preserve species and communities in their historical locations - will need to change.

"This paradigm of conservation will become increasingly unachievable and less effective for guiding conservation investment and actions," it states.

Instead there should be a preparedness to manage "inevitable change in order to minimise the loss of values associated with biodiversity".

A new concept of "dynamic biodiversity" could see a focus on the existence of species rather than their abundance and distribution.

The health of ecosystems could be the objective rather than fighting to preserve their existing composition and structure.

Australia's national science agency suggests the species-by-species approach will be more difficult to manage with a dramatic rise in the number of species vulnerable to extinction.

It could be a matter of "conserve the stage not the actors".

"Many of the environments our plants and animals currently exist in will disappear from the continent," lead researcher Dr Michael Dunlop said in a statement.

"Our grandchildren are likely to experience landscapes that are very different to the ones we have known."

We all hope that somehow our scientists find a way to minimize the adverse effects that this change will bring.
