極端天氣引發全球糧食危機

2010-2012恩膏引擎全力開動!!: 極端天氣引發全球糧食危機



 

極端天氣引發全球糧食危機




糧儲續減 明年全球恐爆糧荒 
編譯組/綜合外電報導

十月十六日是「世界糧食日」,
受熱浪及旱災等反常氣候影響,
美國、烏克蘭及其他糧食出口國今年產量大跌,
使全球糧食儲備跌至危險水準,
糧價急升也令貧困地區局勢愈趨不穩。

聯合國警告,若全球糧食持續入不敷出,明年恐爆發新一輪糧食危機。
另有專家指出,糧食已成為「新石油」,農地則好比黃金,未來各國政治角力將以糧食為核心。

美國今年乾旱嚴重,當地玉米儲備僅夠三週供給,
是一九七四年以來最低,無法應付突發情況。 
全球糧食消耗量在過去十一年內有六年高於產量,
使各國糧食儲備從十年前平均足以應付一百零七日,急降至近期的七十四日。
出口國產量大減,連帶進口國也面對價格急升的難題。
全球糧價在過去十年翻倍,上月升幅也有百分之ㄧ點四,
目前小麥及玉米等主糧價格已逼近2008年造成二十五國動亂、爆發糧食危機時的水準。
 
美國地球政策研究中心主席布朗指出,氣候不再可靠,
糧食需求又因人口增長而持續上升,全球糧食供需將達臨界點。
因主糧價格急升,數百萬人轉而消耗更多牲畜,變相動用更多穀物及土地。
有機構上週警告,小麥及稻米等主糧價格在未來二十年可能倍增,嚴重威脅貧困人口。
布朗認為,糧價續升加上饑荒時有發生,將令政局更不穩,糧食及土地將成為左右地緣政治的新力量。
他補充,氣溫每上升攝氏一度,糧產就減少一成,地球溫度在本世紀將上升攝氏六度,各國政府應盡快改善全球暖化問題。
聯合國食物權利特別報告員德舒特表示,全球糧價已達危險水準,且波幅太大,應採取即時措施穩定糧價。
聯合國糧農組織(FAO)將開會,討論如何防範糧價過高,以免期貨市場爆發危機。

 =======================================

究竟是什麼導至氣候比以往數百年反常?有曾想過這種糧食失收是全球性的嗎?

這事件背後還有更深層的原因嗎? 


聖經記載當世界末時,主耶穌再來的時候,整個世界所發生的現像。

馬可13:7-8

V7 你們聽見打仗和打仗的風聲,不要驚慌。這些事是必須有的,只是末期還沒有到。

V8 民要攻打民,國要攻打國;多處必有地震、饑荒。這都是災難(災難:原文是生產之難)的起頭。

因Planet X接近引發的災難 總結2010年度的異常災難


Planet X接近引發的災難      總結2010年度的異常災難

當Planet X(這顆太陽系中不知名的第十行星)將於2012年逼近地球時,
屆時它將引發2012年前後的3至5年,有全球性災難及地球引力擾亂等現象出現。

事實上,當PlanetX來到時,為甚麼我說出這麼多現象呢?
原因是Planet X出現時,正如恐佈電影,它不但產生一件災害,
這才是可怕之處,猶如摩西十災時,再加上幾倍級數。
並且這不是發生於一天的事,它好像一宗嚴重的飛機空難事件,
以慢速鏡頭播放那樣,它會是一個三至五年的災禍。



短片總結2010年水災、洪災、旱災、反常天氣(嚴寒、高溫)、暴雪、動物群死。
究竟我們的地球,是否因Planet X的接近而被影響,令天氣、海洋、火山、
地震與生態都急速轉變?


如果以上的災難真的由Planet X引發,那麼2011年內的災難必比2010年的更加嚴重。

  下篇再續。

2012‧真相 ~ Planet X 逼近! 地球氣候出現異常變化 Planet X make the Summer of 2012 -- Too Hot

Planet X逼近,地球氣候出現異常變化,
甚至出現一日內出現了四季天氣


一些地區,因著極度酷熱天氣,
部份地區出現「沒有春天」的氣候,由冬季直接跳入夏季。

Planet X 引力對地球所造成的影響



踏入2012年,美國持續出現異常暖和與及高溫天氣,
美國氣候科學家宣佈2012年1月已成為自1776年以來,
史上第四個最暖和的1月冬季。

通常,美國全國3月的平均氣溫是華氏42.5度,
但今年平均氣溫卻是51.1度。

由於今天春天出現氣溫持續偏高,雨水偏少的異常天氣,
令美國農業存在極大隱憂。

踏入2012年7月,熱浪襲擊全美,全美三分一人受影響,
2012年8月12日,美國國家海洋及大氣管理局更公佈最新報告指出,
全美本土48州,今年7月的平均氣溫打破76年前的攝氏24.6度紀錄,
比本世紀平均溫度還要高出攝氏1.7度,是美國史上最熱的一個月。

沒有雨水加上酷熱天氣導致地土裂開,甚至燒焦變焦土,
農作物收成將出現災難性後果!

另一方面,異常乾旱氣候橫掃全球三大州農田,包括北美州、亞洲和歐洲,導致全球農作物生產出現重大危機,助長糧食危機,導致糧食價格再創新高。

The Summer of 2012 -- Too Hot to Handle?

August 3, 2012: This past June more than 170 all-time US heat records were tied or broken--many of them originally set in the historically hotter months of July and August. And with a drought plaguing much of the country, the ground is as dry and crispy as a saltine cracker. 

By early July, 56% of the contiguous U.S. was experiencing drought. That's the largest percentage in the 12-year record of the U.S. Drought Monitor. Fires scorched over 1.3 million acres across the US in June, reducing hundreds of homes to ashes in the West. 

Just imagining prospects for the rest of the summer is enough to bring sweat to your brow. And last winter is partly to blame. 

"799 daytime heat records were broken in the first five days of January in the US," says Jake Crouch, a climate scientist from the NOAA National Climatic Data Center. "Last year's was the fourth warmest winter since 1895. And it was dry, with a dearth of snowfall in many places. During most of this past winter and spring, a positive North Atlantic Oscillation pressure pattern kept the jet stream further north and the US warmer and drier than normal." 

With little moisture in the soil to evaporate and dissipate some of the sun's energy, more solar radiation is converted to sensible heat, he says.


Of course global warming is on the tips of many tongues. 

"CO2 is up from 280 parts per million in the 19th century atmosphere to almost 400 parts per million now -- a 43% increase," says NASA climatologist Bill Patzert. "We're emitting six times more carbon from fossil fuel use now than we did 50 years ago. Atmospheric CO2 hasn't been this high in 400,000 years." 

Greenhouse gasses like CO2 and methane have higher heat capacities than many other gasses, causing the atmosphere to retain more heat. 

"The atmosphere becomes a heat source itself, radiating heat back onto the Earth. 85 to 90% of that heat is absorbed by the oceans, because water has a high heat capacity. So the oceans expand and rise. Global sea levels have risen 8 inches over the past 130 years, and the average surface temperature of the entire earth (land surface temperatures plus ocean temperatures) has increased 1.6 °F. These facts," he asserts, "are unequivocal proof of global warming." 

But is the record-setting summer 2012 evidence of climate change? 


Previous heat waves in the 1930s contributed to the "dust bowl" phenomenon. In this picture, a dust storm approaches Stratford, Texas, in 1935. Credit: NOAA George E. Marsh Album "Not necessarily," says Patzert. "We've always had extreme weather. US history is written in great natural calamities -- tornadoes, hurricanes, heat waves, droughts, floods. Global warming is happening, but it would be irresponsible to say that this heat wave and all these broken records are due to global warming from human causes. It's just not that simple." 

John Christy, a scientist from the University of Alabama in Huntsville, agrees: "Heat waves are a natural part of the climate system, and while the recent heat wave was remarkable, it was not as intense as others in the past." 

He offers a few examples of past heat waves and droughts. 

"The central US suffered several heat waves in the 1930s -- the dust bowl years -- when more statewide, all-time record high temperatures were set than in any other decade. And the western US experienced decades-long droughts in the 12th century. So dry were mountain areas that we can still see near-hundred-year-old trees standing upright in the bottom of alpine lakes where they grew on dry ground 900 years ago.1 This shows that in the 12th century it was so dry and hot that the lakes dried up and allowed trees to grow over a significant period before moisture finally returned." 

Patzert and Christy are on opposite sides of the global warming debate. Patzert firmly believes that Earth is warming up and humans are the main reason why. Christy, on the other hand, argues that natural climate variations are almost solely to blame. Yet they both agree that the summer 2012 weather might be just that – weather. They also both believe that improvement is needed in models indicating effects of human and other factors on weather and climate. 

"Today's climate models are extremely sophisticated, constantly improving, and will be crucial to charting our future -- but they aren't perfect," says Patzert. 

One component that needs improvement: clouds. 

"Clouds play a key role in climate because they affect the amount of sunlight reflected and absorbed," says Christy. "We need higher resolution models to portray them more accurately. The distance between grid measurement points in current models is too great to capture meter to meter variations in clouds, land cover, and other variables that affect climate." 

One more point of agreement: the summer of 2012 is too hot to handle.
