() Downloaded from hlayiso.com Source 1 Source 2A Case study: Consequences of global warming Climate change is with us now. We see the impacts all around us. For the vast majority of people the impact of climate change means an increased risk of losing their homes and livelihoods, more disease, less security and sometimes death. Children in the world’s poorest communities are the most vulnerable. They are already seeing the impacts of climate change through malnutrition, disease, poverty, inequality and increasing tisk of conflict — and ultimately an increase in child mortality rates. All the essential effects we are seeing now are associated with a temperature increase since 1850 of less than 1 °C. Past actions and the likely trend of emissions of greenhouse gasses over the next few years imply that another 1 or 2 °C will be hard to avoid, even with responsible action. It will be the young and the poor and developing countries, such as [in] Africa, that will suffer earliest and hardest. Pa, Our children — particularly those in Africa and Asia — are already facing a future in which it appears likely that disasters will increase in number and become more intense, where economic growth will falter and incomes fall, where disease outbreaks will be more frequent, clean water and good sanitation harder to. secure, and habitats and communities less stable. As a consequence, children may also have to cope with higher levels of conflict and other pressures which keep them out of school and force them into work too soon. Many developing countries have poor infrastructure and lack the technologies that could help them cope with a changing climate, such as flood defences and early warning systems. They are thus more vulnerable to the impact of climate change and their children are the most vulnerable of all. (UNICEF UK Climate Change Report 2008) Fro & RS

VOLCANIC LIGHTNING STRIKES ABOVE SHINMOEDAKE PEAK AS IT ERUPTS Officials in southern Japan have urged more than 1000 residents of a town near an erupting volcano to evacuate amid reports of large rocks falling in the area. Mount Shinmoe’s first major eruption in almost 200 years is sending plumes of ash and rocks kilometres into the sky. The eruption, on the southern island of Kyushu, has disrupted flights and train services and sparked warnings about another, even more powerful blast. More than 600 people have alreacly been evacuated. ; $ i | i £ t t Voicanologists say a giant lava dome on the volcano has now grown to more than 500 metres in diameter. For some people living near the volcano it is nothing more than a nuisance, but for others | it is like a biblical curse. “It’s good that it’s not hovering in the air,” a,used car lot owner said, taking a break from shovelling up the mess. “But it’s getting heavier and harder to clean up. This ash piled up on the cars will be hard to remove,” he complained, as his once immaculate lot of cars sits under centimetres of grey paste - the windscreen wipers on each vehicle sticking forlornly up in the air. Hi The mayor of Takaharu, a town near the volcano, says people have never seen Mount Shinmoe like it is. “It’s the first time the people of my community have experienced volcanic ash like this, so we are very concerned about their health,” Mitsuhiro Hidaka said. : With 108 active volcanoes, or 10 per cent of the world’s total, japan shakes precariously on the infamous Pacific Ring of Fire. ] The Japanese are wearily familiar with eruptions like Mount Shinmoe’s, but scientists warn there : could be worse to come. In the past nine months volcanologists estimate seven million cubic metres of magma have accumulated in two vast reservoirs underneath the peak and small pyroclastic | flows, or super-heated clouds of gas travelling at up to 700 kilometres per hour, have been seen | sweeping down Mount Shinmoe. The volcano’s behaviour is said to be eerily similar to its belligerent ' demeanour 300 years ago, when it belched and bellowed on and off for 18 months. : For the people living around Shinmoedake, this is just the latest biblical-style cataclysm, “Then came 2 the avian flu. Now the first eruption of the Shinmoedake volcano in 52 years. It is indeed a triple 4 blow of disasters we're suffering from now.” 4 Adapted from http://www.abe.net,au/news/stories/2011/01/31/3126199.htm — & ‘mere eacrspetteer mt REE renee ANH an oc a ee er ee ne Eh
