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.

Japanese volcano awakens with a vengeance
By North Asia correspondent Mark Willacy Updated Mon Jan 31, 2011 9:06 pm.
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.

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
