We are in a process of
global warming. Who doubt?
Very few people try do discredit the historical series of temperature. But the series with increasingly tendency of warming are backed by institutions as NASA, the Hadley Center of UK, Climatic Data Center of China, Environment Canada, India Meteorological Department, Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology, the Global Change Studies Impact Centre of Pakistan, INPE of Brazil, and so on. Thousands of scientists all world around, working with satellite information see a process of warming. And some people just claiming that a palm tree, in the past bringing some shadow to a unit of temperature measurement has grown a lot and does not bring the same amount of shadow to this point of time and some similar arguments wants to discredit the time series showing the tendency of the temperature in the last decades. There is no other rational position than to believe we are facing a global warming process.

And the global warming
has already brought a lot of effects. Who would negate the increase
in natural disasters? The increase in extreme weather events? The
first hurricane in the Atlantic South, in 2004? The twisters that are
abating on the inner part of the South America, that never knew this?
The terrible dryness in
some parts of Australia, in Africa, in the United States?
As the central
governments are worried with the causes of the global warming, as
individuals and as local governments we should also care to the adaptation
to soften the effects we feel.
Sometimes the
adaptation to climate change is obtained with very simple measures.
Think about the numbers of twisters increasing. Think about the
beautiful houses with very larges windows and very large doors for
the garages. They are nice for the strong winds of twisters to
through them way thus penetrating in your house. And the result you
know. Adaptation to Global Warming in this matter, for those who live in areas harassed by twisters, means strong small
windows, very strongly firmed on the walls, and very strongly closed.
Adaptation means also that some design may allow the external
observer to see the window as being larger, according to the present architectural tendency,
but being small as the prudence, in this case, recommend.
