But I had been focused
on climate and
humans since 1984, when I began reporting what would end up being a long
cover story for Science Digest magazine assessing nuclear winter, kind of the inverse potential
human impact on climate (global cooling from a pall of smoke rising from incinerated cities).
It would be cool to see a wide collection of maps
covering many different issues, not just
climate and food production, but, for instance, poverty and wealth, arms production and war, clothing production and leisure time, education levels, consumption, production, health, population growth and decline, movement of immigrants,
human rights, animal populations, housing ownership, housing starts, anything basically which can be measured in a visual map... not just for the US but as global maps, collected
on pages where you could drag them around to sit
on top of each other and try and make sense of the various
impacts...
«The
human impact on global
climate is small, and any warming that may occur as a result of
human carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas emissions is likely to have little effect
on global temperatures, the cryosphere (ice -
covered areas), hydrosphere (oceans, lakes, and rivers), or weather.
For a number of years now, we've been
covering the dual
impacts of
human - caused
climate change and deforestation
on the Amazon Rainforest.
