ABSTRACT

 

The fourth Assessment Report (AR4)[1] prepared by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was published in year 2007. The report anticipates that very likely the climate change is caused by Green House Gases (GHGs).

 

It is explained here that the carbonated GHG is not the major contributor to global warming and the effect is minimal. Global warming is controlled by the ocean, which related to the heat balance mechanism of solar energy and earth thermal energy. The weather is determined by the solar energy while the climate is determined by the earth thermal energy. Reducing carbon footprint will not significantly prevent global warming.

 

As analyzed by the Antarctic Vostok Ice Core [3] data and Epica Ice Core [4] data, climate change is a repetitive cycle happened far before 420,000 and 740,000 years ago respectively, where without human’s activities. Since then, the earth had gone through few cycles of glacial period with drastic change of climate. The ice core data is explained and the projection of the next interglacial warm peak period is anticipated; where more life will be diminished from now until the next warm peak period is reached.
