Keynote Speakers on Climate Change

Discussions regarding climate change are held every now and then and they tackle topics about how these climate changes came to be. Keynote speakers will point out several reasons as to what the causes of the changes in our climate are. Of course there is carbon pollution coming from gas powered vehicles and from factories. There is chemical pollution where chemical plants and factories improperly dispose of their waste material and thus causing harm to the environment. Even the illegal cutting of trees in parts of the globe has contributed to the drastic change in climate. The causes of this unnecessary logging are flash floods landslides. Below are a couple of topics a keynote speaker tackles regarding climate change.

Increasing Heat Wave – Heat waves are striking in several areas around the globe, and are causing several casualties each year. Keynote speakers will point out several causes attributed to heat waves which are experienced just about anywhere nowadays. One major cause of this is carbon dioxide pollution which is mostly emitted from gasoline powered vehicles. As this harmful gas is released into the air they slowly seep up to our atmosphere and is slowly thinning our outer protection from direct sunlight radiation. That is why intense heat can be felt by a person should they walk around during a heat wave thus causing dehydration and brain damage which leads to death.

Weather Change – These environmental seminars and conferences hire keynote speakers to discuss about why weather changes occur and what the causes are. Have you ever experienced heavy rains during summer time? Or have experienced a tremendously intense heat wave during the months of October to December? Well this is not normal. A number of causes for these weather changes are from pollution emitted by factories, carbon dioxide from vehicles, and the unnecessary burning of garbage and other waste material.

Methane and Nitrous Oxide Pollution – Keynote speakers will also tackle about how methane pollution is considered as one of the causes of climate change today. This kind of pollution is caused by the methane produced by livestock or by and waste material from livestock. Nitrous oxide on the other hand comes from the production of chemical fertilizers. They may help in growing plants and vegetables but they emit dangerous Nitrous oxide unto the atmosphere during their production. Although they only contribute to 7% of the total pollution around the globe, it is still a significant percentage to be attended to.

Lastly here are a couple of carbon emissions from a well developed country that also contributes to pollution that causes changes in our climate. In a fairly developed country or continent like the UK their carbon emission which is caused by individuals has risen to 40+%. The breakdown of the contribution of these carbon emissions come from the energy or power used in their homes for heating during winter and in cold weather conditions, from their vehicles and public transportation even construction vehicles and mining and finally from air travel.
