or just changes in the atmospheric environment. 1.)The sun cycles. 2.)The recent contribution by humans and the industrial revolution with the production of pollution of material and gases-CO2 and more. 3.)The extreme rare
The first chemical weapons used in World war i were released gases from canisters. Today chemical weapons are carried typically liquids in bombs or shells.
Technically this means they aren't gases; they're liquid aerosol with droplets carried through the air.
At the 1899 Hague Convention signatories agreed to not use Asphyxiating or Deleterious Gases. Germany France and the UK broke this agreement during WWI.
First Use by The french Although it is believed popularly that the German army was the first to use gas it was deployed in fact initially by The french.
It signalled in fact the first use of chlorine gas on the battlefield. Ironically its use ought not to have been a surprise to the Allied troops for captured German soldiers had revealed the imminent use of gas on the Western Front.
Their warnings were passed not on however. The effects of chlorine gas were severe. Within seconds of inhaling its vapour it destroyed the victim's respiratory organs bringing on choking attacks.
For a memoir of the first gas attack click here. A Missed German Opportunity Panic-stricken The french and Algerian troops fled in disorder creating a four-mile gap in the Allied line.
Had the Germans been prepared for this eventuality they could potentially have effected a decisive breakthrough. However the results of their experiment caused as much surprise to the German high command as confusion among their opponents.
Condemnation-and Escalation The Germans'use of chlorine gas provoked immediate widespread condemnation and certainly damaged German relations with the neutral powers including the U s. The gas attacks were placed to rapid propaganda use by The british
although they planned to respond in kind. The attack had one clear benefit at home however for it brought to an end German hesitancy (and disagreement) over its use.
Raising Special Gas companies in the wake of the Germans'April attack (of approximately 1400 men) operating under the command of Lieutenant-colonel Charles Foulkes instructions were given to prepare for a gas attack at Loos in September 1915.
Instead they referred to their gas canisters as accessories; use of the word gas brought with it a threatened punishment.
On the evening of 24 september 1915 therefore some 400 chlorine gas emplacements were established among The british front line around Loos. The gas was released by turning a cock on each cylinder.
British Setback at Loos The retaliatory attack began the following morning at 5. 20 am.
A mixture of smoke and chlorine gas was released intermittently over a period of about 40 minutes before the infantry assault began.
However releasing gas from cylinders in this manner meant that the user had to be wary of wind conditions.
and quantities of the smoke and gas were blown back into The british trenches. It has been estimated that more British gas casualties were suffered that morning than German.
and Germany-suffered similar self-inflicted gas reversals during 1915. It became apparent that if gas was to be used a more reliable delivery mechanism was called for.
In consequence experiments were undertaken to deliver the gas payload in artillery shells. This provided the additional benefits of increasing the target range as well as the variety of gases released.
Phosgene Following on the heels of chlorine gas came the use of phosgene. Phosgene as a weapon was more potent than chlorine in that
while the latter was potentially deadly it caused the victim to violently cough and choke. Phosgene caused much less coughing with the result that more of it was inhaled;
it was adopted consequently by both German and Allied armies. Phosgene often had delayed a effect; apparently healthy soldiers were taken down with phosgene gas poisoning up to 48 hours after inhalation.
The so-called white star mixture of phosgene and chlorine was used commonly on the Somme: the chlorine content supplied the necessary vapour with
Mustard gas Remaining consistently ahead in terms of gas warfare development Germany unveiled an enhanced form of gas weaponry against the Russians at Riga in September 1917:
Protection against mustard gas proved more difficult than against either chlorine or phosgene gas. The use of mustard gas-sometimes referred to as Yperite-also proved to have mixed benefits.
Other types of gases produced by the belligerents included bromine and chloropicrin. The french army occasionally made use of a nerve gas obtained from prussic acid.
However three forms of gas remained the most widely used: chlorine phosgene and mustard. The German army ended the war as the heaviest user of gas.
It is suggested that German use reached 68000 tons; The french utilised 36000 tons and The british 25000.
Diminishing Effectiveness of Gas Although gas claimed a notable number of casualties during its early use once the crucial element of surprise had been lost the overall number of casualties quickly diminished.
Indeed deaths from gas after about May 1915 were relatively rare. It has been estimated that among British forces the number of gas casualties from May 1915 amounted to some 9 per cent of the total
-but that of this total only around 3%were fatal. Even so gas victims often led highly debilitating lives thereafter with many unable to seek employment once they were discharged from the army.
In large part this was because of the increasing effectiveness of the methods used to protect against poison gas.
Gas never turned out to be the weapon that turned the tide of the war as was predicted often.
Protection Against Gas The types of protection initially handed out to the troops around Ypres following the first use of chlorine in April 1915 were primitive in the extreme. 100000 wads of cotton pads were manufactured quickly
By 1918 soldiers on both sides were prepared far better to meet the ever-present threat of a gas attack.

We also need to reduce non-CO2 greenhouse gases to lessen the likelihood of us crossing this climatic threshold.#
By reflecting the latest estimates of greenhouse gas emissions on the basis of a life-cycle
In addition to reducing direct methane emissions from ruminants cutting ruminant numbers would deliver a significant reduction in the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production of feed crops for livestock they added.#
#Among agricultural approaches to climate change reducing demand for meat from ruminants offers greater greenhouse gas reduction potential than do other steps such as increasing livestock feeding efficiency or crop yields per acre.
and methods to inhibit production of the gas during digestion. International climate negotiations such as the UNFCCC have not given#oeadequate attention#to greenhouse gas reductions from ruminants they added.
The Kyoto Protocol for example does not target ruminant emissions from developing countries which are among the fastest-growing ruminant producers.

One way to slow climate change is to increase the number of trees On earth as they through photosynthesis take up the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide converting it to carbon products
and the amount of greenhouse gases they produce. The study produced by scientists at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO)
Greenhouse gas emissionsscientists also sought to calculate the amount of greenhouse gases livestock are releasing into the atmosphere
They modelled only the emissions linked directly to animals--the gases released through their digestion and manure production.
and the amount of greenhouse gases released for every kilo of protein produced something known as emission intensity.
and environmental risks notably greenhouse gases produced by the energy and transport services needed for industrial livestock production
For example the low livestock feed efficiencies and high greenhouse gas emission intensities in Sub-saharan africa are determined largely by the fact that most animals in this region continue to subsist largely on vegetation inedible by humans especially by grazing on marginal lands

#¢Without a reduction in global greenhouse-gas emissions 40 per cent more people are likely to be at risk of absolute water scarcity.#¢
Another paper co-authored by Dr Gosling shows that without reductions in global greenhouse-gas emissions 40 per cent more people are likely to be at risk of absolute water scarcity than would be the case without climate change.
while river flooding could decrease by the end of the century across about a third of the globe increases are expected at more than half of the areas investigated under a high greenhouse gas emissions scenario.
