"Climate Change" or "Global Warming"? My opinion!

Picture
Here's how I think and correct me if I'm wrong. The graph shows the concentration of CO2 (blue line) and the global temperature behavior (red line). There is a strong relationship between these two factors.

Please, pay attention to the red line behavior. Until the 20th century what we see are only oscillations. I named this behavior of “climate change”. After a period of rapid industrialization the red line presents an exponential behavior.

In summary, before industrial era the human influence on the climate was negligible. After we start to use the oil as a primary energy source, the anthropic activity becomes clear. Therefore, in my view, what we experience now is the “global warming”. Before that, there were “natural” climate changes, although the global warming is a climate change too, it's a result of our economic growth pattern. So the term “climate change” should be used for “natural” climate changes!

Cerrado, the Brazilian Savannah

Covering more than 20% of Brazil, the Cerrado is not nearly as recognized as the Amazon. Although these wooded grasslands once covered an area half the size of Europe, its native habitats and rich biodiversity are being destroyed faster than the neighbouring rainforest. (WWF)

Brenda Salzano

The third tribute of the "Brazilian Cerrado's Craft" project  is for Brenda Salzano, an artisan who lives at Coast Of Oregon, USA.

In her own words: I'm a Nature Artist, with Jewelry Design,Cards and Paintings. I have 2 dogs Corgi & Shelti. I like Tweet about art I am creating, short messages of wisdom plus life.

In Brenda's view, a designer is a person who designs something. Perhaps the broadest definition is that provided by psychologist
Herbert Simon: 'Everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones.' ;-)
