Global Warming | 9 Advantages of Global Warming

Global warming has gained recognition in the past several years. With all the publicity that it receives, all that is ever heard are the disadvantages of global warming. But what is global warming exactly? It is the gradual warming of the earth’s atmosphere that is attributed to the greenhouse effect being caused by high levels of carbon dioxide and other pollutants in the atmosphere. Even though there are several well-documented disadvantages, there are several advantages of global warming.

Advantages of Global Warming

We all know about the disadvantages of global warming. But there are many global warming advantages that we aren’t aware of. 9 advantages of global warming are described in short below.

#1 Alternative Energy

With the fear that global warming has fed people began looking for different energy sources that will not further damage the earth. Alternative energy sources have increased in popularity. Solar and wind power are options for making people less dependent on fossil fuels.

#2 Better Climates

People tend to migrate to towards sunny and warm climates. Global warming is slowly warmer the earth and creating climate shifts to where there are more climates with temperate weather conditions.

#3 Safer and Healthier

It has been proven that there are more health problems during cold weather. For example, people shoveling snow, especially middle aged men, are prone to heart attacks. Fewer car accidents will happen due to snowy or icy roads.
Cold weather illness such as influenza will not be as common. People will be able to get out into the fresh sunshine and germs will be easily staved off. Cold weather is the perfect breeding ground for many air-borne viruses.


#4 Energy Requirements

The warmer the temperature, the less heat needed to warm your home or other buildings. Less heat will require less fossil fuel and other alternative energy sources. It takes more energy to heat an area than to cool an area.

#5 Access to Arctic Resources

Due to the hazardous weather conditions in the arctic, it is difficult to accurately tell how much oil and other natural resources are available there. With the climate changing and the arctic warming, these resources are becoming more accessible and researchers are already in the process of determining what resources are available and if it would be feasible to excavate them.

#6 Northwest Passage

The Northwest Passage is becoming a more viable option for shipping. This would enable the large oil tankers and ships to pass through rather than having to take the route around the Panama Canal.

#7 Plants Thriving

Plants thrive on carbon dioxide. With larger amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as a result of global warming, plants will grow larger and be healthier. Agriculture could explode with record breaking plants and crops. Animals that depend solely on plants for their survival will find an endless supply of vibrant, healthy plants to choose from.

#8 Extended Growing Seasons

Global warming is not attributed to just exceptional crops and overly large plants, but also to an extended growing season. This will enable farmers to grow more crops and increase food supplies. There would be multiple harvests within the season.

#9 More Land

Land that was once covered with water or was too cold to inhabit are now able to be inhabited. With the water receding and moving as well as the temperatures shifting, more and more land is being deemed as usable. Land that can be used for agriculture and building is being uncovered.

How To Calculate or Estimate Long-span Aluminium Roofing Sheets.

Image
Aluminium roofing sheets, they come in rolls of average of 600mm to 1300mm depends on the manufacture and specifications. As stated in previous articles, the aluminium sheets comes in rolls at the factory just like toilet rolls but with different widths and thickness based on specifications. Calculating the roof required could be done by calculating the surface area in square meters of the area covered by the aluminium and for some companies it could be calculated in meter lengths ,knowing the width which is 600mm above as constant. For a simple gable roof as shown in pic 1 with length of 25.2m. First you must know the height of roof from the section. For this sample we are taken the eight to be 3meters (10 feet)to know the length of leaf “x” or “y” Remember the pythagoras theorem x2=32 +6.12 x=6.8m Hence the area of roof is (6.8 i.e x)+6.8 i.e y) multiply by length 25.2m=342.72m2 If the width of the roof comes in 600mm or 0.6m, the length of the roof ...

Post Tension Slab – Advantages and Disadvantages of Post Tension Slab

Image
Post Tension Slab Although concrete is a strong material for construction, it is not resistant to breakdown especially where longer concrete slabs are required like in a bridge or a length of a beam. For this, the concrete slab is tensioned with a process called pre-stressing and the slab of concrete which comes out after this process is known as post tension slab. This slab is much stronger as well as more durable than the normal concrete slabs. In today’s world, where the modern engineering is finding new ways to build longer, more efficient and stronger structures, post tension slab becomes one of their chief requirements. There are many advantages and disadvantages of post tensioned slabs which we will discuss in this post. Advantages of Post Tension Slab Post tension slabs are advantageous in many ways. Some of the major benefits of post tension slabs are as follows. 1. Reduced cost: Post tension slabs are excellent ways to construct stronger structures at an affordable...

How to install POP (plaster of paris) ceilling

Image
Plaster of Paris is regarded as any type of plaster containing calcined gypsum (calcium sulfate dihydrate), sand and water. When these ingredients are combined, they result in the formation of a tough, dry product; however, plaster of Paris can be sanded to achieve a variety of looks. By following some basic guidelines, you can use plaster of Paris to mend cracks, fix dents,for ceiling, in walls and even to create artworks. However in this case our focus is on ceiling. POP popularly called plaster of Paris is used for a lot of purposes because it can easily be formed to any shape and it hardens quickly and is easy to operate. To do a pop ceiling in your home, getting it done is in two ways, you can buy the materials yourself which include pop cement , yarn(sponge-like material) etc then pay the installer based on per square meter of area of coverage, or you can give it out totally as a contract. But these are the basic steps in getting pop ceiling cast-on-site done. Get cemen...
