Book’s notification about global warming effect
Today we would like to present the book (from 2000), which content is often considered as very controversial and uncommon, its claims and statements are bold words of critisism. We would like to summarize how the Polish book „Ekologiczne kłamstwa ekowojowników” (‘Ecological lies of ecofighters’) of Przemysław Masztalerz shows the global warming effect.
The book is very interesting from many points of view, but the crucial reasons to read it is from the one hand astonishingly and surprisingly shown many so called ‘ecoproblems’ (among the others DDT, asbestos, ozone layer and finally the global warming effect).
Probably 7 years ago, when the book depicted on the market everybody would have said that these statements (also about global warming) are completely made up. As author writes the popular meaning of this phenomenon is an increase of temperature in the lowest part of the atmosphere, which is caused by the carbon dioxide and other ‘greenhouse effect gases’ (like methane, CFC gases – freons emission), which are by-products of our industrial civilization (Mastalerz 2000). The author emphasizes that in contemporary times we often forget about the crucial and very important real global warming effect, thanks to our globe is able to survive and live. The book delivers an information that people seek only for the speculated results of economic human live strategy. The author says that ‘the climate observations during the last 100 years shows, that the average temperature increased about 0,5-1,0°C, but there is no evidence that the cause of global warming effect is exactly the higher level of carbon dioxide in the air’. Mastalerz also quotes the IPCC (International Panel on Climate Change) statements, publicated in 1992, which says:
“Because of the greenhouse gases emission during the century we are approaching to it will come the increase of average global temperature in the lower layer of atmosphere about 3°C. It will bring the enhanced oceans level to the next century about 60cm. To stop this process it is need to limit the CO2 emission about 60%”.
This is assessed as very categorical opinion like many others in this topic, delivered by politicians and officials, promoted and spread in many schoolish books and scientific materials. Author of the book tells about people who blame human being for the global increase of temperature as they were ecological fanatics, who of course in accordance with the rights of democracy can say what they want, but they definitely are not allowed to spread such a stand in a matter of global warming in schoolish materials which are read by young people. Mastalerz emphasizes too, that climatologists and farmers know exactly, that melting glaciers is not a process that can lead to the complete melt in a short (ex. several dozen years) period of time. “Instead of causing in children the response for the global warming, specialists who write books and materials for pupils should make them aware what were the climate changes at the turn of the geological ages taking into consideration cyclically repeated frozen periods”.
