Could the Greenhouse Effect Cause More Damage?

     John Harte is an ecologist from the University of California at
Berkley. He is trying to find out whether heat stimulates further trace-gas
from solid or not.  He is going to conduct an experiment that will tell him if
the greenhouse effect could start a cycle that would cause the effects to be
worse than already predicted.  The experiment will begin December of 1996 and
will run for no less than three years.
     Harte has stretched a twelve foot high grid of cables above 300 square
yards of land in a high mountain meadow in the middle of the Colorado Rockies.
The cables are supported by four steel towers, one at each corner of the grid.
Hanging down from the cables are ten infrared heat lamps which are about three
feet long each.  This is supposed to simulate what many see as the coming
apocalypse.  (global warming)  "By 2050, if we decide to load trace gasses -
mainly carbon dioxide - into the atmosphere at our current rate, we can expect
Earth's temperature to increase by any-where from three to nine degrees.  The
Vostok record confirms that," says Harte.
     The grid is divided into ten sections.  Each of the ten sections covers
thirty square yards of the meadow.  The infarared lamps will heat every other
section by 2.5 degrees.  The unheated sections in between allow researchers to
compare the efects of the lamps with the regular state of the meadow.
     One time a week, Harte will take gas...This is ONLY a preview of the article. If you would like to view the entire document, you must subscribe to Electronic References. Please register below now!
