CLIMATE CHANGE

Changes in air temperature are generating changes in the spatial distribution and climatological variables such as the atmospheric pressure, humidity, wind and rainfall etc .. thus causing climate change.

It has been identified that increases the air temperature in different regions of the country, On the territory Colombaino air temperature has increased by 0.1 to 0.2 ° C.

The clearest sign of climate change is the retreat of glaciers in the Colombian mountains.

Climate change in Colombia leads to 2 way:

- In the Colombian territory it has the global problem of containing emissions of greenhouse gases and changes in land use and thus affect the balance of regional atmospheric radiation.

- It is affected by changes to the global phenomenon induced in the National Climate

Burning fuels such as coal and gas oil used to produce energy releases gases Greenhouse thus increasing the temperature of the earth and causing a distortion in the global climate system.

It is a change in the statistical properties of the climate system when considered over long periods of time, regardless of the cause.

A change in the emission of solar radiation in the arrangement of continents, ocean currents or earth orbit, thus altering deeply the weather when it comes to long term processes.
