Water Bodies and Climate Changes

Climate Changes in water bodies such as sea, ocean, lakes, rivers generally occur over much longer time periods when compared to atmosphere, where storms, cyclones, thunders can form and dissipate in a day.

                             The existing relationship between the water bodies, the energies, the agricultural lands and the climate is a notable significant one. More and more, that relationship is falling out of balance jeopardizing food, water and energy security.

                         Climate change is a phenomenon that  we can no longer deny it  as its effects have become immence evident worldwide while  having eye on the list of warmest years on record, almost every year since 1992 is included in the list and, according to NASA and NOAA data, 2015 was the hottest.

The Interactions between the water bodies and atmosphere occur slowly over many months to years, and so does the movement of water within the oceans, including the mixing of deep and shallow waters. Thus, trends can persist for decades, centuries, or more.

                                            For this reason, even if greenhouse gas emissions were stabilized tomorrow. it would take many more years or decades to centuries—for the water bodies to adjust to the changes in the atmosphere and the climate that have already occurred.
