Global Warming Disruption Of Internet Connection

VIVAnews -Internet access via Wi-Fi as well as other means of communication are facing the threat of global warming related unless a number of actions taken to protect them from temperatures continue to rise as well as the weather deteriorated.

According to Caroline Spelman, Minister of State for environment, United Kingdom, higher temperatures can reduce the signal emission distance wireless communication devices. As for the rain storm could affect the reliability of the device in the capture the signal. Winters wetter also will cause landslides, damaging the stake, as well as underground cable.

Emerging threats due to climate change to access the internet and the phone is a rare occurrence and only developed countries that are experiencing the effects of more severe. In developing countries, greater risks facing due to climate change are simply floods, drought, as well as the increase in surface water.

"If climate change threatens the quality of the signal or you do not get the signal because of the extreme fluctuations in temperature occurs, then you will experience a loss. It is urgent for us to overcome, "said Spelman, Guardianquoted from, Wednesday, May 11, 2011.

"Imagine if in times of emergencies, telecommunications or internet connection turns out to be cut off," said Spelman.

Spelman mentions, of the report was drafted, it was concluded that the infrastructure, ranging from the road and railway, from the source of the electricity supply to the source of the water supply, should be made more resilient to climate change.

More detail, the report concludes, the electric cable networks should be strengthened to prevent the damage, the road must be coated with a protective surface for the asphalt does not melt, as well as the railway should be made more resistant to heat is not curved.

The Government itself, call the Spelman, admitted that the impact of climate change on telecommunications are not well understood. However the report compiled shows a number of potential risks. In addition to the impact on coverage and reliability, warmer temperatures and storms more intense potentially cause communication infrastructure have flooded or damaged by uprooted trees are overwritten.

On the report, researchers also estimated that the changes in the growth of the trees can affect how radio waves are move. (eh)

Global Warming, Toxic Spiders Migration

VIVAnews -citizens of the United States need to be alert to the threat of a spider or recluse spider Brown. Therefore, the researchers found that the habitats of these venomous Spiders continue to move due to climate change.

Due to the heat, the spiders were moving towards the area north of that experience more cold. However, the area was thus more inhabited.

As known, the Brown spider is very toxic. One bite of this spider, in some cases, can be deadly.

"The size of the area of habitat suitable for Spider brown recluse is not changed dramatically in the near future," said Erin Saupe, researchers from the University of Kansas, as quoted from Good Environment, Tuesday, may 3, 2011. "However, the area where they breed continues to change."

See on the map above. The dotted line in green is an area where the spider is present. As for the blue area is the area where they expected to move due to rising temperatures.

"That is, it does not mean that the spider Brown expanding their habitat due to warmer temperatures, but they do the relocation," said Saupe. "This is good news for the citizens of Texas and Oklahoma, but bad news for those who live in the North," he said. (art)
