Zurich Herald, 1957-02-28, Page 3CELEBRATING iTS TENTH Anniversary, the 1957 Canadian
National Sportsmen's Show, will be bigger and better than
ever before. Even the fishing lures will be bigger, as Beryl Wil-
liams proves with this giant -sized plug. Boat show, motor
show, cottage show, wildlife exhibit, bowling competitions and
three dog shows will be among highlights of this year's big
springtime exhibition.
is Man Warming
The sorcerer's apprentice
learned how to turn the water
on, but not off. Some weather-
men and physicists wonder if
the human race is a sorcerer's
apprentice without knowing it.
In their thinking, we may be
well along toward restoring
earth's "normal" climate, that
prevailed throughout most of its
history.
This was of "nine months of
summer and three months of
early fall" with no polar ice-
caps, with tropical and temper-
ate zone vegetation growing al-
most to the poles, with seas 100
feet or more higher than now;
with a climate at the present
site of Buffalo like that of San
Diego, and at Denverlike that
of Yuma.
The agency that may be pow-
erful enough to bring this about
is our ever -rising use of coal,
gas and oil as fuels, thus in-
creasing the amount of carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere.
Nature supplies through vol-
eanoes, fires and the decay of
vegetation. For the last century
man's use of fossil fuels has
been growing year by year, es-
pecially since 1900.
There has been an increase of
perhaps 100 per cent in atmos-
pheric carbon dioxide since
then accompanied by a warm-
ing climate. People who ad-
vance what is called the carbon
dioxide theory, warn that this
may constitute cause and effect.
They warn that as the world
industrializes, the concentration
of carbon dioxide we add to the
air is increasing fast. Estimates
of the present yearly addition
run from 6,000,000,000, tons a
year up, and one eminent stu-
dent of the atmosphere calcu-
lates that man may release up
to 1,700,000,000,000 tons in the
next 50 years.
If so, the consequences could
be tremendous. Dr. C. E. P.
Brooks, the British climatic au-
thority, calculates that a tem-
perature rise of only two de-
grees would melt the• polar ice
caps.
Why should more carbon di-
oxide in the air bring about
a warming climate? Physicists
compare our atmosphere to the
roof of a greenhouse, under
which we live. If there were
no air, as on the moon; or, if the
sun's heat were radiated away
from the earth as easily as it
is absorbed, the earth's surface
temperatures would sink far be-
low zero everyy night, and mount
toward that of boiling water
every day.
But when the sun's short-
wave radiation strikes the sur-
face, it is absorbed and reradi-
ated as heat. Some elements of
the atmosphere, notably ozone,
water vapor, and carbon diox-
ide, are transparent to the short-
wave radiation coming in, but
trap and hold back the rising
long -wave heat. Therefore we
owe it to them that we are not
frozen every night,and par.
boiled every day.
This is the "greenhouse ef-
fect."
f-
fect" New, say the proponents
Of the carbon dioxide theory, in
putting more of this gas into the
air yearly, we are in effect
thickening the roof of our plane-
tary greenhouse, and so holding
ha more heat year by year.
The warming trend itself is
undisputed. Our winters espe-
*telly Seem to be Warmer. Trop; -
The (Mini:.tte?
cal and temperate zones seem
to be widening at least tempo-
rarily toward the poles. Vegeta-
tion, fish, and animals, including
man, are following the poleward
trend. The Canadian wheat belt
is now 50 to 100 miles wider
toward the pole than in 1900.
Many other such shifts are
noted. And the seas are creep-
ing higher.
This foremost exponent of the
carbon dioxide theory is Dr..
Gilbert .Plass, physicist formerly
of Johns Hopkins University.
He believes that carbon dioxide
has a far more important role
in the "greenhouse effect" than
was formmerly thought. If, as
some estimates indicate, there
is now about. IO per cent more
of it in the atmosphere than in
1900, this amount is in itself
sufficient' to account for the gen-
eral warming trend since then.
He estimates that the amount
during the century will be in-
creasing by nearly one-third.
Further, he calculates that '
doubling the amount in the air
would increase t h e world's
warmth about eight degrees or
much more than enough to melt
the several million cubic miles
of water locked up in the ice
caps. -
This would turn our earthly
greenhouse into a tropical'eon-
servatory, and would certainly
submerge all lands now less
than 100 feet above sea level,
crowding the present inhabi-
tants of millions of square miles
back towards the interior. But
this would be compensated for
by opening up other millions of
square miles of Arctic and sub -
Arctic lands to settlement; all
of Greenland, and perhaps a
large part even of the Antarctic
continent.
Halving the amount of at-
mospheric carbon dioxide would
on the other hand lower the
temperature about eight de-
grees, and Dr. Plass thinks that
such an effect may have played
a part in bringing about , past
ice ages. Geology shows that
mountain -building = -preceded .0r
acoompanied glacial ages.
Fresh rock greedily absorbs
carbon dioxide in weathering,
Huge expanses, of fresh rock
thrust into :the air in mountain
building • wouldlessen the .car-
bon dioxide content of the at-
mosphere,- which in turn lower
the temperature, bring more
snow, and start the glacial. cycle.
On the other hand he finds
two major effects that !night
balance out the amount of car-
bon ' dioxide in the atmosphere,
First, the oceans are the vastest
reservoir ' of'' it. 'They contain
about-. 130,000;000,000,000 tons,
whereas the atmosphere ,contains
only about Z300,000,000,000 tons.
As the amount in' the atmps-
phere increases, the seas absorb
more. But th,ey can absorb; only
through their surfaces, and as
it takes several thousand years
for the oceans. to "turn over"
and bring all .their water to the
surface, the yearly ` amount of
such absorption is limited. Dr.
Plass thinks man's' output of
carbon dioxide may be`outracing
this balancing device.
Second, carbon dioxide is
necessary to plants, which take
it from the air. An increased
supply should provide lusher
plant growth and an increased
use of atmospheric carbon di-
oxide. But, as Dr. Plass points
out, eventually just as much' is
returned to the" atmosphere
through plant decay, as the
plants use. So this effect, too,
would tend to balance out, and
without reducing the total
amount of atmospheric carbon
dioxide.
Flowering plants evolved in
the latest "long heat wave" of
the earth, which lasted for many
millions of years before the
most recent ice ages. Dr. Plass
notes that such plants grow
more lushly in at atmosphere
enriched with carbon dioxide,
indicating that their ancestors
may have evolved in such . an
atmosphere. This Logically indi-
cates that there may have been
more carbon dioxide in the at-
mosphere than now, during the
earth's hundreds of millions of
years of warm, placid "normal"
weather.
Suppose it is proved that .man
is actually acting as the sor-
cerer's apprentice? What can
he do about it? That's a . to gh
question. Dr. Plass figures ,..twat
there' areenough fossil` fuels" to'
add. 40,000 trillion tons of car-.
bon , dioxide to the atmosphere.
and • oceans, with consequent
enormous changes in the cli-
mate.
One. way out would be to turn
to atomic energy, since the split-
ting atom does not generate
carbon dioxide. But on the other
hand, how much radioactive
material would this put into the
air, and what would it do to
mankind? Dr. Plass doesn't even
attempt to answer this question,
though he raises it.—By Roscoe
Fleming in The Christian Science:
Monitor.
FISHY HITCH -HIKERS
For all their aggressiveness,
sharks can be .imposed upon.
Small bony fishes called re-
moras cling to the shark by
means of one of the back fins,
which has become modified as
a sort of sucker. They "go along
for the ride" until they have
hitchhiked into a school of still
smaller fish. Then they eat their
fill and look around for a shark
(or a whale or a turtle might
do) to give them'' a lift to the
next attractive stop -over.
