Climate Change


On a rainy, misty day

The black sand that makes up the famous Hawaiian black sand beaches is made out of basalt. These beaches can form rapidly when molten lava meets the cold ocean water in an explosive confrontation. The shattered volcanic rock is further broken down as it is smashed together by the waves. Black sand beaches can be relative short lived. This photo shows the black sand of Maui's Pa'iloa beach.

While the causes of climate change are distributed around the world, the effects of warming are primarily distributed in the future. There is a time lag built into the machinery of climate change. Even if we somehow halted all man made greenhouse gas emissions today -- no more coal, no more oil, no more gasoline -- the climate would continue to warm by an additional 0.5 degrees simply because of the greenhouse gases emitted in the past, going all the way back to the Industrial Revolution. ~ page 156
