Beschreibung

The climatic history of Earth is constituted by alternation of warm and cold periods. “The lord of the winds and currents", the Jet Stream of free atmosphere plays a decisive role in climate change. Two other essential elements of climate history are: the Arctic and Antarctic poles and vortexes that play an important role in cold air masses penetration to the South, to balance the heat difference between low and high latitudes. Which is the force that adjusts speed variations and the direction in time and space of Great General Circulation of the atmosphere? A question that has always fueled by unresolved answers and finds its truth from the star that has always fascinated and intrigued the human kind: the Moon, “the lady", from which depend the destiny of climate World. Moon decisively influences the Jet Stream through its gravitational force and is the keystone of the whole process climate.

Preface

I tell you about the climate change

It is like a narration, a fascinating, wonderful, terrifying and reassuring story: let’s flick together through the Great Book of the Time and read Roberto Madrigali’s pages about climate changes. Under our eyes is the story of the planet Earth between alternating cold and hot periods with the inevitable changes, the migrations of entire populations, the drama of generations: we cannot change the past but we can learn for the future how history, intended in the best way, should teach us.

And here is the new Aeolus, lord of winds and currents, the Jet Stream of the free atmosphere playing a decisive role in the climate changes. The American pilots flying up and down the Hawaii during the second world war, the Top Guns, discovered it: by flying high they used to come across strong turbulences, despite the weather forecast said the contrary. Another two evocative places go down in the history of climate: the Poles and vortexes Arctic and Antarctic. Two essential elements which play an important role for the penetration of the cold air southwards, moved by nature to balance the big thermal difference existing between the polar and equatorial-tropical latitudes.

However, as in all respectable stories, also here we meet the “Lady” on whom the Jet Stream depends, the Moon, the star which has always nourished human fantasies. The Moon, with its gravitational force, is the keystone of all the process, gives input to the Jet Stream configuration movements and therefore to the planet climatic evolutions and can allow accurate long-term weather forecast. The tides, which depend on the Moon, are another fascinating element: but why does the Moon influence the tides (and tropospheric flow) and why not the Sun which is also an infinitely bigger body? All these questions are answered by the “Tesi Madrigali — Meteo Mundi” here illustrated and documented from the narration which seems fantastic to the scientific rigor: a publication for everybody, an educational aid which teachers can use for teaching to young people and in the permanent education, useful to public and private bodies, to farmers’ associations, to tourism. Today, as the European Union said recently, it is easy to realise how the information in terms of climate changes is missing or hardly mentioned.

These references are at the basis of the collaboration established for years between the Group on Macroproblems “Aurelio Peccei” of the Green Age Association and the Association Explora, presided over by Mr. Davide Peluzzi, who intends to contribute to a better understanding of the climate on the Earth through his expeditions in extreme environments such as the Himalaya or the Arctic, in harmony with the studies of the expert Roberto Madragali.

In particular since last year the common interest has been based on the opportunity to make the “mystery” of the terrestrial climatic evolutions decipherable, by following a line of objective research and of communication and dissemination of results.

For this reason the next contests of the Green Age Association, aimed at young people at international level, will have the climate changes and observations on their territory as their basis. Since these evolutions depend on both natural and anthropical cycles, which have great importance and difference from place to place, it is necessary to work at local level on the microclimate where climate changes often have amplified effects.

Therefore the Associations The Green Age and Explora have expressed the need to make experimental models which reproduce actions in limited areas of the Mediterranean area and emblematic of existing and future situations, following monitoring actions of the anthropised impact on the selected areas: in fact, for such an important phenomenon for the future of men and their life standard as well as for the economic development such as the climate change, it is necessary to compare and integrate the data of the Countries interacting in the Mediterranean region, each with its specific characteristics. Hence the elaboration of the project “Young People Meet Climate Change” (Acronym: YOU.MEET), which intends to involve young people by taking the opportunities given by the European Union, in a first stage through a European action of Youth Exchange and later through the participation in the Programme LIFE in 2014.

Every European exchange is a great opportunity of cultural, social and linguistic learning certified thanks to the Youthpass.

We intend to analyse and monitor from time to time some European areas of the Mediterranean area by gathering them according to the following characteristics: Urban, Marine, Rural and Mountain and the results will form a log book in Italian and English which will be used for future research by the young people from the European Countries who will be involved from time to time.

The project action should study in depth the conditions of the existing one, raise the awareness not only of students but also of families and elderly so than they can be the spokespersons of this need at the local authorities. In fact, even if the Mediterranean area has a particular climate action, set in a water reservoir protected by the Alps and intimately influenced by the contiguity of the hottest continent, Africa, it inevitably succumbs to the global variations of the temperature generated by the jet stream of the free atmosphere.

“Act and adapt” are the keywords of the project YOU.MEET, a slogan launched by the European Commission: act in order to prevent the situation from getting worse and adapt, that is properly facing the events which are not attributable to men’s actions.

However, whereas the changes of the physical environment are well documented, the data on the specific adaptation interventions are missing: since we need more data on the adaptation costs, it is important to involve our society, the business world and the European public sector in the preparation of coordinated adaptation strategies: that is action plans on health, vaccinations, health system planning, planning for the risks of floods, management of drought crises and water scarcity, protection of coasts and against floods, economic diversification, strengthening of public and private buildings, management of the use of land and increase in green in cities. It is said that the Mediterranean area will be one of the areas mostly affected in terms of energy demand, agricultural productivity, water availability, impact on health, summer tourism and ecosystem. Hence the need of a reliable information to all citizens and their decision-making bodies to start from 2013 the “European Year of the active citizenship”.

Preface

The issue of climate change and weather forecast trill millions of people and the net is full of sites or weather enthusiasts.

Therefore, I think this text could be appreciated by many fans and not thanks to the divulgate language that has been adopted in its drafting, as it allows to acquire some basic knowledge to know the great dynamics of the atmosphere.

During my brief research period, I developed an interest in environmental issues and climate change, at the same time I grow fond to meteorology, and during my studies, I had the opportunity to observe abnormalities, especially on the Calderone Glacier (Gran Sasso of Italy) above other alpine glaciers that makes me think focus on Global Warming. . .

This theory is very compelling because it is also linked to the lunar cycles; it provides evidence of how our natural satellite affects the large atmospheric circulation.

Maybe the key to the weather forecast has always been over our heads and we ever notice it? Or rather, since old ages there were references to the Moon in agriculture and other practices that are related to the the meteorology; perhaps Madrigali has only been able to find out why the Moon affects the weather.

The location of our natural satellite, respect to the Earth and to other celestial bodies, seems to “drive” the big heat exchanges that take place on our planet between the polar regions and equatorial areas, and could influence during its cycles, the climate. On the other hand, we well know theories on climate change based on correlations between climate change and astronomical parameters (see Milankovitch), but in this case they also helps to explain not only the arrival of an ice age, but also the global warming. There are, in fact, references to episodes of “exceptional” cooling and or heating of the atmosphere that are not attributable to the lunar cycles according to the author.

The theory of Madrigali should not cheer up a lot because questioning global warming opens the door to new scenarios that could be just as dangerous, or at least confirm that we do not go to the climatic optimum.

Hoping to have intrigued enough without anticipate too much, I wish you a good reading.
