The document discusses global warming and proposes large-scale desalination and irrigation as a solution. It notes that the Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere protect life from radiation, but human activity like burning fossil fuels is polluting the atmosphere. The author argues that purifying salty ocean water through desalination on a massive scale could green dry areas and increase photosynthesis, cleaning the air through increased plant life. International cooperation from governments, religions, and companies would be needed to prioritize this solution over reducing emissions alone. In just a few sentences, the high-level idea is presented without unnecessary details.

RE; GLOBAL COOLING: PURIFICATION OF SALTY WATER
Having studied the report from many quarters concerning the global warming and its effects man
life on earth I have the following observations and suggestions to this problem.
The earth’s magnetic field originates deep inside the planet and stretches far into space where it
forms an invisible shield called magnetosphere.
This shield protects us from the full force of cosmic radiation and from dangers emanating from
the sun. The latter include the solar wind of a steady stream of energetic particles, solar flares
which release in minutes as much energy as billions of hydrogen bombs and coronal mass
ejections (CME) which blast billions of tons of matter from the sun’s coronal into space.
Both solar flares and CME’s trigger intense auroras, colorful displays of light in the upper
atmosphere near the earth’s magnetic poles.

3. Our solar system is part of the milk way that many scientists call the galactic habitable zone.
This zone is about 28,000 light years from the centre of the galaxy and contains just the right
concentration of the chemical elements needed to support life. Further out these chemicals are
too scarce and further in the neighborhood is too dangerous because of the greater abundance of
potentially lethal radiation and other factors.
The earth’s orbit is about 150 million kilometers from the sun referred to by scientists as
circumstellar habitable zone where life neither freezes nor fries.
The earth’s atmosphere provides additional protection. An outer layer of the atmosphere the
stratosphere contains form of oxygen called Ozone which absorbs 99% of incoming ultra violet
(UV) radiation. The ozone layer is 25km from the Earth.

5. Thus the ozone layer helps to protect many forms of lives including human and plankton from dangerous
radiation. Interestingly the amount of stratospheric ozone is not fixed but directly proportional to the
intensity of UV radiation making the ozone layer a dynamic and efficient field. Therefore it is within here
that we find that the oceans and atmosphere are practically one, constantly exchanging heat, water, gases
and momentum in the form of wind and waves. They a also work together carrying solar heat away from
the tropics towards the poles, thus moderating global temperatures..

6. global
The atmosphere also protects us from daily barrage of millions of meteoroids which burn up in
the atmosphere becoming bright flashes of light called meteors. Earth's shields do not block
radiation that is essential to life such as heat and visible light. The atmosphere even helps to
distribute the heat around the globe and at night the atmosphere acts as a blanket slowing the
escape of heat. The same could be said of another terrestrial phenomenon earth's abundance of
water in its liquid form. Three quarters of the earth's surface is covered with water. Though most
of this water is salty particularly in lakes without outlets, seas and oceans and are not fit for

7. human consumption. With the modern technology the salt water should be purified through
fractional distillation in large scale for irrigation instead of depending on the unpredictable
rainfall. If such kind of project is given the priority given to the production of oil for industrial
use the world will be satisfied with agricultural food production more than it is today.
The question of the green house effect would be a thing of the past as most of the earth’s dry
surface will be covered with green vegetation to provide the earth's atmosphere with humid air to
create relief rainfall. God created everything for recreation and if carefully put to good use man
can not suffer in the world. The salty sea water has alot of chemical elements that if scientifically
processed the same can produce other industrial productions UNEP should make the purification
of water for large scale irrigation one of its most urgent priorities to save the world from
manmade desertification which if not checked may sooner rather than later deplete our planet
earth and turn it lifeless. The world's powerful economies should direct their efforts towards this
goal.
UNEP should encourage good settlement systems in its habitat department the world over as
it so happens in urban centers. Half haphazard settlement patterns in most rural areas in third
world countries is not economically viable in the present and the future world good. Those who
take care of wild animals should come forward to save the situation by encouraging the
governments and other multinationals to invest more money to this important venture. It is said
that the world destroys about three million acres of forest cover per year; therefore in a matter of
some years to come we shall wipe out the entire world of its vegetation cover. And hence we
shall do away with all water catchment areas.
Although no historical evidence has been produced to prove the reason for the barrenness of
most of the planets but we may hypothesized that this has been due to lack of any vegetation on
most of them ,This is so because many of these bodies in different galaxies in the space have
very dangerous gases in their atmosphere whose sources are the very bodies in question.
Therefore the earth having lost its vegetation which produces much of the atmospheric pressure
loaded with moisture conducive to life then the same will produce very dangerous gases. The
dangerous gases from the volcanic eruptions and industrial emissions into the atmosphere are
still being checked by the present vegetation. A close look at the moon where men had landed
reveal that its topography is rugged and have valleys hills and mountains but with no vegetation.
These features prove that at unknown time these bodies have undergone some geological
changes which might have changed their climatic condition.

8. There is no man made means man can use to clean the atmosphere than natural air from
vegetation and unpolluted sea water. Many lakes are being buried down or are becoming shallow
due to siltation as a result of heavy soil erosion due to no vegetation cover. The next to follow
are seas and oceans. The rate at which plastic materials are deposited into the ocean, sea and
lakes and millions and millions of liters of poisonous liquids poured into the same and toxic
waste materials deposited on land which through evaporation find their way into the air is very
dangerous for human and animal life.

9. When the US space craft phoenix landed on Mars in its polar regions after traveling for ten
months covering a distance of 423 million miles, it was found that there appears to have been life
at some very distant past which does not exist now.
So, our mother earth has ever been kind to her dependents Flora and Fauna and yet man has not
reciprocated accordingly. The holocaust we are facing does not know the political divisions of

10. countries, color of races, the cities of the world, the classification of world economies like first,
second and third countries or religions, creed and cultures .As much as the tropical regions are
being threatened by the encroachment of the Sahara desserts and other droughts around the world
and so in the polar regions the ice cover is melting at alarming rate. Nature can be viewed as a
beautiful mechanism composed of matter and energy interacting according to simple rules to
form galaxies, stars, planets and mountain tops, oceans depths and forest glades. Most the
universe is lifeless and the vast reaches between the galaxies appear to be empty of all but all the
thinnest gas and the stars which contain most of the mass are much too hot for life to survive and
develop. Only on the surface of a few planets where temperatures are moderate could atoms link
together to form living matter. Therefore if life is special then intelligence is precious. There may
exist planets where life has developed but has not become complex, planet on which the wind
stirs wide plains of gross and rustles dark forest. It is an intelligent human or alien that gives
meaning to the landscape.
In that connection therefore science is the process by which intelligence tries to understand the
universe. As the primary intelligence species on this planet, we are the custodians of a priceless
gift – a planet filled with livings things. This is especially true if life is rare in the universe. In
fact if earth is the only inhabited planet, then our responsibility is overwhelming. We are the only
creatures who can take action to preserve the existence of life on earth and ironically our own
actions are the most serious hazards.
That responsibility is not only to save our race for all eternity but to behave as dependable
custodians of our planet, preserving it, admiring it and trying to understand it. That calls for
drastic changes in our behavior towards other living things and a revolution in our attitude
towards our planets resources. The gift of intelligence is the finest thing thus planet has ever
produced and that one is only given to man.
The astronomers, planetologists’ cosmologist and paleontologists are warning us that the sun
having been in existence for the last 5 billion years is remaining with another 5 billion years and
the sun will leave its main sequence and swell into a red giant-incinerating the earth. If at all this
will happen that is a matter of hypothesis and theory. Only a few million years ago our ancestors
were learning to walk erect and communicate but a billion years before that our ancestors were
microscopic organisms living in the primeval oceans.

11.  The ozone layer lies 25 kilometers above the earth’s surface.
 The original of the atmospheric oxygen is linked to the origin of life and that is about 3.3
billion years when nature invented photosynthesis which absorbs carbon from the air or
water and utilizes it for plant growth, releasing oxygen. Since oxygen is a very reactive
element, it combines easily with compounds and hence oxygen grew in abundance slowly.
The development of large shallow seas along the continental margins a half a billion years
ago allowed ocean plants to manufacture oxygen faster than chemical reactions could
consume it. The atmospheric oxygen increases at about 1per cent every 36 millions years.
The earth’s climate is sensitive to many factors. The albedo of the Earth is the fraction of the
sunlight that hits it and gets reflected. An albedo of 1 would be a perfectly white world and an
albedo of O would be a perfectly black. The earth’s overall albedo is 0.39, meaning back into
space 39% of the sunlight that hits it. This reflection depends on the presence of water vapour in
the atmosphere, the temperature of the upper atmosphere and the patterns of the atmospheric
circulation. Any charge in these factors can change earth’s albedo and change climate. We are
altering our atmosphere in at least two serious ways: by adding carbon dioxide (Co2) and
destroying the ozone. Too much concentration of carbon dioxide (Co2) in the atmosphere traps
heat in the process of greenhouse effect.

13. For over 4 billion years ago, natural processes on earth had removed Co2 from the atmosphere
and buried it in the form of coal, oil and nature gas. But the industrial revolution changed all that
by digging up the former to get energy and releasing back the same to the atmosphere. We are
cutting down the great forests that could absorb Co2 and hence the growth of the same. The
global climate has warmed by 0.30 to 9.60 in the last century. The ozone layer absorbs the
ultraviolet photons and prevents them from reaching the ground. Like all terrestrial planets, earth
has passed through a four stage history:
1. Differentiation
2. Cratering
3. Flooding by lava, water or both
4. Slow surface evolution
If all humanity can take the initiative seriously of tackling the global warming menace in unison
no matter the cost the entire earth’s surface can change green and through photosynthesis the
amount of oxygen would increase and clean the already polluted atmosphere for the good of
mankind. Under the leadership of the spiritual world lead by Pope Francis of catholic and his
fellow brothers different denominations in the Christendom plus prominent leaders of other
world renowned. Religions, the world of technologies from United Kingdom, Japan, Italy,
Canada, Russia, China, Germany etc lead by United States of America the Super Power, these
should be joined by emerging economic powers like India, Brazil, South Korea, South Africa,
Egypt, Kenya and Nigeria and others, hence watering the dry land by using the present liquid
water cannot be a tall order. Even if the amount of emissions from industries using fossil fuels is
reduced, the damage it has done in the atmosphere and water in the seas for the last four
centuries since the beginning of industrial revolution is not easy to clean soon without the
assistance of green vegetation and its process of using carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen to
accelerate cleaning. The call to reduce fossil industrial emissions is a good idea to control the
greenhouse effect but it is like removing the firewood from the fire furnace and leaving the
smoke screen.

14. The industrial production in all sectors of the economy everywhere in the world is powered by
fossil fuel. Therefore making radical change will automatically affect the world economic order
which will be worse to the third world economies. In that connection the process will have to go
slowly while the earth is seriously facing imminent environmental holocaust.
So the call of creating awareness in all countries to take it upon themselves individually to
produce as much water as possible will arrest the situation sooner rather than later. The business
community, the cooperate world of multinational companies should be encouraged along that
line. The water from oceans, rivers, underground lakes and seas is abundantly available. Let us
stop the blame game of the rich verses the poor while both parties are staring the devastating
situation under their face. Therefore all the parties propagating environmental activities should
join hands in rallying the world toward water production venture to make the world green.
The media should lead in this noble campaign from one country to the other, from one continent
to the other because the holocaust facing the world does not spare any country or continent. It
engulfs every surface of our mother Earth.
The following countries for example do emit into the atmosphere metric tones of Carbon per
year. USA–5,334,000 KT, China–10,540,000 KT, India–2,341,000 KT, Kenya (2011) –0.30 KT.
The plant seed and the plant life are found three kilometers from the Earth’s surface into the
ground. Therefore it is a matter of watering the Earth and the plants will automatically sprout out
to grow and make the Earth green
This venture will change the surface of the world to its former natural good. This work of water
production and irrigation will make UNEP realize its objectives and goals. When you eat good
food, when you drink good water or pure water, you are not safe because you breathe
polluted Air.
Thanks in advance.
