Change Response

On 26 September 2009, approximately 4,000 citizens in 38 countries participated in World Wide Views on Global Warming (WWViews). WWViews was an ambitious first attempt to convene a deliberative mini-public at a global scale, giving people from around the world an opportunity to deliberate on international climate policy and to make recommendations to the decision-makers meeting at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen (COP-15) in December 2009. In this paper, we examine the role that deliberative mini-publics can play in facilitating the emergence of a global deliberative system for climate change response. We pursue this intent through a reflective evaluation of the Australian component of the World Wide Views on Global Warming project (WWViews). Our evaluation of WWViews is mixed. The Australian event was delivered with integrity and feedback from Australian participants was almost universally positive. Globally, WWViews demonstrated that it is feasible to convene a global mini-public to deliberate on issues of global relevance, such as climate change. On the other hand, the contribution of WWViews towards the emergence of a global deliberative system for climate change response was limited and it achieved little influence on global climate change policy. We identify lessons for future global mini-publics, including the need to prioritise the quality of deliberation and provide flexibility to respond to cultural and political contexts in different parts of the world. Future global mini-publics may be more influential if they seek to represent discourse diversity in addition to demographic profiles, use designs that maximise the potential for transmission from public to empowered space, run over longer time periods to build momentum for change and experiment with ways of bringing global citizens together in a single process instead of discrete national events.

The nutrients required to grow plant is only one aspect of successful crop production. The source of nutrients to use and how the elements influenced by soil , atmosphere and water. Although 16 nutrients elements required to grow plants, 13 of them are taken up from the soil. Global warming and climate changes possible impact on nutrient elements of plant tissue and time period of growing so samples which are dominant plants, were gathered by Mungun morit , Tumentsogt and Ikhnart  sums  in June to August.  The samples was prepared for experiment as well as content of Mn , Ni, Pb ,Fe, Cd, Cu, Zn and Cr elements measured by AAS. By results of analysis, content of Iron in Potentilla acualis (in July) is higher than other elements as well as Cd and Pb are not out in all.

It has been increasing pest population including weeds, invasive species, insects and insect vectors and plant diseases, which lead to increase pesticides on crop production. Some of the pesticides also contribute to global warming and the depletion of the ozone layer. Pesticides are the potential health hazards which have drawn attention to everyone. The current practice adopted in pesticides control in Nepal appears not enough in line with food safety. This has created a promising threat in food safety and human health. In turn, global warming is also likely to increase pesticide use and degrade food safety situation. Necessary measures should be adopted to curb upcoming alarming situation in food safety.Key words: Food safety; Global warming; Pesticides; NepalThe Journal of Agriculture and Environment Vol:10, Jun.2009 Page: 128-132

A teaching homepage was created on the World Wide Web at: http://www.hort.vt.edu/faculty/welbaum/hort4764 to teach an introductory college level course on vegetable crops. The homepage was designed to be viewed using Netscape software. Reading assignments and class outlines are formatted as .pdf files and can be viewed using Adobe Acrobat Reader. This software can be downloaded from the homepage. The homepage is linked to additional pages entitled: “Course description,” “Instructor,” “Text and other printed reference material,” “Class schedule and assignments,” “Class related pictures,” “Sample test questions,” “Chat room,” “Class project,” “Other web sites of interest,” and “Grading.” Two-hundred pages of text and outlines describing production of vegetables using plasticulture, vegetable seed technology, vegetable production under protective cover, and other topics as well as descriptions of 28 individual vegetables are available through the homepage. There are more 500 pictures and descriptions of vegetables and vegetable crop production linked to this website. Students can be examined using a computer testing system call Whizquiz that grades and corrects each exam. A Chat Room allows discussion among students and the instructor. Discussion sessions can be conducted between students and guests at distant locations. Student term projects on a range of subjects relating to vegetable crops are linked to the homepage. Links are provided to over 25 other World Wide Web sites with additional information on vegetable crops. This teaching homepage has been used for two semesters and students' evaluation of the system will be provided.

The Impact

Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases are expected to result in global warming which will affect crop production. Crop modelling is a useful tool for assessing the impact of climate change on crop production. The objective of this study was to select an appropriate model for climate change studies. Five simulation models, EPIC, CERES, Century, Sinclair and Stewart, were assessed using data from a long-term experiment begun in 1911 on a clay loam (Dark Brown Chernozem) soil at Lethbridge, AB. Yields predicted by the five models were compared with actual spring wheat yields in continuous wheat, fallow-wheat and fallow-wheat-wheat rotations. The EPIC model gave the best simulation results over all rotations and the most accurate predictions of mean yields during droughts. It was concluded that the EPIC model had the greatest potential for assessing the impact of climate change on wheat yield. The Stewart model was the most accurate for unfertilized continuous wheat and fallow-wheat. The Sinclair model was most accurate for fertilized fallow-wheat and CERES was the most accurate model for fertilized continuous wheat. The Century model simulated average yield accurately but did not account for year-to-year variability. Key words: Global warming, crop simulation, spring wheat yields
