Shaidurov explained how changes in the amount of ice crystals at high altitude could damage the layer of thin, high altitude clouds found in the mesosphere that reduce the amount of warming solar radiation reaching the earth\u2019s surface. <\/p>\n<p>Shaidurov has used a detailed analysis of the mean temperature change by year for the last 140 years and explains that there was a slight decrease in temperature until the early twentieth century. This flies in the face of current global warming theories that blame a rise in temperature on rising carbon dioxide emissions since the start of the industrial revolution. Shaidurov, however, suggests that the rise, which began between 1906 and 1909, could have had a very different cause, which he believes was the massive Tunguska Event, which rocked a remote part of Siberia, northwest of Lake Baikal on the 30th June 1908. <\/p>\n<p>The Tunguska Event, sometimes known as the Tungus Meteorite is thought to have resulted from an asteroid or comet entering the earth\u2019s atmosphere and exploding. The event released as much energy as fifteen one-megaton atomic bombs. As well as blasting an enormous amount of dust into the atmosphere, felling 60 million trees over an area of more than 2000 square kilometres. Shaidurov suggests that this explosion would have caused \"considerable stirring of the high layers of atmosphere and change its structure.\" Such meteoric disruption was the trigger for the subsequent rise in global temperatures.<\/p>\n<p>Tags: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/global+warming\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\">global warming<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/environment\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\">environment<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"color:#008;text-align:right\"><em>Powered by<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.qumana.com\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Qumana<\/a><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"http:\/\/environment.guardian.co.uk\/climatechange\/story\/0,,2004397,00.html\">Here is what<\/a> the US Government and the Oil companies are doing to stall any thought and discussion on global warming.
