片长70分钟的纪录片《±2℃~台湾必须面对的真相》是第一部纪录台湾气候变迁的纪录片
描述全球暖化对台湾这块土地的影响,令人不安的讯息是气候上升摄氏1.5~2度
海平面就可能上升到6公尺远高于目前联合国 IPCC 估计的1.4公尺

全球气温升高不到2℃时:
北极冰帽会消融,令到北极熊无家可归,更令到地球能量平衡急剧改变,因为在夏季时,可反射光和热的冰层被颜色更深的海面 所代替;这种情况预计会在2030年甚至更早的时候就会出现。
因为海水变暖,将导致大量的珊瑚虫死亡,还将给海洋生物多样性造成严重冲击,热带 珊瑚礁会遭受严重且反复出现的白化危机。
干旱将在亚热带蔓延,随之而来的是热浪和严重的山火。受灾最严重的将是地中海地区、美国西南部、非洲南 部及澳洲。

全球气温升高2℃到3℃时:
像2003年发生在欧洲导致3万人死亡的夏季热浪将演变成年度事件。酷热将让英格兰南 部的气温达到40多摄氏度。
亚马逊雨林将经历一个“转折点”,极端高温和雨水减少将导致其退化,大部分树木都将被烧毁并由沙漠和草原取而代之。
二氧化碳溶解后让海水越来越偏于酸性,从而毁掉余下的珊瑚礁并且灭掉大量作为海洋食物链基础的浮游生物。现在,随着格陵兰冰原的消失,海平面上 升几米已是不可避免。

全球气温升高3℃到4℃时:
世界各地山脉上冰川和积雪的消融将耗尽下游城市和农田所依赖的淡水。最受影 响的地区包括加州、秘鲁、巴基斯坦以及中国。随着欧洲、亚洲和美国的主要产粮区遭受旱灾以及让农作物不堪负荷的热浪袭击,全球粮食生产将出现危机。
墨 西哥湾流明显减弱。全球变暖让欧洲不大可能再降温,但海洋变化将改变天气模式并导致在美国东部和英国的海平面上升得比其他地方更快。

全 球气温升高4℃到5℃时:
由于西伯利亚永久冻土的融化将释放大量甲烷,形成一种强效温室效应并进一步推动全球变暖,另一个转折点到了。大部分位 于南欧、北非、中东以及其他亚热带地区的人类居住地将由于过度炎热和干旱而变得不再适宜居住。人类文明的重点将移向两极,因为那里足够凉快适宜农作物生 长,而且会有持续降雨(尽管这会带来严重水灾)。所有的海上浮冰都从两极消失了,安第斯山脉、阿尔卑斯山脉以及洛矶山山脉上的冰川也消失了。

全 球气温升高5℃到6℃时:
全球平均气温达到5000万年来最高。北极地区气温的上升将大大高于平均的上升幅度达到20℃,这意味着整个北极地区 将是全年无冰的。大多数的热带、亚热带地区甚至是更低的中纬度地区将由于太热而变得无法居住。海平面上升速度此时迅猛得足以让世界各地大多数的沿海城市被 丢弃。

全球气温升高6℃或以上时:
也许海洋甲烷水合物的释放将导致“变暖失控”的危险出现。地球表面会不会变得像金星那样完 全不适宜居住?大多数海洋生物都死了,余下的人类只能困居于高地和极地区域。人口数量大幅减少,也许90%的物种会灭绝,情况堪与地球45亿年历史中最严 重的大规模灭绝匹敌。

On Yoga
Yoga has transformed my life. Yoga came into my life 7 years ago. I was looking for a lower cost treatment that can heal my back injury 7 years ago. Ever since then, I am with yoga until now.
I share yoga with everyone, different skin colour, different age, and different religions. Yoga practice is suitable for every human being on the earth. I will be sharing my On Yoga diary from time to time to benefit anyone out there who wants to know more.
