Climatic changes are correlated with the degradation of biosphere. It is a question of saving life on authors planet. The authors should begin taking strong measures, else Earth has a chance to repeat the destiny of Mars and Venus, as some scientists are afraid of. So reasoning like "When will it be and will it be at all" is for lazy, careless and selfish people. Now, because of the industrial emission of greenhouse gases, the temperature of the atmosphere is growing, the climate is changing: sudden temperature differences, snowfalls where it used to be impossible, thickness of arctic ice decrease is about 40% (a great ice-hole has been found on the north pole), repetition of droughts has increased in 8 times, power of hurricanes-2 times, increased power of floods. This is the result of lack of foresight, over-materialism and greediness, unwillingness to see the consequences because of the momentary advantages. How it is possible to trap CO2, SO2 and other gases? Commercially gas purification at thermoelectric power stations, ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy plants, cement and chemical plants is being made with filters and cyclones that trap solid parts, and using different absorptive and adsorptive methods.

In order to verify its potential, three collecting points of temperature and humidity were placed in an urban area close to the municipal dam. The first one was placed on the dam margin, the second one, 50 m distant of the margin and, the third one, 100 m distant. The data were taken during December 2010 and then compared to the climate data of the Climate Station of CIIAGRO-Integrated Center of Agro Meteorological. The results show that the closer the collection point is to the water body, and the lower is the temperature variation. The humidity taxes verified at the closest point to the water body indicate values higher than those ones collected at the most distant point. The insertion of moisture through the water bodies in an urban environment demonstrated to be a strategy that improved the thermal conditions and has to be considered for urban planners to establish strategies of urban occupation.展开更多
