Against Global Climate Change Impacts the World of Agriculture and Fisheries

Against Global Climate Change Impacts the World of Agriculture and FisheriesSATURDAY, NOVEMBER 06 2010 14:59 DEDI SYAFIKRI, S. KEL, M. SIThe phenomenon of global warming has an impact on changing the order of the current world climate we have felt its impact globally. Global climate change (global climate change) have a substantial impact on the community in all facets of life in Indonesia and the world at large. One possible cause is an increase in emissions of greenhouse gases that drive the increase in temperature of the earth.
Based on data and information from several institutions and researchers in climate and weather, global climate change has affected the agriculture and fisheries of the world. Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency also explained that weather deviation has occurred in Indonesia as a result of sea surface temperature anomalies that tend to warm. These anomalies also occur in some countries such as Pakistan, China and Russia.
In Sumbawa own global impact of climate change are felt not only by the fishermen who focused his efforts to find and catch fish in the sea, but also the whole society, especially farmers who where the profession is hailed by most people and the Indonesian island of Sumbawa in general.
Last year many farmers who experienced crop failure and the fishermen not to fish due to climatic conditions and erratic weather.Schedule and pattern tanampun changes, this condition is exacerbated because most of our farmers and fishermen in particular in Sumbawa is traditional farming and fishing communities in which climate and weather is a determining factor as well as limiting the success of their businesses.
Jane Lubchenco Head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA) United States during a visit to Indonesia some time ago explained that climate change has raised the circulation of ocean currents of the world or which is known as the Great Ocean Conveyor Belt has been changed. This raises a significant impact on the sea and resulted in extreme conditions. Sea water can become very hot or very cold otherwise.
Meanwhile, Head of Marine and Fisheries Research Agency (BRKP) Dr. Gellwynn Joseph in one of the national mass media said, with a circulation of ocean currents changing the world, will bring enormous impact, especially in the field of fisheries. The results of scientific studies conducted by KETrenberth prove that during the last 50 years, the temperature of the earth's atmosphere and the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions continue to rise, which directly raise the temperature condition is also a component of the earth including aquatic, ie rivers, lakes and seas.In one of his "Effects of Global Climate Change on Marine and Estuarine Fishes and Fisheries", JM Roessig mention that in the last 10 years, paras 0.1 to 0.3 m sea level rise and the possibility of covering an area of ​​1 million km2. Armi Susandi, climate change expert from the Bandung Institute of Technology will kick this thing, he said that if sea levels rise as high as 1 meter, the estimated area of ​​346,808 hectares of paddy fields and also the 700 islands in Indonesia will be threatened with drowning the island where 5% of them are inhabited.
If not treated immediately and seek appropriate solutions, global climate change (global climate change) fear it would threaten our food security system. Even today we realize it or not global climate change has an impact on agriculture and fisheries sector in Indonesia and the world of both large-scale and traditional, in the end these conditions impact on the decline in revenues as well as inhibit rotation of the wheels of the economy.
Because the impact of global climate change can occur directly or indirectly, and appear in a different time variations, then the required alertness, strategy and planning from local government and pmerintah by utilizing technological innovations, conduct studies and establish konfrehansif and multidisciplinary worktogether with all parties to be able to expect and anticipating the impact of the wider phenomenon of global climate change it.
