Erb Reporter Rising shorelines, spreading deserts and increasing global temperatures could become irreversible facts of life on Earth if man does not curtail his destruction of forests and burning of fossil fuels, scientists studying the greenhouse effect warn. Michael Flynn, meteorologist in charge of the Na tional Weather Service’s Southwest Agricultural Weather Service Center, said the earth can he consid ered a giant greenhouse with atmospheric gases acting as glass. “In a greenhouse,” Flynn said, “short-wave solar ra diation passes through the glassed roof and is con verted to long-wave, infrared radiation. This long-wave energy, in the form of heat, is trapped in the green house by the opacity of the glass to infrared radiation.” ergy and for transportation, work as partners in the production of surplus carbon dioxide. All plant life converts carbon dioxide, through pho tosynthesis, into oxygen. An increasing number of au tomobiles and decreasing acreage of forestland trans late into increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The obvious but not-so-easily-achieved solutions to the problem are a dramatic decrease in the destruction of Earth’s forests and development of energy sources that don’t emit carbon dioxide. Hydrogen is one such source. Dr. A. John Appleby, director of Texas A&M’s Cen ter for Electrochemistry, said researchers in California are working on a method of coproduction of electricity and hydrogen from coal. Hydrogen, Appleby said, is the ideal source of energy — it doesn’t emit carbon di oxide into the atmosphere. On a global scale, Flynn said, incoming solar radia tion can pass through the gases in earth’s atomosphere, but once converted to heat, it is trapped. The main culprit, he said, is carbon dioxide, a by product of the combustion of fossil fuels. Since 1958, carbon dioxide concentrations in the at mosphere have increased 25 percent, upsetting nature’s thermostat and causing mean global temperatures to begin to rise. The first five months of 1988 were the warmest in the past 100 years — as far back as the re cords go. Predictions of impending consequences include melt ing polar ice caps, rising sea levels, spreading deserts and shrinking forests. Destruction of tropical forests — for lumber, agricul ture or by acid rain — and burning of fossil fuels for en- “Any carbon dioxide that did result from the produc tion process,” Appleby said, “could be disposed of in liq uid form in the deep ocean, with no environmental con sequences at all.” Reforestation efforts, combined with development of carbon dioxideless energy sources, could minimize the greenhouse effect. And it is not only diminished photo synthesis that renders deforestation a threat. Dr. J. P. van Buijtenen, department head of Refores tation at the Texas Forest Service, said that most of wood’s carbon is tied up in lignum and cellulose com pounds, which are converted to carbon dioxide when wood is burned, adding to deforestation’s role in the greenhouse effect. Reforestation efforts, van Buijtenen said, are being started around the world. He said that India and China have embarked on massive reforestation programs. INS measure creates worry among aliens SAN JUAN (AP) — Immigrant advocates said Thursday a new gov ernment cost-cutting measure threatens to deny legal status to many undocumented aliens who ap plied for amnesty under the new im migration law. The Immigration and Naturaliza tion Service last month sent letterslo thousands of aliens nationwide ad vising them that their initial inter views had been changed to an earlier date. INS officials said the interviews were rescheduled to cut costs and to clear a backlog of applications be fore the end of the federal fiscal year on Sept. 30, and to clear the way for the second phase of the amnesty program. Those not responding to the re scheduling letters, however, are threatened with possible denial of their amnesty applications, accord ing to a second notice being mailed this week. Members of the Legalization Co alition of the Rio Grande Valley, a self-styled immigrant advocacy group, said many amnesty appli cants in the lower Rio Grande Valles who originally had interviews sched tiled as late as December have trav eled out of the area to seek work during the interim. “We strongly believe that the ap plicants should not lose their once- in-a-lifetime opportunity to legalize their status simply because of this whim of the INS,” said coalition member Carter White, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union. But Ellen Pesserillo, an assistant outreach specialist with the INS’13- state southern region based in Dal las, said the language in the second notice “is intended to motivate peo ple to come in and reschedule.” The INS spokesman said she does not expect amnesty applications to be denied because of a failure to show up for the rescheduled inter views. “It doesn’t say your application will be denied ... it says it maybe," Pesserillo said.

Members appointed to juvenile justice panel AUSTIN (AP) — Gov. Bill Clem ents on Thursday appointed 33 Tex ans, including former Houston Oiler Earl Campbell, to a panel that will monitor and recommend im provements to the state’s juvenile justice and delinquency prevention programs. “Our war on crime will not be suc cessful unless we fight the battle on all fronts. The war cannot be won without confronting our juvenile crime problem head-on,” Clements said in a statement. “This advisory board will ensure that the state’s efforts in this regard are first-rate,” he said. The statewide Governor’s Juve nile Justice and Delinquency Preven tion Advisory Board will review all Texas applications for federal juve nile justice and delinquency preven tion grants, and submit an annual report on the status of the state’s ef forts to reduce crime committed by Texas youths. ti d Apo/Ltmenti wuth cutt the. exXAcu, * UloZktng d-Lstanee to A£M FuZty FuAntihed Cove/ied Pcviktng Foot LaundAy Fa.cdJLLtA.et> Woa heA/VnyeA/> IncZuded Wc oitLy havt a £cjo auaJLiabtt ion the FALL AtmeAtv Come by today iox yoan. bct,t Aetc.ct.Lon!! t BedAjOom* AttVLtcny at $350* vaAy at each pnopenty TAOS NEWPORT 402 Nagle 846-8960
