Scientist: Man must act now
to prevent earth’s warming
By Susan B. 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.

break under his favorite shade tree near the Academic Building.

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.
