Global Cooling is Now Imminent, is Unstoppable And Will Be Severe!
2008-04-07 15:46:00
Global cooling is now imminent, is unstoppable, will be severe and the media have put a complete blackout on the waning Sun. The cause if this cooling! The Earth's climate will continue to cool during the next 20 years and enter a new Little Ice Age!Unfortunately preparing for global cooling and its consequences is something that the world is not doing, instead because of the current delusional state of climatology science which has been distorted by an eco-fundamentalistic and political agenda the world is now preparing for global warming and is fighting the perceived menace from increasing levels of greenhouse gases.I find it scary that nobody is discussing the coming cooling except for a few people active in forums dedicated to solar changes and solar physics. It's a total news blackout, yet it is the most important earth change that is about to happen in the near future.Actually, it has already started in small scale. The signs of a cooling world are all over, but nobody seems...

Energy Conservation Tips For People
2008-04-06 19:43:00
Energy conservation is something you just have to invest in. If you do not do so, you are harming the environment and you are keeping the cost of fuel very high. Any of us can benefit by using a few of these tips to help us to shave the costs of energy within our homes and even in the business. Which will you do first?1. Check windows and repair as needed. As one of the largest energy losses, it is necessary to consider this need as one the first priorities on your list.2. Check your water heater. Is it set at the lowest possible comfortable and sanitary setting? It is insulated for optimum benefit? Doing these things will insure that your water heater is working at its best for energy savings.3. As your light bulbs burn out, switch to florescent Energy Star light bulbs. These will last you quite a long while. They will also use less than half of the amount of energy to light your room. Don't do this all at once, but slowly as needed.4. Turn off anything that you can. Lower the set...

Three Alternative Energy Sources
2008-04-05 16:03:00
Searching out alternative energy options is needed now more than ever before, because of the rising cost of oil and the threat of Global Warming. With the conditions of the World today, we all should be looking at the alternatives that are available to us. The signs of environmental changes cannot be ignored, even by those of us who are not scientists or environmentalists, yet it will ultimately depend on each one of us to make the adjustments necessary in our lifestyle habits and spending. Collectively, we can all help to save the earth from the threat of impending devastation, if we act now by switching to natural and renewable energy resources.The three energy sources I will focus on have been around for years, and as time passes their respective technology and efficiency increases. These three energy sources are Solar Panels, Wind Turbines, and Geothermal Power.Solar PanelsSolar energy was first being utilized, more than 100 years ago, since the middle of the industrial revoluti...

Expert Urged to Tax Parents with More Kids
2008-04-04 18:25:00
With the ongoing talks on the effects of climate change to the world, an Australian doctor proposed to charge couples exceeding two children with lifelong climate change tax.This is a way of having sustainable funds in the fight against accumulating gas emissions caused by human activities.Such proposal had been published in the Medical Journal of Australia seeking parents to pay AU$5,000 ($4,400) per additional child and AU$800 every succeeding year.Professor Barry Walters at the King Edward Memorial Hospital in Perth said using contraceptives and procedures to stop conception would be helpful to gain carbon credits.Walters added this proposal if ever will be implemented applies to everyone and the carbon tax that will be collected will be used in funding the planting of more trees in combating the pollution produced by extra kids.Walters' proposal was in relation to his criticism on the prize that the Australian government's is giving for a couple who will have an extra child to...

Forestry and Global Warming - How Can Our Forests Effect Climate Change
2008-04-03 16:12:00
The amount of land dedicated to forests, particularly old growth forests, could significantly reduce global warming. Forests are an important use of land in most countries, and in modern times they take on a new, environmental significance. Plant life scrubs carbon dioxide from the air. Carbon dioxide is a main cause of global warming and can be eliminated just by being in the vicinity of certain plants.Trees are the best carbon dioxide scrubbers found in nature. Old growth trees are especially good at removing carbon dioxide from the air and storing it within their cells. For this reason, old growth trees need to be preserved. The lumber trade argues that the old growth trees can be easily replaced by new trees, but this is simply not the case. New trees do not possess the abilities that old trees have of preventing global warming by trapping carbon dioxide. Some proponents of cutting suggest that certain new trees are capable of trapping more greenhouse gases than the old trees. T...

Climate Change - Building Green to Reduce Global Warming
2008-04-02 15:16:00
Building green, the practice of designing and constructing buildings in an eco-friendly way, is one way to combat global warming. Houses contribute to global warming by emitting carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. In the United States, houses are responsible for 38% of the country's total carbon dioxide emissions.Building green starts with the materials that are used. Renewable and local materials are both good choices. Bamboo and straw are two examples of building materials that are easily renewable. Using materials that originate near the building site, such as stone or logs found on or near the building site, cuts down on transportation, another source of carbon dioxide emissions. Recycled materials represent another green building practice. Wood can be used from an older home that has been torn down, preventing further deforestation and the use of energy required to process trees into lumber.Minimizing the energy use needed to sustain a comfortable indoor temperature helps lessen...

We all love our computers and right now as you read this you know it is only because of your computer that you are. They give us the news, let us play games online and off, meet a dream partner, manage our investments, research vacations and homes, buy cars, bid for goods, watch home videos, create family photo albums, and so much more. Parting with you computer these days would be asking to part with your head.The ProblemWhile we all love our computers and there isn't much debate to the wonders they give us in our everyday lives a problem exists and has existed for some time. The problem is pollution. Yup our handy little buddies are part of a global problem just as much as a solution. What is the extent of the pollution? Try 90 Billion pounds of carbon dioxide a year spewed into our atmosphere in America alone.Fuel Consuming Computer Okay, your computer doesn't necessarily run on carbon fuels however the electricity it uses to run daily does and the amount used has been piling up...

Ice - The Price Of Climate Change
2008-03-31 16:13:00
When you receive the Seal you will recognize climate change as the coming End-times. You will see what is happening in the Arctic--there is much less "perennial" sea ice now and it is being replaced by short-lived sea ice.In the past 25 years much of the longer-lasting sea ice in the Arctic has melted. This includes ice that lasts for 2 to 5 years or even 6 years or more. Now there appears to be plenty of ice cover, but it is seasonal ice.The seasonal ice lasts for about a year. It increases in the winter and melts away by the end of summer, so it lasts 1 year or less. Now more than 2/3 of the sea ice in the Arctic is this seasonal ice.The winter of 2007-2009 was the coldest winter since 2001. That means plenty of seasonal ice formed in the cold. But that is not necessarily good news, because that ice is not likely to replace the lost perennial ice.That ice buildup is likely to be gone within a year. So the weather variation of a cooler year seems to be building up some ice, but it ...

How Global Warming Could Cause An Ice Age
2008-03-30 18:44:00
An Ice Age brought on by global warming was the scenario depicted in the movie THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW. While the science on which the movie based has been called into question, there may be some merit in the theory that global warming could cause an Ice Age.Why is Europe's climate comparitively milder than other places at the same latitude? Alaska and Greenland, both the same distance to the North Pole as Europe, are covered with ice and permafrost while most of Europe is not.The ocean currents called the Gulf Stream bring warm waters up to Europe from the Caribbean. This water brings warmth to the countries in its path. Cooler water from Europe feeds back into the loop and causes the water to flow back to the Caribbean in a continuous cycle.The Gulf Stream has been significantly weakened in every major cooling event, including the last great Ice Age. In the past this weakening has been brought on by natural events. In current times, global warming brought on by human activities co...

Wind Energy - How Does It Fit Into Our Future?
2008-03-29 18:03:00
I saw a posting on Facebook this week that asked, "Is wind energy for real? I have been told that it is just hype". My thoughts were that if you lived in the Southwest you would witness daily the progress of wind energy. We in the Southeast and Northeast see occasional wind generators and do not relate to the future of wind energy. If we visited the European countries, especially Germany, we would see a major growth in wind energy generation. The progression of harvesting energy from moving air can no longer be thought of as tilting at windmills. Wind energy will be a major player in the replacement of fossil fuels.The key reason for the acceptance of wind energy is its dropping cost for electrical energy. Over the past three decades, the cost of a watt of electricity generated by wind has dropped to equal the cost of fossil fuel. During the 1970s, turbine blades were 32 feet long and wind power cost $2.00 per kilowatt (kW-hr). Today, wind turbines with blades 130 feet long have cut...

The Truth About Termites and Pest Control - My Home and Global Warming
2008-03-28 14:26:00
Many scientists argue over the issue of Global Warming , some say the climate change is caused by man's pollution, mainly CO2. Others completely disagree stating that the Planet cools and heats in cycles that have been going on for 5 Billion years and it is absurd for humankind to think they have a major roll in causing it or in trying to prevent it. Whether you side with the media and the Global Warming Alarmists is immaterial to the fact that pollution is problematic. But did you know that your home could be giving off much more greenhouse gasses than you realize?It's true, in fact termites cause greenhouse gasses as they eat away at your house, indeed they are one of the largest contributors. Hard to believe isn't it, that is to say it's hard to believe something so small as a termite could cause such a huge problem, but that is how the percentages and statistics stack up. Many home owners are adverse to using chemicals to kill termites or pests in their home, but they need to...

Global Cooling Might Make Arizona a Skating Rink for Caribou
2008-03-27 15:58:00
The real problem with global warming is that global warming will lead to global cooling and to the next Ice Age. Soon we will have the Caribou that live in Canada migrating down to live in the Arizona desert or maybe trampling folks coming to Arizona from the other direction? Global warming alarmists only have it half right, as there only talking about the 20 foot increase in the ocean's levels and the extreme heat.They forgot to mention that this will flip the pendulum the other way and cause an Ice Age and it is all because of man's polluting with CO2 and greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. In fact global warming alarmists are also considering claiming that continental drift, volcanoes, solar flares and the collective consciousness that drive's Prozac sales are all being caused by mankind's CO2 emissions and pollution, which is causing the global warming.Global warming alarmists are now investing in solar companies because it will be so hot and so sunny that they figure that t...

3 Ways to Save Big With Solar Energy
2008-03-26 14:31:00
Solar energy isn't just for electrical gurus or families able to make a large initial investment, it's for everyone. As the price of solar panels comes down and solar technology more efficient, solar energy is quickly becoming a way for the average family to save big on their monthly energy bills. Keep reading for 3 ways you can save a lot of money in your home with solar energy.1. Go solar in the garden.You pay nothing for electricity that comes from the sun, so why not use it in your home's sunniest spot - the garden? Several manufacturers offer solar-powered exterior lights that can illuminate porches, pathways, stairwells and gardens. Some are even bright enough to provide security lighting.These extremely efficient solar lights use electricity generated by sunlight falling on photovoltaic (solar) cells, which is then stored in a rechargeable battery for use at night. Separate units that have a self-contained solar panel usually need to be placed in a sunny spot during the da...

Answers to 5 Common Questions About Climate Change
2008-03-25 05:31:00
With an Academy Award for "An Inconvenient Truth" and a Nobel Peace Prize, Al Gore is arguably the most public face associated with environmental issues today. Yet with all of the discussion surrounding climate change, global warming, greenhouse gases, renewable energy, and fuel conservation, many people don't understand the basics. These and other catchphrases are often used as shorthand when discussing the results of scientific studies, but those studies are frequently written in such a scholarly way that they're inaccessible to the average person. Here, then, are answers to five common questions about environmental issues.1. Isn't global warming just a theory?Global warming is a theory, but that doesn't mean it's not real. Theories are the basis of all scientific work, whether that work is in medicine, astrophysics, or climate change. The evidence scientists have collected thus far indicates that ice caps are melting at an unprecedented rate, weather patterns are changing, a...

Climate Change - Forecasting the Future of Global Warming
2008-03-24 05:13:00
Most people agree that the long-term effects of global warming will be disastrous for the planet and its inhabitants. But predicting the exact future impact it will have is a very complex task. Those who make predictions about its long-term effects are not likely to do so with one hundred percent accuracy.Some of the difficulties inherent in forecasting future effects of global warming have to do with those same factors that make it hard for meteorologists to predict the weather correctly on a day-to-day basis. Winds can cool the air or warm it depending on the direction they take. Cloud cover can cool a hot day. Air masses move and cause storms as cool fronts and warm fronts collide. Ocean currents can change the temperature of the land on which they strike. The earth's atmosphere is constantly in a cycle of evaporation and precipitation. As ice melts in the Polar Regions due to global warming, the ocean temperatures are affected. Evaporation rates are in flux. The courses and spe...

Renewable Energy Overview
2008-03-23 19:16:00
As political and economic aspects of fossil fuels grow more harrowing, renewable energy is gaining popularity. Here?s an overview of renewable energy.Renewable Energy Overview Renewable energy is more difficult to define than you might imagine. Since it is a catchall phrase for a variety of energy sources, any definition has to be broad. With this in mind, let?s define renewable energy as any energy source that naturally occurs and is very abundant.Ironically, almost all renewable energy sources rely on nuclear power. Fortunately, the nuclear power is in the form of the sun at the heart of our solar system. One giant nuclear reaction, the sun produces solar radiation and sunlight that is converted on our planet into energy through natural resources. In one form or another, sunlight is the basis for solar power, wind energy, biomass power, and so on. Fossil fuels, on the other hand, are a form of biomass energy, but an ancient one with resource limits and brutal side effects in the fo...

Help Save The Environment and Save Yourself Money
2008-03-22 15:17:00
I recently saw a documentary of glacier erosion in Bolivia which in a few years will rob the country of much of its supply of fresh water. This came after seeing another documentary a few weeks earlier talking about receding snow and ice in Antarctica and glacier erosion in the northern hemisphere. However complicated the theories of global warming may be and however hard it is to make an absolute determination about the truth of these theories, it certainly does appear that some of the key predictions of this theory are being realized.So what can we do? Firstly we must accept as fact that some damage has already been done due to the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions that we have already pumped into the atmosphere and sometime down the road the results of this problem will have to be addressed. Given that we can't take back what we have already done then how can we reduce our CO2 emissions going into the future?My thought on this is that one of the biggest (and certainly lowest cost) ...

Global Glacier Melt Means Climate Calamity
2008-03-21 16:23:00
When you receive the Seal you will see climate change as the coming End-times. You will be interested to learn how glaciers all around the world are quickly melting, threatening calamity for billions of people.One of the biggest problems with the melting of the glaciers is the long-term problem of water supply. Many people in the world get their fresh water from glaciers which store up water from snow like a bank and dispense it when it melts.But the glaciers are melting too fast now, and many of them will be completely gone within decades. Few glaciers will remain at the end of the 21st century. And in some places in the world, hundreds of millions of people depend on them.360 million people in India and 388 million in China depend on rivers fed by glaciers. Not only will they not be able to produce enough food to survive, but that will push up food prices worldwide to incredibly high levels.Models predict more droughts because of less rainfall and that will effect production of cr...

When you receive the Seal you will see climate change as the coming End of the world. You will be interested in the latest s talks hoping to curb climate change, the meeting of the "G20" in the middle of March 2008.The G20 are the world's 20 top emitters of greenhouse gases, those gases blamed for trapping in the heat of the sun but not letting it escape, therefore warming the world steadily.The G20 met in Japan, some of them rich countries and some of them poor countries. All agreed something needs to be done about global warming. But the poor countries did not agree on the methods.Former British prime minister Tony Blair was at the meetings. He has become an activist in the fight against global warming. He told the poor nations they definitely need to be involved in fighting climate change.The poor nations were not so willing without what they consider the keeping of the promises of the rich nations. They want the rich nations to make cuts in emissions and help them by sharing te...

Global Warming - Truth or Hoax?
2008-03-19 15:42:00
We've been hearing the warnings of global warming problems for quite some time now. The push is on to promote green living to help save the environment and stop some of the effects of global warming.Are those threats real or is this just hype to further political awareness? Global warming refers to the temperature of the earth near surface air. It allows the earth to be habitable, as it absorbs some of the heat from the sun.Greenhouse gases that have been released into the earth's atmosphere are contributing to the rise in the surface air temperature. What impact is this having on earth right now? Scientists show that the average temperature has risen in the last century.It's believed that most of that increase has come in the last couple of decades. With the increase steadily rising, scientists believe that it will continue to rise at an even faster pace for the future.Arctic ice is slowly disappearing over time. The warmer temperatures caused by the global warming effects are m...

How to Challenge Global Warming
2008-03-18 15:09:00
It is almost unavoidable to live in this era and not hear anything about global warming. On the other hand, there are still a lot of people who have not got a clue about what global warming is and what steps they can take to prevent it.What comes to everybody's mind is: Why is global warming happening? Human beings have been increasing the use of fossil fuels in order to heat their homes, run their cars and also their factories. The burning of fossil fuels leads to the creation of gases and chemicals, called greenhouse gases, which are collected in the atmosphere like a thickening blanket. They stay in earth's atmosphere for many years. This massive air pollution which really is like a thickening blanket traps the heat of the sun and causes the planet to warm up. There exist some specific gases which are used in refrigerators and spray cans that can add to the collection of the gases already mentioned.Another thing people have done over years is cutting down trees in rain forests....

Bush Criticized Over Inaction Against Climate Change
2008-03-17 16:20:00
If European Commission (EC) President Jose Manuel Barroso will evaluate the efforts of the U.S. against the complex problems arising from climate change, surely it will get a failing grade.Barroso is disappointed to President George W. Bush 's no direct policies on solving the crises brought by climate change. He anticipates that whoever replaces the incumbent American president in 2009, he or she will be a better planner in responding to the environmental problem.The EC President remarked during the seminar in Oslo that the three contending American presidentiables have promising platforms on climate change and foresees to see those action plans be implemented.Barroso said trends are showing a favorable sign that sooner there will be a clear-cut steps in combating climate change coming from a superpower nation like the U.S. But he added that this will only be a tip of the iceberg solution and more reinforcements have yet to take place in recognizing the sincerity of the platforms.C...

Science, Healthy Lifestyles & Global Warming - Mandarins in Manhattan
2008-03-15 14:43:00
Throughout the expansion of people around the earth the movements have generally spread east and west out of Africa, and most have stayed in the wide central middle climate zones between both poles where the science shows that healthy lifestyles are easier if you can grow crops all year. Thus in the west it was that as people migrated to the north from Egypt they found winter storms could happen in Athens or Rome. And thus developed the need for storage for the times when science says if the average temperature falls below 40 F crops will not grow.And after the times of Alexander the Great, the creation of his majestic port at the mouth of the life giving Nile made possible increasing crops in ever fertile Egypt to soon become the bread basket for Athens and then Rome. And even before Athens back into the far reaches of time, people had been forced southward in Europe and all northern regions of earth, at both poles really.

Global Warming - Fact Or Fiction?
2008-03-14 19:29:00
Some people who have studied global issues would say there was no such thing as global warming and it is all a big hoax. However, others disagree and believe that since the industrial revolution, we are having a negative affect on our environment.The best place to start is to look at what we have already been led to believe.The Greenhouse effect is the relationship between the earth and the sun. The sun provides the earth with the heat and energy it needs and the earth releases back that energy into space.The greenhouse effect comes into play as the gases in the earth trap that energy so that it cannot be released back into space therefore, warming the earths environment.The greenhouse effect is a natural process and vital to our survival, without it, the earth would be too cold to live in.Gases such as Methane, Carbon dioxide and water vapour all trap energy from the sun and enable the warming of the earth.It is commonly known that plants provide Carbon dioxide, but not so commonly...

Forget Global Warming Scare Tactics - Fear Global Cooling
2008-03-13 15:02:00
About fifteen years ago there was a group of scientists claiming that the Ice Age was coming and many had bought bumper stickers to remind us of the whole ordeal that would kill 2/3 of all life on Earth. Today, Al Gore and a group of socialists and scientists claim we are all going to die from massive flooding due to too much CO2 in the atmosphere, that simply is not so.So who can you believe? After all if the atmosphere is thickened with particulate that will cause severe storms supposedly, which means more evaporation which means more water in the sky, which means it will block the sun's rays and then the regions will cool again? Ah ha, a self-sustaining system, by gosh I think you now understand why all this is so irrelevant.Indeed the "Dimming of the Sun" seems like an obvious way to affect global cooling, thru Volcanic Activity, increased evaporation, meteor strike sending a trillion tons into the atmosphere of debris.

A-Z Of Global Warming - Biofuels
2008-03-10 14:45:00
This second article from The A-Z of Global Warming deals with biofuels, which will undoubtedly be a phrase that will be heard a lot more often over the coming years, but what are they?, where do they come from?, and what is their significance in relation to global warming?Biofuels can be described as any fuel that is derived from biomass ie living organisms or their metabolic by-products. For example, crops such as corn and dung from living animalsAlthough there is still somewhat of a scientific debate going on over the advantages of biofuels, it is thought that the main advantage over fossil fuels (coal,oil and gas), is that the burning of biofuels to release energy does not cause a net increase of CO2 levels in the atmosphere. This is because the source of the biofuel, crops for example, have already taken a corresponding amount of CO2 out from the atmosphere during their growth cycle when they photosynthesise. When this occurs, plants/crops release oxygen and retain the carbon to...
The Scene In Greenland-Cost Of Ice Loss
2008-03-09 07:10:00
When you receive the Seal you will see global warming as the sign of the End-times coming. You will see the speeding up of the current melting of the Greenland ice sheet which is already raising sea levels worldwide.A new study by NASA shows the Greenland ice sheet is increasing in surface temperatures, and that is contributing to its melting. The melting is increasing as surface temperatures increase.It has been estimated the Greenland ice sheet could be completely melted in 300 years. And it could be sooner since most symptoms of global warming are already happening faster than predicted.When the Greenland ice sheet completely melts it will raise sea levels worldwide around 26 feet. That will be completely catastrophic, submerging coastal cities on the East coast in the United States for instance.In the 20th century, sea levels have risen by 2 millimeters per year just from the melting of the Greenland ice sheet. And now the warming is increasing each year with rising air temperat...

When you receive the Seal you will see global warming as the sign of the End-times approaching. You will see how smoke and soot is dimming the sunlight reaching China and India.The soot is black carbon. It warms the upper atmosphere but actually cools the lower atmosphere a little. That means there is warming of the earth happening from the upper atmosphere.And at the same time there is a cooling happening below since some of the sun is being blotted out. This cooling can make the Indian monsoon much worse, causing more catastrophic flooding than ever before.The Himalayan glaciers are also in trouble, and those provide water for hundreds of millions of people. In just a few decades it is predicted the glaciers will be depleted enough that huge numbers of people will not have water.The soot collects on the glaciers, darkening them so they absorb more sunlight and melt even faster. Emissions of this soot are rising in both India and China. But what would happen if the air were cleaned...

Huge Hunger For Energy In India
2008-03-07 19:34:00
When you receive the Seal you will see climate change as the sign of the coming End of the world. You will be interested in the fast-growing hunger India has for energy and the pollution that goes with it.The government of India says it expects that in the next 25 years the energy needs of India will quadruple. It is a country with currently (in March 2008) over a billion people, and energy demand is going to outstrip population growth. Half of the people in India do not have electricity. And the per capita pollution coming from India is much less than that of industrialized nations. So India has not agreed to any international plans to cut emissions.India has vowed that its emissions will never be above the current level of emissions in the developed world. That is the effort it is taking. The promise it swears by. But it is not nearly enough to stave off global warming. India puts less than 5 percent of the greenhouse gas emissions of the world into the air. Nevertheless, India is...
