The Year of Sun-Made Global Cooling
2008-03-06 06:28:00
The man-made global warming crowd is at it again. Global warming will kill the fish and destroy the coral reefs during the next fifty years according to a new report released last week by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP). The report, the work of UNEP scientists in collaboration with universities and institutes in Europe and the United States, was released during the meeting of the UNEP Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environment Forum taking place in Monaco.The problem for the multi-billion dollar international business called man-made global warming is that the Earth's temperature rise is in fact over. Indeed, in the future, we will not have to worry about the extinction of the polar bear, a massive rise in sea level, terrible hurricanes, no fish, no coral reefs, melting artic ice, and all the other hysteria predicted and hyped by the prophets of the man-made global warming .The irony is that as the proponents of man-made global warming were meeting in Monaco and releasing...

The Prime Reasons and Causes Of Global Warming
2008-03-05 17:19:00
Global warming is a phenomenon that has been discussed widely nowadays and global warming causes are one of the most studied subjects presently in the world. Through out the world many governments, institutes and universities are trying to find out what are the causes for global warming. As the effects of global warming is becoming more and more evident, many of us have started to realize that steps have to be taken to control Global warming at the earliest and various countries and people have started working towards it.The earth, the 3rd planet of our solar system, the planet brimming with life and beautiful landscape, is on the verge of getting destroyed. The main reason is global warming. Global warming is the slow and steady increase in the temperature of earth and its atmosphere. The increase in the temperature of earth has caused many effects like the melting of ice in Polar Regions, increase in disease occurrences, drastic climatic changes including rainfall and dry periods....

Global Warming: The Cosmic Microwave
2008-03-04 15:38:00
Global warming is the heating up of the earth?s temperatures. This has been studied in great detail during recent times and scientists are trying to find ways to slow down or stop global warming.The main issue with global warming is how off balance it will throw the world. With the temperatures steadily getting hotter and hotter it can start to melt the icecaps and let harmful UV rays from the sun in. These effects will cause massive damage to the earth and the way we live life.Before you get scared of all this you should know there are solutions. The first solution comes in the form of fossil fuels. We use gasoline and diesel to power our cars, boats, planes, trains and most any moving vehicle we have. The problem comes when the fossil fuel is being burned and the exhaust hits the atmosphere effectively destroying it. This also applies to homes, businesses, and anything that requires electricity.The best way to fight these negative effects is by using alternative fuel sources. By u...

China Finds Others Guilty Of Global Warming
2008-03-04 03:55:00
When you receive the Seal you will see global warming as the sign of the end-times. You will be interested to see a new complication in the greening of the world--China is demanding further exemption from making any cuts in emissions.China is claiming developing countries have the responsibility to do "much more" than China to stop global warming because they have a "historical responsibility," being the countries that caused the warming happening so far. China called the developed countries "culprits" in bringing about climate change in the first place. This ambassador is the head of the Chinese presence in the United Nations General Assembly debate on climate change.Bali is just a few months in the past and the makeshift meeting solicited by president Bush followed that. Now the UN is already talking again about what countries are willing or able to do to stop global warming. The United States and China are the two biggest polluters in the world. Some say in recent years China has...

If Every Couple Had Only One Child, Would Global Warming Cease to Be a Prob
2008-03-03 02:33:00
No. It would help the earth a lot to lower the population, but the problem of global warming is complex. Even if there were suddenly no people on earth, global warming would not cease to be a problem and would take time to resolve. Solving global warming will require a concert of solutions. Unfortunately, what we have already done will continue to damage the ozone layer for years to come.For example, remember CFCs? They used to be in aerosol sprays and other things. They have been banned for some years but CFCs already released will continue to damage the ozone layer for many decades. They bond with particles high in our atmosphere, making our protective layer ineffective. So, even if it were possible for humans to quit causing any further damage, the problems of global warming have yet to peak. That is why it is so important for each of us, both individually and as a global culture, to do all we can now.So having only one child only would not stop the global warming problem, but lo...

Global Warming Is Hurting Us
2008-03-01 06:40:00
The world is increasingly warming. This is largely due to the emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from human activities including industrial processes, fossil fuel combustion and changes in land use, such as deforestation. These are the findings contained in the latest report of the UN-backed intergovernmental panel on Climate Change which was released in February 2007. The Indian environmentalist Dr. R.K.P., the director General of Energy and resources Institute is the Chairman of the panel.The report warns that continuations of historical trends of green house gas emissions will result in additional warning over the 21 century, with current projections of a global increase of 2.5 F to 10.4 F by 2100. The greenhouse effect has been part of the earth working since its earliest days. Gases like carbon dioxide and methane allow sunlight to reach the earth, but prevent some of the resulting heat from radiating back out into space. Without the greenhouse effect the pl...

Thanks To The Global Warming Bananas Are Cultivated In Greenland
2008-02-29 15:33:00
For many countries the global warming is a sign of the coming nature cataclysm. In tropical countries less and less precipitations fall, water reserves decrease, fires break out very often. But for inhabitants of Greenland the warming promises cheerful perspectives.Earlier it was possible to cultivate only early ripening varieties of potatoes and cold-resistant turnips on this island, that is the largest one in the world. Experts confirm that because of climate fluctuation, soon it will be possible to cultivate more vegetables, such as cabbage and lettuce.According to the scientists, the ice on the island melts 4 times faster than 10 years ago and summer temperature rises stably to +20°C. And maybe in the future, sealers and fishermen will prefer to cultivate vegetables and strawberries. Now people are creating a network of greenhouses that are warmed by means of solar batteries all the year around, and the crop is quite rich.While the whole planet is bothered with the global warmin...

Alternative Energy - Why do we Need it?
2008-02-28 17:28:00
Why Do We Need Alternative s?To answer that question, we need to start by discussing fossil fuels-what they are, where they come from, how they are used and the advantages and disadvantages of each. Within this context, the pressing need for alternatives becomes quite clear.What are fossil fuels?Most fossil fuels are formed from the remains of long-dead creatures and plants. Buried over the course of hundreds of millions of years, these carbon-based deposits have been converted by heat and pressure over time into such combustible substances as crude oil, coal, natural gas, oil shales and tar sands. A smaller portion of fossil fuels is the handful of other naturally occurring substances that contain carbon but do not come from organic sources.To make more fossil fuels would require both the creation of new topsoil filled with hydrocarbons, and time-lots of time. Given estimates of current fossil fuel reserves worldwide, it's not possible we can wait out the problem, and continue our ...

Antique Science Books Improve Our Lives - Now Global Warming Brings Many Fo
2008-02-27 18:07:00
From antique science history we are learning again the wisdom of the One Hundred Mile Rule: if a natural food product is grown within this range from you, and to your plate, the healthier you. And we agree. And yet you and we know there are exceptions to every rule found today and show up, when we read and observe, in our new or antique books. And we delight in this example from history books between Ben and Frank. Because, these two friends had a strong honest interest in the historical merit. They were also up to making, as well as reading, history.Dr.Franklin and Sir Francis created shorter religious books that would now be considered very rare religious books, as the few copies did not catch on in Britain then. People sat chilled in unheated churches and repeated long chants in Latin. That is Dr. Benjamin Franklin, if you have not been introduced, and his dear friend, soul mate, my ancestor, co author of antique books and rare religious books on their revised biblical scripts an...

The Truth About Global Warming and Hillary Care
2008-02-26 18:58:00
Somebody needs to tell the global warming crew to send a little global warmth to Indiana. Today the wind chill was -20 (and I work outside). When I was a kid there was an ensuing ice age (before it changed to global warming). Over the years these (same) fear mungers have made multiple billions $$$$ in the arena of fear exploitation.I have often wondered why nations who are not free, who have exceedingly high Co2 emissions (Can you say CHINA?) are never cited by the world community. Yet the US is always under extreme scrutiny. Why? Could it be because we're FREE? (at least for now).Last year our c02 emissions were reduced dramatically. A few years ago the global community almost had a cow because we (the US) refused to join Kioto. A few months ago ALL of the nations who joined Kioto were subjected to international fines costing billions of dollars per nation for failing to lower their co2 emissions to appropriate levels. Not one nation was able to meet these benchmarks; because thes...

Condemn the Global Warming Prophets of Doom!
2008-02-25 18:18:00
Many religious people have joined the Liberals and Democrats in calling for global warming mitigation. These religious types claim that since God built the earth he would want us to keep it very nice. There is only one problem with all that, the Pope (famous Catholic Leader) says that global warming is not real and that the prophets of doom are nothing more than fear mongering individuals with an agenda.How is it then that religious people can disavow what the Pope says and condemn those scientists who have research reports and academic studies that have been peer-reviewed that prove global warming is NOT caused by emissions of CO2 from mankind's activities. Most all scientists will agree that the Earth's atmosphere goes through changes and cycles from warming periods to cooling periods and that includes ice ages.It appears for the last 10,000 years that we have been in a warming period and life has flourished. But, now global warming alarmists are winning Nobel peace prizes for t...

Global Warming Is Partially Our Fault
2008-02-24 20:01:00
According to a recent major climate study by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), there can no longer be any doubt that humans are at least partially responsible for global warming. The study concludes that a global temperature rise of 5° C is possible by the year 2100. This global warming trend has already begun to have an astonishing effect on global climate patterns, storm intensities, and sea level rise in low-lying Pacific islands like Tuvalu.There is no longer any doubt that drastic measures must be undertaken to mitigate the advance of global warming. To do this will require a sea-change in the way we all look at and care for the planet that supports us. To engage change we must first understand the cause so that we may short-circuit the effect.Q: What is the fundamental cause of global warming?The fundamental cause of global warming, known also as climate change, is carbon dioxide, or CO². CO² is what is known as a "greenhouse gas". Greenhouse gases absorb heat ...

The Impact Of Global Warming On The Lawn Care Service Business
2008-02-24 02:46:00
Global Warming is showing how devastating an effect it can have even on the small business person.Take the lawn care business operator for example. Here is a well established business with many clients, it specializes in mowing and offers a few smaller complimentary services as well. This business has been in operation for more than 15 years.Near the end of the first decade of the business it had reached the profitable stage where the business generated regular profits of $7000.00 a month during the peak spring and summer months. It is these months that create the cash flow that carries the lawn care business during the slower months of the fall and winter.This cycle of generating the majority of the businesses income during certain months of the calendar year worked quite well during the first decade of the businesses existence and was quite dependable.During the next five years of the businesses existence sales generated during those same spring and summer months changed. The sale...

All about Electric Hybrid Cars
2008-02-22 19:51:00
For many, electric hybrid cars are a glimpse into the future of automobiles. They consume less gasoline, save money, and preserve the environment. The hybrid cards are favored by consumers, backed by the governments, and hailed by the environmental services. The raising gasoline price and increased pollution often drive more parties into the concert of promoting the electric hybrid cars.Made of plastic and aluminum, these cars are the future of the auto industry. While running on strictly energy, these hybrid vehicles will eliminate the use of large amounts of fuel each and every day. Imagine the difference one year would make if everyone on the road switched over. This idea is unrealistic, as most families do not have the money to spend on a new hybrid car.Most consumers would appreciate a hybrid car because it does not emit as much fuel when driving. The gas also shuts off immediately, once the car stops. The impact would be evident within years. Aside from being the favorite of e...

Celebrities Helping to End Global Warming
2008-02-21 18:00:00
Global warming, certainly is one of the hotly debated issues across the world. You will find that it is a topic of discussion and debate for many current affairs programmes on various electronic mediums of communication like television, radio, and internet blogs and sites. It is no surprise given the involvement of celebrities representing various fields. Records suggest that lately, many celebrities have taken a open position on the issue of globalisation which affects our mother earth.Foremost among these is the award winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio who has turned an environmentalist. He is using his celebrity status to bring many environmental issues in general and global warming in particular, into focus and make them topic of debates. HE has made numerous appearances at global warning related events. He has even a created his own documentary titled 11th Hour. Most certainly Leonardo DiCaprio has managed to leverage his celebrity status to bring much needed attention to global w...

Top 10 Ways to Stop Global Warming
2008-02-21 02:35:00
1 Quit your job. You don't really like it anyways, do you? If only half of all North Americans quit their job, or worked at home we could reduce global warming by a whopping 42%! Here at the Living Off the Grid think tank we did the math, on reducing the amount of cars on the road and the subsequent reduction in greenhouse gases that result in global warming and climate change. 42% was the lowest prediction as a matter of fact. Just think, no more traffic jams, no more boss, no more drive to work on Monday!2 Work at home. How many of you would love to work at home. Just think about the reduction in headaches and the resources you would save. That is money in your pocket because you don't need that second vehicle and time saved in the commute. Well, maybe you shouldn't quit your job, just ask to work from home. The global resources saved by this move are staggering.3. You have to Get Out of Debt. Let's face it, if you didn't have anymore debt , you probably wouldn't have to go ...

Global Carbon and the Environment
2008-02-19 19:17:00
Al Gore's documentary film, "An Inconvenient Truth" is helping to make Americans more aware of the challenges they and the rest of the world face in the very near future, as carbon dioxide levels rise at a staggering pace. While discussions of greenhouse gases, global warming, and the Kyoto Protocol have been going for some years now, Gore's film is making all of these concepts far more concrete for the average citizen. The fundamental environmental mechanism at the base of all these discussions is the global carbon cycle.About 83% of the world's carbon reserves are in the deep ocean and thus are presently unavailable for direct manipulation. Fossil carbon accounts for 11% of the total and as it is brought to the surface it is rapidly converted to carbon dioxide through industrial use and as fuel for automobiles. Even though atmospheric carbon makes up just slightly more than 1.5% of total global carbon, the concentration of this carbon, which has remained fairly constant over th...

Global Warming's Fever
2008-02-18 21:15:00
"The earth has a fever." This was a statement from Nobel Prize winning documentarian, Al Gore.Increasingly the view of mankind by mankind is that of intruder. In many ways it would seem that we are the earth's enemy and our very existence is depleting the earth of resources that could keep an environmental balance.Global warming is the belief that the temperature of the air nearest to earth is consistently rising. Droughts are blamed on global warming and new products are constantly being developed to help lessen human impact on perceived climate change.Electric or hybrid cars are thought to provide the best example of how we can reduce carbon emissions that are said to be harming the earth. Every day children are learning about global warming in school and some are even taking their parents to task for habits that may not be viewed as earth-friendly.Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were slowly eliminated when it was discovered that chlorine in this common chemical compound might be resp...

Global warming refers nothing but the climate changes that causes an increase in average temperature of the environment. For the last period of a few decades the average temperature of all the areas of the world has been increasing at a very fast rate. Scientists have shown that the average temperature of the world has already increased by around 2 degree Celsius during the past period of around five decades.The increasing temperature has helped melting more snow in cold area and. As a result the average water level of the oceans and sea has increased rapidly day to day. Again the increased water level has already flooded several island area of the world. People who were living in those islands had to shift themselves in a safe area or foreign countries for endurance.Scientists associated with several developed countries specially Britain and USA have warned that the threat of increasing trend of global temperature could be more dangerous than global terrorism. So the scientists cal...

POPS and You - Persistent Organic Pollutants
2008-02-17 02:16:00
There has been a lot of debate about global warming. On my part, I am doubtful that the industrialization of the human race is solely responsible for the warming of our atmosphere. After all, the earth has gone through many cooling and warming trends over the course of its existence and most of those have occurred before man industrialized. My current vote for most likely culprit is sunspots.Historically speaking, when sunspot activity is high, global temperatures are higher. When the sun is quiescent, global temperatures are lower. According to those in the know, we are heading shortly into a quiescent period with attendant cooling which, according to some, should nicely offset any rise in temperature that rising carbon dioxide levels may cause. Not that I consider that a "cure," it will just give us some time to get our act together.So, what has this got to do with Persistent Organic Pollutants? When I think about the impact humanity has had upon the global environment, these (not...

Advantage of Alternative Energy
2008-02-16 06:23:00
The ongoing discussion about energy is one that can be polarizing. So, just what is the advantage of alternative energy over fossil fuels?While researching your options for your electricity needs, you will learn that an advantage of alternative energy is that once you purchased the equipment, you will no longer have a need to purchase electricity from a provider. This can be a life-changing event. With alternative energy, you can now supply your own home with all of the power necessary for your needs without the worry of power outages and other problems with providers.In fact, you could even tap into their network of power lines and sell the excess electricity that your home will not need back to the power plant. They have to buy it from you. An advantage of alternative energy is that it is clean, meaning it does not produce the harmful pollutants that burning fossil fuels do. This makes the power plant want to buy this electricity from you to help them reduce the amount of pollutan...
