Chinese Dust Storms Will Cause Global Cooling and Ice Age
2008-05-07 13:38:00
If the Chinese dust storms continue they may cause more global changes in our climate. In fact they could cause global cooling in that part of the world and change the weather patterns around the globe. This could mean we could eventually get global cooling and it will be the fault of China for being unable to control their dust storms.China needs to control their dust storms to prevent climate change and global cooling which will freeze the earth and end up killing off billions of humans due to lack of food.Many people are worried about global warming and that it is heating our planet in a major climate change cycle.But global warming can cause global cooling and a quick change could cause the pendulum to swing too far and many people will freeze to death. Over the last 50 years some climatologists say that climate changes have increased two degrees Fahrenheit, which many say is insignificant, but if that increases to double or triple then it could be a very big deal.Chinese dust s...

Gas Prices - The Real Story
2008-05-06 13:28:00
How much is enough? How much profit from the sales of gasoline to the consumer is enough? The unparalleled profits of the major oil companies is at a staggering amount. The Oil companies have found the means to close the market so there is no price competition for gasoline, diesel or heating oil. The only logical answer? There seems to be collusion, and possibly a violation of the Sherman anti-trust act.On March 5, 2008 MSNBC reported that "the 12-nation Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries said it would maintain current production levels because crude supplies are plentiful and demand is expected to weaken in the second quarter."Recently, in our local newspaper (March 9, 2008) it was reported that OPEC President Chakib Kehelil is quoted as saying "the global market is well supplied, with current commercial oil stocks standing above their 5 year average." The article continued to say that "Today's prices do not reflect market fundamentals." If the prices are high, definite...

Climate Change Could Affect Burgundy Wine
2008-05-05 15:22:00
The affects of climate change is causing concern across the world and it seems that France is no exception.Last week, scientific experts gathered at the University of Burgundy in Dijon to discuss the effect that global warming could have on France's wine growing regions.One claimed that the changes would be so pronounced that by the end of the century it would be possible to grow Syrah grapes as far north as Champagne.Yet concerns have been raised that many parts of France, including the famous Burgundy region, could get too hot to grow grapes for wine.Burgundy celebrates its love of wine But it looks like for this year at least, the French wine industry is as booming as ever with Burgundy locals looking forward to a number of wine related events for 2007.Two that are set to prove particularly popular with both visitors and locals alike are the traditional Beaujolais Nouveau celebrations held in November and the Chablis Wine Festival which takes place in the same month.The former i...

The Stackable Recycling Bins
2008-05-04 20:08:00
You have made the decision to do your part for the environment and you are going to recycle. Maybe you have a pick-up service or you are willing to drive to each recycling location in order to drop off your recyclables. Because it is required for every thing to be separated, you will need to decide on the number of bins you need. Many areas have recycling for newspapers, cans, plastic, and glass. Depending on your area they may only provide a pick-up service for two or three, maybe all four.Now that you know the number of bins you will need, you will need to consider a good location for those bins. You may want to put them close to your trash bin. This will save you time and steps, and make it easier for you to put things in the recycle bin rather than your trash can. It you live in an apartment or a small house, you may have trouble finding the room to place three separate bins close to your garbage can. There are several different solutions to this problem. You can find the stacka...

Global Warming Is Expected To Increase The Intensity Of Hurricanes & Tornad
2008-05-03 17:02:00
Global warming is expected to increase the intensity of forces of nature, such as tornadoes and hurricanes. It is determined not by individual weather events, such as heat waves or cold snaps or hurricanes, but by the global mean surface temperature. It is already increasing the intensity of hurricanes in the North Atlantic, increasing the risk of devastating impacts when a storm hits.Global warming is also leading to more dramatic swings in the weather in some areas. It is already affecting the world we know, endangering polar bears, shortening ski seasons and creating more intense storms. Global warming is a huge risk, it is an increase in the average temperature of the earth's surface.Global warming is bad news for human life, including changes in agricultural yields, melting of glaciers and the extinction of certain species for ever.Global warming is an increase of average world temperatures as a result of what is known as the greenhouse effect.

What Is The Outlook For The Availability Of Fossil Fuels?
2008-05-02 16:21:00
I think this article is comparable to the people who slow down on the highway to look at an automobile accident. You are not involved in the accident, yet you surely are curious about what is happening. At the present time we can sense the presence of a disaster, but we do not have enough information to feel that we can get involved. My push to adopt renewable energies is based on our continued polluting of the environment with the burning of fossil fuels. We know that we must slow down this pollution so that our quality of life will not be severely degraded. There is another piece of information needed to prod us into action, and that is how long do we have before we run out of fossil fuels? As a current member of the earth, I am concerned that we leave future generation's sufficient energy to bridge the gap from fossil to renewable fuels. This, to me, is looking at the car wreck. How long do we have until we are the ones involved in the wreck?The majority of Americans now think t...

Erosion or Rainwater Pollution - Which Comes First?
2008-05-01 15:37:00
Over the past century, runaway development has paved over forests, fields and wetlands across the country. Along with urbanization has come the problem of "urban stormwater" - rainwater that washes over dirty surfaces such as roads, buildings and lawns and becomes a major source of pollution in rivers, lakes and bays. While much has been achieved in the past 30 years to limit pollution from easily identifiable sources, such as watersheds, efforts to control pollution from these diffuse sources are still in their infancy. Although the Clean Water Act mandates stormwater control, local governments have been slow to respond.This report, however, focuses on runoff pollution from developed areas, which occurs when stormwater carries away a wide variety of contaminants as it runs across rooftops, roads, parking lots, baseball diamonds, construction sites, golf courses , lawns, and other surfaces in our cities and suburbs. The oily sheen on rainwater in roadside gutters is but one common e...

Emergency Managers Deal With Global Warming
2008-04-30 15:29:00
For Seattle residents, rain - and lots of it - is a fact of life. But they'd never seen a month quite like November 2006. With 15.59 inches of rain - including snowfall and hail - it set the record for wettest month, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Climatic Data Center. It was the most rain the Emerald City had ever seen in a one-month span, in 115 years of record keeping.If that weren't enough, mid-December brought supercharged winds of 60 to 90 mph that cut power to about 1 million people, some of whom lived in the dark for prolonged periods."It wasn't just for a couple of hours, a couple of days," said Eric Holdeman, former director of the King County, Wash., Office of Emergency Management. "There were folks without power for 10 days in isolated areas, or even longer than that."That same month, drought plagued parts of Minnesota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Texas and Oklahoma; thunderstorms and tornadoes whipped through the South; a cycl...

Hybrid Vehicles - Good For Your Wallet, The Environment & The American Econ
2008-04-29 15:21:00
You may be surprised to find out that the United States consumes a quarter of the world's oil supply but only carries three percent of the world's oil reserves on its own territory. As a result, America is forced to import over 60% of the oil our country needs, relying more and more on foreign countries, particularly in the Middle East, to support our oil dependency.Many experts are under the impression that the introduction and popularity of hybrid vehicles in the US will lessen our dependency on overseas oil. Powered jointly by gasoline and electric engines, hybrids use much less gasoline than conventional vehicles and therefore use less oil. Over 11 million barrels of oil are imported into the US each day and although most of it is contributed to industry, the running of vehicles still uses quite a bit of oil and hybrids provide a way to limit that amount.Because the market reacted so well towards the introduction of hybrid vehicles, it is predicted that more American s will buy...

Ethanol Basics
2008-04-28 15:57:00
The use of ethanol as an alternative fuel is becoming increasingly popular by ever conscious consumers wishing to do their little bit for the planet. It may even be a better alternative to bio fuel, it seems that it is a lot more pleasant to make at any rate.What is Ethanol ? Ethanol is a grain alcohol, or plant mass formula derived from the natural sugars found in bio mass, or vegetation such as corn, wheat, barley, potatoes and sugar cane. This is then processed to make a renewable form of fuel or fuel additive, which is both cost effective and good for the planet. Many cars are able to run on Ethanol and gasoline mixtures. Although at the moment, the mixtures are only a ratio of 10% Ethanol, to 90% fossil fuel.Benefits of EthanolThere are many benefits of using an alternative fuel such as Ethanol, for starters it is a renewable resource, fossil fuels used to make gasoline is not renewable, so one day they will run out, it is because of this that people, have become more aware of a...

Solar Power Systems From Leading Companies
2008-04-27 19:32:00
There are hundreds of different companies that are able to supply solar power equipment. These companies have increased in popularity due to people wanting to protect the environment. By using solar power you can protect the environment by not having to burn fossil fuels. The amount of fuel that we have available is limited and they are quickly running out, by using solar power you are conserving the natural resources.The most important part of any solar power system is the solar panels themselves. Huge companies such as Big Frog Mountain, Solar Cell Sales and Mr Solar produce a fairly basic kit which contains a solar panel, batteries and everything else you would need. You will not need any other specialized equipment like an air compressor. There are a few very large companies such as Kyocera Solar Power , these are made possible by the popularity and demand for such systems.You will also need to purchase inverters and batteries from one of these solar power companies. One company ...

Water Quality And Pollution - The Raison D'etre For Wastewater Treatment
2008-04-26 17:20:00
Water as a chemical:Pure water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen. It is colorless, odorless and tasteless. It exists as liquid at ambient temperature.Water - what it contains:Water has both living and non-living organisms and substances in it. The living organisms can be further subdivided into macro- and micro- organisms. Macro organisms, which are biological, are those that are visible to the naked eye or can be seen through a microscope.In contrast, microbiological micro-organisms are not visible even through a microscope.Water quality criteria:The quality of water is a function of several factors. These include its source, location, geological conditions, depth of water level, seasonal changes, domestic activity, agricultural activity, industrial activity, etc.Excessive exploitation of natural resources and the use of technological advances with no concern for the ecology adversely affect air, water and land, alike.The substances present in water can be classified as floating...

The Pros and Cons of Using Renewable Energy
2008-04-25 15:06:00
When people think or energy sources, they mostly think of coal, natural gas and oil, these fuels have been the source of energy for a number of years. One problem however is that they are limited in supply and availability.Estimates have shown that the currently available sources will only meet our current energy demands for about 50 to 70 years or so. In order to find alternative sources of energy the world has decided to pursue renewable energy sources. However even renewable energy sources have their advantages and disadvantages too.The available renewable energy sources that we have include solar, hydro, wind, geothermal, ocean and biomass. The most common of these advantages is that they are clean energy sources and do not pollute the air. They also do not contribute to global warming or greenhouse effects. Because the sources of such energy are natural the cost of operations are substantially reduced and they require less maintenance on their plants. One common disadvantage is...

CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lights) And Environmental Issues
2008-04-24 15:54:00
CFL (Compact fluorescent lights) bulbs are seen as an environmentally friendly replacement for incandescent lights. But are they really as good for the environment as claimed? The two issues often raised as arguments against using CFL's are1 - It requires more energy to manufacture a CFL than an incandescent lamp.2 - CFL's contain mercury which can potentially end up polluting the environment.The first issue is fairly easily answered in that even though they do require additional energy to manufacture; this is soon offset as CFLs last a lot longer than incandescent bulb.On this issue of mercury pollution I have summarized some of the for and against points of view below:Arguments For CFL'sOverall mercury emission by compact fluorescent lamps is less than the mercury released into the atmosphere by coal-fired power generation for an equivalent incandescent lamp over the same period. This assumption is based on the electricity generated to run lighting in your local area being gene...

Climate Change - Climate Changes Due To Global Warming
2008-04-23 15:19:00
Earth's climate has always been in a state of constant change. It is part of a normal cycle of planetary events. Yet, most scientists agree that drastic changes are occurring which are due to unnatural global warming.The climate of the United States has already become warmer. In some locations, the average rise in temperature is four degrees Fahrenheit. Every single state shows some degree of warming.The first and second warmest years on record were 1998 and 2006, respectively. The years 1999 through 2005 ranked within the warmest 25 years in US history. In 2006, the annual average temperature was 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Recent warm years point to a climate change being brought on by global warming.Global warming has increased the level of drought. This is caused by the heat that is building up around the earth's surface. Excessive evaporation intensifies drought during the spring and fall. A major drought in the US lasted from 1999-2002. There were only two other droughts in the l...

Biofuels - Achilles Heel of Global Warming
2008-04-22 18:47:00
As the myth around global warming begins to unravel and Operation Desperation sets in, it's important for the public to know why biofuels aren't the answer to solving global warming. For those that don't know, biofuels are alternative energy sources derived from living matter, as opposed to fossil fuels, such as oil, which are derived from nonliving matter. The most common biofuel is a blend of gasoline called E85, which means it's 15% gasoline and 85% ethanol. However, the gasoline and ethanol content changes depending on the season. During cold weather, more gasoline needs to be added to the mixture to ensure the fuel works properly, so E85 is at least 70% ethanol.If biofuels are going to reduce our dependency on foreign oil, what's the big deal? Ethanol, without consideration of other factors, could cut our dependency on foreign oil. However, ethanol as a fuel still requires gasoline to function properly. As stated in the previous paragraph, cold weather is especially trying...

Bush's Latest Proposal on Climate Change
2008-04-21 21:43:00
There is a clear consensus in the scientific community that global climate change or global warming is caused primarily by human activity. This conclusion has been endorsed by no less than 30 scientific societies and academies of science. This includes every single national academy of science of all the major industrialized countries. With such a strong consensus, why do we find the president Bush giving environmental double-talk and thwarting any reasonable environmental legislation?Real Cause for ConcernIs global warming a real danger? Yes - a catastrophic one. According to Don Fitz of Zmag Ecology states "in order to avoid catastrophic effects ... greenhouse gas emissions (mostly CO2) must be cut by 60-80% by 2050 (though the figure may need to be a 95% cut in the US)." What are these so called catastrophic effects? According to Wikipedia, "the predicted effects of global warming on the environment and for human life are numerous and varied."

The Christian and Global Warming
2008-04-20 19:27:00
Let me say the political piece first: Yes, things may be heating up on the planet, though not all of the evidence points that way.No, we can't prove how or why they're heating up, if indeed they are.Yes, there has always been alternate warming and cooling of Earth. In the 70's the same political machine was predicting an ice age, and was all upset with folks who did not get on THAT bandwagon.So where does that leave us? In the Book of Revelation, where else? Revelation 16:8ffIn that passage, judgments are being poured out on the earth, though not the final judgment that will occur when Jesus returns with His own, snatched up from the winds of Heaven. These are the infamous "bowl" judgments, a series of natural disasters that will leave the planet reeling.The fourth "bowl" involves the sun. The sun becomes so hot that men are literally "scorched with fire." This may be where the sun turns to darkness, as in a nova. First a great explosion that causes the heat, then darkness and bi...

Eco House 1, Heat In And Heat Out
2008-04-19 15:40:00
In my previous article 'Help Save The Environment and Save Yourself Money!' I introduced the idea that we can all effectively contribute to helping reduce CO2 emissions while also saving money. The home is the area in which we have the greatest opportunity to save energy and the key to understanding how to do it is understanding energy in and energy out.The first thing we have to understand about balancing heat in and heat out in a house is that our strategy will get reversed depending on whether it is winter or summer.In the winter, heat escapes (flows out) through the walls, windows and roof and we have to put more heat into the house in the form of heaters to keep ourselves warm.In the summer, heat leaks in through the walls, windows and roof and we have to remove heat from the house using air conditioning systems to keep ourselves cool.The common factor for both reducing heat escaping in the winter and heat leaking in the summer is the use of insulation. Modern houses are buil...

Geoengineering as a Solution to Global Warming
2008-04-18 15:51:00
Pollution due to carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases which contribute hugely to global warming remains untamed, as international response to calls like the Kyoto Protocol entreating industrialized countries like the US to limit their CO2 emissions remain "grossly disappointing", as Nobel Prize winner Paul Crutzen wrote in an article in 2006 in the journal Climatic Change. Experts estimate that global warming may increase surface temperatures by as much as 6.4 ºC (11.5 ºF) if CO2 levels continue to rise as it does now. This rise in temperature may give rise to any number of situations in the future, all of which will probably have a bad effect on humans and other life forms: greater incidence of Katrina-like storms and extreme weather, extinction of plant and animal species unable to tolerate the heat, rising sea levels that can drown coastal cities, and others. So, to counter the disastrous effects of global warming, scientists like Crutzen propose very drastic solutions.So wh...

Energy Conservation - Simple Tips that Will Reduce Your Energy Bill
2008-04-17 15:33:00
There are many good reasons to conserve energy. If we use less gas, oil and electricity we will save money, and the pollution associated with extracting and using fossil fuels will decrease. Reducing greenhouse gas production may help to reverse global warming. In a nutshell - conservation of energy has both personal and societal benefits.Most people are concerned with making their money last longer and energy conservation can help by reducing our energy costs. Homeowners can do many things to cut down on their energy needs. Perhaps the best thing they can do to is to install better insulation to retain warm and cool air.Heating and air conditioning are the biggest energy consumers of the average household. Much of the heat and cool air escapes because of poorly insulated roofs, walls, doors, and windows. In fact in a lot of cases heating and cooling is responsible for around 50% of your energy costs. Improving insulation will result in greater conservation of energy and lesser ener...

Global Warming - Can We Resist To Its "Negative Repercussions"
2008-04-16 16:40:00
In the field of environment protection, it is a long time now since the situation is getting worse and worse; the warnings of all these last years have not prevented "predators" to continue their work to undermine the major ecological balance.The ordinary mortals we are ignore no more the imminence of this consequently danger seriousness but unfortunately the important decision-makers across the world really do.The greenhouse effect is essential for our survival; without it, Earth would be a much colder place, incapable of sustaining life as we know it. However, if the quantity of heat retained increases over time due to an overabundance of greenhouse gases, the atmosphere and even the oceans may begin to warm on a global scale.Heating of the air and oceans would cause glaciers and polar ice melting and raising sea levels worldwide. In fact, we are witnessing the occurrence of such events now.The picture is even more chaotic that there is a clear interaction between the various comp...

Air Simply Too Dirty to Breathe
2008-04-15 15:41:00
According to a formal statement made on Wednesday by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) literally hundreds of US counties have air considered too dirty to breathe. In fact, breathing smoggy air can be hazardous because smog contains ozone, a pollutant that can harm your health.The EPA announced new reduced tolerances on the acceptable amounts of ozone which is allowed in the air and still be considered safe to breathe. The original standard of allowable concentration of ozone, set a decade ago, allowed for no more then 80 parts per billion - the new standard is 75 parts per billion.While EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson calls the new limits "the most stringent standards ever" and 49% of counties monitored will now be forced to make air quality improvements. This new standard is not in-line with the opinion of many health experts.What is Ozone?Ozone is a colorless gas composed of three atoms of oxygen. At or near ground level ozone is formed by pollutants emitte...

Climate Change - Health Concerns Related to Global Warming
2008-04-14 21:05:00
Global warming affects the environment as well as the health of the people living in that environment. Climatic changes impact human habitats as much as animal habitats. Human health is very sensitive to these changes.Global warming has caused rising temperatures in the environment. Devastating heat waves have recently occurred in areas of the world unaccustomed to extreme heat. Heat waves in Europe in 2003 lasted as long as two weeks, and temperatures soared as high as 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Although temperatures like this are common in parts of the American Southwest, European summers are usually much cooler. Over 35,000 people died there as a result of the heat waves that year. They were ill-equipped to deal with their changing habitat.There have also been heat waves in North America. One in 2006 claimed 226 lives. Another result of global warming is an increase in pollen in the air. Higher levels of carbon dioxide encourage the growth of more pollen-producing weeds. Those with ...

Global Warming - The Significance of Rising Water Temperatures And Climate
2008-04-13 21:17:00
An alarm is being raised about global warming causing dramatic rises in the temperature of ocean waters. Scientists are studying warming waters all over the globe to determine the extent of this rise in temperatures.The consequences of global warming are far-reaching. One of the most devastating effects of global warming is an impact on tropical storms. Hurricanes that would have been category 3 storms in years past are now category 4 or above because they are energized when they pick up warmer-than-normal ocean water. There has been a significant increase in these higher intensity storms over the last 35 years. In 2005, the Atlantic was bombarded with 27 tropical storms powerful enough to receive a name, and fifteen of them developed into hurricanes. Five of these storms were classified as category 4 hurricanes and four reached the level of category 5. Hurricane Katrina made a terrible mark on history in August of 2005. It became the costliest hurricane in American history and also...

Can the USA Be Fossil Fuel Independent by 2050?
2008-04-12 17:09:00
This question is becoming a key cornerstone in our prediction for the health and prosperity of the future United States of America. Experts are beginning to predict that our worldwide sources for crude oil will have peaked in production by 2050 at the latest and the production quality will then be declining. If we stay dependent on this declining resource we will forever be held hostage to the Middle East oil producing countries.Today, each man, woman and child in the USA (300,000,000 citizens) on the average sends $40.00 per day or a total of $500,000,000,000.00 per year (oil priced at $100.00 per barrel) to the oil producing countries in order to maintain our addiction to fossil fuels. There are no indications that the price for crude oil will be declining significantly. We will have market fluctuations but the overall trend is a continuing increase in the price of a barrel of crude oil. We, in the US, need to retain these dollars on our shores and break the hostage chains of crud...

What is the Cause of Water Pollution?
2008-04-11 16:05:00
Water pollution refers to the changes in the physical, biological, and chemical conditions of any body of water which harmfully disrupts the balance of the ecosystem.Like any type of pollution, water pollution results when an overwhelming amount of waste coming from different sources of pollutants can no longer be accommodated by the natural ecosystem. Consequently, when the wastes are not destroyed as fast as they are produced, they make it unfavorable to humans and many other organisms. But that's not all. Learn more about what causes water pollution.There are actually many specific reasons behind what causes water pollution. However, it is important to familiarize yourself with the two main categories of water pollution. Some pollution comes directly from one?s specific location. This type of pollution is called point source pollution such as sewage pipes that empty polluted water into the river and farmland. Meanwhile, non-point source pollution is pollution that comes from lar...

One Pollution Policy Outdone

When you receive the Seal you will see global warming as the sign of the coming End-times. You will be interested to see how the emissions in China are growing so much they are far outpacing all the reductions of the countries who signed the Kyoto Protocol.Researchers at the University of California have used figures from the Chinese government to conclude that by 2010, Chinese emissions of carbon dioxide will be 600 million metric tonnes more than in the year 2000.But the researchers believe the true figures could be as much as twice the amount the Chinese government has claimed. The US government estimates the countries that signed the Kyoto Protocol will reduce emissions by just under 116 million metric tonnes.That means worldwide reductions right now (it is March 2008) and in the coming days are going to be only 10 or 20 percent of emissions growth in China alone. China builds a new coal-fired power plant about once a week.Coal is the dirtiest fuel burned to provide energy but i...

A large number of plastic containers and bags are used on a daily basis. Plastic waste is one of the biggest causes for increased water and soil pollution. Plastic recycling offers one of the best solutions to the increased plastic waste in the environment. Plastic recycling is the process of breaking down used scrap and waste plastics to recover usable material for the manufacturing industry. Plastic comprises of a large number of resins and complex chemical structures that are melted down to create new fibers.Plastic recycling is a complex procedure. Plastic recycling industries can face a large number of unique challenges. One of the key principles to be followed while recycling plastic is that different types of plastics cannot be mixed before recycling. Plastics of different polymer structures and resin composition are identified by using standard codes on the basis of their melting and crushing capacity. Plastic materials identified under a particular code can be mixed and rec...

Use the Power of Sun and Wind with a Wind Turbine
2008-04-08 15:28:00
Solar energy is energy derived from the sun. Solar energy, as well as well as other natural resources such as wind and wave power, is a readily available and renewable form of energy. This natural energy has been harvested in various ways for centuries, though only recently has technology allowed modern conveniences such as heating, lighting, electricity and flight to be solar-based. A wind turbine is a hybrid solar-wind generator that can provide power for a variety of industrial and arisolarwindicultural needs.The best available systems are quiet, durable, and have fast moving turbine blades for efficient performance. A wind-solar turbine also has a CPU-controlled generator, which provides protection against over-speed. The technology of some of these systems is comparable to that of electric cars. These systems have auto-regulating charge controls up 48 volts and wattages up to 3.5 kilowatts.Users of wind-solar turbine systems have stated that products work even at temperatures a...
