Global Warming Rising Sea The real danger of global warming is not that there will be atypical freezes during some years. It’s that the polar and arctic areas are getting warming, which released more water, which affects global sea levels, which affects the amound of land which can sequester CO2 to ameliorate global warming. Once the cycle starts, the solution will be much more difficult. The majority of the 1-2mm/year increase in sea level is attributable to thermal expansion, rather than... more

Global Warming Happening! Is everyone enjoying being a prisoner of A/C this summer? How’s that electric bill to run the bugger? Meanwhile glaciers melt worldwide, some in Europe exposing to the light of day hidden bunkers from WW v.1.0 or dead soldiers of the same genre. And of course, a 5,000 year old body was exposed the same way in 1991, old news indeed. If you look at fossil fuel use history and CO2 level rise, you notice a pattern. The two reasonably well match. Even funnier is how... more

Global Warming It’s been something of a talking point in recent years amongst the polluters’ cartel spruikers that this was some sinister plot by proponents of the AGW-hypothesis to cover up flaws in the model. This was and is nonsense of course, because describing what is happeneing to the world’s climate as “climate change” is a good deal more accurate. Nobody has suggested that AGW means everywhere will warm at the same rate or even all warm at the same time. It is... more

Global Warming The mainstream scientific consensus on global warming is becoming clearer every day: changes in our climate are real and they are underway. Now. But we can do something about it. The evidence that human-induced global warming is real is increasingly clear and compelling. a. Since the late 19th century, the mean surface temperature of the earth has increased by about 1º F (0.3-0.6°Celsius). b. Over the last 40 years, which is the period with most reliable data, the temperature increased... more

While the phenomenon of global warming is an empty worry, fundamentally unverifiable and unfalsifiable in a strict scientific sense, it is one that has been empowered with a greater meaning by those who have the motive to do so. Accordingly, and perhaps unsurprisingly, since the early 1990s its intrinsic linguistic emptiness has been filled by a mighty myth, especially in Europe. This myth asserts that current global warming is both faster and worse than at any previous time, that it is not natural,... more

Most of us feel guilty if we do not take the trouble to wash and sort all those reusable plastics, papers and tins. We do this to avoid throwing them in the bin which then ends up in the landfill sites around the country. But how useful is recycling and can it really solve the “waste crisis”? UK households generate a staggering thirty million tonnes of rubbish a year, of which sixty per cent comes from packaging. There has been a lot of publicity recently about waste that has been put... more

In recent times it has been accepted by scientists that climate change and man made emissions are causing climate changes throughout the world. The ten most warmest years recorded globally since records began have occurred from 1994 onwards with considerable carbon dioxide concentrations increasing considerably. Carbon dioxide from the business sector is responsible for 40% of the UK’s total carbon dioxide emissions. If we do not take immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions the... more

The workshop is a great place for reusing items formally destined for the landfill. Even if you do not have a shop or craft area you can always donate the items mentioned in the following paragraphs to friends, schools, shops, youth centers… The concept of reusing is as limitless as your imagination. Screws, bolts, picture hooks, plant hangers, curtain hooks, and hinges are common hardware items used in most homes. Although not overly costly when purchased a few pieces at a time, they can add... more

Perhaps you are happy with the status quo of today. Perhaps you feel all is fine and you don’t feel the need to change a system that’s worked for over a century. If you do, consider a few of these benefits to solar power and you may just recognize its potential in a somewhat more responsible, yet selfish, light. I don’t care about the environment? Perhaps everything in the world is fine with your life. The last thing you care about are trees, fresh air and clean water. Heck, the... more

Each spring, as Americans head for the great outdoors, millions of volunteers rally for the nation’s largest annual community improvement program. It’s a great way to enjoy some fresh air, spend quality time with the family, meet new friends and make a difference in your community’s environment. Over 15,000 communities across the nation are rallying to clean up, green up and fix up their neighborhoods. Their combined efforts preserve America’s natural beauty for all to enjoy. Keeping... more
