Global warming is real and underway

Global Warming Questions

A lot of information about global warming gets slung around from both sides of the issue. Some argue against climate models while others see the merit in climate models. Just so that we are all on the same page I would like to propose the following simple questions to those amongst who have an educated [...]

SPS and Global Warming

Although it is true that most of the energy beamed to earth from an SPS will be radiated into the environment as heat, it does not at all follow that this will result in more or even significant global warming than fossil fuel. First of all, much of the energy in generating stations is expended [...]

Energy Get From Wind

The amount of energy available from wind is limited by the sites suitable for major wind installations. Think of this as being like hydroelectric power. Hydro plants can only be usefully located where there’s a significant water flow across a significant drop. Generally, a dam has to be built to create such a situation; Niagara [...]

CFC Gas and Global Warming

The global warming is due to increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere due to (among other things) increased burning of fossil fuels and the depletion of the plant life (rainforests and phytoplankton) that convert that carbon dioxide back into free oxygen and plant material. So what do CFC gasses have to do with global warming? [...]

Global Warming Issue

For decades the prevailing assumption has been that a fossil-fuel-based economy would be constrained by oil, gas and coal depletion. Logical enough. But global warming has turned that paradigm on its head: It now appears that the atmosphere’s ability to assimilate fossil-fuel wastes will be the limiting factor. The question is no longer how much [...]

Global Warming Coastal Flooding

A friend recently told me of an interesting study done by two geologists. The study was an explanation of why none of the predicted sea coast flooding has occured yet.  This flooding is predicated by those who forsee global warming due to the CO2 and halogen-organics that have been added to the atmosphere since the [...]

Nothing has been quite so exciting in the generator manufacturing business as the new Honda inverter generators. Honda inverter generators give you all of the power that you need in a generator, with maximum fuel efficiency, light weight, and surprisingly quiet performance. Add to this Honda’s reputation for excellent quality, and these new generators are great news. Regular gas generators are fine for running certain electrical appliances, such as lights and televisions. However, for... more

Bisphenol A is a threat to your health. It’s all around you – and probably in you. And BPA is most likely the cause of early puberty in young girls, plus birth defects in newborns. Birth defects caused by exposing an unborn child to toxic chemicals was rarely discussed by doctors and hospitals before fetal alcohol syndrome was first identified. Many women employed in industry do not know all dangers associated with chemicals used at work because of the reluctance of manufacturers to... more

Earth the great giver. What can we learn from the Earth? The world celebrates earth day in different ways. In the United States of America, it is observed on the 22nd April, while the international earth day is celebrated on the day of Vernal Equinox . The day is observed to make all of us aware of our responsibilities towards our mother earth. The way we have been taking all that we can from the earth will one day finish all the coal and hydrocarbon from the earth. Same with all the minerals. We... more

A solar panel is basically a device that enables the collection of and conversion of solar energy into electrical energy or even heat. The Concept of Solar Panels Solar panels are also known as photovoltaic panels and the atoms that are present in these panels are excited by the action of the sun’s energy. These atoms are present in a silicon layer that lies between two panels known as protector panels. A formation of electric current takes place as a result of the action of the electrons... more

‘Man must treat the beasts of this land as his brothers. What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, Man would die from a great loneliness of spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, also happens to the man. All things are connected.’ Chief Seattle Speech of 1854 Most people are now aware that we have some serious environmental issues facing us in the next few decades. The recent tsunami in Indonesia was a tragic reminder of the fragile balance of nature. There is... more

A home that is green is a home built and run with the environment in mind. With the threat of global warming becoming more urgent everyday, the average family needs to do their part to make as little impact as possible. Going green is a way to do this and the first place to start is with your home. You can find a lot of home supplies from bathtubs to faucets at fuzing.com. Whether you are constructing your toilet or your kitchen, it will help you in the long run if you build it from an environment... more

Have you ever wondered what is floating through the air in your home? Just because you can’t see something doesn’t mea n it isn’t there. Millions of particles, pollutants, gases, bacteria, and allergens are roaming your house with no way to get out making the air inside your home up to 100 times dirtier than outside air. Sure, opening a window to let in fresh air may get that stale smell out, but it is only an open door to invite more particles inside your home. This contaminated... more

In the ongoing energy debate, biomass energy is getting a lot of play among politicians. To understand the concept, it first helps to understand the bio pyramid. Bio Pyramid All of the organisms in the world follow orders of classification. Whether you choose to put them into groups of plants and animals, herbivores and carnivores, or any other of the many different types of classification systems, organisms can be put into many groups in order to understand their relationship to one another. One... more

Many a person, myself included, has gone on and on about the benefits of solar energy. While theoretical arguments are always interesting, what about daily applications? Uses for Solar In Every Day Life Solar energy is an important advance in the effort to save the environment. Perhaps the most easily usable and most convenient of the renewable energy sources (which also include wind and water), solar energy has been used since the beginning of time as a heating source. In the 1830′s one... more

Help Stop Global Warming

Global warming could do more than just melt polar ice. It could change our maps, and displace people from cities and tropical islands.
