The term Progressive originates from the "Progressive era" which started in the 1880s and lasted till the 1920s. The Progressive era was a period of political reform. The progressives sought political purity through the eradication of corruption and waste. They posed about bringing "Hope and Change" through the use of Science, technology and expertise in order to progress and evolve both man and society further into an ideal state regulated by big government. The Progressives believed that the Constitution of the United States was simply a legal document that needed to evolve with the current state of affairs and that freedom is government regulated not divine or "God given". Progressives made the...

The story by the Global Warming proponents is that Global Warming is caused by the burning of fossil fuels in our cars and electric generators. If this is so why has our temperature been lower for the past decade and we are told this will go on for another few years at least. Global Warming is a large and expensive joke being played on the American people by a few who expect to profit highly by pushing this agenda. Our US government is now preparing to spend trillions on a theory that has not been scientifically proven as of yet. It is very comical that global Warming is supposed to cause a lot more summer storms as well as hurricane and typhoon activity. I am still waiting on the so called experts...

In the public discussion of Global Warming, much is said about disappearing continental ice sheets and mountain glaciers, as well as growing deserts; with more droughts in some areas and more flooding in other areas. With new research indicating the acceleration of these processes, I would like to add a few thoughts on important aspects of increasing environmental heat that is not generally discussed with respect to this issue. I need to preface my remarks with a few necessary facts for the reader's understanding. The average temperature of the oceans throughout their depths is 4° Centigrade; the average temperature of ice in the continental ice sheets and glaciers is about minus-17°...

It seems that global warming has come out of nowhere. Actually sometimes I think that people actually need to be afraid of something and other people take advantage of that. A lot of people say that's what the left-wing is all about. I myself don't believe that we are causing global warming, for example I read a recent newspaper article on global warming and how the polar ice cap is melting so much that it's exposing trees that have been in the ice for millions a year. Now just think about that for a minute "it's exposing trees that have been locked in the ice for millions of years" this would tend to scare some people which personally I believe it is meant to do. When I hear the trees are being...

"body"> Is Global Warming real? Well Global Warming pre-assumes that mankind's actions are causing a heating of the atmosphere. Climate Change is simply stating that the Earth's atmosphere is warming. Either way there is evidence that things are changing around the world and so it is an issue, which must be addressed. The geological record of Earth and the evidence we have discovered from the surrounding Planets suggest many major changes have occurred and will occur on any planet. That includes the one we currently call home. We have noticed that it appears that Mars has gone thru severe climate changes over the last 100s of millions of years as well. If mankind is assisting these changes to occur...

Question 1: El Niño, la Nina and a normal year:a. Rainfall differences: According to Ropelewski and Halpert (1987) during El Niño periods there are low values of southern oscillation index and this means that regions receive more rain, during la Nina periods there are high values of southern oscillation index and this means that regions receive less rain. Storms: According to Maloney and Hartmann (2000) on Atlantic hurricanes in El Nino periods there are fewer hurricanes while during la Nina years there more hurricanes Ocean circulations: A low pressure region is developed in the Atlantic and high pressure region in Peru in a normal year and therefore trade winds flow strongly from the east to...

Many believe it is possible to build an anti-gravity machines and there are many small version which can do this by interfering with the gravity waves. Other say why build an anti-gravity wave machine when you can use the gravity to pull you the other way. Some say hogwash; conspiracy theories and UFOs and all the other stuff. They flat say it can never be done. If you see it done it is a trick, it is impossible they say. Well how about a gravity reflector; which takes the gravity waves and increases them on which ever side it needs to move towards? Collect the gravity waves and enhance them. Many talk about using pulse or gravity wave interference waves; gamma bursts or high-energy usage waves to...

1816 - The Year That Tambora (1815) Was Felt Around the World There are several reasons the "Year Without A Summer" occurred. We were having the "Dalton Minimum" - a period of low sun spot activity causing cold in general and there were four other volcanoes which preceded the Tambora one. To sum it up: The Tambora was the largest eruption in recorded history. It blew its top on April 10, 1815. While the April 10 eruption was catastrophic, historical records and geological analysis of eruption deposits indicate that the volcano had been active between 1812 and 1815. With all of the other effects of the multiple volcanic outbursts, enough ash was put into the atmosphere to cause global cooling. This...

Solving problems and innovation go together, and no one knows that more than Tom Dravis, the inventor of a concept to remove snow from the top of a truck trailer while it is still in the truck yard so when it goes down the road that snow won't come off the top and kill someone or cause an automobile accident or death. Specifically, this has occurred and there have been wicked accidents and deaths in the state of Ohio during the winter time. That's pretty unfortunate considering the truck speed in Ohio is only 55-mph and the enforcement for truck drivers is so intensive, many simple avoid the state all together as they haul freight coast to coast. Now, then when I talked with Tom Dravis, and he told...

Have you ever wondered how you can measure up your home's energy usage, so that you have an exact figure of it, which you can make something out of? There is a tool (usually on the internet) that allows you to determine roughly how much energy your home is using - the home energy yardstick. It gives you a measure of this energy amount, which is very useful for you to be able to take actions on. One example of a home energy yardstick online is: energystar.gov. You can fill in your details and provide any other information the website requires and within seconds, you will be given a measure of your home energy consumption. The home energy yardstick is important for anybody who is interested in saving...

The human population has risen from 5 million to 6.5 billion in slightly less than 10,000 years. During those 10,000 revolutions of the earth around the sun, wars upon wars have killed millions of people. There will always be diseases and pests to make life difficult but why do we put up with being unable to console differences among ourselves? The answer is because, for the most part, we are not aware that we are all on the same small planet with the same desire - to be happy. Can Wars and Diseases Reduce the Human Population? One of the greatest diseases to wreck havoc on humans was The Great Plague in Europe in 1665. The deaths caused by this Bubonic Plague outbreak or Black Death scourge totaled...

ybody sure about the cause of global warming? One thing is certain. The answer to THAT question is NO. A lot of people would say it is air pollution, and the newest president of the USA seems to think so. Can a new government save future generations from global catastrophe? A market for cleaner-burning fuels might help stop climate change and President Obama's administration could make this possible. So a number of environmental groups and lobbyist groups hope. One such special interest group is known as Ceros. This coalition of environmental organizations and investors wishes for Obama to curtail global warming. They figure he could pass legislation to reduce green house gas emissions by 25% below...

Ever wondered what effect your life has on the environment? Thought about what you can do to reduce global warming and carbon dioxide emissions? Stop worrying and start acting! Here are some helpful tips about practical steps you can take to live green. 1. Get several power strips to plug in all of your non-essential appliances - such as cell phone chargers, computers, blow dryers and other small appliances. Power off the strip when you are not using them. If 4 million Americans were to do this, the atmosphere would be 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide lighter this year. 2. Check your tire pressure regularly. Maintaining the recommended pressure for your vehicle can save you money by reducing tire...

United States households alone are responsible for 21% of the global warming pollution that occurs in the world. This is more than the entire global warming output of the United Kingdom. It is clear we are not doing a very good job at energy conservation. Yet energy-conscious families can reduce their emissions by two-thirds with some simple choices. 1. Turn Off Lights and Appliances The easiest way to start conserving energy is to turn off lights, appliances, computers, televisions, and gadgets, when not in use. We are spoiled. We have such abundance that we can waste it. Most of us have gotten out of the simple habit of switching off a light when we leave the room. Our grandmothers and always...

Did you know that other than generation of free electricity, a magnet power generator can also help slow down the global warming of our planet? Let me ask you a question, are you a flash flood victim, lost your house or lost some property due to typhoon? Can we prevent it from happening? Perhaps we can not do it right away but maybe later on. I honestly think that these recent landslides in many parts of the world are due to the global warming of our planet earth. But let us not forget that there are other reasons for these recent catastrophe. Deforestation and the clogging of drainages due to poor waste management are good examples.. Nevertheless, the major cause might be the hole in the ozone...

As the earth continues to experience change, sea levels will continue to rise. Global warming will continue to increase them over at least the coming century. Measurements from the period of 1993-2003 indicated a mean rate increase of 3.1 mm/year. (Bindoff, NL et al., "Observations: Oceanic Climate Change and Sea Level", Climate Change 2007) Centuries ago, the sea level was far lower compared to what it is today. The end of the last deep freeze resulted in continents joining together with exclusions that included Iceland, Australia and a few islands in the Pacific. After the ice meltdown, the coastlines were submerged and from about 6,000 years ago and onward, the sea levels remained constant. The...

Global warming is not a 20th century phenomenon. It has, in fact, occurred in the past more than once, along with periods of extreme cold known as the ice ages. With so much written and reported about global warming, sometimes it's difficult to detect which is fact and which is just part of scientific scare tactics. Here are some facts about global warming that might help: What exactly is global warming? Global warming is basically the increase in the temperatures of the Earth's atmosphere, land masses and oceans. The Earth's surface temperature is at an average of 59F and over the last hundred years, this figure has risen to about 1F. By the year 2100, the average change in the temperature of...

The International Scientific Congress on Climate Change was held in Copenhagen between 10th to 12th March and organised by the International Alliance of Research Universities (IARU): the conclusions will be published into a full synthesis report next June. Almost 1,600 scientific contributions of researchers from over 70 countries have been received, and more than 2,500 delegates attended the event. Connie Hedegaard, Minister of Climate & Energy of Denmark said that we have "to avoid the unmanageable and manage the unavoidable" and she pointed to their example: this European country has become a net energy exporter in 30 years, creating a green growth as a stable solution of the 70s oil crisis...

Global warming is getting a lot of press these days and the underlying message is we have a very urgent problem, and that action needs to be taken yesterday.  In the United States it seems the message has yet to effectively resonate.  While the western states are jumping ahead in regards to climate change it seems like a relative drop in the bucket when reviewing the larger issue. Global Warming is getting a lot of press these days and the underlying message is we have a very urgent problem, and that action needs to be taken yesterday.  In the United States it seems the message has yet to effectively resonate.  While the western states are jumping ahead in regards to...

Cats love warm places - just watch him curl up near your radiators and on you deep duvet. They go wherever they are most happy and comfortable (although you could be forgiven for thinking that they sometimes do some things through sheer bloody-mindedness). But, now your cat can help to save the planet. They can do this using the very characteristic I have just mentioned - their love of comfort. This is how it works. Put your cat in a room and leave him for half an hour. When you next look he will be near or on a warm appliance. It will be the one that generates enough heat to keep him comfortable (clearly, this should not be tried on a warm day otherwise the cat could overheat). That warm appliance...

Pescetarianism is a diet in which a person eats any combination of vegetables, fruit, nuts, beans and fish or seafood, but does not eat mammals or birds. Some pescetarians eat eggs and dairy products, while others do not. The most recent Merriam-Webster Inc.'s dictionary includes a new entry pescetarian, which they define as a "vegetarian whose diet includes fish." The word itself blends the Italian word "pesce" which means fish and the English word "vegetarian". Most vegetarians do not eat fish and will not consider pescetarians to be true vegetarians in spite of any dictionary or word origin. Some pescetarians see their diet as a sort of halfway house on the way to becoming a vegetarian or even...

Many people believe that global warming is caused solely by the human beings that are on the planet.  It may be surprising to know that global warming is also a naturally occurring event.  It can easily be argued that whatever global warming occurs naturally on the planet is a fraction of what humans are capable of contributing.  The human causes of global warming have been occurring for many years.  The various methods in which humans contribute to global warming include everything from driving cars to simply breathing.  Natural causes of global warming can be on a much larger scale that could be from sources outside of our planet.  Whether the cause is natural or human, global warming is a...

People's Bank in 2010 working session, China will continue a moderately easy monetary policy to maintain the continuity and stability of macroeconomic policy. According to the new situation and new situation, focus on improving the policy relevance and flexibility, particularly handle to maintain stable and rapid economic development, economic restructuring, and managing the relationship between inflation expectations. We have to see in 2010 will be 'tight credit, broad money' of the year. China Financial Co., Ltd. in a report that China's monetary expansion has been the domestic lending and foreign exchange inflows walking on two legs, domestic loans in 2009 to play a main role in this leg, but...

Before we start. If you are unsure what the Clean Development Mechanism is. Let me give you a very simple definition, while keeping the jargon to a minimum. The Clean Development Mechanism is an international method of trading and subsidy devised to give the developed nations a sustainable method by which large companies who are also big emitters of greenhouse gases can invest in the developing nations to get the maximum carbon emissions reduction for the money spent while also benefiting the economies of the poorer nations. The advantages of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) are: 1) Projects can be chosen in the developing world which have been described as "low hanging fruit". That is that for...

When I was 12, my friend Bobby and I decided to have an impromptu adventure. We spotted a long, black Rolls-Royce idling at the corner, peered passed the chauffeur into the rear seat, and recognized the legendary screen star, one of my mother's favorites, Greer Garson. Leaning toward her window I asked, "May we have a ride Miss Garson?" Probably stunned that members of our generation recognized her, she lowered the window and asked, "And where are you two boys going?' "Nowhere special; just around town, I replied." "Well, okay, get in!" she beamed, seizing the moment. She instructed her driver to stop at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, where the movie "Pretty Woman" was filmed. She wanted to pick up her...

I wanted to address this subject in light of all of the attention now being focused on the emission of carbon and noxious and dangerous gasses into the earth's atmosphere. The real gravity of the subject can only be understood if you understand the true foundation of your world and can somehow get beyond the myths, legends and parables about an angry God ready to punish and wreak havoc on all who disobey his almighty rules. The main reason that I bring this up is that it is harder for me to explain things to people who are deeply indoctrinated in religious dogma which greatly limits their ability to set aside old, worn out, simplistic children's tales of creation, death and destruction and have an...

A recent poll released by CNN has found that 54% of adults feel that global warming can either be stopped or slowed down by government intervention. 27% of adults recognize climate change is occurring but feel that the government can not do anything about it. And a slim 17% of individuals feel that global warming is not even occurring at all. Polls that are done on the issues like these are always suspect to wording. Any issue can be worded in such a way as to make a specific response far more favorable. That would be a bias based on the wording that can either be intentional or unintentional. Politicians love changing the wording around over and over to help them deliver their views in a way that...

Global warming is affecting human lives in a shocking number of ways. Increase in infectious diseases like malaria and dengue, conditions leading to serious malnutrition and diarrhea, heat waves and floods, are responsible for more than 150,000 deaths and 5 million diseases every year, and a study by the health and climate scientists at the WHO and the University of Wisconsin at Madison says that this number will be double by 2030. The data tells that global warming has different impacts in different regions. Ironically, the people of those poor countries, who are "least able to cope and least responsible for the greenhouse gases that cause global warming are most affected," said Jonathan Patz, a...
