Spontaneous Cooperation - Decades in the Making
After WWI, President Woodrow Wilson said, "the highest and best form of efficiency is the spontaneous cooperation of a free people." Where is the evidence of spontaneous cooperation in our world today? Historically, it seems that the cause of war -- Pearl Harbor, Iraq's invasion of Kuwait and September 11th -- will catalyze a society and nations to cooperate. Must we have our backs to the wall, or is it possible for a compelling vision to create spontaneous cooperation? The Critical Question In 1969, Dr. R Buckminster Fuller (most well known for geodesic domes and Buckyballs) developed a World Game simulation to explore global resources and trends. It posed the critical question, "how do we make the...
A new science for a new climate
> At first glance it’s hard to imagine how the proliferation of human activity upon the environment has been a major factor in climate change given that climate change alone is nothing new. Over two million years the earth’s history has seen enormous changes. Indeed, in the last ten thousand years the warming and cooling of the earth has been on a larger scale that what we see today. The climate is however very changeable these days. Getting the politics right has been half the fight. Unfortunately, the right policy has been held at bay partially by having the right knowledge of what’s happening to the climate. The climate changes we see today are the result of only a century and a...
The Moral Case Against Global Warming Policies
How odd that someone would make a moral case against global warming. The trend is to promote it as a just cause. Global warming is presented as a problem that we should be doing all we can to fix or life as we know it will be no more. The so called "science" that supporters of global warming use to justify their position is anything but settled. New evidence is constantly being discovered that puts bigger and bigger holes in global warming theories--not laws, theories. The most ridiculous of these theories being that global warming--if it is indeed happening--is caused by human beings. The objective here is not to go over the science that casts an overwhelming shadow of doubt on the accuracy of...
Global Warming Hoax - Baby Boomers Have Seen it Too Many Times
I have never believed in global warming. I'm not smart enough to know the science, I just don't think God needs our help. To me, it's a money grab by unethical people (some scientists and some politicians). Now, that global warming crowd has stepped in a steaming pile of you know what. The truth eventually comes out on all of these schemes and now we see what was behind the big screen... a pack of lies. Evidence now shows that testing results that ruined the global warming theories have been hidden from the public (gee, what a surprise!). How arrogant these people are. Actually, these types of hoaxes have been going on for years in one form or another. When I was in college, Paul Ehrlich wrote "The...
The Green Revolution - Why We Need It!
For the past number of years, the hue and cry raised by environmentalists over the issues of global warming, depletion of forest covers and various other hazards to the nature has finally begun to be taken seriously by world leaders. Sadly though, the attention paid to these grave issues has come a bit too late as much damage has already been caused. But mercifully, it is still not too late to take concrete steps to prevent any further major damages to the environment. The kind of awareness about the environmental issues that has been seen to spread in the society over the past few years has really helped forward the cause of environment safety. People have finally begun to realize that any damage...
Global Warming Propaganda Theory Defeated by Wiser and More Prudent Weather Watchers
Did you know a recent survey showed that when American people were asked what they thought was the most pressing issue of our time, and you know what their answer was? It wasn't Global Warming; it was the economy, that's what 60% of the respondents said. Only 7% of the people said global warming was the biggest issue or one that they even cared about. That should be telling us that the climate change warming propaganda purported by the mainstream media has failed. In fact, it is failed worse than the threat of terrorism, or Y2K. Do you know why? Because people with common sense have been watching the weather and have noted that temperatures have actually cooler, and the reports of scientists, which...
Global Warming's Fever
"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...
Is the US Being Governed by Ouzelum Birds?
Frankly, I'm getting tired of having to write about the global climate situation from the perspective of economic expediency. It feels like I'm beating a dying - if not dead - horse. I can imagine those who agree with me responding with, "Yeah, we know that, how about moving on?" while those who disagree will read the first few sentences (if they can get beyond the title) and then moving along to other things in silent - or not-so-silent - disgust. Yet, since I get a lot of my inspiration from the news of the day, it feels as though climate change and our (lack of) response to it has become too important a topic to leave alone. We're getting more information almost daily and, for the most part, the...
Environmental Guilt and the Confessional Road to Rectification
In light of the 'failure' of the recent COP15 summit, there can perhaps be no more apt time to reflect on the value of the individual in the struggle towards an environmentally sound future. Political finger-pointing was indeed rife, but shed an ironic light on many people's frustrations as the negotiations came to a close: many readers' comments in the major papers seemed to have believed that our politicians were to become fairy godmothers on this one, and after a successful day's banter, pollution and climate change would be solved. To be hyper-critical or sarcastic is not my aim here; in terms of what was promised, COP15 was a shambles. But most of us can turn criticism closer to home and be...
Ways to Save on the Electric Bill Using Off-Grid System - Energy-Generating Windmills
It is difficult to imagine trying to survive without any electricity. Now we take having a power supply for granted. But lately more homeowners have been inquiring about alternative energy sources. If you have also been considering switching at least a percentage of your energy demands to a popular form of renewable energy then you may want to know what are advantages and disadvantages of wind energy for residential use. The most obvious advantage that is presented upon installing a wind turbine is that you will no longer be contributing to pollution and climate change. Most utility companies still provide electricity that has come from the burning of fossil fuels. It has been proven that these add...
Preparing for the Coming Ice Age
It is a scientific fact that the Ice Age is coming and that we have been living in a warming period for a little over 10,000 years. No one can say for sure when the Ice Age will kick into full gear, only that it is coming and it will happen in about 10 - 20 years once it starts. Perhaps I can win a Noble Prize for alerting all the humans of this coming ice age, which like the warming period is absolutely a normal climate cycle event. If the human civilizations continue to pretend we are causing Global Warming thru CO2 and fail to build robust infrastructure for the future coming Global Cooling period, billions of people will die. As the Global Award Winning Warming Alarmists scream fire in the...
The Ongoing Holocene Extinction
Scientists have concrete evidence that the Earth is currently undergoing the largest mass extinction in 65 million years. Over 50 species are going extinct every single day. It's called the Holocene Extinction -- Holocene being the current epoch that began at the end of the last ice age, about 10,000 years ago. From Earth's fossil record, we know about Six Great Mass Extinctions: - The Ordovician-Silurian Extinction occurred about 444 million years ago. At the time, all complex organisms lived in the sea. The most common theory is that the onset of an ice age caused the extinction, which wiped out over 100 families of marine life. Many trilobite families bit the dust during this event. - The Late...
How cold is Space?
Do you think space, or rather the vacuum, is cold? During my survey on the web during the past few months, it clearly showed that most people would answer yes to that question. Fact is that only matter can have a temperature, which is the speed of its molecules... Do you think space, or rather the vacuum, is cold? During my survey on the web during the past few months, it clearly showed that most people would answer yes to that question. Fact is that only matter can have a temperature, which is the speed of its molecules. The faster the molecules in a material move, the warmer that material is. Per definition, an absolute vacuum is a void, nothingness and therefore it cannot have any temperature. In...
Environmental Benefits of Bamboo Products
As the world looks to sustainable energy and products to reverse some of the devastating effects of global pollution and warming, our focus must be directed towards viable, long term solutions for production of goods. In a search to find materials that can continue to foster growth on the planet but not decimate the land of nutrients plants and animals need to survive, there is a viable solution. Time Magazine and Newsweek identified that planting of bamboo is one of the top things American's can do to help fight global warming. Bamboo is a very Earth friendly planto They can grow successfully without any fertilizers or pesticides and they grow extremely fasto Bamboo plants release 35% more air than...
How We Can All Help To Save Our Planet Through The Use Of Natural Energy Resources.
With scientists predicting extreme changes to our global weather patterns over the next 50 to 100 years, it is time we took notice and began to take steps, in an attempt to reduce the effect of these extreme changes. Our planet is very complex in geographical terms, and there are many aspects concerning our planet we do not understand yet. One of the most controversial claims of the late 20th century has been the theory of global warming. Most scientists agree global warming is in existence as a result of the industrial revolution, yet a significant amount of sceptics are in existence. These sceptics believe global warming is a natural occurrence and the earth experiences different temperature...
Global Warming in the Antarctic
After 40 years of being away I returned to the Antarctic in 2005. Even with over 98 percent of Antarctica being ice, global warming has started to change the fifth largest contient. In the 1960s I had worked on the Antarctic Peninsula as a meteorologist, and I drove huskies. (Environmental concerns that the Antarctic-born huskies were an alien species meant that by 1994 all the huskies were removed from the Antarctic). A major change has been the increase from a few hundred tourists in the 1960s to the present number of over 30,000 Anatractic visitors annually. But the greatest change has been the effects of global warming. Comparing my meteorological records from forty years ago to those of the...
The Global Warming Debate: How To Save Mother Earth
l warming is an issue that is still hotly debated by scientists. Most do agree that there is general evidence supporting the idea that global warming is occurring. The thing they are unable to agree on is if the global warming is being caused by our actions, or if it is a natural part of the earth's evolution. The Evidence It is possible to measure some parts of the environment to identify current trends. For example, the levels of methane and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are higher now than they have ever been in the past 650 years. The glaciers are melting at an increasing rate, and coral reefs are being destroyed due to increasing temperatures. The Greenhouse Gases Among the facts about...

There are many energy providers in the UK, and they all are trying to fulfill the demands of the people. Few leading among them are - British Gas, EBICO, EDF, E-ON, nPower and Utilita. But the Scottish Power Energy Supplier has a very aggressive approach towards this industry. They are serving around five million homes and businesses in the UK and in the Western United States. They generate electricity, operate & maintain large power delivery networks and provide a full range of energy supply services including metering, billing and call center support. Based on different usage and requirement, Scottish Power has divided the energy supply into three parts - Home Energy, Small Business Energy and...
Overview of Business Electricity Contracts
e 1990s, the energy industry was deregulated allowing domestic and business customers to choose their preferred energy supplier. Business energy is sold in one, two or three year contracts, domestic energy is not. Nearly two million small business customers (SMEs) now have the freedom to choose their energy supplier. Business owners can now choose from any supplier in the UK. Switching suppliers does not mean laying new cables or digging up the street. Electricity and gas will be delivered to the customer’s premises in the same way as it does now. If a customer has a problem with their meter, cables or other equipment, they can call the emergency number provided by their new supplier and the...
Business Electricity Comparisons in Plain English
Comparing business electricity and business gas prices doesn't have to be complicated, particularly if you use an independent expert to guide you through the process. However there is a tendency for some commercial energy suppliers to use jargon and acronyms which mean nothing to the average businessperson simply looking to compare business electricity prices. Here's our guide to the abbreviations you might come across when looking to switch commercial electricity: ARD - Agreed Read Dispute. Industry-wide process to resolve problems arising when closing and opening meter readings do not correspond during a business electricity switch or change of tenancy. AMR - Automated Meter Reading. Available...
Save With UK Government Incentives For Renewable Energy
As part of a world initiative to reduce our carbon footprint, the UK government is investing billions in schemes to encourage consumers and businesses to use renewable energy sources rather than rely on coal and oil for power. What this means for everybody in Britain is that they can save money and energy by taking advantage of generous government tax rebates, zero interest loans and pay outs for investment in alternative energy. The Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) scheme provides a 100% tax rebate on any investment in energy saving equipment. In addition to ECA's incentive scheme, the Carbon Trust provides loans for energy efficiency and has increased the size of its available loans from £...
Going Green Guide
Why go Green? Within the office environment, we have become used to the 24/7 convenience of electricity being available whenever we need it. However, if the whole world consumed as much resource as the UK did, we'd need three planets to support us! Qualify for tenders Moral obligation isn't the only reason to start thinking green. Larger companies often demand green credentials within their supply chains. Research by government agency NetRegs, a provider of environmental guidance to businesses, shows that 95% of contractors are more likely to contract with firms that prove they are green. "In a poll of 14,500 people in 15 countries, more than half said they were active ethical consumers". BBC...

What Can We Do About the World Energy Crisis?
an ever-increasing demand for energy, and lessening supplies of energy producing resources, the whole world is heading towards a drastic energy crisis. The world supplies of coal, oil, and gas are finite, and WILL run out, yet more and more nations of the world are becoming large-scale consumers as they become more industrialized and more sophisticated in their standard of living. There is, of course, also the fact that the methods used currently to generate energy are known to be detrimental to the atmosphere, belching out greenhouse gasses and other pollutants. Scientists have been saying for some time that these emissions are increasing the global warming problem, and as more and more power is...
Fundamental Ways That Could Stop Global Warming
What do you think could come in as more important to our basic human needs such as food, shelter, medicine, education or even the need for affection? There could be one issue that would predetermine everything that will transpire on the planet, and that is the planet's condition. If the world were on the brink of destruction, saving it would be the priority of every single individual. And save it we must. Although the threat is still not at a life and death level, there is an alarming truth that there are several problems that are now bugging the place that we live in. Say hello to global warming. And try to say bye - stop global warming! Global warming, which is also known as the greenhouse...
Top Ten Causes of Global Warming (Part 3)
7. Nitrous Oxide According to nitrous oxide has about 310 times the effect on global warming than carbon dioxide. In other words, despite the fact that Nitrous Oxide makes up such a tiny amount of the atmospheric gases, it is more dangerous than carbon dioxide. The causes of Nitrous oxide are unknown as of now. Some believe this gas comes from microorganisms and natural reactions in the earth. This would not account for the fact that the amount of nitrous oxide in the atmosphere has increased. Others believe that the increase could come from the sun, sunspot activity, and other factors that can be related o the thinning of the ozone layer. 8. Deforestation In the past, many countries demolished...
The best way to Save Electricity
Every time you might be saving electricity, you could be keeping money. What exactly is more, you assist lessen need for non-renewable fuels like coal, oil and natural gas. By simply decreasing the burning of fossil fuels, we are reducing the emission of co2, that is the key cause of climate change and pollution. These days, persons have the absolute power and selection to convert the way they make full use of energy through many diverse energy saving steps. By simply exercising just a couple steps to saving and conserving energy, you are cutting the annual man emissions by a lot of money as well as your electricity bills by 100's of dollars each calendar month! Can you think about that? Having the...
Global Warming and Deforestation
Global warming has serious consequences to the life of earth. The past few years has witnessed a rise in the levels of the seas and increase in the overall temperature of the planet. One of the main causes of this serious threat can be attributed to deforestation. Mankind has been cutting trees indiscriminately for his own use. Tremendous urbanization has reduced the overall forest coverage in the world. We all know that how much trees are necessary for maintaining the ecological balance of the earth. Trees help in extracting water from the soil, and thereby releasing this moisture into the air. Indiscriminate felling of trees results in the disturbances of water cycle resulting in a drier...
The Myths on Global Warming Exposed!
Today, everybody lives on a planet that has been battered by careless generations of the past. And we are still contributing to the earth's eventual loss. There are so many factors that could cause the planet's demise. Water, air, land pollution, also, global warming. Global warming is defined as the increase in Earth's temperature (on both its bodies of water and atmosphere). Scientists have also projected a continuance on the temperature increase. Most people believe that global warming has occurred because of many, harmful human activities. Partly, of course, it is true. But let us try to look at all the other factors that lead to this catastrophe - well, before you start to panic or fuss...
Save Energy - Your Hot Water System is Costing You Dearly
There is a growing concern over the fate of the environment, and with the potential for rising utility costs a reality, it is increasingly important to find practical ways to reduce your energy use. This will ultimately save you money and help you to reduce your greenhouse gas emissions, protecting the environment as well! One of the major energy guzzling culprits in your home is your hot water system. A lot of people still have electric powered storage systems. These systems heat water using an element which is a very power intensive method of heating and should be avoided if possible. They then store this water until it is needed and in many cases a lot of heat is lost, especially overnight...
Global Warming Prelude To New Ice Age?
Global Warming Prelude To New Ice Age? "The trouble with most folks ain't so much their ignorance, as knowing so much that ain't so." Philosopher Henry Wheeler Shaw - a.k.a. Josh Billings - in 1880 seems to have anticipated Al Gore, former vice-president and presidential candidate. Gore has refurbished his climate spook show for another stab at the brass ring. Friendly media say he wows Hollywood and tree huggers. Maybe, but respected scientists replace politics with facts. Robert Essenhigh, professor of Energy Conservation at Ohio State University says, "Global warming is a natural geological process that could begin to reverse itself within 10 to 20 years." He expands his premise in the current...
Global Warming and How You Can Help
While there are some dissenters, almost all scientists from the major industrialized countries agree that global warming is real. Over the last 100 years or so, global temperatures have increased more than ever before, by what history we have. There are a few theories as to why this is happening, but the most common one is the greenhouse effect. This theory has to do with greenhouse gasses and the increased emission of them in the post-industrialized era. Greenhouse gasses actually keep us alive, keeping our atmosphere about 33 degrees Celsius warmer than it would be otherwise, but too much can cause problems. In reality, just a one degree increase in temperature could be disastrous for the entire...
The Threat of Global Warming
Global warming is a serious threat, one that cannot be taken lightly. This article delves deeper into global warming and identifies the causes as well as the devastating effects. Global warming is primarily caused by an imbalance of the "greenhouse gases." Greenhouse gases in of themselves are not malevolent; in fact, the earth's atmosphere is essentially a by-product of the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect keeps some of the heat generated on earth from escaping into space. Without the greenhouse effect and its corresponding gases, the average temperature of the earth would be about zero degrees Fahrenheit, and not the current 57 degrees Fahrenheit. However, numerous scientific institutions...
Is Global Warming a Serious Problem? What Do People Think?
Number of people believing that global warming is indeed a serious problem is increasing every day and experts say there is about 57% of people worldwide that acknowledge the seriousness of global warming problem. But there are only 50 % people worldwide that think human actions caused global warming problem , and among other 50 % of people many of them think human actions are not solely responsible as for them natural changes in climate change are as much responsible as human actions. Only 42% of people want governments to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants. Majority of people think that individual actions can't do much in fight against warming trend. As we can see from these...
Scientist Alfred Nobel is Spinning in His Grave - His Prize Awarded For Fact-Faked Ideology!
Have "Global Warming" ideologues caused the tarnishing of the once-proud title of "Scientist" - with fact-faked data? Has an important science to human welfare - Climatology - become only a propaganda tool for liberal extremists to force the US and other industrialized countries to undergo technological "greening" restrictions and pay exorbitant emission reparations for "destroying the planet"? Is this global-warming movement rooted less in unemotional science than in the uneasy consciences of liberals about industrial development and capitalism? Is there solid scientific proof of both: climate change and man-causation? What is the scientific base for this near-universal conventional wisdom? The...
Global Waming Changes
The global warming climate change is a big issue, since we all start to witness more and more extreme weather and frequent natural disasters, and many of the old generation will tell you that they never experienced a warmer summer, a colder winter and a rainier season we all start to comprehend that what started 20 years or more as a small group of scientists started making noise about the greenhouse effects and global warming was not something scientific at all, it is very much a part of our every day life and may turn into a very important consideration in the near future. As glaciers in Antarctica start melting in a seriously dangerous rate and the temperatures in the ocean rise as a result of...
Two things every voter should be aware of regarding the latest U.N. report on global warming: 1. What the science in the report actually says 2. What the policy makers who wrote the report, claim, the science, says The science should have caused all global warming zealots to back off big time. This report throws serious doubt on some vital information in previous reports written by the same IPCC in 1990, 1995 and 2001. The study was done by scientists and the report was written by policy makers, many of whom, possibly all of whom, have an agenda. In fact many of these policy wonks, work for governments who preach climate fear, to advance the Global Warming agenda. In the Mainstream Media, those who...
I am writing in response to the Oregonian's report on global warming, I am concerned, as many are, at the prospect of closing Hwy 35, or any highway, because of global warming. Fellow Americans, I urge you to take action wherever you can to at least slow this down. In this article I would like to go over the causes of global warming, and how you may help fight this very real threat to humanity. According to the Oregonian newspaper, the root cause of global warming, whether you live in Oregon or the Orient, is excessive carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is literally emitted by us daily as we breathe, as you may well know. It is also emitted from daily activities such as when we...
Global Warming Debate Heats Up
Global warming predictions evoke anger or fear in some, cynicism in others and denial in an increasingly vocal group. Whatever the outcome, many of us older types won't be around for the final act. Perhaps we may see the opening credits. Here's hoping it won't turn out like "The Day After Tomorrow," which sent tidal waves into New York City and temperatures plunging in North America. Two authors have taken decidedly different tacks about how to approach the issue. Bill McKibben, author, activist and 350.org founder, took off today from Unity College in Maine with one of the original solar panels from the roof of the White House. It was put there by President Jimmy Carter and taken down by President...
Are Humans the Cause of Global Warming?
Global warming is a serious condition that affects our planet. The only way that we can put a stop to global warming is to fully understand all of the human causes of global warming. There are also natural ways that eart warming occurs, so it cannot all be completely blamed on humans. It is not very likely that people can put an end to the natural things that contribute to this warming. Although, we can make a huge difference by stopping activities that make global warming happen faster and to a larger extent than the natural causes. We can all make a few simple changes to our normal activities and have a huge impact on the future of the planet. Humans Cause Global Warming in Various Ways Can you...
Global Warming - Can We Resist Its "Negative Repercussions"
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...
Global Warming - Impact On Coastal Communities
Global warming is highly controversial. There are several studies and reports being generated to support both sides of the argument. One argument states that global warming is not the massive global issue it is purported to be. While the other argument clearly shows evidence that global warming is occurring and it is a large problem. In order to understand the reports on global warming it is important to establish what the global warming theory really is. Global warming is the increase in average temperature both in surface air and oceans. Another section of global warming is considered the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect shows that the increase in temperature is leading to a lower...
Explaining to Kids About Global Warming
Global warming is a complicated subject. Most of us would be oblivious to it and ignore the fact that our planet Earth is dying. So we must do our part and help take care of our only home. The attitude should be taught to kids at an early age so they will grow into responsible adults that will take care of the environment. Teaching global warming for kids however will be difficult. They see the world in their own eyes and it is filled with beautiful things. They do not understand that what some of their actions are hurting the planet. Giving them a lecture about saving the environment will just bore them. So you need to teach them by giving a lot of examples. You can find example of global warming...
Global Warming and Environment
Today, people in this world are threatened by the natural disasters. What are the causes of such thing? Some people call this situation as the normal thing. But the other people still try to look for the solutions and think about the possible ways to make everything better. In this case, they should never forget about the fact that our earth is not balanced anymore. Global warming is claimed to be the most detrimental threat for people's life nowadays. It has been widely known that the natural imbalance has brought several bad effects, such as flood, long drought, and so on. So, the great awareness about keeping the environmental balance is greatly needed. How can we do it? Actually, it is not a...
The Coming Ice Age and the Ethanol Trend Mistake
One interesting thing about Earth warming cycles is that they cause evaporation and that means more clouds in the sky and water droplets blocking the sun. Meaning that global warming can precede global cooling - what is global cooling or global dimming? Well, that is what the Global Warming alarmists forgot to tell you. Volcanic Activity in the ocean can cause increased ocean temps, changes of water currents and conveyor belts of cool water and even particulate in the atmosphere, which can cause clouds to form also, and also block the sun. Now then, if Global Warming is real or if we are ending a high-temp phase, which comes right before a global cooling period, or ice age? Ah ha, so you have heard...
The Next Big Thing in Business is Going Green!
Investing on businesses that can help reduce global warming is one solution that experts can think of. Instead of buying a car that feeds on fossil fuel, why not use a hybrid one. But these days makers of hybrid cars are few. Instead of using glass windows, why not use photovoltaic panels to trap the energy of the sun. With the right technology to couple it with, we can save on electricity for the whole building. So, if you are looking for a new venture then choosing one that helps the environment is a perfect one. It is not only a growing business but also you help reduce the effects of global warming. Also, you help spread the concern for the environment and caring for it through your actions...
Is Man Made Global Warming A Scam?
Against the tide of global warming propaganda, there have been a multitude of scientific articles published in 2007 that refute the global warming theories. Because that is all they were, theories. However one of the most important happenings last year was the findings of a legal battle against the film 'The Inconvenient Truth', this took place in England. The judge in the case found against the film, and ruled that, in order for the film to be shown at schools, the Government must first amend their Guidance Notes to Teachers to make clear that 1.) The Film is a political work and promotes only one side of the argument. 2.) If teachers present the Film without making this plain they may be in...
The energy saving hour, or Earth Hour, is a green initiative to help promote awareness of energy conservation issues and combat global warming around the world. Individual cities in every nation have in the last few years implemented annual energy saving hours to turn off all unnecessary lights and shut down any equipment that causes a drain on the local power grid. Started in 2007, Earth Hour has become a worldwide phenomenon that has heightened the consciousness of millions to the plight of wasteful practices that results in energy shortages threatening our world. An energy saving hour was first incorporated by the World Wildlife Fund's Sydney branch when 2.2 million homes and business turned off...
Pellet Stoves As an Alternative to Home Heating Oil Prices
The economic recession has definitely had a serious impact on the common man. Now, trying to meet even the basic needs of running a home is much more difficult, especially with the rate of home heating oil prices. Using oil to heat your home is a real test, as the price of oil is so high and unpredictable, its hard to forecast how much money you need to put aside to be able to afford your heating bill each month. Therefore, there is a strong needs to search for alternatives to help lower the annual heating costs of the average home. Now, wood heating is certainly nothing new, but a log stove cannot be used as a complete heating solution for the modern home. However in pellet form, pellet stoves can...
Largest Rooftop in US Receives Solar Panels
Boston-based Satcon, which provides power conversion and system design solutions for utility-scale renewable energy projects, announced recently that it had installed four 250 kilowatt Satcon inverters at the Orange County, Florida, Convention Center, which is the largest solar rooftop installation in the Southeast. The convention center, located in Orlando, has 200,000 square feet of monocrystalline photovoltaic (PV) panels that will deliver 1.1 megawatts of clean solar power, or enough to power more than 100 homes for a year. Designed and built by Johnson Controls Inc., a leading provider of products and services that optimize energy use and improve comfort and security, the solar array will also...
