Here is the situation: India congratulates itself for having among the lowest per-capita rates of greenhouse gas emission in the world. India's GHG emissions are about 1.5 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per capita. India claims it "is not a significant contributor" to global GHG emissions (though it is the fifth largest, and will probably be the 3rd largest within a few years). It says won't exceed the per capita emissions of the industrialized countries even as it develops. (It should be careful about this promise, since industrialized countries could cut their per-capita rates substantially if they wanted to. These goalposts can be moved, and such promises forgotten.) But India achieves this low rate of...

South Africa's main source for carbon emissions is industrial coal usage, producing 40% of the African continent's fossil fuel-related carbon emissions. Sappi Fine Paper South Africa has made sure that its energy-intensive production does all it can to look after the environment it affects. Just over 41% of all Sappi's energy requirements are met by renewable resources. Ralph Boëttger, Chief Executive Officer of Sappi, comments: "As responsible corporate citizens in an energy-intensive industry, one of our primary goals is to reduce our carbon footprint by decreasing our reliance on fossil fuels." Sappi's consumption of electricity and the nature of its manufacturing make addressing its energy...

In a special issue dated August 2002 Time Magazine declared the 21st century as the "green century." Implicit in this is the development of the green economy and environmental jobs. Complicated, yet possible, Time's editors suggest the endeavor is not only worthwhile, but critical. Doing nothing would result in "facing a world far more inhospitable than the one we know now, possibly one unlivable for people, and most animal and plants" ("The Challenges we face," Time Magazine Special Report by Jeffrey Klugger and Andrea Dorfman (August 18, 2002)). Time went on to highlight topics discussed at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg. Reductions in fossil fuel use world-wide...

We are all aware of the fact that the earth is warming up and people all over this planet are trying their best to preserve some of the resources nature has given us. At the same time we are doing the best we can to reduce the damage we have done to the earth. You do not have to be a believer in global warming or a scientist not even think of your own conspiracy to see that it's important we don't use up all of earths resource as if they would never dry out. Emitting Carbon dioxin causes damage to our ozone layer which can't be repaired.

Soil erosion has occurred for over 450 million years. Erosion is the result of displacement of soil, mud, stones, rock and other particles by water, ice, rivers, streams, ocean currents, wind or living organisms. Gravity helps in soil erosion. Erosion is a natural process but time and again is made worse by human in the name of deforestation, overgrazing, over construction and building of roads. Excessive erosion leads to damage of the ecosystem, loss of topsoil and water sedimentation. The effects of erosion are made worse due to overpopulation. Soil erosion can be minimized by improved land use techniques such the building of terraces, tree planting, the use of cover crops and minimal...

With so much of energy being built into our daily system, the world suffers from excessive carbon emissions. One is sure to be surprised when they sit down and actually count their carbon footprints released everyday.

Traveling through McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, it is not too surprising to see the "parking lot" of limos when you walk out on the ground floor. Somehow, we have evolved and still often equate luxury travel, and the "fast life" of Las Vegas and big cities with the "exclusivity" that comes from riding in a stretch limo. (Did you know that most of these limos, including the Hummers, Caddies, BMWs and Rolls, average between 9 and 12 miles per gallon?) One of the reasons that these cars are so pricey to rent is the cost of filling them up with gasoline!

Have you noticed that the results of global warming are getting worse? As human-caused carbon dioxide is emitted into the atmosphere at increasing rates, the global temperature is slowly increasing. Most of the hottest years on record have occurred during the last ten years. This alarming trend is getting progressively worse. The results of global warming include severe weather patterns like storms, hurricanes, droughts, and rainy seasons that are far more dangerous than average. The oceans are very receptive to temperature increases - coral reefs are dying and the migrations of large schools of fish are being altered in unnatural ways. The oceans are also becoming more acidic, one of the reasons...

Worrying can also affect your health in many ways by upsetting your sleep schedule or eating habits, worrying can also cause some people to abuse alcohol or start taking drugs. Some things we worry about we can actually have an effect on such as paying our bills, for example if you worry about being able to pay your bills then...

Global warming is a serious issue that requires immediate action to be resolved. We can't afford to procrastinate when it comes to global warming because the more we put it off for the next day, the bigger its effect will be on our planet. Every individual is enjoined to work hand-in-hand to stop global warming. We don't have to wait for the government to come up with drastic policies to resolve this issue. Each one of us can do something to stop it. You don't have to do great things because small things done with great love can create a huge impact. Everything starts from very little effort and here's mine. I came up with a list of alternatives that can help stop global warming. 1. Compact...

You think we've got a rat problem in big cities right now? Wait until the year 2050 when the temperature of our globe is expected to rise by anywhere from 0.5 to 1 degree Celsius. We will definitely need much more efficient pest control technologies and lots and lots of mouse traps that work. It's time to invest in the stocks of pest control giants. Air conditioning and cooling technologies will need to be improved rapidly without of course using the same coolants that are partially responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer...

Fossil fuels take millions of years to form. They are basically started with the decay of matter and then created by the pressure of the earth, deep underground. There are several different types of fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and natural gas. These products are used to create energy all around the world. The problems with using these fuels is quickly becoming apparent. These fuels are not limitless. Eighty-six percent of all the world's energy is created from fossil fuels. Thirty-six percent is from petroleum, twenty-seven percent is from coal, twenty-three is from natural gas. That's a pretty high dependency on fuels that won't last forever. Especially considering that the world's energy...

It was very difficult discovering the 'ape-man' fossils to fill in the Evolution ape man chart during the first few decades of the theory. By 1925 there were two or three of these that were bringing some real hope. The Piltdown man was being used as an example of human evolution (which later turned out to be a hoax) and there was Java man (which was later shown to be the combination of two bones from different species). Evolutionists desired to put evolution into the schools but were finding it very difficult. They decided to put on a 'circus' type event in order to get attention to the theory. This event was called the 'Scopes Trial' and was later deemed 'The Monkey Trial'. It was more of a...

Carbon footprint can be defined as an estimate of the amount of carbon dioxide that can be produced from your lifestyle. To find out how much carbon footprint that you produce, perhaps you cannot predict it exactly. Food and beverage, the usage of electricity at home and methods of travel are some factors which affect the level of carbon footprint that you produce. Carbon dioxide was produced about 7.5 tons per year average for each person in the United States or perhaps more than 7.5 tons currently. If you think about reducing your carbon footprint maybe you are able to change your lifestyle little by little depending on your ability. If you want to know how much your carbon footprint production...

The old technologies use fossil fuels to generate energy. As the same technology was in use for several years, the fossil fuels have depleted. Coal formation requires several thousands of years and it can't be manufactured artificially. Using non-renewable sources for energy production must be minimized and everyone should look for alternative energy sources. The refrigerators, air conditioning systems and other electrical appliances that we normally use contribute to global warming.

Romans developed the first underfloor heating about 2,000 years ago when they placed furnaces in cellars and used the generated heat to warm the ground floor. Water- and electricity-based underfloor systems are becoming more popular today as more homeowners discover the benefits of using this type of heat. Radiant and convection heat work together to make underfloor heating a desirable way to heat a home. An underfloor heating system uses either electric heating cables or pipes carrying boiler-warmed water that are hidden beneath the floor. These cables or pipes send out radiant heat, which is absorbed by the floor, warming the entire surface of the floor. The heat absorbed by the floor is...

Be skeptical about global warming and you're branded with a scarlet "D" for "Denier." Say global warming is a crock, and you are shunned at parties. I'm an environmentalist, like most in Maine, but I'm not an environmental zealot. Because I'm also an economist and a professional business analyst. From these perches, I can see policies that purport to fix global warming - like cap and trade taxes, and legislation that enacts them, like the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative or the federal Climate Security Act - as pernicious and corrupting ideas in the arena of business and politics. They're elegant con jobs, which turn junk science into major dollars for developers. People like former governor Angus...

You may have heard people complain about the weather outside affecting certain conditions such as arthritis, but you may never have suspected that the climate in which you live could be a gout cause. Over the last few years, it is becoming commonly accepted that previous hypotheses that said the weather could not affect gout are actually quite incorrect. Though studies have been performed and have come up with some results, due to the high number of variables, the impact that climate has as a gout cause is by no means well understood. Therefore, the studies have looked into geographical distribution with regards to the number of cases of gout as a weak guide regarding the weather that is most likely...
