How can we accurately measure the heat of our planet? It is a molten core of heat exploding as volcano's spew lava. Does anyone take this into consideration in talking about global warming ?

help prevent our demise. The world is deteriorating at a rapid rate; The Glaziers in Iceland are melting at rates unheard of and we are facing disasters in biblical proportions. We need to get on the ball and take this seriously or bend down, put our heads between our legs and kiss our azzezz goodbye!

The most basic trade-off is between HEAT and TIME to boiling. Assume a circular base boiling medium on an average liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) stove, for this is where the question is practically applicable. Well, it might also work for electric stoves.

At a higher heat setting, there will be more fuel consumed per unit time, but the time it will take for the water to boil will be shorter. At a lower heat, less fuel is consumed per unit time, but it will take longer to boil the water.

The desired final comparison is between CONSTANT HEAT and OVERALL FUEL CONSUMPTION (from beginning to heat room-temperature water).

Thank you! :-)

I am just going throught the process of purchasing a house.An environmental report has been completed and a flood risk has come back in the results from the environment agency. The house is next to a fast flowing small brook which it`s source originates some few hundred metres away.The house is 100 metres above sea level and the brook flows towards an area at a much lower height level. The locals can not remember the brook flooding. Is the report from the environment agency a positive result because the house is next to a brook? Are they over sensitive to cover themselves?Are there any other accurate searches/surveys that can be completed? Any advice from someone with past experience or professional experience would be greatly appreciated.

Communities pick up grass and yard clippings, farmers plow under the plants of the fruits and vegetables we eat, we grind up garbage and all of these examples are usable for alcohol production. Are we really trying to reduce our cost of fuel or only shifting the wealth it represents?

The United States puts out nearly one third of the world's greenhouse gases. Still, our government will not agree to a treaty that will be beneficial for it, along with the rest of the planet. How can they deny the validity of a global treaty that all but two nations have agreed to in some way?
