Environment - August 2007

When this topic is mentioned.
There is always some FOOL who says there is no proof that man has caused global warming.
What ever the cause global warming is a fact that we all must find a way to survive.
What ever caused it makes no difference to our survival. It is the lord who say vengeance is mine. Those companies that have been holding back the technology that could have saved us will know who is to blame. Ask any thermal engineer how much his technology has progressed in the public eye in the past 50 years. If you want to see for your self go to any good search engine and search for
ice shelf 1995 then keep increasing the year you will see the information that you get comes out every couple of months up until 2004 when for some reason everything either it got very quiet or the information stopped reaching us.
There are also sites that had information, that for no apparent reason went away. Do you suppose this information is being held back?

Hi world! I just put another video in youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u7BzCPFdQQ
I don´t know what is happening in your country right now, but here in Mexico it´s really getting hot and wet. I recorded some TV-News also. Feel free to watch my other videos also in youtube. They are in different languages. I really would like if you could help me in finding people who can give my message to other countries, because as more people we are
as better we can do something for this planet. Global Warming is real, even a blind man can see it (even feel it). So I hope I can count on you. There is nothing to loose, but we can win everything in turning off our lights on 9 th of september (local time) for 9 minutes. Once this is in the news, more doors can get opened. I count on you, the world needs you. Think of your children also. We all deserve a planet with conditions for a comfortable life. Here can you find more videos: www.youtube.com/cancunhans

For years this problem has vexed me as I have tried to do my bit to stave of global warming. I now have no more room in my loft due to the accumulated bags of toenail clippings. It's time to take action. Do I compost them, burn them, eat them? You tell me.

The delivery system essentially consists of a large water tank with eels and a throttle which controls the amount of the eel irritant introduced. The more you irritate the eels, the more charge you will get. The size of your tank and the number of eels dictates the speed and distance. You can expect 2 baby eels in a jar to power a bicycle on flat terrain for 5 miles at about 12mph. 20-25 mature eels can get you 0-60 in under 7 seconds and go for about 40 miles at freeway speeds before the eels die.

less than 1% of the atmosphere is greenhouse gas

Nature has slowly adapted to uptake roughly the same amount of CO2 that it gives off. This is a steady state known as the carbon cycle. Nature cannot adapt fast enough to uptake the amount (4% of all co2 emissions) that human activity produces. Every second this amount builds up in the atmosphere.

The greenhouse effect - fact
CO2 is a greenhouse gas - fact

CO2 is believed to be responsible for roughly 1/2 of enhanced
greenhouse effect.

CH4 - absorbs 20 times more IR light than CO2- human activity accounts for more than 50% of all methane emissions
HFC's - absorbs hundreds of times more IR light than CO2- Human activity responsible for nearly 100% of HFC emissions, HFC's have no natural sink.
-Countless other greenhouse gases emitted by human activity.

We can argue about doom and gloom scenarios, but
how can you make a logical argument that human activity does change the climate at all?

If you have one, are you really saving money after taking into consideration the installation costs?
Where does one find what models are available and installers who are familiar with them?

Some geothermal installations involve drilling a well, others involve laying the anti-freeze filled plastic pipes in ditches.
Which is the better system? What has your experience been?
Does someone sell a kit for installing the system yourself?

The small, on-demand gas water heaters are great for saving on energy if you don't need lots of hot water, and the Europeans have been using them at least since the 1960's. They haven't really caught on here, and some plumbers I've talked with don't have a lot of experience with them.
I you have such a water heater, is it reliable? If something goes wrong how difficult is it to find someone to fix it? And are you saving a lot of energy?

Many people know some of the bird and animal species, but the loss of plant species affects many other species, too.

Are you working to help protect our native flora and fauna?

Besides the killing of tens of millions of sharks each year just to harvest their fins for soup and throwing the rest away the Chinese continue to use tiger parts,rhino parts and the parts of other rapidly declining species for their traditional medicine. I consider the Chinese to be among the most selfish people on earth. As long as they get theirs the hell with the rest of the animal kingdom! What are your thoughts?

The climate has gone up and down for billions of years.
It's been much hotter and much colder.
The temperature has gone up and down slower and faster.
There has been much more and much less CO2 in the atmosphere.
Other planets in the solar system are changing at the same rate as earth.

Why is it any different now?
Is it because humans exsist?

It seems that the so called environ"MENTAL" crowd would be behind global warming if it's going to be as bad as they say. All of the catastrophy that they claim will happen will only result in a reduction of population, a key component in there argument to stop global warming.

And if the debate is over, do the proponents of global warming understand they have lost?

If a person that maximizes their voice will increase temperature, then we might be able to stop global warming by minimizing our voices.

Hi People,

I have just read (and watch the most horrific video of the process) and signed the petition: STOP FUR TRADE IN CHINA

Please, spare a minute or two to do your duty as a smart and caring human being. These poor animals need as many voices to voice their suffering. May God bless you.
