Global Warming Research: What Scientists and Experts Know About Global Warming

Allan Wilson — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 18:11:23 +0000

Much discussion and arguments have been made on the issue of global warming for the past few years. Many experts who have been conducting global warming research for the past several years warn people that the earth is heating up. According to these scientists who have been doing global warming research, the effects of global warming can be quite devastating to humans and other forms of life on the planet. Note that negative changes in the environment will endanger different types of species. It is not uncommon for some types of life form to die out with the changes in the composition of the environment.

Results of global warming research showed that this phenomenon had caused some severe damaged in the environment. For instance, dry spells in some parts of the globe had caused some severe forest fires that destroyed hundreds of acres of forests. As consequence of these forest fires, the biodiversity in the area is severely affected. Aside from forest fires, extreme heat caused the water table in some areas to retreat. Living in the upland areas are the most affected by the depletion of the ground water.

The Other Side Of The Issue

Although there are many scientists who believe that global warming can cause a lot of disturbances in the planet, there are also a lot of scientists who are conducting global warming research that claim that the increase in the temperature of the surface of the earth is negligible and this could not really cause much damage to your environment. According to these scientists that are conducting global warming research, the earth normally warms up after a specific length of time and this process is essential to the evolution of life. According to them, the heating process of the planet is but a normal phenomenon and is therefore harmless. They believe that people are just overly reacting to the issue of global warming and that there is really no immediate threat to the environment due to global warming.

Who Is Telling The Truth?

The varying opinions of scientists on the issue of global warming can be quite confusing at times. If you are one of those people who have not really made up your mind about the impact of global warming to our environment, it would be a good idea to take a precautionary approach to the issue. If you are not sure about something, it is better to approach the issue cautiously and work on preventing the further heating up of the planet. Note that it is a lot better to be safe than sorry.

I take Greg Craven’s view, its better to take action whether we need to or not. We only get to play this once lets get on and do something just in case.

What Can Nations Do To Combat Global Warming?

Allan Wilson — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 12:15:58 +0000

There are things individuals can do to help stop global warming. Yet, when nations get involved, it is to everyone’s benefit to see to it that the right steps are taken. Nations can combat global warming by many different means.

For one thing, a good forestry department can have a huge impact. The carbon dioxide that is one cause of global warming is eaten up by trees. If a country fosters the growth of its forests and does not allow them to be cut down indiscriminately, global warming will be slowed down.

Another thing nations can do is to focus on energy efficiency. The less energy is used, the less global warming has a chance to take hold. A country can place efficiency standards on appliances and cars. Even better, they can redesign cities so that walking and cycling can become an option instead of people having to drive everywhere.

Alternative sources of energy emit little or no greenhouse gases. Using them will help curb global warming. Hydro-power, solar energy, and windmills can be used to take the place of burning gas, or coal for electricity. Windmills, in fact, are already being set up by the scores in many fields in out-of-the-way places. This is a good step to prevent global warming.

Nations can also be quick to adjust their policies to the climatic changes of the times. When one type of crop will no longer grow well because it needs a cooler climate, that crop can be replaced in that area with a different kind that will. Nations can build aqueducts to transport water to drought-ridden areas.

There are different ways that nations can get their message about global warming across. First, they can make laws about it. They can require people to use environmentally-friendly appliances, fuel sources, and vehicles. They can make it a legal requirement for auto makers to reduce harmful emissions given off by their cars.

Another way to change people’s behavior is to make it financially advantageous to be concerned about global warming. If gas prices are higher, people are spurred on to finding a more fuel-efficient vehicle, or even a different fuel source altogether.

Tax incentives and government subsidies can also encourage people to think about global warming. The only problem is that this approach usually favors those who have more money in the first place.

Governments can make it their business to inform and educate the people of the country. With news and data about global warming, people will be prompted to take it seriously. When methods for reducing greenhouse gases are made known by the government, people have a chance to put those methods into practice.

Finally, it is essential that governments get involved with making sure that research and development are done. Global warming cannot be overcome without good information. It is to the advantage of every citizen when the nation puts some of its focus on global warming. When a country approaches global warming with a common sense, proactive sensibility, beneficial changes can be made.

Evidence Of Global Warming Causes Alarm

Allan Wilson — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 17:06:02 +0000

There is evidence of global warming around the world, and this evidence of global warming makes many people worry about the future. This important subject is debated and discussed more and more by everyone . Some of the discussion on the evidence of global warming takes place in casual conversation around dinner tables, while other discussions about the evidence of global warming take place in formal conferences with delegates from many different places around the world or on radio and television programs.
The Evidence
Evidence of global warming comes from historical records of weather patterns from around the world. There is some evidence that the current temperatures are the highest in four hundred years. The evidence of global warming as indicated by the rise in temperatures has increased the interest in global warming and the steps necessary to reverse the bad effects of global warming.
Some of the evidence of global warming is startling. Most people have seen the dramatic pictures of the glaciers in Alaska. And the melting of glaciers and sea ice is increasing every day. As the melting increases, the warming of the oceans is causing coral bleaching and deterioration. Tropical diseases are spreading at increased rates also.
Scientists continue to look at the evidence that is available about global warming. These knowledgeable people have looked at the core atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide. The data that the scientists have collected shows the highest levels of carbon dioxide and methane in six hundred fifty thousand years
What Can We Do

It is a fact that the United Sates is the largest consumer of oil in the world. Twenty percent of United States emissions come from automobiles. Ninety three percent of power plants in the United States burn coal to produce electricity.
Everyone can make changes in their lives each day to decrease their usage of “dirty” energy. Carpooling, taking the bus , working from home and driving fuel-efficient cars is ways to cut carbon dioxide emissions. Using compact fluorescent light bulbs, home insulation and using alternative energy sources, such as wind or sun, can reduce the need to produce electricity utilizing coal burning power plants.
Just as importantly, we need to elect government representatives that will work to lead the way in greenhouse gas emission reduction and eventual elimination. The evidence of global warming is overwhelming and we can only hope we still have enough time to save our planet.

Glaciers Melting And Sea Levels Rising

Allan Wilson — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 16:49:00 +0000

Effects of global warming Can Be Seen In Glaciers Melting And Sea Levels Rising
The greenhouse effect is constantly making the news and warning after warning is ringing our ears that keep emphasizing how it is to be blamed for global warming. If Hurricane Katrina and other strong hurricanes were not hurting us so bad, and sounding the warning of what could happen if we don’t do something about global warming, we would have maybe not given the effects of global warming a second thought and consigned them to yet another scientific myth.
Nothing New, You May Argue
You might argue that the greenhouse effect has been with mankind for more than four billion years and there has not been anything to worry about this far. The trouble is that the recent effects of global warming are a bit different because some of the activities that we humans are pursuing as well as certain practices are changing this as yet benign change in climatic conditions.
We have certainly been experiencing the effects of global warming for the past few years most noticeably in changes to climatic conditions. The circulation of the oceans is changing, the planet’s orbit is affected and there is also a change in the sun’s intensity. This is reason to consider what the ill-effects of global warming are, and do something serious to prevent, alleviate as well as reduce its adverse effects on humankind. There have been drastic changes to the globe and dire consequences will not spare humans as well as the millions of other species that are dependent on the earth for their very survival.
With glaciers melting and causing the sea levels to rise, we can see the perfect example of the effects of global warming in the rising sea levels. Though we cannot readily see or perceive these effects of global warming, they are still serious and may cause more land to go under the waters of the seas if we are not careful. This can be seen in the example when just a 0.3 meter rise in sea level will cause the swallowing up of fifteen meters of a beach. It certainly is reason to sit up and take notice before it gets too late.

Other effects of global warming are felt in the effect it has on agricultural practices that are dependent wholly on glaciers melting in a regular manner. There are a number of countries in the world that depend on melting of snows from mountains for irrigation of their plants and in generating electricity. If the melting occurs in periods of bad times, it would throw out of gear the planting as well as harvesting periods thus endangering the economy of these countries on both local as well as national levels.
Thus, we need to face the problem of global warming head-on if we want to escape the bad effects of global warming and survive for long on the planet.

Positive Actions Against Global Warming

Allan Wilson — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 16:32:09 +0000

Many people and their elected officials are taking positive steps against global warming so the world will be a better place for their children and grandchildren. There is a great deal of information on the effects of global warming, and the experts on the subject have provided positive steps that people can make against global warming. Scientists have studied the progress of global warming, and some of these scientists have come up with information on the problem to keep the public informed. Along with the information on the problem, these experts have also outlined the steps that people can take to work against global warming.
Global warming seems to be a problem, and the facts show that the temperatures are rising every year since the records were first kept sometime in the middle of the nineteenth century. The problem seems to be getting worse every year. Glaciers seem to be melting more rapidly, and the snow seems to be less every year. There also seems to be a rise in the level of the sea. This is particularly frightening because some of the populated land could one day become completely submerged. Many scientists now believe that these changes in the world are the result of human activity.
Many Groups Organize Measures Against Global Warming
Although there is much evidence that global warming is the result of human activity, this evidence is not completely accepted by all of the experts. The evidence does not have to be positive in order to take positive steps against global warming. There are many steps to take against global warming. First of all, people can work to reduce the use of fossil fuels including gasoline in their cars. People can join a carpool so they are not driving alone in their car. There are now fuel efficient cars that conserve on the fuel used to get any distance. More people should try to drive these cars that use less fuel. The companies that manufacture cars should concentrate on making cars that are more fuel efficient.
People can try to use alternative means to heat their water and their homes during the winter. Solar energy is from a renewable source of energy so people should try to use these alternatives if possible. People should try to recycle paper for these efforts could make a significant difference to the environment. People should try to make sure that their public servants in charge of the forests are replacing the trees that are taken from the forest.

The Magnegas™ Revolution ?

Allan Wilson — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 19:53:38 +0000

It’s only a week ago I was searching the net on an unrelated topic of hydrogen fusion that I came across the word Magnegas. It seemed more like a hoax than a real invention when I watched some American videos on the subject. My curiosity for anything new, however, took the better of me so I sat down and began searching the net.

I soon discovered that the inventor, Professor Ruggero Santilli, was no hoaxer, he certainly has the scientific credentials alright, yet I am curious why he’s not more well known in mainstream physics.

Magnegas is the culmination of over 25 years of research and development. What then is this stuff, and why am I excited by it.

‘This alternative fuel is a synthetic natural gas substitute made from recycled liquid waste.‘ Ah.., but it’s not anything to do with fermentation.

The best way to see and understand this material is to first view the videos I found on the subject. In the next post I will be looking at the cost and efficiency of the system and draw my conclusions.
