Response to Global Warming 10 Most Insane Solution


In response to global warming, scientists have thought for a number of ways in which to introduce dozens of the most insane solution:


1. the construction of sunglasses for the Earth
Some scientists have proposed the construction of sunglasses for the Earth to combat global warming: a circle placed near the equator of the particles scatter sunlight to reduce solar radiation on the Earth, to offset the heat generated by the greenhouse effect. This crazy idea may take several trillion dollars.

2. putting in a lot of iron in the ocean
Plankton photosynthesis of carbon dioxide in food, with the death of these organisms, carbon dioxide is also sank. Iron to stimulate plankton growth, it was suggested putting in a lot of iron in the sea in order to stimulate the growth of a large number of plankton, which absorb the excess carbon dioxide.

3. extended flight, lower altitude
Isolation in aircraft flight cloud evaporation heat of the earth. Some scientists have suggested lower altitude aircraft, so flying is impossible to form clouds. Lower altitude means the flight distance increased, but scientists believe that the effects of flying clouds reduce the fuel will be offset by the increase in damage.

4. growing algae in the ocean surface
James made use of environmentalists to the ocean depths rich pipeline pumping water to the ocean surface oxidation, a lot of seaweed farming in the air to absorb carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide as the algae die and then sank.

5. planting fake tree
Scientists proposed that 100,000 fake tree planting to absorb carbon dioxide, the fake trees can absorb carbon dioxide through a filter and stored. The fake tree model may be as large as the container, but the absorption of carbon dioxide will be the true ability of trees thousands of times.

6. into the aerosol in the air
Some of the air suspension on the atmospheric aerosol cooling effect, a part of these small molecules can block solar radiation, and reflected into space. Scientists proposed that can simulate volcanic eruptions, a large number of aerosol into the atmosphere to combat global warming.

7. to retain the worm in the kitchen
You can keep a certain number of worms the kitchen, they are a waste of bread crumbs and apple cores for food, and then turning it into fertilizer, fertilizer for the garden or planting indoor plants.

8. the carbon dioxide buried in the ground
Some scientists have suggested that carbon dioxide collected and buried in the underground rock, coal seam gas fields or vacant. First, the carbon dioxide separated, then compressed and injected into the ground. This program is not only the cost of large, and there is also underground gas seepage risk.

9. live in garbage houses built
British scientists are making, such as recycled glass from the garbage, sewage sludge and other building materials made of, so that waste can be used to build houses, and stone and metal than the use of more energy efficient.

10. prohibit the use of plastic bags and light bulbs
In response to the white pollution, the use of recycled or recyclable paper bags green bags. More energy-efficient fluorescent lamps to replace incandescent lamps can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and household electricity.

Urgent Call - Global Warming and Climate Change


All over the world, countries are experiencing climate change and it's effect to the global environment. Some scientists have claimed that if we don't act now, the damage to our ecosystem will be irreparable. The Amazon Forest is a victim of deforestation for several years. Because of this, different species of animals and rare plants are fast diminishing in numbers. Forest fires is also a factor. Let us not forget the ever present air pollution, improper waste management and the continued use of non biodegradable materials. Mankind was taught for several generations about the importance of having a clean environment and taking care of it for the future generations' sake. However, we have to admit that some doesn't bother anymore because of living a busy life, doesn't have the time nor the interest.

Alarming news of tragedy that erupted globally has spurned researchers to give a hint or to come up with a definite resolution to the problem, but alas, it will take billions of hands to work hand in hand to achieve this seemingly impossible feat. Several countries and industries have already taken steps to introduce products that are environment friendly. For household items there are detergent soaps, bags and kitchen appliances that are made to help minimize the harmful pollutants present in the air that causes the "greenhouse effect". Refrigerators are one of the kitchen appliances that was remodeled to be "CFC" free. Chloroflourocarbon is a pollutant mostly present in air conditioners, refrigerators and other cooling appliances implicated in the acceleration of the ozone layer depletion.

There will be change if all people will help. Solar powered cars are invented, a machine that converts dirty or rainwater to be pottable. Two years ago, biodiesel as an alternative fuel was introduced. It garnered a lot of support from the government and several non profit organizations. Proper waste management, recycling and compost are just few of the simple ways we can help Mother Earth to survive. There's the gasifier that converts municipal solid waste, sewer sludge, petroleum and oily wastes, animal manures, biomass, scrap tires and coal into a renewable resource of energy that can provide electric power for homes, equipment, power plants and motor vehicles.

A joint effort will spur the changes and get the balanced ecosystem back. We can help even in out own ways as industries strive to invent machinery that doesn't harm the environment. I hope that future generations have a clean and environment to live in. The Blue Planet.

A Brief Introduction to Climate Change and Global Warming


One aspect of being a green business is being aware how much carbon and other greenhouse gases the business emits into the atmosphere. We have all heard the terms global warming, climate change and greenhouse gas but as they are often used interchangeably, it can be difficult to understand exactly what these terms mean. However understanding these terms is important before taking action to reduce emissions from the business. Here is a brief guide to the most common terms:

Global Warming: The phrase global warming refers to an overall warming of the planet based on the average temperature over the entire surface. Global warming has both natural and manmade causes with the main manmade cause being increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases spread around the earth forming a cover trapping solar energy that would normally be radiated into space resulting in increased temperatures.

Climate Change: Although the expressions climate change and global warming are used interchangeably, they do mean different things. The term climate change refers to long term regional changes in climate including temperature, humidity, wind, rainfall and severe weather events. Like global warming, climate change has both natural and manmade causes with the manmade causes of climate change being credited to increased levels of greenhouse gases. Natural causes of climate change include the continental drift, volcanoes and ocean currents.

Greenhouse Gases: These gases are what prevent solar radiation from being discharged to space and are the main cause of both climate change and global warming. Some greenhouse gases such as chlorofluorocarbons are synthetic while others such as carbon and water vapour occur naturally in the environment. While some greenhouse gases occur naturally, human beings have altered the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere through their activities such as burning coal, oil, natural gas and wood.

Air Pollution: Air pollution is a related problem and many of the pollutants responsible for poor air quality and smog are also greenhouse gases contributing to global warming. Discussions about air pollution usually focus on visibility and air quality but reducing emissions that cause air pollution will also reduce greenhouse gas levels.

Ozone Depletion: Ozone depletion is a different but related problem to climate change and global warming. The ozone layer is a gaseous layer in the upper atmosphere that absorbs ultra violet radiation. A reduction in the ozone layer causes more ultra violet radiation to reach earth which can affect crop growth and cause health problems such as skin cancer. Closer to the earth ozone is a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming.








The good news is the problem of ozone depletion is understood and measures have been taken to protect the ozone layer. Climate change however is still a serious environmental concern and further action is needed to address it. Having a basic understanding of these terms is the first step in deciding the role your green business has in addressing these issues.

The Debate Rages On Between Global Warming Alarmists and Climate Change Research


There is a huge debate as to weather the warming of the planet which is rather insignificant considering the geological record is the cause of human activity. That is to say pollution, urban heat and emissions of green house gases. The Global Warming folks say man is mostly to blame for any changes. And the Climate Change researchers say, mankind's activities are a drop in the bucket of the over minor changes we see.

Rather than debate this chaos and controversy consider this. We are all in this together and perhaps we should use the Global Warming Alarmists to our advantage to build redundancies in the flows of our civilization. I tend to agree we need to protect our civilization from changes, which might catch us off guard; Water supplies, extreme weather, etc.

That makes sense, so rather than beating my head against the Global Warming Alarmists Walls, I would rather use them to serve my will to beef up our civilizations flows to withstand and/or adapt to, without disruption any sudden change, whether from a man-made caused war or Mother Nature.

Meanwhile I watch China's deserts over take some cities and think well, there is another challenge facing mankind's civilizations, thus there is plenty to think on to and lots of challenges to fix. The way I see it more CO2 is good for forests, which then produce oxygen. Holes in the Ozone can be good too. All the things we think we are doing to help climate change may be doing nothing but driving companies off shore to less over regulated lands.

Economically speaking the whole thing is causing quite a bit of changes in mankind's monetary flows and is not necessarily helping strengthen or help the people of various lands. There are so many inter-related issues to this issue.

Urban heat is one thing mankind is doing by planting concrete everywhere, but those changes in weather flows are generally regional and dissipate. However in the "Butterfly Affect" scenarios, we know everything is connected of course. So, there may be more to that, but somewhat insignificant over all considering the Peruvian Volcano this week put out more debris in the atmosphere than 4-months of USA pollution in one day. Consider all this in 2006.

Climate Change and Bangladesh - Victim of Global Warming Or Victim of Global Politics?


People may say a lot of things but to me the main disadvantage of being one of the members of a LDS (Least Developed Nation) is that no one really cares about whether we exist or not. I never would have said something like this if it were not for the results of the last conference on climate change. I am talking about the COP (Conference of Parties) 15 that happened in Copenhagen last year. Something similar to the following was supposed to happen: 1) The developed countries would take responsibilities for their actions and compensate for that accordingly, 2) The Most Vulnerable Countries (MVC) would get enough financial and technical support to enhance and develop their adaptation processes, 3) A legally binding accord would be created which would limit the carbon emission amount for the developed countries and the G77+China group, 4) The accord would also ensure that the MVCs would get continuous support in the future to battle the climate change impacts. Unfortunately we all know what happened, very disappointing indeed but that is the current reality.

It is the month of March and already we feel the heat burning our skins. I live in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. That day I had to go to Jahangirnagar University from Uttara on a chore, and after all of a sudden I realized that something does not feel right; the scorching sun was behaving in somewhat of an unusual way. I told myself that this was not supposed to be like this, at least not at this time of the year. The heat was unusual and already intolerable. Is it because of Global Warming? Should be! Then I wondered how it would feel during the summer time, a very scary thought indeed!

I believe many international negotiations are going on in many different parts of the world. Speculations have been done about how much monetary support a country like Bangladesh should be getting. I agree to the fact that funding is necessary for Bangladesh to tackle the adverse climate change effects; necessary embankment building, infrastructure development, and a lot of researches need to be done. It is being forecasted that a 1m sea level rise will inundate one third of the land in Bangladesh, the entire Sundarban will be under water, imagine that! So, I understand the necessity of the funds that the developed countries should provide for us.

What I don't understand is that when we get the funds do we, as a country keep our mouths shut and let those who pollute, pollute some more?! Shouldn't we be raising our voice against those who are causing this dreadful climate change! Apparently Bangladesh is the Ground Zero for Global Warming induced calamity. So as a victim, Bangladesh should show objection against the developed countries and urge them to reduce their carbon emission by a significant amount. People have doubts about the time predictions, but everyone is agreeing to the fact that climate change has already started and is happening. Therefore, if nothing is done immediately to mitigate the situation then countries like Bangladesh will have no future regardless of the funds it gets.

Bangladesh faces a lot of frightening consequences because of global climate change. Among the most startling are agricultural devastation, deterioration of health and increasing number of deadly diseases, millions of climate refugees, economic downfall, and even national security issues. Imagine a situation where millions of people after losing everything they owned, moving towards the cities for a better life. Majority of these people would be either farmers or fishermen; skills which are useless in urban settings. Consequently they would be getting involved in either begging or they would be taking a more drastic measure and start mugging. Let's say, 1% of those millions of helpless people decide to commit crimes; imagine the effects! That is a scary thought indeed and we should be ready for something like it if we do not act now. Bangladesh requires a lot of funds to prepare as much as possible to face the consequences of global warming. But it also has to raise its voice against those who are actually responsible for this completely unwanted dreadful situation. The developed countries must agree to a legally binding agreement to reduce its carbon emission, and they must do so within a very short time.

"With great powers come great responsibilities" - which is very true, and the industrialized nations should realize it themselves instead of simply making movies about it. No matter how much prepared a country like ours is, climate change will eventually take its toll if the developed nations do not do something immediately; they need to reduce carbon emission and they need to do it quickly. Bangladesh definitely requires the immense funding to prepare itself for which it has absolutely no fault whatsoever; but it also needs to urge the governments of the developed countries to do what is right and reduce the pollution.

Climate Changing in China Not Likely - Global Warming Can Take a Hike


Interestingly enough China stated that it would not allow Global Warming to get in the way of its nation's growth and basically told the rest of the World to deal with their own issues. Indeed, if you will recall the Clintons and Al Gore have stated that the US is to blame and developing nations should be allowed different rules? So, who is really concerned about Global Warming or is this whole thing turning into a giant hot potato football game?

If China, one of the largest polluters whose pollution blows all the way to the United States is not going to stop polluting CO2 then there is no way that the rest of the World can cut down when China is increasing pollution at such a rapid rate. Of course they did promise to take into consideration all the pollution in its future plans as it expands? Well, lip service is an interesting way to dodge political issues.

Indeed China does not wish to allow pollution issues to affect its toothpaste products or its "protein ingredients" to the food it sells us either? You know, if we are going to talk about Global Warming the meetings should be in China, not in France, where China will have to pony up and give a song and dance. So it seems that that the political Climate Changing in China is a lot less than likely. And China wants Global Warming activist to take a hike, just do not do it on the Great Wall, they will comply when they are ready and not a day sooner.

Climate Change and Global Warming Versus Global Cooling

There is some global warming from vast amounts of anthropogenic or man made pollution. The industrial age brought about a lot of negative changes in the environment that are indisputable. Hot gasses entering the atmosphere for over a 100 years has caused a limited amount of climate change. Global cooling is a thorn in the side of thosewho want to pass Cap and Trade legislation.

Sounds like I am totally in the global warming camp. Not so! People look at one side and do not give any credence to the other side of the debate. The Farmers Almanac has been predicting weather for a long time and they look at solar patterns, including sunspot activity as some of its major sources for their predicting model. Also, scientists from around the world are dissenting from the global warming side. Why? At least in part because there is convincing proof we are entering into a global cooling period. This global cooling period could last for ten years.

One of the strongest arguments given by climate change proponents is that ice cap melting and shrinking icebergs is solely the result of CO2 or other pollutants. If this were the only way ice melts than how come we are still not in the Ice Age? Natural cyclical weather changes is the answer. This proves that when we hear of icebergs melting or polar bears floating on ice it is not necessarily global warming that caused it. When the Ice Age ended the ice melted, therefore polar bears or other animals died in the process? Polar bear numbers are increasing in some parts of the world now and icebergs growing. Other areas there decreasing. This is how the cycles of weather have performed for centuries.

Is it possible global climate change could make icebergs melt faster? Yes, it is possible but why think icebergs never melted until now? This in a sense is what you are saying when cyclical weather changes are not considered when icebergs melt. Global warming is blamed for almost everything without taking other facts into account. Cyclical weather changes is an indisputable fact while global warming needs much more study.

So what should we do about global warming and climate change when there are so many differing opinions? Do not over react by destroying jobs but make sensible concessions. And get much more data. Remember we are entering a global cooling period now according to many prestigious scientists.

Climate Change - Side Effect of Global Warming


What is Climate Change? Climate change refers to change in the climate and atmospheric conditions of a particular region or area. This change in climate can be because of uncontrollable changes in or around earth or can be caused by human activities. With recent rise in the temperature of earth's surface due to global warming, it is correct to state that one of the byproducts of Warming is Climate Change.

There is no denial to the fact that the climate of earth all across is changing every day. This is the consequence of continuous warming up of earth and atmosphere around it. The main reason is excess of carbon dioxide and gases like methane and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere. These gases are called greenhouse gases and are the reason for rising green house effect on earth. These gases have the capability to trap the heat and not allow heat to go outside the earth's atmosphere. Hence, they result in more warming.

Global Warming is increasing day by day because of lot of natural and manmade circumstances. With so much of pollution and deforestation all across the globe, It is rapidly increasing. With more and more release of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere around earth, the temperature is also rising. Is it alarming? Well, the answer is yes.

Let us face it that climate change can be life threatening if earth is not able to adjust to it. Due to deforestation, a lot of species of plants, birds and animals are becoming extinct. Due to water pollution, a lot of water species are vanishing. With so much of imbalance in natural activities around, it is impossible to avoid climate change. Plants and trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; make the air pure for us to breathe. However, we are only cutting them down. We should also grow trees and plants to ensure that the damage done by cutting down the trees is taken care of.

Glaciers are melting due to It and its effect of climate change. With global warming glaciers, lot of places all across the world can get merged under water. We cannot deny the fact that with melting glaciers, the sea levels will also rise. Natural calamities are hints which are given to mankind to beware them of the worst. Are we ready to face this? Well, we are still wondering how to control Global Warming. Global climate change is a threat to all. Countries are trying to invent ways to control it so that we can be healthy and alive in future.

If statistics are to be believed, then the temperature across globe is on rise. 1990s is recorded as the decade for rise in temperature. It is recorded as the warmest decade in almost thousand years. With raise in temperature degrees, extinct animals, plants and trees, melting glaciers, heat waves, it is becoming more and more important to start the fight with aggression against Global Warming.
