| | | How Does Global Warming Affect Arctic Whales? | | 2008-06-20 07:01:28 | | Global warming affects negatively the environment and everything in it. There are more than just humans that are affected by it. In fact, such a negative process has been hasted by the human race through pollution. While the Earth is trying its best to cool out its environment by using its natural resources such as volcanic eruptions, it cannot seem to be able to be as effective as needed.Several species are affected negatively by global warming, especially at the Poles. In fact, as these regions are the most vulnerable ones, the living beings inhabiting these areas are fighting for their own survival. Arctic whales such as Bowheads, Belugas and Narwhals are also suffering from global warming. How does global warming affect Arctic whales?Global warming is a process affecting the temperature of the atmosphere, which provides negative effects on the environment, its fauna, its flora as well as climates.

| Global Warming Is Dead: An Inconvenient Opera? | | 2008-06-10 11:22:00 | | In the film industry, an actor or actress is usually considered "finished" when the best parts they can get are television commercials. In opera however, the saying is that "it's not over until the fat lady sings!" And it seems, that the fat lady of Global Warming will soon be signing. Literally.Most people will think this a joke at first. And believe me, I only wish it was. But coming in 2011, will be an opera based on Al 'the Goracle' Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. As thus far, famed Italian composer Giorgio Battistelli has been commissioned to produce this genocidal fiasco that will premier in Milan.La Scala officials appear to have completely lost their marbles.We've gone from a hokey slide-show, to mock-umentary, to books and world tours on private jets. And now these upper class-ites, want to create an actual opera on the subject. This must truly signal the end of global warming. (One can only hope.)

| | Fighting Climate Change and Global Warming | | 2008-06-08 09:56:42 | | Climate change is really changing, and global warming is getting hotter and hotter everyday. Why is this so?We hear suggestions from environmentalists that everyone should help in fighting environmental abuse. But it seems nobody is doing his/her share, and the efforts of a few are in vain. It is not enough - of course. The situation is getting worse. There's much environmental abuse, people are throwing their garbage when no one is watching. The factories and manufacturing plants are producing and making more and more new products to sell, there are more than enough in their stocks and inventories. And consumers are throwing their not-so-old appliances to give in to new ones.The ordinary American consumer buys more than he/she needs at home. It's just the way it is for an ordinary American, a culture of owning more than what he needs. Meanwhile, the rest of the world are in dire need, and are content with second-hand or third hand appliances and equipment.

This is maxim suppose to applied in a situation where an individual should no longer do it again because of the burden that had caused him/her.Today, this maxim is also applicable to what is happening around the globe most especially on the Global Climate Change scenario. The earth, even before is already experiencing climate change. It so happen that in the beginning the effects of the change to the human race were tolerable and so there was no concrete evidence for everybody to be alarmed.We can compare the situation in the case when we encountered bad feeling due to stress maybe, that we only need to take a rest and it's gone. The tolerance of the body and mind reacted as if there's no need to worry about. Until we experience this unfamiliar feelings in a regular basis that it seems the body could no longer tolerate the pain, we go to the doctor for further clarifications.This is the same with global warming or | | By: Global Warming Articles - Information on Global Wa | | |

| | We Can All Help Alleviate Global Warming! | | 2008-05-20 07:15:50 | | If you thought that global warming had reached a stage beyond repair, you are probably right. However, that doesn't mean you cannot do your own bit to save the environment! Here are some simple, practical ways to get more eco-friendly:Avoid plastics: Plastics cannot be easily degraded and this affects the environment adversely. Hence when shopping at your nearest departmental store try and use paper bags or cloth ones. You could even make your own cloth bag to take to the store!Reuse and recycle: Have some old clothes you don't wear any longer? Maybe you're thinking of dumping them in the dustbin. Stop being so wasteful! Get frugal and try recycling them into some cool clothing. For example an old frumpy t-shirt can be made into an off-shoulder top or old jeans can be cut into cute shorts!Turn off the lights: When you leave a room, make sure to turn off the lights. Even a few minutes left unattended can consume huge amounts of electricity when considered on a long term perspective. So | | By: Global Warming Articles - Information on Global Wa | | |

Nearly every other day, news headlines are flooded with the topic of global warming, although most of us are probably ignorant about the consequences that global warming can actually cause to living beings. The latest research on global warming says that while global warming is expected to be strongest at the poles, it may be an even greater threat to species living in the tropics. Tropical species are accustomed to living in a small temperature range and thus may be unable to cope with changes of even a few degrees, according to an analysis in the last week’s edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The research was led by Tewksbury, an assistant professor of biology at the University of Washington and Curtis A. Deutsch, an assistant professor of at | | By: WHY CORNER | | |

There are greatly popular radio and TV broadcasters who lace their skepticism with sarcastic ridicule for proponents claiming Earth is warming. Other politicians and media pundits voice looming of doom and gloom for man unless he stops driving SUV's, burning fossil fuels, etc. Each side quotes prestigious scientific studies supporting their claims.During recent Summer months, many ordinary Joes and Janes would tend to agree with the "HOT side."

| | Carbon Dioxide Not The Cause Of Global Warming? | | 2008-05-09 06:46:01 | | A lot of people have watched the Inconvenient truth by "ex next president" Al Gore. There certainly are some facts and photos that make you think, but is global warming really happening the way that Gore describes it ? There have been many theories against the usual theory that is leaning on the green house. The theories talk about solar activity and that carbon dioxide is actually rising and falling due to temperatures happening 800 years before. The product that came out of counter theories is The Great Global Warming Swindle a movie that is worth watching, just to see what people that don't agree with Al Gore think about the movie.One of the contradictions that is being made in movie is that the usual global warming theory predicts higher increasing of the temperature in the troposphere than on the ground, but the researches (satellite and weather balloon ) have shown that this claim is wrong.

It is determined not by individual weather events, such as heat waves or cold snaps or hurricanes, but by the global mean surface temperature. It is already increasing the intensity of hurricanes in the North Atlantic, increasing the risk of devastating impacts when a storm hits.Global warming is also leading to more dramatic swings in the weather in some areas. It is already affecting the world we know, endangering polar bears, shortening ski seasons and creating more intense storms. Global warming is a huge risk, it is an increase in the average temperature of the earth's surface.Global warming is bad news for human life, including changes in agricultural yields, melting of glaciers and the extinction of certain species for ever.Global warming is an increase of average world temperatures as a result of what is known as the greenhouse effect.

With 15.59 inches of rain - including snowfall and hail - it set the record for wettest month, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Climatic Data Center. It was the most rain the Emerald City had ever seen in a one-month span, in 115 years of record keeping.If that weren't enough, mid-December brought supercharged winds of 60 to 90 mph that cut power to about 1 million people, some of whom lived in the dark for prolonged periods."It wasn't just for a couple of hours, a couple of days," said Eric Holdeman, former director of the King County, Wash., Office of Emergency Management.

| | Climate Change - Climate Changes Due To Global Warming | | 2008-04-23 08:20:21 | | Earth's climate has always been in a state of constant change. It is part of a normal cycle of planetary events. Yet, most scientists agree that drastic changes are occurring which are due to unnatural global warming.The climate of the United States has already become warmer. In some locations, the average rise in temperature is four degrees Fahrenheit. Every single state shows some degree of warming.The first and second warmest years on record were 1998 and 2006, respectively. The years 1999 through 2005 ranked within the warmest 25 years in US history. In 2006, the annual average temperature was 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Recent warm years point to a climate change being brought on by global warming.Global warming has increased the level of drought. This is caused by the heat that is building up around the earth's surface. Excessive evaporation intensifies drought during the spring and fall. A major drought in the US lasted from 1999-2002.

| | What can we do to curb GLOBAL WARMING? | | 2008-04-22 13:15:38 | | Can We Stop Global Warming? Though scientists warn that global warming will likely continue for centuries because of the long natural processes involved, there are a few things we can do to decrease the effects. Basically, they all boil down to this: Don't use as much of the stuff that creates greenhouse gases. On a local level, you can help by using less energy. The electricity that operates many of the devices in our homes comes from a power plant, and most power plants burn fossil fuels to generate that power. Turn off lights when they're not in use. Take shorter showers to use less hot water. Use a fan instead of an air conditioner on a warm day.Hydrogen-powered cars, the increased use of solar cells, and hydro-electric power plants are possible ways to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases.Here are some other specific ways you can help decrease greenhouse-gas emissions: Make sure your car is properly tuned up.

| | Biofuels - Achilles Heel of Global Warming | | 2008-04-22 11:48:14 | | As the myth around global warming begins to unravel and Operation Desperation sets in, it's important for the public to know why biofuels aren't the answer to solving global warming. For those that don't know, biofuels are alternative energy sources derived from living matter, as opposed to fossil fuels, such as oil, which are derived from nonliving matter. The most common biofuel is a blend of gasoline called E85, which means it's 15% gasoline and 85% ethanol. However, the gasoline and ethanol content changes depending on the season. During cold weather, more gasoline needs to be added to the mixture to ensure the fuel works properly, so E85 is at least 70% ethanol.If biofuels are going to reduce our dependency on foreign oil, what's the big deal? Ethanol, without consideration of other factors, could cut our dependency on foreign oil. However, ethanol as a fuel still requires gasoline to function properly. As stated in the previous paragraph, cold weather is especially trying for eth | | By: Global Warming Articles - Information on Global Wa | | |

Scientists say we need to turn the corner on global warming within 10 years to prevent very dangerous impacts from becoming inevitable. Each year that passes without tackling global warming head-on makes the problem more difficult and expensive to solve.But at the same time, global warming has finally gotten our attention -- Americans are increasingly aware that a warming climate is a real threat to our way of life, and that we have a choice about how bad it will get.The choice lies here: $16 trillion dollars will be invested in energy development over the next two decades. Will it be poured into polluting, obsolescent technologies that will bring on the worst of global warming? Or will these investments be shifted into to advanced, low-polluting technologies that will create the new energy economy that's needed to shut down global warming?It's up to all of us to increase the heat on | | By: daruñans home | | |
| | The Christian and Global Warming | | 2008-04-20 12:28:26 | | Let me say the political piece first: Yes, things may be heating up on the planet, though not all of the evidence points that way.No, we can't prove how or why they're heating up, if indeed they are.Yes, there has always been alternate warming and cooling of Earth. In the 70's the same political machine was predicting an ice age, and was all upset with folks who did not get on THAT bandwagon.So where does that leave us? In the Book of Revelation, where else? Revelation 16:8ffIn that passage, judgments are being poured out on the earth, though not the final judgment that will occur when Jesus returns with His own, snatched up from the winds of Heaven. These are the infamous "bowl" judgments, a series of natural disasters that will leave the planet reeling.The fourth "bowl" involves the sun.

Experts estimate that global warming may increase surface temperatures by as much as 6.4 ºC (11.5 ºF) if CO2 levels continue to rise as it does now. This rise in temperature may give rise to any number of situations in the future, all of which will probably have a bad effect on humans and other life forms: greater incidence of Katrina-like storms and extreme weather, extinction of plant and animal species unable to tolerate the heat, rising sea levels that can drown coastal cities, and others. So, to counter the disastrous effects of global warming, scientists like Crutzen propose very drastic solutions.So wha | | By: Global Warming Articles - Information on Global Wa | | |

Punto. (as they say in Italian: Full stop!).Last year, "Warming of the climate system is unequivocal," concluded a report by 600 scientists from governments, academia, green groups and businesses in 40 countries. Worse, there was now at least a 90 percent likelihood that the release of greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels is causing longer droughts, more flood-causing downpours and worse heat waves, way up from earlier studies.For the first time, "Global Warming" was no longer the "Inconvenient Truth".

Climatic changes impact human habitats as much as animal habitats. Human health is very sensitive to these changes.Global warming has caused rising temperatures in the environment. Devastating heat waves have recently occurred in areas of the world unaccustomed to extreme heat. Heat waves in Europe in 2003 lasted as long as two weeks, and temperatures soared as high as 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Although temperatures like this are common in parts of the American Southwest, European summers are usually much cooler. Over 35,000 people died there as a result of the heat waves that year. They were ill-equipped to deal with their changing habitat.There have also been heat waves in North America. One in 2006 claimed 226 lives.

| | Global Warming - The Significance of Rising Water Temperatures And Climate Change | | 2008-04-13 14:18:11 | | An alarm is being raised about global warming causing dramatic rises in the temperature of ocean waters. Scientists are studying warming waters all over the globe to determine the extent of this rise in temperatures.The consequences of global warming are far-reaching. One of the most devastating effects of global warming is an impact on tropical storms. Hurricanes that would have been category 3 storms in years past are now category 4 or above because they are energized when they pick up warmer-than-normal ocean water. There has been a significant increase in these higher intensity storms over the last 35 years. In 2005, the Atlantic was bombarded with 27 tropical storms powerful enough to receive a name, and fifteen of them developed into hurricanes. Five of these storms were classified as category 4 hurricanes and four reached the level of category 5. Hurricane Katrina made a terrible mark on history in August of 2005.

The motivation for this would vary among viewers – for some it was the idea that they had just laid out their hard-earned entertainment dollar for the kind of thing that should have been on PBS, for others the combination of the dulcet tones of the former vice-president with all those bloody graphs and maps, and for others the impending doom that it preached was right on our doorstep. Regardless, it was nice to knock back a few cold ones when that one was over, blast the air-con, and content oneself with the knowledge that the globe was not that warm yet (this something that Canadians who suffered through one hell of a winter this year would also attest to).The causes of global warming are debatable –scientists, maybe hoping for an honorable mention the next time the Nobels are handed out, have weighed in on this one by suggesting that it is caused by everything from the Olympic Torch | | By: The Shark Guys | | |

| | Forestry and Global Warming - How Can Our Forests Effect Climate Change | | 2008-04-03 09:13:40 | | The amount of land dedicated to forests, particularly old growth forests, could significantly reduce global warming. Forests are an important use of land in most countries, and in modern times they take on a new, environmental significance. Plant life scrubs carbon dioxide from the air. Carbon dioxide is a main cause of global warming and can be eliminated just by being in the vicinity of certain plants.Trees are the best carbon dioxide scrubbers found in nature. Old growth trees are especially good at removing carbon dioxide from the air and storing it within their cells. For this reason, old growth trees need to be preserved. The lumber trade argues that the old growth trees can be easily replaced by new trees, but this is simply not the case. New trees do not possess the abilities that old trees have of preventing global warming by trapping carbon dioxide. Some proponents of cutting suggest that certain new trees are capable of trapping more greenhouse gases than the old trees. This | | By: Global Warming Articles - Information on Global Wa | | |

| | Climate Change - Building Green to Reduce Global Warming | | 2008-04-02 08:17:01 | | Building green, the practice of designing and constructing buildings in an eco-friendly way, is one way to combat global warming. Houses contribute to global warming by emitting carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. In the United States, houses are responsible for 38% of the country's total carbon dioxide emissions.Building green starts with the materials that are used. Renewable and local materials are both good choices. Bamboo and straw are two examples of building materials that are easily renewable. Using materials that originate near the building site, such as stone or logs found on or near the building site, cuts down on transportation, another source of carbon dioxide emissions. Recycled materials represent another green building practice. Wood can be used from an older home that has been torn down, preventing further deforestation and the use of energy required to process trees into lumber.Minimizing the energy use needed to sustain a comfortable indoor temperature helps lessen the | | By: Global Warming Articles - Information on Global Wa | | |

| | How Global Warming Could Cause An Ice Age | | 2008-03-30 11:45:18 | | An Ice Age brought on by global warming was the scenario depicted in the movie THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW. While the science on which the movie based has been called into question, there may be some merit in the theory that global warming could cause an Ice Age.Why is Europe's climate comparitively milder than other places at the same latitude? Alaska and Greenland, both the same distance to the North Pole as Europe, are covered with ice and permafrost while most of Europe is not.The ocean currents called the Gulf Stream bring warm waters up to Europe from the Caribbean. This water brings warmth to the countries in its path. Cooler water from Europe feeds back into the loop and causes the water to flow back to the Caribbean in a continuous cycle.The Gulf Stream has been significantly weakened in every major cooling event, including the last great Ice Age. In the past this weakening has been brought on by natural events.

| | The Truth About Termites and Pest Control - My Home and Global Warming | | 2008-03-28 08:27:26 | | Many scientists argue over the issue of Global Warming, some say the climate change is caused by man's pollution, mainly CO2. Others completely disagree stating that the Planet cools and heats in cycles that have been going on for 5 Billion years and it is absurd for humankind to think they have a major roll in causing it or in trying to prevent it. Whether you side with the media and the Global Warming Alarmists is immaterial to the fact that pollution is problematic. But did you know that your home could be giving off much more greenhouse gasses than you realize?It's true, in fact termites cause greenhouse gasses as they eat away at your house, indeed they are one of the largest contributors. Hard to believe isn't it, that is to say it's hard to believe something so small as a termite could cause such a huge problem, but that is how the percentages and statistics stack up.

| | | Climate Change - Forecasting the Future of Global Warming | | 2008-03-23 23:14:37 | | Most people agree that the long-term effects of global warming will be disastrous for the planet and its inhabitants. But predicting the exact future impact it will have is a very complex task. Those who make predictions about its long-term effects are not likely to do so with one hundred percent accuracy.Some of the difficulties inherent in forecasting future effects of global warming have to do with those same factors that make it hard for meteorologists to predict the weather correctly on a day-to-day basis. Winds can cool the air or warm it depending on the direction they take. Cloud cover can cool a hot day. Air masses move and cause storms as cool fronts and warm fronts collide. Ocean currents can change the temperature of the land on which they strike. The earth's atmosphere is constantly in a cycle of evaporation and precipitation. As ice melts in the Polar Regions due to global warming, the ocean temperatures are affected. Evaporation rates are in flux.

| | Was Maximum Bob right? Is global warming a crock? Sure looks like it around here! | | 2008-03-22 18:26:01 | | So, was Bob Lutz right, or was it just bad luck? Just as I picked up a new Mazda MX-5 to drive for a few days following the Vernal Equinox, it has started to snow (and snow, and snow). We've actually had more snow this winter than I can recall in quite a few years. Getting 4-5 more inches of the stuff the day after the official start of Spring doesn't help the argument. However, regardless of what might be happening around here on any given day, (and getting snow on Easter is not at all unusual in Michigan) the preponderance of the evidence still seems to point to the fact that something is definitely happening to our planet. Earth itself will ultimately survive - as it has before - following numerous mass extinctions. The planet is not in peril. Humans and the plant and animal species that we depend on for survival, on the other hand, are. The planet will go on and new species will crop up for several billion more years after we're long gone until the sun decides to pack it in.

| | Global Warming - Truth or Hoax? | | 2008-03-19 09:43:12 | | We've been hearing the warnings of global warming problems for quite some time now. The push is on to promote green living to help save the environment and stop some of the effects of global warming.Are those threats real or is this just hype to further political awareness? Global warming refers to the temperature of the earth near surface air. It allows the earth to be habitable, as it absorbs some of the heat from the sun.Greenhouse gases that have been released into the earth's atmosphere are contributing to the rise in the surface air temperature. What impact is this having on earth right now? Scientists show that the average temperature has risen in the last century.It's believed that most of that increase has come in the last couple of decades. With the increase steadily rising, scientists believe that it will continue to rise at an even faster pace for the future.Arctic ice is slowly disappearing over time.

| | How to Challenge Global Warming | | 2008-03-18 09:10:24 | | It is almost unavoidable to live in this era and not hear anything about global warming. On the other hand, there are still a lot of people who have not got a clue about what global warming is and what steps they can take to prevent it.What comes to everybody's mind is: Why is global warming happening? Human beings have been increasing the use of fossil fuels in order to heat their homes, run their cars and also their factories. The burning of fossil fuels leads to the creation of gases and chemicals, called greenhouse gases, which are collected in the atmosphere like a thickening blanket. They stay in earth's atmosphere for many years. This massive air pollution which really is like a thickening blanket traps the heat of the sun and causes the planet to warm up. There exist some specific gases which are used in refrigerators and spray cans that can add to the collection of the gases already mentioned.Another thing people have done over years is cutting down trees in rain forests.

Thus in the west it was that as people migrated to the north from Egypt they found winter storms could happen in Athens or Rome. And thus developed the need for storage for the times when science says if the average temperature falls below 40 F crops will not grow.And after the times of Alexander the Great, the creation of his majestic port at the mouth of the life giving Nile made possible increasing crops in ever fertile Egypt to soon become the bread basket for Athens and then Rome.

| | | Global Warming - Fact Or Fiction? | | 2008-03-14 13:30:26 | | Some people who have studied global issues would say there was no such thing as global warming and it is all a big hoax. However, others disagree and believe that since the industrial revolution, we are having a negative affect on our environment.The best place to start is to look at what we have already been led to believe.The Greenhouse effect is the relationship between the earth and the sun. The sun provides the earth with the heat and energy it needs and the earth releases back that energy into space.The greenhouse effect comes into play as the gases in the earth trap that energy so that it cannot be released back into space therefore, warming the earths environment.The greenhouse effect is a natural process and vital to our survival, without it, the earth would be too cold to live in.Gases such as Methane, Carbon dioxide and water vapour all trap energy from the sun and enable the warming of the earth.It is commonly known that plants provide Carbon dioxide, but not so commonly kn | | By: Global Warming Articles - Information on Global Wa | | |

| | A-Z Of Global Warming - Biofuels | | 2008-03-10 08:45:55 | | This second article from The A-Z of Global Warming deals with biofuels, which will undoubtedly be a phrase that will be heard a lot more often over the coming years, but what are they?, where do they come from?, and what is their significance in relation to global warming?Biofuels can be described as any fuel that is derived from biomass ie living organisms or their metabolic by-products. For example, crops such as corn and dung from living animalsAlthough there is still somewhat of a scientific debate going on over the advantages of biofuels, it is thought that the main advantage over fossil fuels (coal,oil and gas), is that the burning of biofuels to release energy does not cause a net increase of CO2 levels in the atmosphere. This is because the source of the biofuel, crops for example, have already taken a corresponding amount of CO2 out from the atmosphere during their growth cycle when they photosynthesise. When this occurs, plants/crops release oxygen and retain the carbon to us | | By: Global Warming Articles - Information on Global Wa | | |

Sure, the average price is around $3.04, which is much higher than what most folks are used to. But we really don’t realize how lucky we are; Europe and Asia have it off much worse.For example:• Turkey: $10.03 per gallon• Norway: $9.6 per gallon• United Kingdom: $7.72 per gallon• Germany: $7.63 per gallon• Italy: $7.30 per gallon• Switzerland: $6.24 per gallon(source)The list goes on. The U.S. meanwhile, as mentioned, gets gas for around $3.04 a gallon. In China it’s twice as cheap: $1.51 (source).There’s a pattern of sorts here: where the gas prices are higher, more is being done to combat global warming; where the gas prices are lower, little is being done to fight global warming.And it makes sense too; it’s basic economics.I even have a fancy name for this affect: the ‘Simmons effect’.
