Gobal Warming Induced Heat Waves Are More Deadly Than A Killer Virus
A record heat wave scorched Europe in August 2003, claiming an estimated 65,000 lives. In France alone, 17,622 people died from the searing temperatures, more than 19 times the death toll from the SARS epidemic worldwide. In the worst heat spell in decades, temperatures in France soared to 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) and […]
Will Energy-Saving Lightbulbs Help Fight Global Warming
The European Union is imposing a ban on conventional light bulbs, replacing them with energy-saving bulbs. That ban would fully be in effect within two years, forcing all 490 million citizens of the EU’s member states to switch from the current conventional lights they now have.
However, some problems of this plan have been raised […]
The Vilification Of Climate Change Sceptics
An article in the Washington Times recently discussed how skeptics of global warming are ‘treated like a pariah’. The article begins, ‘Scientists skeptical of climate-change theories say they are increasingly coming under attack - treatment that may make other analysts less likely to present contrarian views about global warming.’ The article cites an example of […]
A Critical Look At Al Gore’s Documentary
For those who saw Al Gore’s documentary, it was very convincing of its hypothesis that global warming is a man-made phenomenon that has the potential to kill us all and end humanity. After all, the film was filled with graphs and charts, so it must be true. Let’s just get something straight here, Al Gore […]
Is The Sun Causing Global Warming?
Recently, a documentary aired on the UK’s Channel 4, entitled ‘The Great Global Warming Swindle’, which challenged the prevailing political understanding that global warming is caused by man-made activity.
The movie argues that it is in fact the sun that is responsible for the current changes in the Earth’s temperature and the film is riddled […]
Ethanol As An Alternative Fuel Source
With gas prices continuing to stay high, many people are looking at other fuel options, such as, for example, diesel fuel. Ethanol is another alternative fuel option that can also save you some money at the pump.
Ethanol, grain alcohol made mostly from corn in the U.S., has seen a resurgence in interest lately, including new […]
A Moral Obligation to Offset Your CO2 Emissions?
The carbon offset industry is new and unproven, and there are some bad examples like planting trees in silly places where they will just die. But we shouldn’t let those growing pains distract us from the crucial point: If you take flights, or drive, or you have a big house, you’ve put some major emissions […]
Christopher Monkton on Global Warming: A Convenient Truth
Global warming is going to wreak havoc with the world economy. That is the latest prediction based on the idea that our use of fossil fuels and our production and release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is responsible for an increase-to-come in temperatures.
We’ve got to act now, we are being told. There is […]
Global Warming Could Result In New York Flooding
Global warming - a gradual increase in planet-wide temperatures - is now well documented and accepted by scientists as fact. Recent research carried out by climate scientist at the University of Delhi voiced a “high level of confidence” that Earth is the hottest it has been in at least 100 years, and that it is […]
