Global Warming Causes California To “Fall Off”

December 29th, 2007 · No Comments

Today I read on Yahoo that Global Warming will likely change the landscape of California. It will expand the dry areas, and warm old ski resorts.
But what if it makes the ocean rise so much that California becomes submerged? If that happens, the it really will “fall off.”
Maybe all those fears about California [...]

No More Oil Changes

December 28th, 2007 · No Comments

I was thinking about my car and getting the oil changed. I realized that when Big Oil dies, we’ll have to have cars that don’t use oil.
Previously I had acknowledged the fact that we’re slowly moving towards alternate energy sources like hydrogen and electricity. So no more gas. But I hadn’t thought [...]

Atlantis Energy Source Wasn’t Oil

December 25th, 2007 · No Comments

We found oil. We used it to power machines. If super advanced humans really did live in Atlantis, and they used up all the oil, there’d have been none left for us.
Sure, maybe they started out like us, used it up, and then moved on to better technology. Then for some reason [...]

Once We Run Out Of Gas, That’s It

December 24th, 2007 · No Comments

I read a couple places that we’re close to a peak in oil production that will cause permanent blackouts worldwide.
I had hoped that alternative energy technologies could get around this, but some people say you need non-renewable energy sources in order to create renewable energy sources.
Oil energy can make solar panels. Then, can’t they [...]

Lots Of Snow Before Winter Begins

December 22nd, 2007 · No Comments

Could this be a sign of Global Warming?
I’ve heard that the seasons seem to be shifting to an earlier schedule. What if Global Warming doesn’t warm the planet, but instead simply shifts the seasonal rotation back by a month?
Or maybe all our calendars are off? Oh well. At least we’ll have a [...]

Pure Energy From The Sun

December 21st, 2007 · No Comments

I read on Wikipedia a long time ago something about a civilization capable of harnessing all the energy produced by a star. It wasn’t a specific society, it was more about a class of society. There were levels, and above that I believe a civilization would harness the power of an entire galaxy [...]

Christmas Lights: Environmentally Lame?

December 19th, 2007 · No Comments

Today I saw on the news a guy had decked out his house to be essentially covered in Christmas lights. His house was incredibly bright at night. The focus of the story was how the traffic nearby was affected by it, and whether or not that made traffic cops necessary. There was [...]

New Energy Mandate: No Old Light Bulbs

December 18th, 2007 · No Comments

I read in USA Today that the government might soon establish a policy under which stores would be forced to stop selling the old light bulbs in favor of more expensive, energy efficient ones. This would force us all to use them, but help eliminate a sizable chunk of wasted energy.
Sounds like a good [...]

What If Winter Never Ends?

December 17th, 2007 · No Comments

In “The Day After Tomorrow,” Global Warming caused a major climate shift that plunged the earth into a new ice age. Could that happen in real life? Could it happen now?
What if the ocean currents, diluted by melting polar ice caps, have shifted? What if the earth’s thermal conveyor belt system has [...]
