Hotter highs, colder lows. I wonder if all the major weather events of the past 50 years were partly the fault of Global Warming?
I’ve heard that GW isn’t just responsible for increasing temperatures, but also will cause more storms of all types.
Maybe we’ve engineered our own snowstorms? Either way, it’s time to hunker [...]

If We’re Wrong, Let’s Be The Good Wrong
December 15th, 2007 · No Comments
I recently heard a Presidential candidate (it might have been John McCain) say that if we’re wrong about Global Warming, we’ll develop cleaner technology without really needing it. But if we’re right, and take no action, the world will be in a horrible predicament.
So the point is, if we must be wrong, let’s be [...]

Energy Independent In 5 Years
December 14th, 2007 · No Comments
John McCain says it can be done. I believe. Hillary Clinton says let’s light a fire under the public like the moon program did back in the ’60’s. I agree. Big Oil says 5 years isn’t enough. Of course that’s what they’d say.
The end is nigh! For Big Oil, [...]
States To Regulate Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emissions
December 13th, 2007 · No Comments
Read this on Yahoo: “Handing a major defeat to the auto industry, a federal judge ruled Wednesday that California can regulate greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles.”
Yes! This means that finally the auto industry will have to get on board and “Go Green.” After all these years, we’re finally starting to see what [...]

Go Green - A Green Sky
December 12th, 2007 · No Comments
It’s funny how “Go Green” has become the catchphrase of the “Save Our Planet” movement. There’s information about how if we don’t save our planet, the sky will turn green. So either way we’re going green.
Apparently, the CO2 in the atmosphere and a combination of other factors will all contribute to changes that [...]

Heard “Go Green” On TV
December 11th, 2007 · 2 Comments
The catchphrase “Go Green” seems to be picking up in usage, particularly in public service announcements geared toward younger people. “Go Green!”
I’ve mentioned before how it’s funny that just a few years ago caring about the environment was uncool. Looks like everyone’s starting to follow the new trend. But what does this [...]

New Cheap Gas Bad For Car
December 10th, 2007 · No Comments
I just found out that newer gasoline, engineered to be better for the environment, is more easily separated when unused for long periods, especially if it’s the cheap stuff.
Apparently there’s water in there, and the cheaper gas you buy, and the longer you let your car, lawnmower, snow blower, or whatever sit without being run, [...]

What If Lower Emissions Is The Wrong Idea?
December 8th, 2007 · No Comments
Could the U.S. have had it right all along? What if demanding lower emissions will damage our economy and handicap innovation to the point where we’re just scraping by in an old system, and not developing any new technology? Could less-regulated emissions be the key to unlocking revolutionary new energy technology?
I’m thinking that [...]

Weather Manipulation
December 8th, 2007 · No Comments
If we had a mad scientist develop a weather machine, and we truly could control the weather, we could solve global warming and work toward ending world hunger. We’d be able to send rain to deserts and allow farmers to grow far more crops. We could make it cool in hot areas using [...]

US To Solve Global Warming With Tech, No Lower Emissions
December 6th, 2007 · No Comments
Yahoo had a great article on global warming with a lot of information. Basically, the rest of the world wants to lower emissions, but the U.S. thinks a strong economy with new technologies is the way to go. People are saying the U.S. is isolated in its ideas, but U.S. representatives deny that.
One [...]
