A few weeks ago, I was a major fan of nuclear power. I thought it could solve all our problems. When I was younger, I was more familiar with the issue of nuclear waste. It seemed to be in the media somewhat more. At the time a few weeks ago during [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

December 2nd, 2007 · No Comments
At Globalwarming.org, I read that, “US greenhouse gas emissions fell 1.5% in 2006, while the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions increased .8%.”
I know that the “Go Green” movement has taken a while to pick up steam, and that it feels like it’s hit pop culture in the recent months, but still. We achieved a small [...]
Crazy Weather Nature’s Way To Fix The Air?
November 24th, 2007 · No Comments
If we pollute and pollute and pollute, and throw all kinds of dust and dirt and chemicals and greenhouse gases up in the air, will some major storms and high winds clean it all up?
Are tropical storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, and the like similar to automated pool cleaners? Do they move around spontaneously for various [...]
Greenhouse Emissions Were Down A Couple Years Ago
November 17th, 2007 · No Comments
I saw on an episode of the “Colbert Report” that a few years ago, 2005 or 2006, greenhouse gas emissions were down from the previous year. Colbert attributed this to higher oil prices lowering demand for gas, and our government’s hesitation to correct the aftermath of wild weather like Katrina.
To me, the fact that [...]

Global Warming And A One-World Currency
November 13th, 2007 · No Comments
I’ve heard that potentially, all of today’s problems could cause the U.S. dollar to crash, and lead politicians to lobby for a single, unified currency worldwide. This would supposedly be done to promote and ensure economic stability.
Why would the dollar crash? If global warming continues and worsens, economic disasters could put a strain [...]
