Like Water for Oil

More and more I have seen autoshows talking about displaying and making technologies available for consumers when it comes to transportation. In most European countries the public transport works on electricity sources from hydro power but what I am really getting at is the recent talk of cars fucntioning on a hydro engine. The possiblity to run a car on a resource that covers more than 75% of our earth's surface should be looked out more closely given that the only emission would be water vapour.

Its a £1Billion Plan to be the Eco-Boo

I have studied the recent accounts by Gordon Brown's government and am appalled to think that they are even considering to re-install coal power plants to generate electricity for England. E.On wants a deal with the government and everyone seems to be looking the other way despite having the knowledge that during and after the industrial revolution the sky in England on most occasion was black but not do to the weather so much as the amount of coal burning facilities based mostly in London. They can't be real, this idea is not going to help reach guidelines set by the EU to cut down on greenhouse emissions.

Global Warming up the Death Toll

I know everyone out there is happy to see the sun shining but sceintists claim that too much heat could claim the lives of the elderly and even the young. Greenhouse gasses are the reason why heat waves are going to be the next big natural disasters warned Scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).

Calculate Your Carbon Footprint

Recently I did a little tour around the web to look for sites that could give an accurate calculation of my carbon footprint. To my surprise there a lot out there. Google even has there own although I wouldn't necessarily advise anyone to use it. I did find one that particularly caught my eye because it not only calculates it but shows it in relation to the average in your area vs. the average of the country you live in as a whole. All in all an interesting site that also gives you pointers as to what you can do in order to cut down on your emissions.

Eco-Science and Eco-Technology

All of the biggest minds of our time are trying to bring our world into a concious state of developing new ways of living in a more sustainbable manner. More and more architects are working together with technology experts and sceintists to re-produce the future of living. Even Hollywood has claimed a place in this new market for a sustainbable futrure.

Rice or Biodeisel, Cyclone or Money?

The recent cyclone that hit Bangladesh has utterly wiped out millions of people and everyone surely knows that the death toll alone and the country's lack of interest in the immediate aid of its people is shocking alone. If you look in the months before the cyclone you will see an alarming idea onset by the growing number of rice fields being bulldozed away by the militant rulers to make way for bio-diesel crops. Let alone reminding oneself that we all have to change what we put into the air doesn't mean that people have to die in the process. The double edged sword of politics seem ever more to reap the benefits either way.

Global Warming up new Disease Issues

I recently got a bit upset when somebody said to me that global warming was alright because the old would die off and the young would have a party everday as the sun continued to glare even more intensly upon the planet. I used to work as a private secratery to a United Nations official who constantly warned me the dangers of global warming as far as the growth of bacteria. The Center for Disease Control in Atlanta or the CDC has always been at the head of U.N. efforts to curb disease in places such as Africa and other underdeveloped nations but recently their has been a big issue on the growing number of people infected with malleria and new strains killing off huge numbers of people. A special chemical used by organizations to fight the mosquitos who infect people with malleria is just as harmful as the overpopulation of these mosquitos and this comes at a time when we are supposed to be finding new ways of combating difficulties like the one these international organizations are trying to fight, but do our solutions always have to be at the cost of the planet in such an obvious manner.
