Well it seems now there is a blame game going when it comes to political actions being put into effect in the white house. If you haven’t heard any of this before, here are a few things that will put you up to date on the matter. The president's science adviser said Wednesday he recommended some changes in global warming testimony by the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention but

Here is the first outerwear product in the world that can recharge a cell phone, iPod or other device using solar power. Italian ZEGNA presents the first commercially available jacket with integrated solar solution based on “iSolarX” – a flexible and highly efficient wearable solar technology.

First the bad news: As reported by Sky News the demand for palm oil for biodiesel is contributing to the destruction of some of the world's most precious rainforests. I highly recommend the video included with the article. The article focuses on the rainforest in Indonesia where the rainforest could be gone in just 15 years and the orangutan extinct in 10 years, but the threat posed by palm oil

Ever-rising industrial and consumer demand for more power, cheap and abundant coal factories across the world are expected to result in the construction of new coal-fired power plants producing 1,400 GW (Giga-watts) of electricity by 2030. Without the regulations on CO2 emissions, these new plants will increase overall global emissions of CO2 by approximately 7.6 billion metric tons by 2030.

Geothermal Energy is made up from the heat inside the Earth. Resources of geothermal energy range from hot rocks found in shallow ground to hot water springs. Also, the heat from the inner core of the earth called “magma” can be used as a source for Geothermal EnergyThe shallow part of the Earth’s mantle or “crust” (the Earth's surface), maintains a constant temperature of 50° to 60°F (10° and 16

A nationwide survey suggests an increasing number of U.S. citizens consider global warming an important threat that calls for drastic action. The survey by Yale University, The Gallup Organization and the ClearVision Institute showed 40% of respondents said a presidential candidate's position on the issue will strongly influence the vote.

Greenhouse gases naturally blanket the Earth and keep it about 33º C (Celsius), warmer than it would be without these gases in the atmosphere. This is called the Greenhouse Effect. Over the past century, the Earth has increased in temperature by about .5º C which many scientists now believe is the result of an increased concentration of the main greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, methane,

There are many people (over 70 groups), who are not very happy with Caterpillar. This is because Caterpillar has recently joined the USCAP (United States Climate Action Partnership). USCAP is made up of companies and environmentalist groups who wish to put a “cap-and-trade system” on carbon emissions. Here are some comments by the opposed groups stating their “up-right and respectable” views:What

Unless the GLA (Greater London Authority) takes radical steps, such as the removal of all cars from London, it will not meet its goals for reducing carbon dioxide emissions, according to a new report.The GLA is committed to reducing London's carbon dioxide emissions by 60% by 2025, but most climate scientists argue that even more rapid reductions will be needed if we are to avoid dangerous

Lately people have been focusing their attention on what they can do to their car as far as helping to reduce the emission put out into the air. This is all fine and dandy but their still are other ways and things to be looked at that will help in the fight for a greener earth. The answer just doesn’t lie within car modifications or bio-fuels, but as well as in the place of residence.Reducing

One of the biggest questions out their when it concerns bio-fuel is, “Which is the better part of corn, the husk or the kernel?” So far scientist and researchers have found out that even though ethanol is made from corn (among others such as soybeans, used cooking oil, and switch-grass), corn husks make what is called celluosic-ethanol.Celluosic-ethanol is agreed upon to produce more energy than

Global warming is and always will be an urgent and serious problem, especially if we do nothing to change it.

Global warming has become a very hot topic at the moment. All the members of the G8 have agreed that their aim is to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions by 50% in 2050, and with that said it is now time for everyone worldwide to start taking action.It was Japan that gave birth to the Kyoto Protocol and they have now devised a new initiative called Cool The Earth.

Monday, Ontario announced the Liberal Plan. The provincial wide plan states that the province aims to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases to 6 percent below the 1990 levels. Its goal is to be achieved by the year 2014; just two years after the Kyoto agreement’s deadline. The future goals of the plan are to achieve 15 percent below the levels found in 1990 by the time 2020 arrives. The final

Estimates of future emissions and removals depend in part on assumptions about changes in underlying human activities. For example, the demand for fossil fuels such as gasoline and coal is expected to increase greatly with the predicted growth of the U.S. and global economies. The National Research Council concluded, in assessing current trends, that "emissions of some greenhouse gases are
