How We Cause Global Warming
June 11, 2009 by Daniel Ambrose · Leave a Comment
A question asked over 9100 times per month on google alone is how is global warming caused and not nearly enough people are answering the hard questions that are being asked. I feel this is an important question and deserves serious answers.
Global warming has made it evident that there are serious climate changes going on. Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa was once known for its snow covered peaks and now there is but sparce snow upon those, once beautifully covered, peaks.
We need not stop there as the snow covered peaks are melting all around the world. Anyone familiar with Glacier National Park in Montana, can attest to this phenomenon as Boulder Glacier, a once beautifully snow covered mountain top, is now little more than a chilly place to enjoy the mountanous views.
But this is happening all over the world. Switzerland is well known for many famous glaciers (e.g. The Tschierva Glacier and, The Rhone Glacier, just to name a couple), and the list of places go on and on. The Upsala Glacier located in Argentina, along with the Perito Moreno Glacier.
Even the Himalayan Glaciers have been seriously affected. The Himalayans stretched across Asia include 14 of the tallest moutains in the world and provide over half the drinking water for 40 percent of the worlds population. This is serious as the drinking water is not easily replaced and a water shortage to over 2.8 billion people seems very likely without serious efforts to correct the causes of the global warming.
But we still have not touched on the actual causes of the global warming phenomenon and that is where this will continue on my next posting, so be sure to come back and you should sign up for my RSS Feed.
Eco-Friendly Home Fights Global Warming -Part-2
June 10, 2009 by Daniel Ambrose · Leave a Comment
Since the remission of the near fraudulent scientists are now in the past it is even more common to hear new home buyers discussing the benefits related to an eco-friendly home and how they can fight global warming.
One of the many benefits of a true eco-friendly home would be the lack of a common utility bill. These homes are commonly powered through solar panels and, or wind turbines and besides contributing to the fight, its pretty nice not having a light bill.
Not only do you do away with a light bill, but you can even get a check from the utility company if you sale them your excess power. Now you have lost a bill and gained an income. How nice is that?
But we are not going to stop there, are we? Lets also make certain we are using eco-friendly light bulbs and building materials. If you want to get the best bang for your buck, you are going to want to hire an eco-friendly archetect that has a strong knowledge of using eco-friendly building materials.
I know some are saying that hiring an architect can raise the project cost by as much as 15-percent, but the savings in non wasted building materials and overtures will far exceed their added expense and they will make certain that the home you build is the home you wanted.
The big thing about an eco-friendly home is the projected savings in your carbon foot print. This is what makes it all worth while and contributes to the global warming fight.
Remember that while you are discussing your home designs with your architect to also discuss things like plants and trees for in and around the new eco friendly home. For these to will contribute to lowering your homes carbon foot print and you should take advantage of their knowledge while they are there.
The biggest weapon we have in fighting global warming is knowledge. It is important to learn all you can and share that information with everybody possible. Because lack of knowledge is our worst enemy in the eco friendly fight against global warming.

Eco-Friendly Home Fights Global Warming
June 9, 2009 by Daniel Ambrose · Leave a Comment
A headline in a major metropolitan newspaper or just a wish of a homeowner. An eco-friendly home to help in the fight against global warming is becoming more and more spoken of with contractors in todays global warming climate.
As a people on the same threatened world we must come together like never before and fight global warming or be defeated by the very world we call home. Every person on this planet must realize there is a fight and take steps to take part in the battle.
The following information can be looked at from two different points of view. There is over 6.5 billion people on this planet either contributing to the harm being caused to the planet or 6.5 billion people that can be contributing to the fight for global healing. Which side are you on?
People often say there is nothing I can do, its just too big a problem for me to help and then they run into someone that is helping in the fight against global warming and find their part in the battle does not have to be overwhelming. You can join the battle without concern of overwhelming yourself.
There is room for simplicity in the fighting ranks of the Global Healers. An eco-friendly home can be a strong part of your contribution. There is no limitations on how little or how much help you provide in this battle, the only requirement is that you take part.
In years gone by there were several scientists debating whether there really was a global warming danger. Sadly this debate has long since ended. The nay-sayers have finally admitted there is no way to dispute the facts any longer. To dispute the facts now is to identify yourself as being with a personal agenda.
No true scientist wants to be seen in this way as they would lose all credibility and without credibility their lives would be ruined. They would literally need to find a new career to sneak into with the hope of not being noticed.
Even as the last of the nay-sayers were quietly trying to remove themselves from the negative side of the controversy they were found to be taking jobs with the big oil companies that had been supporting their efforts because to lose to the facts was going to be costly to the industry.

The Floating Wind Turbine

Floating wind turbine launched
By Jorn Madslien
Business reporter, BBC News
The world’s first floating wind turbine is to be towed out to sea this weekend.
Statoil’s Alexandra Beck Gjorv told the BBC the technology, the Hywind, to be put off Norway’s coast – “should help move offshore wind farms out of sight”.
And it could lead to offshore wind farms eventually being located many miles offshore, away from areas where they cause disruption, Ms Gjorv added.
This would benefit military radar operations, the shipping industry, fisheries, bird life and tourism.
“Taking wind turbines to sea presents new opportunities,” said Ms Gjorv, of Statoil’s new energy division.
“The wind is stronger and more consistent [and] areas are large.”
The Hywind, a 2.3 megawatt (MW) wind turbine built by Siemens, combines technologies from both the wind farming industry and the oil and gas sectors, and will be tested off the coast of Norway for two years.
In a similar way to how large parts of icebergs are hidden below the sea surface, the turbine has a 100 metre draft that is anchored to the seabed with cables, that can be up to 700 metres long.

Offshore wind farms cost considerably more than wind farms on land, and initially floating ones will be more expensive than static offshore installations.
But over time, insisted Ms Gjorv, the floating turbines should not cost more than fixed ones.
Statoil plans to target markets where there is both an ability to pay as well as large and growing demand for energy, she added.
Floating wind farms could later be established off both coasts of North America and off the Iberian peninsula and the coasts of Norway and the United Kingdom, she said.
Floating wind farms could provide an additional source of energy for countries that have run out of space for their onshore wind farms, or where there is not enough wind on land, Ms Gjorv added.
“The global market for such turbines is potentially enormous, depending on how low we can press costs,” she said, though she was not able to quantify it or to outline a timescale for when floating wind farms would become commercially available.

Make Your Own Solar Panels
June 2, 2009 by Daniel Ambrose · Leave a Comment
For many, using home solar panels sounds unfeasible and futuristic. But more and more of today’s middle class urban families are starting to see how easy and accessible solar energy is. It is completely clean, green, and free to every person on earth. The only thing that is needed is a little bit of knowledge that can help you harness solar power for your own everyday use.
While you can purchase pre-made home solar panels, a lot of people are shocked to find out how simple it is to make and install your own. There are several instructional manuals, books and videos on the market which can teach you how to make solar panels and integrate them into your existing electrical system, but by far the best of the bunch is Energy By Earth which can be found on the author’s main website:
Energy By Earth will teach you how to make an entire solar energy system from scratch, including your own solar panels for less than $200. Since a system like this can save you hundreds of dollars each month, it is worth learning the principles behind solar energy.
Once you have your system in place, you will begin to see savings in your monthly energy costs almost immediately. In fact, many families have reported that they are able to actually earn money by generating more than they use. This is fed back through your city’s power grid—you can literally see the meters running backwards—and the power company pays for the surplus.
Energy By Earth is a complete guide to generating sustainable energy for your home or business. It is the simplest and most thorough book on the market today. In addition to teaching readers how to build solar panels, the book also provides detailed instructions for making a wind turbine; and it has a wealth of reference information that will help you build your overall knowledge of alternative energy.
Download Energy By Earth in electronic format immediately from the website:
and start making a difference in your home, your bank account, and the planet today!
