Green Guide recommends some tips on fighting global warming। The tips may fit in US, are easy to do with short explanation how many CO2 can be avoided. I don’t have the calculation and assumptions used by Green Guide to estimate avoided C02. It’s better to apply the tips instead of nothing. Hereby the tips: Replace five incandescent lightbulbs with compact fluorescents : Swapping those 75-watt incandescents with 19-watt CFLs can cut 275 pounds of CO2.Instead of short haul flights of 500 miles or so, take the train and bypass 310 pounds of CO2.Set your thermostat to 75 degrees and blow away 363 pounds of CO2Replace refrigerators more than 10 years old with today's more energy-efficient Energy Star models and save more than 500 pounds of CO2Shave your eight-minute shower to five minutes for a savings of 513 pounds.Caulk weatherstrip and insulate your home. If you rely on natural gas heating, you'll stop 639 po
The European Commission is setting up a Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA) with developing countries, which foresees integrating the tackling of climate change into poverty reduction strategies. The European Commission this week announced the creation of a fund to help developing nations battle climate change, putting in 50 million euros ($69 million) itself to kick it off.Louis Michel, EU Commissioner for Development and Humanitarian Aid, proposed the global alliance to help developing nations deal with and adapt to the effects of climate change."We need to maintain structured dialogue on tackling the effects of climate change," he said. "And we have to prepare developing nations for future natural disasters."With global warming affecting many sectors, the EU is keen to integrate "climate proofing" into poverty reduction efforts in order to ensure sustainability.

GLOBAL warming is by nature a big-enough problem to create the kind of necessity that could be mother, father and midwife to invention. And plenty of big ideas are out there to address it, some that may even lead to substantial enterprises much as our military needs have.
But the ideas being backed in the United States are things like biofuels and carbon-emissions trading. These are good approaches, but they may not hold much potential for actually staving off climate change. James E. Lovelock, a British scientist whose 2006 book, “The Revenge of Gaia,” argued that most of humankind is doomed, does not think much of renewable energy.
At a panel on climate change at the University of Cambridge this summer, Mr. Lovelock was asked what would be the most effective action people could take. Because humans and their pets and livestock produce about a quarter of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, he said, “just stop breathing.”
Now there’s a fine idea.
But even a gloom-and-doomer

OTTAWA–The Green party wants Canadian drivers to pay an extra 12 cents a litre at the gas pumps as the price of averting environmental “catastrophe.”Leader Elizabeth May is boasting that her party is the only one politically brave enough to call for carbon taxes that would discourage automobile use and finance other tax cuts that would allow consumers to make smarter environmental choices.
There is another example of the true driving factor in the global warming hoax-taxes.
The environmental challenge is similar to the space race about 50 years ago in which then-president John F. Kennedy said the United States would put a man on the moon, May said.
“He couldn’t prove it when he said it. He could mobilize the resources, fix the political will, and engage the public’s spirit and imagination in a bold, collective venture,” she said. “Surely we can do the same thing for purposes of survival.”
I thought that the science was setteled and the
You recycle. You buy Eco-friendly products; you really care about the environment and you know that driving that big SUV is not doing the Earth any service, but you can't help yourself. Because you REALLY do need all that space to lug the kids, pets, and the grocery that's packed in the cloth grocery totes. (Because the JGG has recommended it of course) You feel a twinge of guilt but seriously, you have done all you can on your part. Well, if can't give up that mammoth of a gas guzzler; there's something you can do to off set that. It's called TerraPass.TerraPass is a company started by ivy league business graduates who wanted to make an impact on Global Warming in a big way. This is not your average Environmental Group. The company is filled with many business mavericks who wants to dedicate themselves to the environment. So what exactly is TerraPass?TerraPass is a carbon off setting program in which you pay off the "carbon blueprint" you create by using resources such as electr
If you're anything like me you get real tired of the scaremongering that seems to be a steady staple of politicians, media, health freaks and so on.Here is a basic human truth - you are going to die. There is no cure. Accept it, and get on with life. If you are lucky enough to enjoy good health, all the better, don't be wastin' it. If you're blessed with a lot more than just good health, be doubly grateful. (I'm not a fatalist, but do like to think of myself as a realist).What got me goin' on this subject? Well, as I mentioned in my previous post, there ain't no point in worryin' about the things you can do nothin' about. As an example; everyone on earth has followed the growing debate about global warming. For all of you who are feeling hugely guilty, or afraid of the consequences of mankind's huge impact on nature, go and read this post about global warming. This fella could be wrong but he sure puts forward some logical and telling arguments - to my mind at least.Do you fe

The governors of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington have banded together in a new effort to fight global warming. Citing a lack of federal leadership as a major factor, the five states promise to create a regional target for reducing greenhouse gases within six months, a mechanism for meeting that target within 18 months, and create a five-state registry for tracking and managing greenhouse gas emissions.California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, said a so-called cap-and-trade program, which lets companies that can't meet their emission reduction targets buy credits from those that reduce carbon dioxide, would provide "a powerful framework for developing a national cap-and-trade program. ... This agreement shows the power of states to lead our nation addressing climate change." Called the Western Regional Climate Action Initiative, the agreement builds on earlier efforts by several states. It may also come to include additional agreements with other go
