Planet is CHANGING !!!

“Today there is 20 percent people in the world suffering hungriness. The people among them are mostly from Africa and underdeveloped nations. The main issue is how to provide food while population is increasing rapidly and climate is changing speedy due to global warming”

The biggest enemy in human being’s life is hungriness. Scientist is not able to make hunger free nation even though the restless effort they have did in well developed nations. If we talk about the well developed countries rather than under developed country; among 6 people there is 1 person who is suffering hungriness. In November’s third week of 2009 politicians and researchers have given commitment that we will remove the hungriness very soon. But, they didn’t given any specific timeline. But the organization for food and agriculture which is Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has urged to these countries to make a goal to completely remove hungriness by 2025.

Figure showing that 20 per cent of people have been suffered hungriness in the year 2009 in all over the world. The desirable is to reduce 10 percent till 2015. But, according to the U.N Organization Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) this target is impossible to achieve. Not only will this but situation become very worst in coming days. World population will become 9.1 billion by 2050 and other one of the main cause is global warming. The way global warming is increasing it will impact very badly unto the agriculture sector and the production will automatically decrease and which will bring several such problems.

The Consultative Group on International Agriculture Research (CGIAR) a research laboratory for food and agriculture which issuing money to the underdeveloped nations to grow in agricultural sector denoted that there will be a need of $16.4 billion instead of $5.1 billion. And the scientists of CGIAR have given argument of above statement that if this much of money will be given to food and agricultural sector than the production will become double. But, which is impossible to achieve due to global warming.

Is there any solution available to overcome from such a big problem??

Here there are a few thoughts which if implemented correctly then we will overcome from such a big problem. Firstly, there should be given a priority to save water. According to UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) there an increase needed in below sprinkle water area up to 11 per cent. Although, due to climate change there are several lakes and rivers become dry in the world. Secondly, there should be a research in the area of seed which will be more fruitful and have more immunity this should be of qualities like it can easily grow in less water situation, it can bear more temperature, and it can provide good quality of portioned too. At the last but not the least is give attention to make growth speedy. According to the International Food Policy Research Institute (IEFPRI)’s Mark Rozgrant ‘s calculation if the production growth of African agricultural food can be increased up to 25 per cent only it will provide more food than if the facilities to provide sprinkle water plant double.

Do you know how much dangerous the air pollution, and water pollution is for us? And which are the main cause behind such pollution? Recently the World Health Organization had given a surprising report which is:

“DUE TO POISONOUS AIR AND DIRTY WATER 30 MILLION CHILDREN DYING EVERY YEAR!!!”

In the year 2008, 30 million children died and they are below the age of 5 years only. This is because of the large firms which producing huge quantity of poison into the earth. The poison filled by the firm makes water and air poisonous. Government of different countries in the world knows, the reason behind this is a big chemical firms producing air and water pollution. Even though government of the particular country not take it seriously and put people life in danger.

Such kind of firms will not only polluting a water and air but filling a slow poison into the environment which start showing harmful effects after a few years. Now a day we have such effects which is GLOBAL WARMING, GREENHOUSE EFFECT, CLIMATE CHANGE, ETC. and the effect which I have described into the title. Natural Resources Defence Council have given a list of harmful things for child is, (a) Air Pollution, (b) Insect Killer Drug, (c) Tobacco Smoke, (d) Lead, and (e) Dirt in drinkable water.

According to one assumption due to the race of industrialization there are 75,000 (seventy five thousand!) new chemical has been discovered in last 50 years. And we do not have accurate details about how much these chemicals can impact on environment and human being. Before start using such chemicals into the industries they did not concerned about how much can this chemical will affect to human being and environment. Now a day when scientists research and find out some issues of such chemicals harmful effects on environment and human, industries ignoring it because they are settled. Researchers worrying about children health related problem due to mixing of such poisonous chemical into the environment. In recent 20 years the per cent of ASTHMA in children became 3 times due to such harmful chemicals. The impact of any kind of chemical on child is always more than a well developed human. The reason behind this is (1) Child consumes more food, water and air as compare to elder one and (2) Children’s immunity power is less then elder person.

Do not think that children get affected with such chemical is on roadside, on play ground, or at outside the home. Now a day in our home we are using 62 types of such harmful chemicals in our routine work and there are 150 types of chemicals we can found in modern houses. e.g. when your child is doing painting or drawing the marking pen it is using consists a very harmful chemical xylene. Do parents know about such chemical? If your child suffer headache, or have a problem to take breathe smoothly than one of the reason behind this is xylene. In your kitchen gas stove produce a carbon monoxide which can easily damage your children’s tissues available in blood. In your home if one of the members has a habit to smoke than this habit can implant lung cancer in your child. Sometimes in our home we do painting, the paint colour consists lead (Mixture of graphite with clay in different degrees of hardness) which affect our mind and kidney directly go through breathe. Lead is a poisonous metal.

Such kinds of several chemicals are not only thrown into the air from industries. We people are also a part of such pollution. We need to follow some simple rules in our day to day life like when you are at the traffic signal switch off the engine which will save your petrol, diesel or gas plus saves environment too, minimize the use of vehicles, plant tree and encourage people around you to follow such instructions.

We can make this world clean!!!

by: Dave Roberts Natural gas and electricity are the two most common providers of heat and light in today’s homes. These two commodities have been around so long it is difficult to imagine a world where they are replaced with an alternative.

So far as we can see, on the scientific horizon at least, they wont be replaced either by some such method as zero point energy, which is energy created by the mechanical oscillations of quantum particles...Sound like science fiction ? Well, so far, yes it is still in the realms of science fiction and if it were possible today, would be hugely expensive to produce. But don’t despair, because In 1989 two chemists, Pons and Flieschman conducted an experiment and claimed to have determined a process of cold fusion. Fusion is a process that happens in the heart of stars, while fission is something that occurs in nuclear reactors. Both very big and at least one, very expensive! Neither a viable option for sole domestic use.

Anyway, Pons and Flieschman rocked the world when they published the results of an experiment they conducted that produced energy, namely heat, at room temperature by using some noble materials and heavy water, through a process of fusion, which generated heat from a sustainable source at room temperature. It wasn´t until the end of April that year when the experiment was conducted by independent bodies, that they were unable to achieve the same claimed results as Dr´s Pons and Flieschman. The process was deemed flawed and the two chemists were discredited and that, by and large, was the end of the matter. The two chemists were, as far as their careers were concerned, finished and they faded into obscurity. Pons and Flieschman committed the cardinal sin of the scientific world by releasing the results to the press first instead of their scientific piers for review. Tut tut tut, off to scientist hell, never to return again!

However, twenty years on, research is still being carried out and there have been some promising results, not just with cold fusion but with hot fusion also. Hot fusion has had more media coverage, probably because it doesn’t attempt to side line conventional physics. Phenomenal heat, Phenomenal pressure, incredible amounts of money and wallah, fusion! Cold fusion on the other hand requires a glass beaker, some deuterium, palladium, heavy water. Now this, I am led to believe, is an atomic reaction and not a chemical reaction and as such may or may not produce a rise in temperature of a few points of a degree over a couple or so weeks, depending on impurities and how it is measured. Non the less, there have been significant advances in researching cold fusion that some serious companies have invested some serious money in its continued research.

Before you clasp your hands in delight at the thought of having a particle colliding, atom smashing, deuterium and palladium guzzling cold/hot fusion reactor at the bottom of the garden, you may want to consider some readily available, non-controversial alternatives to supplying you with electricity.

Wind Turbines
40 of the electricity a household uses in a year.

Costs for installing a solar electricity system vary a lot - an average system costs between £8,000 and £20,000, depending on its size and type. The more electricity the system can generate, the more it costs but the more it could save. Solar tiles cost more than conventional panels, panels built into a roof are more expensive than those that sit on top but, if you need major roof repairs, PV tiles can offset the cost of roof tiles.

Savings can be considerable - around 1.2 tonne of CO2 a year, and around £250 off your electricity bill. A 2.5 kWp system could provide 50% of a household's yearly electricity needs.

Maintenance is generally small - you'll need to keep the panels relatively clean and make sure trees don't begin to overshadow them.

This article has barely scratched the surface of what is available to enable the home owner to produce their own electricity, there are other methods such as Hydrogen fuel cells, Bio fuel for generators, recycled cooking oil for generators...and so on.

However, implementing these technologies is pointless unless your home is adequately insulated first.

by: Dave Richard Recently, I attended an Alternative Energy Convention - one of many I attended over the last few years. It seems like these type of conventions are getting more and longer every month. My opinion is that that these conventions are held so often nowadays because the Global Warming Crisis that we are facing is growing more rapidly than scientists initially anticipated.

What worries me is that at all these conventions, the "clever" people and the "powers-that-be" agree that our needs (and "wants") are outpacing what Mother Earth can provide. They all agree that we must look into initiatives to generated cleaner, greener alternative energy sources. Some of them had ideas of using currents in the ocean, some agree that the wind is the answer and some look at the sun. The truth is that most of them went back home in there energy-thirsty 4-track vehicles, not to ever think of their noble ideas again.

A attend these conventions because I am an engineer in appliances that generatate sustainable alternative energy for big corporations - even in the oil industry. I asked many times, but not once did I get a turn to speak or to air my opinion at a convention. You see, I'm not a scientist, politician, or a chairman of an organization that wants to save the earth - I'm merely a person with an interest in doing what these meetings are called for - that is generating alternative energy.

What these "know-alls-but-do-nothings" do not realize is that alternative energy is not only limited to corporations, but that the small guy, the individual, can also contribute. The challenge is to "school" people and to promote the idea. It is not just about driving hybrid cars, and doing recycling - it is more about our own efforts to "whip" the energy, oil, and manufacturing industry (I'm convinced that many of these conventions are held by them, anyway).

Well, I already decided a few years ago that "charity" begins at home and I started to research small-sized appliances of generating alternative energy - something that any family can afford. My research lead me to the Internet and I was pleasantly surprized that many websites provide resources that teach you how to build your own appliances to generate alternative energy.

However....Since I began with my quest to find an inexpensive solution all those years ago, I've been through literally every emotion imaginable - frustration... anger... jubilation! Eventually, and after a lot of hard work, I did filter out the best resources on the Internet and ever since then I'm generating enough energy to go 'off-grid' - that's right I "whipped" the energy company - they're not getting a dime from me anymore. Now, all of a sudden, I'm also "smart" enough to be invited as guest speaker at conventions and seminars about alternative energy!

See, nowadays, trying to find the resources to make your own energy is difficult because there are so many guides, videos, and websites on the market to choose from and unless you have the time and money to test them out, you're basically going to go round in circles....and potentially lose a lot of money.

Added to my quest to "go green", I'm saving $1000s a year on energy bills! In the last year or two I focussed on small-sized energy saving appliances for the average household. I'm also often asked to do reviews of products and training material about this subject.

I came to realize that "charity" realy starts at home, and that home is Earth. I also believe that we shouldn't look or drill deep down into a hole to find our energy - let's look up - after all the sun has enough sustainable energy to shine on all of us.

The Daily Mail (U.K.)
10th January 2010

The bitter winter afflicting much of the Northern Hemisphere is only the start of a global trend towards cooler weather that is likely to last for 20 or 30 years, say some of the world’s most eminent climate scientists.

Their predictions – based on an analysis of natural cycles in water temperatures in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans – challenge some of the global warming orthodoxy’s most deeply cherished beliefs, such as the claim that the North Pole will be free of ice in
summer by 2013.

According to the US National Snow and Ice Data Centre in Colorado, Arctic summer sea ice has increased by 409,000 square miles, or 26 per cent, since 2007 – and even the most committed global warming activists do not dispute this.

The scientists’ predictions also undermine the standard climate computer models, which assert that the warming of the Earth since 1900 has been driven solely by man-made greenhouse gas emissions and will continue as long as carbon dioxide levels rise.

They say that their research shows that much of the warming was caused by oceanic cycles when they were in a ‘warm mode’ as opposed to the present ‘cold mode’.

This challenge to the widespread view that the planet is on the brink of an irreversible catastrophe is all the greater because the scientists could never be described as global warming ‘deniers’ or sceptics.

However, both main British political parties continue to insist that the world is facing imminent disaster without drastic cuts in CO2.

Last week, as Britain froze, Climate Change Secretary Ed Miliband maintained in a parliamentary answer that the science of global warming was ‘settled’.

Among the most prominent of the scientists is Professor Mojib Latif, a leading member of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which has been pushing the issue of man-made global warming on to the international political agenda since it was formed 22 years ago.

Prof Latif, who leads a research team at the renowned Leibniz Institute at Germany’s Kiel University, has developed new methods for measuring ocean temperatures 3,000ft beneath the surface, where the cooling and warming cycles start.

He and his colleagues predicted the new cooling trend in a paper published in 2008 and warned of it again at an IPCC conference in Geneva last September.

Last night he told The Mail on Sunday: ‘A significant share of the warming we saw from 1980 to 2000 and at earlier periods in the 20th Century was due to these cycles – perhaps as much as 50 per cent.

'They have now gone into reverse, so winters like this one will become much more likely. Summers will also probably be cooler, and all this may well last two decades or longer.

‘The extreme retreats that we have seen in glaciers and sea ice will come to a halt. For the time being, global warming has paused, and there may well be some cooling.’

As Europe, Asia and North America froze last week, conventional wisdom insisted that this was merely a ‘blip’ of no long-term significance.

Though record lows were experienced as far south as Cuba, where the daily maximum on beaches normally used for winter bathing was just 4.5C, the BBC assured viewers that the big chill was merely short-term ‘weather’ that had nothing to do with ‘climate’, which was still warming.

The work of Prof Latif and the other scientists refutes that view.

On the one hand, it is true that the current freeze is the product of the ‘Arctic oscillation’ – a weather pattern that sees the development of huge ‘blocking’ areas of high pressure in northern latitudes, driving polar winds far to the south.

Meteorologists say that this is at its strongest for at least 60 years.

As a result, the jetstream – the high-altitude wind that circles the globe from west to east and normally pushes a series of wet but mild Atlantic lows across Britain –
is currently running not over the English Channel but the Strait of Gibraltar.

Like Prof Latif, Prof Tsonis is not a climate change ‘denier’. There is, he said, a measure of additional ‘background’ warming due to human activity and greenhouse gases that runs across the MDO cycles.

‘This isn’t just a blip. We can expect colder winters for quite a while’But he added: ‘I do not believe in catastrophe theories. Man-made warming is balanced by the natural cycles, and I do not trust the computer models which state that if CO2 reaches a particular level then temperatures and sea levels will rise by a given amount.

‘These models cannot be trusted to predict the weather for a week, yet they are running them to give readings for 100 years.’

Prof Tsonis said that when he published his work in the highly respected journal Geophysical Research Letters, he was deluged with ‘hate emails’.

In March 2000, Dr David Viner, then a member of the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit, the body now being investigated over the notorious ‘Warmergate’ leaked emails, said that within a few years snowfall would become ‘a very rare and exciting event’ in Britain, and that ‘children just aren’t going to know what snow is’.
