Data of NASA shows that the trend in the Earth’s temperature has been mostly upward and that the Earth is now about 1.3 °F warmer than it was a century ago. Scientists point to an increase in greenhouse gases from fossil fuel use as the major cause, but skeptics claim the warming observed is natural. [...]

Possible sources of alternative energy include solar power, wind power, energy from the sea and biomass although there is no doubt that other possibilities exist and may become significant Fossil fuels are so called because they were formed from the remains of prehistoric plants and animals. Examples of fossil fuels include coal, oil and gas [...]

There are also natural ways that eart warming occurs, so it cannot all be completely blamed on humans. It is not very likely that people can put an end to the natural things that contribute to this warming. Although, we can make a huge difference by stopping activities that make global warming happen faster and [...]

There are always parts of the world wherein natural disasters happen more often and lots of properties and lives are destroyed. Only the people who are living in the country where tsunamis, earthquakes and other natural disasters do not happen can experience the so-called “heaven on earth.” For some, the world is just a cruel [...]

The temperature of Earth may have increased between 2 degrees F and 11.5 degrees F when 21st century comes to a close. This temperature increase is mainly due to two reasons. Natural phenomena such as volcanoes, radiation from the sun, methane release are the first cause and the mistakes committed by people like deforestation, injudicious [...]

In this context, it is apt to consider the alternatives to these sources of power, which can go a long way in arresting the increase in green house gases.  The main sources of renewable energy are examined below. 1. Solar Energy – Solar energy is a source which has immense potential.  It derives it’s energy [...]

Emergency planning could save your life. So prepare for life’s unanticipated disasters and take the time needed to put together a disaster kit. There are six basic steps to preparing a kit. The following is a list, along with the items needed that should be stocked. Make sure you have enough for at least three [...]

These are obviously interdependent and should be tackled simultaneously. The two big policy elephant’s in the room are economic growth and population growth which drive consumption and the release of greenhouse gases. Without subduing these, any attempts at mitigating global warming through technological means alone will be completely undermined. We also need to replace the [...]
