Global Warming describes a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere. This is permanently changing the Earths climate forever. The primary cause of global warming is from humans, mostly burning of fossil fuels to drive cars, generating electricity, and operating our homes and businesses. Global Warming is very real, and it is occurring every day.

The changes are small, so far, Read more…

The question most often asked by organizations trying to figure out carbon emissions reporting is related to The Climate Registry. Explained here are further details about the registry and why your organization should care about it.

The Climate Registry was published in draft form as early as May, 2007. It documents and outlines the requirements for carbon (CO2) emissions reporting. Many organizations are wondering why it Read more…

Global warming is expected to change magnitude to the worse of the intensity of power of nature, such as storms, hurricanes, tropical cyclones and tornadoes. It is determined not by individual weather events, such as heat periods or cold snaps or hurricanes, but by the planetary average above ground temperature. It is already raising the intensity of hurricanes in the North Atlantic, increasing the risk of devastating impact whe Read more…

There seems to be a huge public outcry about the greenhouse gases and varied perceptions among general public and the environmental groups. However, before we attempt to evaluate the merits of “greenhouse gases”, let’s first clarify as to why these gases are called greenhouse gases.  The term “greenhouse” as we know it, is associated with an enclosure where the atmosphere is maintained under favorable conditions. Greenhou Read more…

You’ve probably heard a lot about solar energy and how efficient it is. Moreover, over the last few years, there have been several moves to see how effectively we can use solar power in an attempt to alleviate the energy crisis that the world faces. So, how does using solar energy fit into the bigger picture of protecting our environment? The point is that even small changes in the way we do things go a long way in terms of savi Read more…

Climate refers to the average weather experienced over a long period of time, and includes temperature, wind and rainfall patterns. The climate of the Earth has changed many times during the planet’s history in response to a range of natural causes, but it is now changing rapidly due to human influence.

The emission of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide) is the main human influence on the wo Read more…

The legendary Indian spiritual leader Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) once said: “The earth has enough for the needs of all but not the greed of a few.” His words have since proved to be quite prophetic!

The world today is in chaos and by that I’m not merely referring to the tumult taking place in the Middle East; what I’m talking about is the imminent extinction of hundreds of millions of people as a result of globa Read more…

Many people throughout the world have been conditioned into believing the unproven theory that global warming is caused by mans’ industrial activities. However the opponents of this theory point to instances in the past when global warming, without the influence of man, did take place.

The scientific community agree that the earth is about 4.5 billion years old and during that time its accepted as a known scientific Read more…

The Earth and Venus are near each other in the Solar System, and are similar in size, density, and composition. Based on our understanding of the origin of the Solar System, we would expect that their initial atmospheres would have been rather similar. Yet the present atmospheres of the two planets could hardly be much more different than they are. How did this come to be? The reason is thought to lie in what is termed the “Run Read more…

The main reason for deforestation is the demand for fuel, wood and paper products, cattle ranching, farming, mining and road construction. Half of all the trees cut down in the world are used for fuel. Burning wood is common in developing countries where there are often no readily-available alternatives. This in itself may not a huge problem; only, most of these trees are not replaced, which is a problem. The use of wood and paper Read more…
