Just what many have been forecasting has come to pass. 2007 was the coldest year in almost 50 years. There is more antarctic sea ice than there has been in 100 years. The global temperature dropped nearly .75° this past year.

“Twenty-four cities around the world will fall into shadow next month as homes and businesses turn off the lights to raise awareness about global warming”, organizers said Tuesday.

Not long ago we had Live Earth, now we have Earth hour. Live Earth has been proven to be a joke and had been a huge waste of energy. I, again, watched some of Live Earth the other night and realized how cult like the people sounded as they talked about things that could be done to save the planet.

The hell you say!
Gasoline right out of the air? Yes, and I can prove it. The concept is so simple, I should have thought of this myself. To understand how we get gasoline from thin air, you have to know what gasoline is made of. So here’s all you need to know. Don’t freak out at the molecule diagram. Anything you can represent with Tinkertoys® can’t be that hard.

Sometimes it’s really hard to come up with ideas for a weekly column, but just when you wonder what, you do a simple web search. The first article on global warming that came up grabbed my attention. It’s what this site is about. The headlines read:
Scientists say their observations prove industry is to blame
This headline from the San Francisco Chronicle grabbed my attention. I desperately wanted to see this new evidence on global warming. Maybe this was going to be the article to turn me around and pull me on board the global warming express.

Brazil Is Off The Hook
As of 2006, because of ethanol production from sugar cane waste, and some new off-shore oil discoveries, Brazil is energy-independant. Not only do they not import fuel, they actually export $800 million in ethanol annually.

“What I would challenge you to do is to put a lot of effort into trying to see whether there’s a legal way of throwing our so-called leaders into jail because what they’re doing is a criminal act,” said Dr. Suzuki, a former board member of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and Order of Canada recipient. “It’s an intergenerational crime in the face of all the knowledge and science from over 20 years.”

The Green River Deposit
There is a deposit of oil under the Green River in Colorado which holds EIGHT TIMES more oil than ALL of Saudi Arabia’s oil fields combined. What’s the catch? The deposit is in the form of oil SHALE.
If you add up the estimated yield from all U.S. oil shale deposits, you are looking at 2 TRILLION barrels of oil. Now THAT would hold us for 270+ years, if we could only get at it.

I last wrote how the imminent demise of the polar bear is being used to instill fear in children about global warming. The same thing is happening with the penguin. What better than some cute and cuddly bird, the penguin, to present as an example for the damage that global warming can cause?
They fail to mention that the penguin is 17-18 different species, and that many of them live far from Antarctica. Penguin fossils have been found as old as 40 million years. Those little birds have existed for a long time. In those 40 million years, species of the penguin have come and gone, just as it has for most other species of animals. In that period the penguin survived numerous ice ages and resulting warming periods that exceeded the warming of today. continue reading » »

As I have stated many times there seems to be no conclusion by the majority of scientist on man made global warming. Yet, the schools, the government, and a ton of
organizations are promoting it as if it’s a forgone conclusion. We hear all too often, “The debate is over.” If that’s true, then this website, and thousands like it, wouldn’t exist. It’s fine to agree or disagree on the subject, but shouldn’t we draw the line when it comes to children? For the children there should be no end to debates.

The Breakthrough
Nanosolar is a company founded in 2002 in San José, California, with the goal of making a new kind of affordable photovoltaic (PV) cell.. They have acheived that goal. For the first time in history, we can make electricity cheaper with sunlight than with a coal-fired plant.
The Old Way
Until now, PV panels cost 3$ for every watt of electricity they produced. The expense was due to the process they had to use. Semiconductor and
