A Sense of Urgency is Needed if Greenhouse Gases are to Peak in Time
We really need to cut that out!
According to an article from the UNEP dated February 23, 2010 “Countries will have to be far more ambitious in cutting these emissions if the world is to effectively curb the rise in global temperature by 2°C or less. This is the conclusion of a new greenhouse gas modeling study based on the estimates of researchers at nine leading centers, compiled by the UN environment program (UNEP).” Continue Reading A Sense of Urgency is Needed if Greenhouse Gases are to Peak in Time Here

Germany Plan To Eliminate Nuclear Power Plants May Add 40 Million Tons of CO2
Nuclear power plant, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
The phase-out for nuclear power in Germany is seen as more of a political ploy than a technical advancement as German Chancellor Angela Merkel tries to capture the anti-nuclear sentiment in the aftermath of Japan’s Fukushima crisis.

Climatic Changes From Global Warming Results in Completely New Climates
Climatic Changes From Global Warming Results in Completely New Climates
The climate models that were produced in the study could completely alter our current world climate zones with climatic changes, which will affect where crops are grown and drive some plant and animal species to extinction, all within the next 100 years or so. According to Jack Williams, a Geographer from the University of Madison we are headed for major change, FAST, and that “one of the things that we can definitely say that the more carbon dioxide we put in the atmosphere, the models very clearly show more of a warming that takes place in the U.S. and worldwide.” Continue Reading Climatic Changes From Global Warming Results in Completely New Climates Here

Reducing UK CO2 Emissions By 60%
Reducing UK CO2 Emissions By 60%
This article shows how the UK can achieve a 60% reduction on the total year 2000 CO2 emissions, i.e. to reduce the emission of CO2 in the UK to 40% of the 2000 emissions. It describes the development of an integrated energy system for the UK which will enable renewable energy systems in conjunction with hydrogen technology to supply an increasing share of the whole energy market.emission. It describes the development of an integrated energy system for the UK which will enable renewable energy systems in conjunction with hydrogen technology to supply an increasing share of the whole energy market.
In this article the reader can see the assumptions and outputs and can modify them if the reader does not agree and so explore the proposed policies. Continue Reading Reducing UK CO2 Emissions By 60% Here

How to Calculate Your Household Total Carbon Emissions
How to Calculate Your Household Total Carbon Output A guide to help you calculate and reduce co2 emissions
How much are you really affecting the atmosphere? Can you find out what kind of carbon footprint your home is making? Actually, not only are there ways to calculate your home’s carbon footprint; there are ways to reduce it, too. If we each make an effort to reduce our emissions, overall it will have a positive impact and we can make progress towards achieving our goal of 350 or less, in which 350 is the number that leading scientists say is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide—measured in “Parts Per Million” in our atmosphere. 350 PPM—it’s the number humanity needs to get back to as soon as possible to avoid runaway climate change.
The US Environmental Protection Agency has a carbon calculator on its website, Household Emissions Calculator Here. Various other calculators are available online to determine your carbon footprint. Continue Reading How to Calculate Your Household Total Carbon Emissions Here
