Renewable energy effectively uses natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides and geothermal heat, which may be naturally replenished. Renewable energy technologies range from solar power, wind power, hydroelectricity/micro hydro, biomass and biofuels for transportation. Source
Who knew that there was a difference between the concepts of alternate fuel and alternate energy? Not many people on Planet Earth!
We have made ourselves so dependent upon power from fossil fuel sources, that the entire world is being held captive by a very few oil-rich countries. How did these few sources come to have so
much and other countries so little?
They got it by eminent domain -- it was on their land when they arrived.
When an ice cube melts in Greenland, it's the lead story on the evening news because it was caused by human-induced global warming. When a polar bear hibernates 50 yards farther north than last year, we're told by news commentators it is because not enough people have purchased hybrid vehicles. When a tornado hits the deep south in February, certain scientists tell us on cable tv it is because the United States did not ratify the Kyoto Protocol. But when a large group of internationally acclaimed scientists get together to discuss the shortcomings of the IPCC's report on climate change, they are absolutely ignored by the national media.
We could probably do a daily Global Warming Update, but there are plenty of places already doing that. Instead, I promise to continue to keep a look out for pertinent articles, books and stories about the Climate Change and from time to time give you the good stuff here on TheFunTimesGuide.com. Here is information about a new book, a recent article about the ice age of the 1970s and other goodies to help you build your knowledge about Global Warming.
It's one of the most hotly debated topics of our time. I recently heard two of the world's most respected weather experts go head to head on something they don't see eye to eye on. Excerpts of the debate are now available online!
Global Warming is a very complicated issue.
Finding information about Global Warming is easy. Finding good information about Global Warming can be a bit more challenging.
I just ran across a pretty good book which is not a difficult read, yet it captures the essence of the problem.
In my mind, there is little doubt the planet is warming up. Global Warming is happening. The only question is - who is to blame, the Democrats or the Republicans?
