Find All The Global Warming Information Sources At One Site
Find All The Global Warming Information Sources At One SiteBy Allan BarkerWith and Global Warming now becoming moreimportant daily, educators, students, journalists, scientistsand governments all need fast access to all the latest GlobalWarming research and news. Alphatech5.com has created a large directory of information onGlobal Warming and put together all of the links to every majorresearch center, research paper, news source, government bodiesand educational institutions that are the authorities onClimate Change and Global Warming. Leading authorities such as the IPCC, US EPA, the Stern Review,the Woods Hole Institute, NASA's Goddard Space center and dozensmore can all be accessed from one easy directory. The site can be found at: http://www.alphatech5.com/cchange/cchange.htm Access is free and all interested parties are welcome to browsethe directory and use the links as required. They giveessential information for the general public, plus importantresearch links for students and educators. Global Warming and are now accepted as fact,with governments around the world now looking to build on theKyoto Protocol by establishing greenhouse gas emissionreduction targets. The US President, George W Bush, has recently held talks withEuropean counterparts in order to kick start this process andbegin working on establishing reduction targets and time framesfor the USA. Currently only the USA, Canada and Australia have not acceptedthe Kyoto Protocols and it is currently the intention of thosegovernments to establish their own frameworks rather than adoptthe Kyoto Protocols. The major stumbling block to worldwide adoption of uniformtargets and time-frames will be differing economic andpolitical imperatives. The fast developing nations such asChina and India do not wish to hinder the growth of theirburgeoning economies, whilst the developed nations do not wishto slow their economies drastically either by reducing theirincome from fossil fuel industries such as oil, gas, petroleumand coal. The need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is clear. Polarice caps are receding rapidly, glaciers are disappearing,weather patterns are changing, flora and fauna are disappearingat alarming rates. It is now not a question of will the use of fossil fuelsdisappear, but when? Alternative energy sources such as FuelCells, Solar, Wind, Wave and even Nuclear will grow apace andthe fossil fuel industries are now in their sunset phase. Like the steam train, they have been of great use to mankindbut they have now outlived their usefulness and must beconsigned to the pages of history. Keep plenty of photographs of your favourite petrol-guzzlingauto. In a few years we will all be driving Hybrids - andeventually Fuel Cell or Hydrogen powered cars.About the Author: Allan Barker is the CEO and owner ofhttp://alphatech5.comContact alb5049@gmail.comhttp://www.alphatech5.com/cchange/cchange7.htm Global Warming Information Directory
Electricity from Trash
Capturing methane from rotting garbage will help reduce climate change due to greenhouse gases.
Waste Management is creating electricity from rotting garbage at 100 of its landfills, and plans more such projects. This is a double win, as the methane gas produced by the garbage has a 21 times worse greenhouse gas effect than carbon dioxide. But now it can be captured to create energy rather than being emitted into the atmosphere.

Astrologer Fails to Predict Cyclone
It wouldn't be important that an astrologer failed to predict the Myanmar cyclone if astrology weren't important there.
Continuing on the theme of what can and cannot be predicted, the weather is the next logical topic and evidently a noted Burmese astrologer has publicly apologized for his failure to predict Cyclone Nargis. But in a country like Myanmar where they take astrology seriously, evidently the citizenry depends on their astrologers for this kind of thing:

Climate Analysis
From a post on calculating CO2 impacts correctly.
?m using this as an example of the kind of armchair analysis I would love to see more consumers and voters do on their own when faced with any buying or voting decision that has significant energy and/or environmental implications. Does this candidate?s claim make sense? How much money can I save by adjusting my thermostat a couple of degree or car pooling? How much CO2 can I avoid by signing up for 100% green electricity?

Angelo's Is Back
Angelo's Restaurant in St. Marks was swept away by Hurricane Dennis.
Angelo?s was washed away by Hurricane Dennis in 2005 and just recently reopened this winter. It?s a beautiful place, lovely view and great food, but not the place to grab a quick and cheap bite to eat. We had enjoyable meal, though, sitting on the deck and watching the boats and birds over the bay.

Is Carbon Neutrality Actually Possible?

Review: The End Of Suburbia
Will climate change force us to re-think suburban development?
Of course, no one knows what?ll happen to the suburbs we have now. Will they become the slums of the future? At least one expert in the film predicts a scarier scenario where we may not even have time to build new ?hoods with new urbanist design principles; we may just need to salvage what we have left in the face of global climate change.

Why Do They Hate Us?
A look at climate change and politics.
Yet another hot button topic these days is climate change and the environment. On the surface, you wouldn't think that this should be a conservative vs. liberal topic. After all, climate change is either happening or it isn't. And yet this is an issue that divides conservatives from liberals as much as any other.

The Perfectly Timed Vacation
Hurricane Ivan and other hurricanes have changed travel economics.
The best deals on lodging aren?t necessarily found in the hotels, but the low-rise condos. Thank Hurricane Ivan for that, she says. Many hotels were damaged by the 2004 storm, and have recently been repaired and reopened. So if you don?t mind staying in a condo, low season ? at least when it comes to saving money ? may last longer than a season. It could extend months, or longer.

We Interrupt This Program
Has the federal government lost all credibility in natural disaster recovery?
Excuse me, while I open a space in the political discussion to point out something beyond the primaries on Tuesday - a powerful series of thunderstorms ripped through the Mid-South with tornadoes that killed at least 54 people and injured hundreds. They have been promised help by George W. Bush, which I can tell you as someone who lives in an area struck by hurricane Ivan in 2004 and knows what the Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas Gulf Coast still looks like after Katrina and Rita in 2005, is not going to happen any time soon.

Anatomy Of A Local Breaking News Story
A great behind-the-scenes look at coverage of Hurricane Wilma from the local point-of-view.
Back in 2005, when Hurricane Wilma was about to smack the Naples area, our news organization made a commitment that when it came to real-time coverage, we were not going to get beat on this story by CNN or The Weather Channel or any other news organizations.

Hurricane Felix Making Landfall
Is the quote machine broken:
The Nicaragua coast is experiencing powerful winds and surge at this time, as the wrath of a catastrophic monster category 5 hurricane Felix with winds of 160mph and gusts close to 190mph moves inland over Nicaragua very close to Punta Gorda and Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua. Felix is the second category 5 hurricane to make landfall this year, and before Hurricane Dean a week or so ago, there were no land falling hurricanes at category 5 status for 15 years.

Dean Update - Monday, Aug 20, 11 AM
Waiting for Hurricane Dean.
Everybody?s talking about the hurricane and now everyone?s saying that it looks like it?s going south. We?re continuing our preparations (and so is everyone else, apparently), but we?re less worried. We?re reminded that with both Hurricane Emily and Hurricane Wilma, it barely even rained in Merida. It?s good to keep in mind that what happens on one end of the Yucatan Peninsula, doesn?t necessarily effect the whole peninsula.
