Research is constantly being done on global warming.  The research is being done by studying statistics and by going directly to the source.  Various scientists are coming up with different answers to the most basic questions about global warming.

Some scientists studying global warming in the Arctic have discovered thinning sea ice near the northern reaches of Alaska.  The summer of 2007 showed the least sea ice since sea ice was first tracked in 1979.  Scientists participating in the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s Gyre Exploration Project cruised aboard the Canadian Coast Guard’s ship, the Icebreaker, to see the effects of global warming for themselves.

We bring news of one of the biggest weddings of the year, between French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. A lavish affair, the bride will be escorted down the aisle by the German car industry, which has provided a very dirty dowry for the happy couple. But, as France and Germany look set to get into bed together, we’re sad to say we won’t be hearing the pitter-patter of tiny feet any time soon. Instead, we’ll hear the continued roaring and revving of climate-crashing, gas-guzzling car engines.

We have come to rely completely on energy.  We use it in almost everything we do; we live in it, use it for all our modern conveniences and more.  Without energy we wouldn’t know what to do.  In the past, before energy, there were lanterns for light and matches and wood for heat.  That was the only options people had.  When power was accessible to everyone by running power lines through cities, towns, residential areas to allow everyone to tap into the new generation, people were skeptical as to how this would affect everyone in the future.

Over the years, appliances became energy friendly, which made for less manual labor and more free time.  Wash machines, dryers, dishwashers and the latest in cooking stoves that no longer needed wood.  These were all great inventions and although people were skeptical they still took advantage of these appliances.  Today we have the worry of saving the energy that we know and love so well.  Our energy is fueled by non-renewable resources which will allow the depletion of these resources slowly and over time where we won’t realize it until it is gone. We need to find an alternative to the way we power our energy but we also need to store the energy that we already have. Read the rest of this entry »

There is no lack of numbers, charts and graphs that appear to support the global warming statistics being touted are the world as a preview of things to come. However, as many of the more cautious point out, weather experts and climatologists have such a difficult time predicting the weather on a daily basis, that projecting what the world’s weather patterns may be in 50 or 100 years, is simply guessing.
