Global Warming And Climate Volatility
As part of the Human Induced Climate Change Experiment, we have been predicting the effects of global warming on climate volatility. Indeed, we have seen a marked severity in volatile weather systems. 2012 went down as the hottest year in recorded history. Though we are only several days into January, the year is already setting […]

Snow Covered Desert
While snow coverage has been retreating in the Northeastern United States, the increased volatile weather systems being caused by global warming are causing it to snow in the desert. Snow-Covered Desert Snow-covered deserts are rare, but that’s exactly what the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite observed as it passed over the […]

Are Bio-fuels Worse for the Environment?
by Daniel Brouse The Membrane Domain Q: Are bio-fuels, ethanol, and re-cycled restaurant oils worse for the environment? A: Yes. The more volatile nature and ozone emissions used as a fossil fuel substitute appear to be much more harmful to the environment than fossil fuels. Though fossil fuels need to be eliminated as soon as […]

When the World Burned Less
More On Climate Change In the years after Columbus’ voyage, burning of New World forests and fields diminished significantly – a phenomenon some have attributed to decimation of native populations by European diseases. But a new University of Utah-led study suggests global cooling resulted in fewer fires because both preceded Columbus in many regions worldwide. […]

Australia Carbon Tax
On July 1, 2012 Australia will impose a price on carbon emissions. A price on carbon is the most environmentally effective and economically efficient way to reduce pollution. This means our economy can continue to prosper – without our pollution continuing to grow. The Government’s plan for a clean energy future includes four key components. […]
