Yesterday we took a look at some new research that says America is Unprepared for Climate Change. In that post I pointed out that if you believe in global warming, if you don’t believe in global warming, if you think make-believe elves started the global warming issue, it really doesn’t matter. While I do personally believe in climate change problems, I also believe that the things humans can do to prevent global warming are basic things they should be doing anyway for their personal health and their family’s health.
So no, in my opinion it really doesn’t matter if global warming …read more

According to a report out this year, the National Research Council claims that US agencies and political leaders are not getting the right information or guidance needed to prevent further climate change or even to deal with the current climate change issues.

According to a weird piece at The Times Online, global warming is now such a threat that out only salvation may be geo-engineering.

The plan, “Geo-engineering on a planetary scale” is unique and consists creating artificial trees that can absorb carbon dioxide, or reflect sunlight away from the Earth. It’s troublesome that it’s come to this in my opinion, but if we don’t take care of the planet, this may be our only option.
According to the Times article, “the Royal Society, Britain’s national academy of science, is preparing a report on the feasibility of geo-engineering” among other artificial plans. Some of …read more
