Environmentalists In Books And Movies  By : James Nash In some cases, a writer's choice of putting environmentalists in the bad-guy role may indeed reflect the writer's true feeling that eco-fascists are trying to keep decent folk from enjoying the good life. In other cases, it is no doubt just a convenience for their plot. Early Warning Signs Of Global Warming  By : James Nash Global temperature in 2003 was the hottest in the historical record, and the temperature increase over the 20th century is likely to be the highest of the past millennium. The ten warmest years on record have occurred since 1987, seven of them since 1994. This article highlights early and emerging warning signs of global warming for each of the world's regions. Reducing UK CO2 Emissions By 60%  By : James Nash This article shows how the UK can achieve a 60% reduction on the total year 2000 CO2 emissions, i.e. to reduce the emission of CO2 in the UK to 40% of the year 2000 emissions.

What is Clean Coal Technology?  By : Christopher Carter Coal is the dirtiest of all fossil fuels. When burned, it produces emissions that contribute to global warming, create acid rain and pollute water. With all of the hoopla surrounding nuclear energy, hydropower and biofuels, you might be forgiven for thinking that grimy coal is finally on its way out. The Likely Development Of Hydrogen Supplies For The UK  By : James Nash There are several ways of making hydrogen in the UK. The cheapest way is to convert natural gas into hydrogen by a process called reformation, but there are 4 alternative methods available. Accelerated Global Warming And Atmospheric CO2 Emissions  By : James Nash It has been assumed that global warming will be a linear process.

Many hotels and leisure complexes are leading the way in the environmental stakes by lowering their carbon footprint. Renewable Energy From The Earth's Core  By : James Nash We can use the steam and hot water produced inside the earth to heat buildings or generate electricity. This so-called geothermal energy is a renewable energy source because the water is replenished by rainfall and the heat is continuously produced inside the earth. Advantages And Disadvantages of Geothermal Energy  By : James Nash The quantity of geothermal energy is virtually infinite and the environmental benefits are beyond reproach. Set against this are the disadvantages such as the need for more Research and Development and the substantial investment costs. Environmental Responsibility Versus Economic Gain  By : David Tymon Issues surrounding the environment have been high on everyone’s agenda in recent years thanks to stark realisation that our fossil fuel supplies are quickly running out. The Future Of Wind Energy  By : James Nash The modern wind turbine has come a long way in terms of sophistication, and the designs of today's wind turbines are very efficient compared to wind turbines from even a decade or two ago.

Tax Shifting And Environmental Economics  By : James Nash The need for lowering income taxes while raising taxes on environmentally destructive activities has been widely endorsed by economists. The basic idea is to establish a tax that reflects the indirect costs to society of an economic activity. Solar Energy Is Up - But Wind Power Also Surging  By : Paul Carton A recent survey of the alternative energy industry shows Solar has experienced the most rapid economic growth over the past 12 months - but Wind Power is also surging and has the most momentum going forward.

This article explores which different types of solar power exist today, and the different functions they perform. Are Zero Emissions Goals Realistic?  By : James Nash We've come to accept the assertion that some level of air pollution and water pollution is OK; or, if not OK, that it's necessary to allow a modern lifestyle. But is this true? Environmental Hypocrisy On The Right  By : James Nash George W. Bush promised to do something about global warming. The insincerity of the promise was made clear when he reneged on his pledge, claiming that joining the Kyoto protocol would hurt the economy.

Effects Of Global Warming on Agriculture  By : James Nash Agriculture is one of the most weather-dependent of all human activities. It is ironic, then, that a significant percentage of greenhouse gas emissions come from agriculture. Fossil fuel-intensive agriculture is contributing to the creation of the unpredictable weather conditions that all farmers will need to battle in the not-too-distant future. Why Glaciers and Polar Ice are Melting Faster  By : Klaus H Hemsath Melting of glaciers and ice sheets in Polar Regions is accelerating. This results in a faster rise of sea levels. Media and scientists express surprise that the polar ice around the North Pole is reacting this way. Ice melting can be understood when looking at the basic heat transfer processes that are at work in winter and in summer. Ice melting is the direct result of atmospheric carbon dioxide accumulation. How Hurricane Ike Underscores the Importance of an Effective Water Purification Process  By : Olivia Romero I'm shocked. I was listening to a radio news story about the aftermath of Hurricane Ike in the south Texas area. In an effort to provide local citizens with clean drinking water, a spokesman was saying that they were adding more chlorine to their water purification process.

Is Carbon Trading Contrary To Social Justice?  By : James Nash When governments and companies "trade" in carbon, they establish de facto property rights over the atmosphere; a commonly held global commons. At no point have these atmospheric property rights been discussed or negotiated - their ownership is established by stealth with every carbon trade.

Now think about the convenience of fast hot water without running any water down the drain. There are low cost solutions available to solve this serious problem. Shoud We Offset Our Residual Carbon Emissions?  By : James Nash Critics say buying an offset while continuing to fly, or drive an SUV, or live in a mansion with all the lights on, is at best hypocritical, and at worst, downright dangerous. It simply avoids the issue, which is that we should be reducing our carbon footprint, and simply encourages the delusion that we can go on living in an environmentally profligate way. Is Additionality Essential For The Credibility Of Offsetting?  By : James Nash One of the biggest problems with offsetting is ensuring 'additionality' - proving that the offsets that you are buying in order to counterbalance your carbon emissions would not have happened without yours and other similar contributions.

Why Offset With Trees?  By : James Nash If climate change is primarily the result of burning fossil fuels isn't offsetting with trees simply a distraction? Shouldn't we focus on renewable energy projects that can replace the use of fossil fuel? Drinking Water Safety: Take Advantage of New Technology  By : Olivia Romero Let's face it...we live in a world of rapidly developing technological advances. Fortunately, for us, this has resulted in continued improvement in the quality of our daily lives. Take drinking water safety as an example. Over the years, the danger of waterborne diseases caused by harmful bacteria has been replaced by hazardous environmental toxins. As such, water disinfection has been replaced by water filtration. These remarkable advances allow us to take advantage of new technology that comes right out of our drinking water faucets.
