Does your blog have a contact page? I’m having trouble locating it but, I’d like to shoot you
an email. I’ve got some recommendations for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it expand over time.

Comment on Extreme weather events have increased and were “very likely” caused by global warming by Floretta Ours

Floretta Ours — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 23:39:15 +0000

Weather is driven by air pressure (temperature and moisture) differences between one place and another. These pressure and temperature differences can occur due to the sun angle at any particular spot, which varies by latitude from the tropics. The strong temperature contrast between polar and tropical air gives rise to the jet stream. Weather systems in the mid-latitudes, such as extratropical cyclones, are caused by instabilities of the jet stream flow.*

Comment on Earthgauge Radio January 24: Richard Heinberg on energy, climate change and the fragile world economy by tonycopple

Heinberg puts everything into perspective. It’s obvious, once he explains it, that the growth economy is doomed. Politicians, ecomomists, journalists: listen up!

Comment on Weyburn carbon capture and storage facility springs a leak by Mark Brooks

Thanks for your question. The title of the post is legitimate and is based on a story that was reported in the Winnipeg Free Press, although the link now appears not to be working. In any case, a couple living near Weyburn reported that CO2 gas was leaking on their property from the Weyburn CCS test facility. Since writing my post, however, some scientists have questioned whether these reported leaks are actually related to the carbon capture facility. There appears to be some uncertainty about this. The couple in question continues to maintain that something strange is going on and they believe it is related to Weyburn.

Where exactly did u actually get the recommendations to compose ““Weyburn

Thank you ,Madeleine

Comment on Why are young people becoming less interested in environmental issues? by Ray

The pollution solution is do not pollute. If you must pollute, filter the pollution at its source. For example: Motor vehicles could have an exhaust filter routed back to an enlarged fresh-air intake. No pollution would escape to the atmosphere.

Here’s a new concept of reducing the Watt-hours used by 50%, by doubling the electricity frequency, using a variable frequency drive in series with a diode, to power various devices.

If an electric clock is powered at twice its frequency, then it will run twice as fast. If the power is half-wave rectified, then it will run on time using half of the Watt-hours.

This works! It electronically quickly turns the power ON and OFF. The power is switched OFF 50% of the time. The Watt-hours used are reduced by 50%. The frequency must be doubled to make the ON and OFF cycle quick enough. For example: 60 Hertz power has 120 ON pulses (or half-cycles) per second. Therefore 120 Hertz, half-wave rectified, is needed to have 120 ON pulses and 120 OFF pulses per second. This results in a 50% reduction of the Watt-hours used. Please try it using an incandescent light bulb.
