U.N. blames warming earth for extreme weather in 2013

Associated Press: Much of the extreme weather that wreaked havoc in Asia, Europe and the Pacific region last year can be blamed on human-induced climate change, the U.N. weather agency says. The World Meteorological Organization's annual assessment Monday said 2013 was the sixth-warmest year on record. Thirteen of the 14 warmest years have occurred in the 21st century. A rise in sea levels is leading to increasing damage from storm surges and coastal flooding, as demonstrated by Typhoon Haiyan, the agency's...

Earth Narrowly Missed Solar Blasts in 2012
2014-03-20 19:27:08| TechNewsWorld
Enormous solar blasts, which possessed the potential to wreak havoc on electrical grids and satellites, barely missed Earth in 2012. The near-misses, revealed by researchers Wednesday, would have been akin to the 1859 Carrington Event, the largest solar storm ever recorded. While there were no satellites to cripple back then, the storm knocked out telegraph systems across the U.S.

Blue and Green: The chancellor George Osborne is a dangerous man. A disciple of financial service deregulating and climate change denying ex-chancellor Lord Lawson, he delivered a budget statement on Wednesday as depressing as the Conservative Environment Networks recent Responsibility & Resilience pamphlet was encouraging. As we repeatedly explain, we hold no torch for a particular party, despite what our magazines name suggests. No, we are not the green wing of the blue Conservative party. The preservation...

Earth Grounding Resistance
2014-03-19 21:34:00| Electrical Construction & Maintenance
Testing for earth ground resistance is essential for two important reasons: safety and equipment uptime. Without an effective grounding system, fault currents have no safe path to ground, and those current will find unintended paths that could include people. Poor grounding is also a cause of poor power quality. read more

Earth Control: Countdown, by Alan Weisman
2014-03-16 15:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: If we wanted to bring about the extinction of the human race as quickly as possible, how might we proceed? We could begin by destroying the planet's atmosphere, making it incapable of supporting human life. We could invent bombs capable of obliterating the entire planet, and place them in the hands of those desperate enough to detonate them. We could bioengineer our main food sources - rice, wheat and corn - in such a way that a single disease could bring about catastrophic famine. But the most effective...
