Citing Europe’s ‘green obsession’ and inflexible, failed climate policies as key reasons why so many EU economies are faltering on the brink of bankruptcy, Dr. Benny Peiser shocked his audience with images of EU forests ravaged by energy-poor citizens in search of fuel. Friends of Science say climate change and global warming policies should be based on scientific evidence, not apocalyptic computer modeled forecasts. Calgary, Alberta, Canada (PRWEB) May 16, 2013 “The audience sat...
DALLAS, May 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The report "Refrigerant Market - Hydro Chlorofluorocarbons (HCFC), Hydro fluorocarbon (HFC), Hydrocarbon (HC), Inorganic (Ammonia, Carbon dioxide) - Trends & Forecasts to 2018"", defines and segments the global refrigerant market with analysis and forecasting of the global volume and revenue. Refrigerant consumption will grow from an estimated $10.5 billion (equivalent to 1,207 thousand MT) in 2012 to $15.7 billion by 2018, with a CAGR of 6.9%...
Picarro Analyzer Took Historic Measurement on Mauna Loa SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Researchers from SCRIPPS studying atmospheric levels at the Mauna Loa Observatory last week recorded the milestone 400 parts per million (ppm) CO(2) concentration using instrumentation from Picarro Inc. The Mauna Loa observatory is a premier atmospheric research facility, and ideal for monitoring climate change due to the undisturbed air and minimal outside influences atop the...
WASHINGTON, May 13, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Environmental Investigation Agency: Late last week, Representative Scott Peters (CA-52) introduced the Super Pollutant Emissions Reduction Act of 2013 (the "SUPER Act") as a first step to stopping emissions of short-lived climate pollutants, to slow down the rate of climate change. Short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs), including methane, black carbon, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and tropospheric ozone, are responsible for 40-45%...
Captured CO2 Increases U.S. Natural Resource Output At Enhanced Oil Recovery Operation LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa., May 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Air Products (NYSE: APD) today celebrated the successful operation of a United States Department of Energy (DOE) Demonstration Project that will capture approximately one million tons of carbon dioxide (CO(2)) in an enhanced oil recovery project in which DOE anticipates an additional estimated 1.6-3.1 million barrels of oil to be produced annually...
Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources Joe Oliver is in Europe to argue that the European Union’s Fuel Quality Directive unfairly stigmatizes Alberta Oil Sands products. Friends of Science point to the climate change hypocrisy in the EU when one compares their terms for ‘carbon neutral’ wood pellets shipped from Canada or the carbon footprint of EU beer consumption vis a vis oil sands’ emissions. Calgary, Alberta, Canada (PRWEB) May 08, 2013 “Despite a tradition of common...
Leading Edge Design Group (LEDG), a leading national provider of energy optimization services, announced today that it will offset its carbon emissions with the Carbonfund.org Foundation, one of the country's leading carbon offset organizations. In addition to their existing effort to reduce emissions by advancing corporate recycling initiatives, improving office-wide sustainable products and systems procurement, and establishing team car-pooling mandates for customer visits to reduce...
April Flowers for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online A new mechanism to convert natural gas to energy up to 70 times faster than current methods has been identified by chemical engineering researchers. This new mechanism also effectively captures the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2). “This could make power generation from natural gas both cleaner and more efficient,” says Fanxing Li, assistant professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at North Carolina State University....
Scaletron Industries has expanded its line of gas cabinet scales with the new Model 2308-12 scale. The scale base measures 12x12x1 inches and accommodates cylinders up to 12" in diameter. Plumsteadville, PA (PRWEB) May 06, 2013 Scaletron Industries, Ltd., a manufacturer of corrosion resistant digital and mechanical scales, has expanded its line of gas cabinet scales with a larger version of the Model 2308 digital gas cabinet scale. Previously, the scale was offered in only one size,...
WASHINGTON, May 3, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A NASA-led modeling study provides new evidence that global warming may increase the risk for extreme rainfall and drought. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20081007/38461LOGO) The study shows for the first time how rising carbon dioxide concentrations could affect the entire range of rainfall types on Earth. Analysis of computer simulations from 14 climate models indicates wet regions of the world, such as the equatorial...

Aquascaping is the art of arranging aquatic plants along with rocks, cavework, stones, or driftwood, in an aesthetically pleasing manner within an aquarium. Aquascape designs incorporate numerous distinctive styles. Usually, an aquascape houses fish as well as plants, although it’s possible to produce an aquascape with solely plants, or with rockwork or other hardscape and no plants. Even though the main goal of aquascaping is to construct an artful underwater landscape, the technical...
Ocean acidification is the name that was given to the ongoing decrease in the pH of Earth’s oceans, a cause of the uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. About 30 to 40 percent of the carbon dioxide that is released by humans into the atmosphere dissolves into the lakes, oceans, and rivers. To maintain the chemical equilibrium, some of it reacts with the water to create carbonic acid. Some of these extra carbonic acid molecules react with a water molecule to provide a...
Earth's Atmosphere -- Earth's atmosphere consists of nitrogen (78.1%) and oxygen (20.9%), with small amounts of argon (0.9%), carbon dioxide (variable, but around 0.035%), water vapor, and other gases. The atmosphere protects life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation and reducing temperature extremes between day and night. 75% of the atmosphere exists within 11km of the planetary surface. Temperature and the Atmospheric Layers The temperature of the Earth's atmosphere...
