What is Global Warming?
The claim that nothing is happening is very difficult to defend in light of the vast amounts of visual, land-based, and satellite data that clearly show rising average ocean and land temperatures and shrinking ice sheets.
The claim that observed global warming is natural or at least not the result of human carbon emissions (see Climate Skeptic below) highlights data that show that global temperatures and atmospheric CO2 levels have been as high or higher in the past. They also point to the well-understood effects of solar activity on the amount of radiation hitting the Earth and the fact that the Sun has been particularly active in recent times.
In general, climate scientists and environmentalists either (1) dispute the data based on, for example, new ice core data or (2) suggest that the timing issue - that is, how quickly the globe has warmed and the climate has changed - simply does not fit the model of past natural events. They also note that compared to other stars, the Sun is actually very stable, varying in energy output by only 0.1% and over a relatively short 11- to 50-year cycle quite unrelated to global warming as a whole. The data strongly suggest that solar activity influences global climate in many important ways, but is not a factor in the systemic change over time that we call global warming.
As for the ultimate position that global warming and climate change are due to human activity (are “anthropogenic”), scientists attribute today’s atmospheric warming to human activities that have increased the amount of carbon-containing gases in the upper atmosphere and to increased amounts of small particles in the lower atmosphere. (NASA offers a good course module on “The Carbon Question.”) Specifically, gases released primarily by the burning of fossil fuels and the tiny particles produced by incomplete combustion trap the Sun’s energy in the atmosphere. Scientists call these gases “greenhouse gases” (GHGs) because they act like false reflectors in our global greenhouse.
Scientists call the tiny particles “black carbon” (you call it soot or smoke) and attribute their warming effect to the fact that the resulting layer of black particles in the lower atmosphere absorbs heat like a black blanket.
Scientists date the beginning of the current warming trend to the late 18th or early 19th century when coal first came into common use.
This warming trend has accelerated as we have increased our use of fossil fuels to include gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and natural gas, as well as the petrochemicals (plastics, pharmaceuticals, and fertilizers) that we now make from oil.
Scientists attribute the current warming trend to the use of fossil fuels because their use releases into the atmosphere stores of carbon that were sequestered (buried) millions of years ago.
The addition of this “old” carbon to the world’s current carbon stock, scientists have concluded, is what is warming our planet, causing global warming.
What are the main greenhouse gases? The most common and most talked about greenhouse gas is CO2, or carbon dioxide. Because it is so common, scientists use it as a yardstick or measure of things that are warming the atmosphere. Methane, for example, another important greenhouse gas, is 28-36 times
Hello, dear sponsor Antony 💙 Here are five pieces of good news for the ocean, on World Oceans Day!
We love the ocean. The ocean is the world's largest habitat for animals, produces more oxygen than all the trees in the world, distributes heat around the globe and ensures that we have fresh water to drink and food on the table. But most of all, we love the ocean because it is so beautiful, exciting and amazing! as hot as CO2 when in the upper atmosphere (USEPA GWP - Global Warming Potential. - estimate over 100 years), therefore 1 ton of methane = 28-36 tons eCO2 or CO2 equivalents.
The most commonly discussed GHGs are: CO2 or carbon dioxide is produced when something is burned. It is the most common greenhouse gas, and by some measures accounts for almost 55% of the total long-term greenhouse gas. It is used as a marker by the US Environmental Protection Agency, for example, because of its ubiquity. Carbon dioxide is assigned a GWP or Global Warming Potential. of 1.
Methane or CH4 is produced in many combustion processes and also by anaerobic decomposition, for example in flooded rice fields, pig and swill ponds, and pig manure ponds. Methane breaks down in about 10 years, but is a precursor to ozone, itself an important greenhouse gas. CH4 has a GWP of 28-36.
When you embrace and hug a tree, energy will be shared. Your soul and spiritual energy meets the tree's energy from nature and mother earth. All living creatures of the creator are filled with the universal energy Reiki which makes it possible to communicate and share energy.
In our modern society we are dependent on energy and we therefore need energy sources that can produce electricity. Nature's own energy sources such as sun, wind and water are the most environmentally friendly energy sources! But we should not produce energy at the expense of Mother Earth's beautiful nature by building dams in waterfalls and waterways or building large windmill parks in the middle of beautiful natural gems.
A new study from the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) shows that today's electric cars in Europe have almost four times lower emissions throughout their entire life cycle compared to gasoline cars.
This means that an electric car emits 73 percent less – even when you take into account production, electricity consumption, scrapping and recycling..
On April 26, 1986, the world witnessed one of the most catastrophic technological failures in history, when a failed safety test at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Soviet Ukraine led to a massive explosion. What began as a routine test turned into a nightmare as high levels of radioactivity contaminated vast areas, displaced thousands of people, and left a legacy of suffering and secrecy.
The Chernobyl disaster was a combination of poor reactor design, human error, and negligence. Today, Chernobyl stands as an eerie time capsule. Pripyat, once a bustling city for plant workers and their families, now stands abandoned, its streets frozen in place the moment its residents fled.
A life in harmony with nature and animals is meaningful and inspiring! To establish contact with wildlife, it is smart to start by creating feeding stations. The animals will then understand that you are a friendly person and will become your regular guests. Through mental communication, you will gradually be able to approach the animals physically. They will become curious and slowly but surely they will seek closer and friendship is established!
At Sheraanton Colonyfarms we will be self-sufficient and independent of external suppliers both when it comes to energy and the most necessary consumer goods.
When it comes to renewable energy, we have so far built a simple solar power plant similar to what we see in the picture. The power plant will be expanded with more solar panels and batteries.
The next step at Sheraanton Colonyfarms will be to build a wind power plant similar to the one in the picture. The power plant can be expanded with more wind turbines and battery storage.
The generator in the picture produces 5000 Watts and will only be used for heavier tools/machines or in an emergency.
Already as a little boy, i wondered where all the pollution from cars and factories, end up, and how Mother earth could withstand this without having a side effect.If a person is locked in a small room while a car is emitting exhaust, he will die within minutes. The Earth is exposed to emissions from millions of cars, planes, ships and in addition all emissions from factories, industry and coal and oil-based power plants etc. People have long known that the ozone layer is thinning and CO2 is accumulating in the atmosphere, which leads to global warming and thus climate change all over the world! Antony has always understood that sooner or later man's careless treatment of our Earth must have consequences! The new climate knowledge is just a public confirmation of what Antony has already known for a long time! Mother Earth cannot be put on hold, We must act NOW!
The Bible's book of Revelation tells of the new heavens and new earth, and many Christians believe that God will create an entirely new planet and that environmental protection is therefore completely unnecessary. But the new heaven and earth is a cleansed and renewed mother earth, with a renewed heaven that is completely free from pollution. It is therefore important that God the creator's "true" servants take care of the creation to the best of their ability!
Faith and environmental protection: No matter what religion or belief we may belong to, most people agree that behind every building there must be a designer and builder. No human building can in any way be compared to the universe and Mother Earth, where everything is set in perfect harmony and interaction with each other, which testifies that it is an intelligent and amazing designer/creator who has set everything in motion and who still helps to influence and control development. We can also agree that we humans have been placed on this planet for a meaningful reason, but that the reason certainly not is to destroy this planet, as we humans are well on our way to do. As servants of God our Creator it is our duty to do everything in our power to care for our Creator's mother earth and protect her from destruction! And according to God's plan, help make it a better place to live for us and future generations!

And according to God's plan, help make it a better place to live for us and future generations! Here are some simple tips on environmental protection and what ordinary people can do to take better care of Mother Earth.
1: If you have a vehicle that runs on fossil fuels such as petrol or diesel, and if your economy allows it, then replace it with a more environmentally friendly vehicle or use public transport.
2: Replace your phosphate-resistant soaps etc. with more environmentally friendly alternatives from, for example, Forever Living Products.
3: Replace the plastic bag with shopping bags and buy fewer plastic bottles and products packed in plastic.
4: Use less paper towels and replace it with washable textile towels. Replace toilet paper with a hand shower, which is also more hygienic and helps prevent urinary tract infections and hemorrhoids.
5: Buy and eat less meat! Animal household leads to deforestation to free up land to keep and feed the animals. Humans are basically created to live of the fruits and vegetables of the field (The garden of Eden) which is also health-promoting. And it’s not possible to unite with Mother Earth, nature and animals if you contribute to the suffering and killing of our fellow creatures.
