Your flat screen TV could be killing the planet, read all about it: There's a research paper being much-touted in the tech and green press: concludes that nitrogen trifluoride is many times worse for the earth's atmosphere than methane or CO2 or the more popular greenhouse gases. That nitrogen trifluoride, also known as NF3, its chemical formula, is used in making...you got...; Tags: Atmosphere, Carbon Dioxide, TV, Harry Fuller; Blog posts 2008-07-09
Polar warming, hot time in the Arctic Ocean: Polar warming, hot time in the Arctic OceanThey're having similar problems on Mars.Seems the polar ice caps on Mars are warming and thawing as well.It must be all of those CO2 spewing space probes we've sent there.Funny thing is...the level of CO2 in the Martian atmosphere is something to the...; Tags: global warming, carbon dioxide, ice cap; Discussion threads 2008-06-27
How long ago did we begin to disagree about global warming?: How long ago did we begin to disagree about global warming?It took Mother Nature...millions of years to lock up the carbon into fossil fuels that we have managed to release in a hundred.Nature can not fix it as fast as we are polluting it. That is the issue. Take a...; Tags: global warming, carbon dioxide; Discussion threads 2008-06-23
Vodafone's Big(ish?) Adventure: It's fun to thinkÂ of similes to categorise the headlong rush towards CO2 reductions or at least the pledges for such. I think of Vodafone's pledge ofÂ a 50% cut of the 2007 baseline by 2020 as a 'Big Adventure'. They have not yet clearly identified how they will get there yet...; Tags: Vodafone Group Plc., Carbon Dioxide, Climate Situation, Jonathon Porritt, Performance Management, Human Resources, Workforce Management, James Farrar; Blog posts 2008-06-19
Robots working 6,000 meters below sea level: MercoPress, a news agency based in Uruguay, reports that German engineers are using an aquatic robot able to work 6,000 meters below sea level. This remotely operated vehicle ROV, dubbed Kiel-6000, is operated by the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences from the University of Kiel. The robot weighs 3.5 tons...; Tags: Carbon Dioxide, Remotely Operated Vehicle, Kiel-6000, Colin Devey, Robots, Emerging Technologies, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2008-06-17

CO2 is increasing says US report, but GW doubters give raspberry: A new report based on data collected at the observatory on Mauna Loa, Hawaii, shows CO2 levels in the atmosphere are higher than they've been in a long time. How long? About 650-million years. Global warming researchers says CO2 is major greenhouse gas and contributes to warmer...; Tags: China, Carbon Dioxide, Harry Fuller; Blog posts 2008-05-12
NASA's lunar breathing system: When six astronauts share a 15 cubic meters spacecraft for weeks, how is it possible to avoid to be bothered by your fellows sweating and breathing?

Discover this: "Discover" and its own carbon footprint: "Discover" Magazine profiled their own publication's carbon footprint. Here's the whole article, a brave move not likely to be popular among mag publishers. Here's some of what they found: "Two and one-tenth pounds of carbon dioxide. That is our best estimate of what is emitted...; Tags: Carbon Dioxide, Ton, DISCOVER, Harry Fuller; Blog posts 2008-04-30
Our big carbon footprints: Our big carbon footprintsCould not any one prove many nations so?include only industrialized people?
