Global Warming and what you can do to against it

Dear All,
As you know global warming is endangering the future of life on the
planet. It will also affect us;
rising sea levels, dwindling water supplies, mass deaths due to heat
waves, stoppage of the gulfstream, which
brings milder climate to north of Europe, super hurricanes, less food
due to droughts are some of the effects.
As you also know global warming is produced due to CO2 emissions
coming from burning of fossil fuels. So what
can every single person do to reduce global warming ?


1) Insulation: Do you know that you can save 50% of heating energy
(and money) by insulation ? Especially in
the times the financial crisis, you can make the insulation cheaper
and save the money when oil, natural gas and
coal prices are higher due to higher demand. What needs to be
insulated ? Firstly the Roof, since warmer air
goes up, then the windows (tripple glass or at least dual glass and
shutters for additional insulation at night,
and in summer time), then the outer walls. Also small cracks, leaks in
weatherstrips etc should be eliminated.
An infrared inspection of your house for heat losses would be the best
way to find out what else can be done.
A wintergarden will help heating your house additionally in winter
time.

2) Using rechargable batteries instead of alkaline batteries, and
charge them during less demand ours like at night
will also save a lot of energy and money.

3) Lightning; the use of Compact fluorescent lamps instead of
traditioanl light bulbs will save 80% of energy, the
use of very new LED lamps will save even more.

4) Buying local. Most of the energy is spent for transportation of
imported goods, especially food. By buying local
made food you not only save a lot of energy, but also create more jobs
at home.

5) Heating; there are several way to save energy and money by changing
the heating method; you can use the free heat
of the nature by adding a solar thermal equipment to heat the water
for taking showers and also to heat your home.
Additionally you can use a heating pump, which funtions like a reverse
fridge; it takes the heat of the outside and
transfers it to your home. You use much much less energy to do this
(electricity to pump a liquid).

6) Your car; by buying a hybrid car you save 30% of fuel, by
converting your car to CNG (compressed natural gas) you
can save a lot of CO2, since CNG has much less carbon but more
hydrogen, which will result in water (CH4 instead of
C8H18). CNG will also result in much more energy output per mass. The
conversion is not very expensive. It is totally
save, since the storage has to resist a certain pressure.
Of course there are also other smaller things you have to consider:
- Each 60 pounds increases fuel consumption by 10%.
- Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration, and hard braking)
wastes gas. It can lower your highway gas mileage
33% and city mileage 5%.
- Drive at lowest and constant rpms; 2000 rpm are enough; you can save
up to 30%. Even a Porsche can be driven at the
4th gear at 20 mph and at the 6th gear at 50 mph with 2.5 times less
fuel consumption.
- Avoid high speeds. Driving 75 mph, rather than 65 mph, could cut
your fuel economy by 15%.
- Use air conditioning only when necessary
- Keep tires properly inflated and aligned to improve your gasoline
mileage by around 3.3%.
- Replace clogged air filters to improve gas mileage by as much as 10%
and protect your engine
- Combine errands into one trip. Several short trips, each one taken
from a cold start, can use twice as much fuel as
one trip covering the same distance when the engine is warm. Do not
forget that in the first mile your car uses 8
times more fuel, in the second mile 4 times and only after the
fourth mile it becomes normal

7) Buying A++ or A+++ equipments. The extra money you pay for this
will be back in 1-2 years. It will save a lot of CO2.

8) Try to save also energy at your job; you can do it by insulation,
more efficient processes, heat recovery, more
efficient pumps/engines, low temperature processses, material
saving, water savings, optimization, automatic turning
off of unnecessary energy using processes, control if some
processes are really necessary (the change of some
processes makes other processes sometimes unnecesarry on which
nobody has thought about).

9) Solar cells for your own home; at the moment solar cells are very
cheap since there is an overproduction. These cells
can operate a fridge for example.

Regards.

Not true.

The recent release of old emails between NWO scientists showing the
deception that they have been playing against the world's population finally
brings the truth to the fore. The Global Warming crowd are simply displaced
thugs whose desire for one world government - of the enslaving kind - leaves
no doubt in rational minds that these idiots and their false religion must
be put down at all costs.

Wow. Two plonks in a row.

Fortunately this has been shown to be false, so no need to panic about
it.
Dont be the last one to find this out, you will just look like a
moron.

Absolutely nothing. No way on earth you can stop a natural process.
You can however stop promoting rubbish like carbon pollution,
man made global warming etc, and by this alone you can do your bit to
stop bottom feeders (gore and other politicians for example) profiting
from it - stealing directly out of you and your family's pocket and
your future.

If you still want to believe in AGW, then feel free to spend this
money on your own ways to reduce energy consumption. That is your
right. Dont dare FORCE others to do the same.

I do agree however that saving energy is a good idea, there are many
easy and cheap way to do so, if you can do more for less it saves
money and that allows you to potentially have a higher amount of funds
to spend on other things, or save, invest.


1) Insulation: Do you know that you can save 50% of heating energy
(and money) by insulation ? Especially in
the times the financial crisis, you can make the insulation cheaper
and save the money when oil, natural gas and

Depending on climate it is a good idea.

2) Using rechargable batteries instead of alkaline batteries, and
charge them during less demand ours like at night
will also save a lot of energy and money.

Remember that some rechargeables are 1.2v VS 1.5v, this may be a
problem
with some equipment.

I have had success with these newer 2000MAH AA L Ion cells, when
used with the proper charger.
They don't last for as many charges as they claim, but even if they
last for 50 or so is a worthwhile saving of money.

Running things directly off mains power rather than battery will be
more efficient (if possible).


3) Lightning; the use of Compact fluorescent lamps instead of
traditioanl light bulbs will save 80% of energy, the
use of very new LED lamps will save even more.

Straight 2" and 4" fluro tubes ( that have been used for decades)
(better still the new T5 Fluorescent fittings, and/or triphosphor
tubes) use even less power than CFL and give more USABLE light.
Retrofitting with electronic ballasts can save a few watts of power
(and heat).

A lot of what is said about CFL's is false and they are not the
universal answer (though they are good in some cases). Please read
this technical article on the matter.

4) Buying local. Most of the energy is spent for transportation of
imported goods, especially food. By buying local
made food you not only save a lot of energy, but also create more jobs
at home.

Very little is made locally (if you are referring to western
countries). Food I agree with if the quality is there and the price is
value for money.

One case where you should NOT buy locally is western made cars
compared to asian imports (japan etc).
Western cars in my experience generally have worse build quality,
outdated design and technology, higher price, less efficiency, lower
life, lower resale values than most Japanese (and even korean) brands.
This is bad for all of us, and "the environment".

5) Heating; there are several way to save energy and money by changing
the heating method; you can use the free heat
of the nature by adding a solar thermal equipment to heat the water
for taking showers and also to heat your home.
Additionally you can use a heating pump, which funtions like a reverse
fridge; it takes the heat of the outside and
transfers it to your home. You use much much less energy to do this
(electricity to pump a liquid).

Heat pump is indeed the most efficient way to provide heat from
electricity that I am aware of.

6) Your car; by buying a hybrid car you save 30% of fuel, by
converting your car to CNG (compressed natural gas) you
can save a lot of CO2, since CNG has much less carbon but more
hydrogen, which will result in water (CH4 instead of
C8H18). CNG will also result in much more energy output per mass. The
conversion is not very expensive. It is totally
save, since the storage has to resist a certain pressure.

Since its now widely known that carbon pollution is a hoax, the amount
of carbon emitted
doesn't matter anymore.

Hybrids cost much more to buy over equivalent normal cars, the extra
cost is much more than the likely fuel savings over the life. The
batteries used are a shocking pollutant, don't usually have a long
life, and high cost.
Buying a very efficient normal car is a much better way to save fuel
and cost in my opinion.

Of course there are also other smaller things you have to consider:
- Each 60 pounds increases fuel consumption by 10%.

- Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration, and hard braking)
wastes gas. It can lower your highway gas mileage
33% and city mileage 5%.

It can, dont know the exact figures though.

- Drive at lowest and constant rpms; 2000 rpm are enough; you can save
up to 30%. Even a Porsche can be driven at the
4th gear at 20 mph and at the 6th gear at 50 mph with 2.5 times less
fuel consumption.

- Avoid high speeds. Driving 75 mph, rather than 65 mph, could cut
your fuel economy by 15%.

In practice with modern cars in my experience it makes no noticeable
difference
Around here you are more likely to cause an accident, aggravation or
be a victim of road rage
if you were to try doing that on a main road.

- Use air conditioning only when necessary

Car Air conditioning uses less fuel than the aerodynamic drag caused
by open windows, especially in modern
cars where aerodynamics are an extremely important part of the design
to improve fuel efficiency.

If you are driving slowly the aerodynamic losses will be less, but you
probably wont be getting much airflow either. If its in traffic, the
outside air will be hot, probably full of exhaust fumes, in this case
using aircon with vents closed is probably whats needed.

- Keep tires properly inflated and aligned to improve your gasoline
mileage by around 3.3%.

It does help, also makes them last longer and grip better.

- Replace clogged air filters to improve gas mileage by as much as 10%
and protect your engine

true - dont know exact figures though

- Combine errands into one trip. Several short trips, each one taken
from a cold start, can use twice as much fuel as
one trip covering the same distance when the engine is warm. Do not
forget that in the first mile your car uses 8
times more fuel, in the second mile 4 times and only after the
fourth mile it becomes normal


Dont know about the figures accuracy, but stuff like repeated short
trips isn't good for the engine, it should
be regularly driven for long enough (20-30 min) to heat up the oil
enough to burn off the crap that accumulates
in it if it doesn't get warm. This crap becomes acidic and damages
your engine if not burnt off. Same with exhaust systems I have found
that if they regularly get hot enough, it gets rid of the condensation
etc that causes corrosion.

Repeated short trips probably increase damage via metal fatigue from
the metal expanding and contracting many times where on a long trip,
this will only happen at start up and when stopped.

7) Buying A++ or A+++ equipments. The extra money you pay for this
will be back in 1-2 years. It will save a lot of CO2.

??????????


8) Try to save also energy at your job; you can do it by insulation,
more efficient processes, heat recovery, more
efficient pumps/engines, low temperature processses, material

off of unnecessary energy using processes, control if some
