Raindrop of knowledge about global warming - SeptemberPolar ice is melting more rapidly than anyone had initially predicted, and the terrestrial ice sheet of Greenland is melting and expected to raise sea levels. Right now the ice on Greenland covers 1.7 million square kilometers. A new study by researchers led by University of Wisconsin-Madison geologist Anders Carlson found that the conservative sea level rise estimates by the IPCC of 1 to 4 inches over the next century could actually be three times higher. Even slight rises in sea level are concerning because the majority of the Earth's population live along coasts. So much for that expenisve Florida real estate. The full article about sea level rise and the Greenland ice sheet is at this page of ScienceDaily. |

About this Global Warming website
This website seeks to present facts about global warming so as to impress upon people the seriousness of the environmental situation on the Earth. Human activities are having a terrible impact upon our environment, including a rise in average global temperature called global warming or climate change.Leaving the human causes of global warming debate aside, the fact remains that our primary methods of getting energy from fossil fuels are horrendously polluting and unhealthy. Car exhaust has chemicals in common with cigarrette smoke, but no one has a choice about being exposed to car exhaust. Coal power plants spew mercury into the environment along with carbon dioxide that contributes to the apparently hazardous warming of the Earth.
Along with alarming facts about global warming, this website also offers practical information and advice for individuals and businesses who want to reduce their carbon dioxide footprint on the environment. The devastating effects of our overly polluted existence cannot be ignored, and waiting for governments to take actions has proved to be a long wait indeed. People need to reduce their pollution right now through better choices. Ultimately, governments do what people do.

Shocking videos of the environmental cost of coal and oil
The province of Alberta, Canada possesses huge amounts of oil deposited in tar sands. Extracting the petroleum from these deposits is difficult and requires polluting whole rivers. Also to access the deposits forests are ripped up.
Go to the Alberta oil video page to view what $3.00 + a gallon gas is buying for the Earth.
After most of us pull in the driveway and turn off our gasoline combustion engines, we go into the house and turn on the lights, that are more often than not powered with electricity from coal. In West Virginia in the United States entire mountains are blown apart and valleys filled in to extract coal. The hills of West Virginia and its biologically diverse forests are being turned into bleak rubble for what is touted by energy companies as "cheap electricity."
Go to the mountain top removal coal mining video page to see the environmental horrors inflicted on the people of West Virginia and the Appalachians.
