Snow Another Sign of Climate Change

Rising ocean surface temperatures caused by global warming have increased the temperature and moisture content of the air passing over the United States, thus setting the stage for heavier snow and rainstorms.
Recent cold weather and heavy snow in the United States has people thinking that climate change is not happening. They think a few cold snaps prove global warming is a hoax. Do not be fooled by these people.A few snowstorms, cold snaps or even heat waves do not prove anything about climate change, because there is a significant difference between weather and climate. Weather is what we experience on any given day or even over a couple of weeks. Climate describes a region’s prevailing conditions — including such things as temperature, rainfall, wind, humidity and atmospheric pressure — over long periods of time.
Putting aside the difference between weather and climate, climate change projections show that a warming planet generates more precipitation in areas that typically experience rain or snow. This means areas that get a lot of rain and snow will see larger more intense storms and regions that are dry such as deserts will receive less rain.
“Climate scientists aren’t at all surprised that there are more drenching rain or blizzards in certain parts of the country,” says Dr. Brenda Ekwurzel, a climate scientist with the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS). “That’s consistent with well-documented climate change trends over the past several decades. Unless we take some dramatic steps to curb global warming, we likely will see a lot more regional precipitation over the next few decades.”

How Wind Power Works

This is a nice video that gives very basic information on how wind power produces energy. The video also shows how to get information on the wind requirements needed to have a wind turbine. Wind turbines will not work everywhere so make sure you check out how much wind is needed and how tall the turbine needs to be.

Environmental Solutions

Some of the best environmental solutions in the world can be seen in use right now in Europe. The great thing about these solutions is the fact that most Europeans are happy with them.
The number one thing that comes to mind is buying food locally at local farmer markets. Look at the energy saved because it is not carried miles and miles to get to most people. A lot of these farmer markets in Europe do not use fertilizers or sprays that harm the environment and you,unlike the large industrialized food farms in America.
The Europeans draw people to live in cities rather than suburbs, where getting from one area to another is done by train. In America driving alone in a car is what most people do, which is one of the reasons that people in Europe use half as much energy per capita as Americans. They also have cars that average 30+ miles/gal.while America’s average is in the 20+mile/gal. range.
America needs a much improved transportation system and by train is an idea not new to America. It’s been done before. America has the technology to do this and many other things that can save energy and our environment.
In 2010 let’s all try in some way to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.
