Default 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.

Default Global Warming and what you can do to against it

Heat pumps would lead to a massive increase in the demand on coal
powered fire stations. Or massively increase the demand for nuclear
power stations to be built. Heat pumps use electricity with a very
poor COP in any but very mild climates. The rest of the time they are
no better than very expensive electric heating. They would often be
used to provide greater comfort in houses without adequate insulation
and probably used for air conditioning in warm weather. Air
conditioning is horribly inefficient via a heat pump and is an
increased demand on energy production which did not exist before.

Hybrid cars improve on nothing which electric cars, charged overnight
by wind power, can manage with one hand behind their back. Hybrid cars
still use oil which props up the vilest dictators on the planet who in
turn fund global terrorism with Western oil money. Removing the energy
consumed globally in fighting terrorism/wars would save building quite
a few nuclear power stations or close polluting coal fired examples.

Only the insulation of the world's housing stock would increase
comfort levels without increasing energy production and CO2. Presently
great numbers of elderly people in Europe die of cold and heat. This
is a good thing, as far as European governments are concerned, because
it reduces the demand for state pensions which can be better spent on
open-ended, tax payer subsidised, defence contracts. These taxpayers
have already paid for their pensions so it leaves a nice profit if
they die early which the government can then spend on defence.

A solar conservatory is a CO2 producer due to the nature of its raw
materials. Unless it is built in a climate with a guaranteed winter
sunshine regime it will greatly increase demand for energy without
ever paying back the CO2 in savings on home heating.

An attic full of insulation is not adequate home insulation. It
achieves very little in real terms unless the insulation is extended
to the walls and preferably the floors. An attic is often placed over
unheated bedrooms so the energy savings are often far lower than
hoped. An insulating collar can be applied to the surrounding ground
to a considerable depth with suitable drainage to reduce losses
through floors ut the work is expensive and disruptive.. Most
insulation is heavily reliant on high energy usage in its production.

The irony is that insulating the present housing stock would massively
reduce energy demand and offer levels of human comfort completely
unheard of historically. Fitting external insulation, to use the built
structure as a heat sink, requires some skill and a vast workforce. In
times of a critical demand for CO2/energy reduction and high
unemployment home insulation offers many benefits and few side
effects. So, how many governments are organising and subsidising home
insulation?

Architects are the greatest hurdle to improved home and office
insulation. Their arrogant record of ignoring the most basic rules for
human comfort are written all over the landscape. These charlatans
continue to build aquaria which rocket and plummet in temperature with
the season. Hang all the architects for their crimes against humanity
and simultaneously save the world!

Close all the supermarkets with their global movements of substandard
products to maximise their profits at the expense of the globe and
the human race as a whole.

Stop trading with any country which continues to use coal for energy
production without offering universal home insulation to its people.

Energy usage shackles "workers" to utterly pointless, wasteful jobs
to be able to afford their quarterly energy bills and fuel bills for
commuting. Just imagine the constructive things they could do (like
insulating buildings) instead of just moving money around the global
system, using an inefficient, energy guzzling computer keyboard as a
paddle.

Yada, yada, yada... and yet you left out tips on how to make one's
limo, yacht, heated pool, and private jet more "green." Or how by
closing off some of those extra rooms in a 20-room mansion you can
save tens of thousands per year in power and heating bills.

And nuclear power stations is what we should be building as fast as we
can !! Clean energy, and employment of skilled labor. A win win situation.

Why is it so many environmentalists are against clean nuclear power ?



Hybrid cars improve on nothing which electric cars,



And making the batteries for both is an incredibly pollution intensive
process...




Presently
great numbers of elderly people in Europe die of cold and heat. This
is a good thing, as far as European governments are concerned,




It is not a good thing.

But then the record of europeans caring for human life has been dismal
in the past... (look at everywhere they've gone and raped the land of
resources and people...)

There is a company in the Carolinas that produces wood houses that are
basically a house within a house. Kinda like a big cooler. It goes
together with screws for the most part, and the insulation value is way
beyond present houses.

Also geo thermal heat sinks is another idea.



Close all the the supermarkets with their global movements of substandard
products to maximise their profits at the expense of the globe and
the human race as a whole.



That will NOT happen ! People want their stuff, and you can't keep them
from getting it. Sorry.......

Unless you want to abolish the Constitution. You are talking
totalitarianism here. That is NOT right !

We live in a republic in the US. And it's a free market society.
If you make a product that is popular with a LOT of people, it will
sell, even if it's not a green product. Same with job's. Do something a
lot of people want/enjoy, you will have success and make lot's of $$
Thats the way it works.


Stop trading with any country which continues to use coal for energy
production without offering universal home insulation to its people.



Again, that will not happen.......



Energy usage shackles "workers" to utterly pointless, wasteful jobs



And there a lot of people who like those job's. Far be it for me or
others to tell them what to do for a living.

Lack of air conditioning is enervating; and, in any case, if energy is
produced by nuclear power instead of by burning coal, the amount of
energy consumed is irrelevant to carbon production.

Hybrid cars improve on nothing which electric cars, charged overnight
by wind power, can manage with one hand behind their back.


Hybrid cars at least only require a reasonable amount of battery
power, given current technology - if it is a given that new cars must
be able, for safety reasons, to compete in mass and acceleration with
existing gasoline-powered cars. Fossil fuels store energy much more
efficiently and cheaply than batteries.

If we reduce the amount of energy required for personal transportation
by letting electric cars use the bicycle lanes, in effect, though,
then all-electric cars could use lead-acid batteries and have enough
mileage for trips out of the city. That will be more difficult to
achieve politically, however.

Removing the energy
consumed globally in fighting terrorism/wars would save building quite
a few nuclear power stations or close polluting coal fired examples.


Buying less oil won't automatically achieve this immediately.

The irony is that insulating the present housing stock would massively
reduce energy demand and offer levels of human comfort completely
unheard of historically.


Better insulation is a good idea; I know that in Canada our government
did provide tax incentives for homeowners to insulate better.
Unfortunately, this resulted in many putting in forms of insulation
that turned out to emit toxic gases. Then there's the radon problem.

Energy usage shackles "workers" to utterly pointless, wasteful *jobs
to be able to afford their quarterly energy bills and fuel bills for
commuting. Just imagine the constructive things they could do (like
insulating buildings) instead of just moving money around the global
system, using an inefficient, energy guzzling computer keyboard as a

Construction workers who insulate buildings do not have better, more
fulfilling, and better paying jobs than stockbrokers. Nor do computer
keyboards use great amounts of energy.

Did I say they were fulfilling? I only suggested their insulating work
would be far more useful than sitting in an office pretending to be
working. Fulfilling is a highly variable term where work is concerned.
One man's vocation is another's misery.

The internet and computer construction and their use is a massive
guzzler of energy globally. There is even talk of moving major servers
to cold climates, like Iceland, to reduce their considerable cooling
costs. The keyboard is just the ergonomically inhuman interface. Once
considered a tool only useful for low paid, working class women of
relatively low intelligence. Mankind has bent over backwards to learn
the QWERTY keyboard because computers were too dumb to understand
useful commands in any other way. And man was too dumb to come up
with any other way of talking to idiot computers.

If we took all the actions you listed, what would the percentage
reduction of world wide CO2 emissions be? How much would that reduce
global warming?
