Climate Changer

Producing “clean energy” from the Sun is an option, which everyone of us must consider for future because of its renewable status. Scientist from Neuchatel’s Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology has designed a floating solar island that will produce both electricity and hydrogen using solar power. And even better is that the first $5 million, 100-meter-wide island is set to be deployed in Ras al Khaimah, one of the United Arab Emirates.

Volvo with their busy looking at other types of renewable energy sources for trucks for sure deserve our applause. The recent demonstration of new generation trucks which the Swedish vehicle manufacturer says are carbon-dioxide free needs to be considered as attempt in right direction by other truck manufacturers, especially by those in US. Volvo produced seven trucks equipped with Volvo’s own 9-liter engines, modified to operate on seven different types of renewable liquid and gaseous fuels. Volvo said that these trucks can “be operated on a number of different renewable fuels and/or combinations of fuels: biodiesel, biogas combined with biodiesel, ethanol/methanol, DME, synthetic diesel and hydrogen gas combined with biogas.”

I just saw very interested video that shows Sydney Inundation and how Sea Level Rises video made in Google Earth on carbonplanet.com.

The author said : I received an email the other day from Rex Rowley at Haskell Indian Nations University and the University of Kansas who pointed me to the work they have been doing with sea level rise mapping. They have Google Earth streaming data files for sea level rises of 1 to 6 meters. Their original data is red so I had to use Photoshop to make it a more pleasing blue tone, and then decided I may as well animate it together with an ominous soundtrack. I’ll make a few more of these in other cities. If anyone wants the high-res versions I’ll happily send it to you.
