Corrupt Politics is Covering Up the Truth About Global Warming

Another Figure speaking up against coverup!

James Hansen, head of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, is widely respected as one of the world’s leading climate scientists. He says the public is being lied to and duped by special interest groups about the severity of the threat that global warming poses. He also claims that policy makers and big oil executives are sacrificing public interest to line their own pockets.

“The problem is not political will, it’s the alligator shoes – the lobbyists. It’s the fact that money talks in Washington, and that democracy is not working the way it’s intended to work,” says Hansen.

Hansen told US Congress earlier this week that CO2 is already almost certainly at unsafe levels, and the situation will only become more dangerous the longer we continue to largely ignore the problem. Currently, CO2 concentration is 385 parts per million and is rising by 2ppm a year.

Talks Al Gore: New thinking on the climate crisis

In Al Gore’s brand-new slideshow (premiering exclusively on TED.com), he presents evidence that the pace of climate change may be even worse than scientists were recently predicting, and challenges us to act with a sense of “generational mission” — the kind of feeling that brought forth the civil rights movement — to set it right. Gore’s stirring presentation is followed by a brief Q&A in which he is asked for his verdict on the current political candidates’ climate policies and on what role he himself might play in future.

Proof of global warming.

This is definitively a proof of global warming.

Rapid and Decisive Solution of the World Energy Crisis and Global Warming by Tom Bearden

A new 51 page Briefing from Tom Bearden, entitled “Rapid and Decisive Solution of the World Energy Crisis and Global Warming” can be downloaded from The Tom Bearden Website at http://cheniere.org/articles/index.html

We are also saddened to announce the passing of Magnets pioneer Howard Johnson on 2nd January, 2008, aged 88.

A retrospective can be seen at http://cheniere.org/misc/johnson.htm

An extended interview with Howard, and a conducted tour of his Lab, will be featured in an upcoming “Energy from the Vacuum”TM Episode.

New Technology Captures CO2 Safely & Permanently

Imagine taking the main culprit in global warming and converting it into safe and usable commercial products. It may sound too good to be true, but it will soon be a reality.

New cutting-edge technology that ‘captures’ polluting carbon dioxide and binds it permanently will soon be underway at a new research center at The University of Nottingham in the UK.

The Centre for Innovation in Carbon Capture and Storage (CICCS) has a principle mission to develop technologies that can trap and store greenhouse gases permanently, so that the emissions can never be released into the atmosphere.

One of the technologies that the Centre will work on uses a natural process in conjunction with silicate-based rocks such as serpentine, which is found in large enough quantities, and in the right places, to store all the CO2 produced by the combustion of the entire world’s known fossil fuel reserves.

The CO2 extracted from burning coal is put into a reactor with the rocks and through a chemical reaction. The serpentine binds the carbon dioxide to itself, ‘locking it in’ permanently. This reaction does occur in nature — only far more slowly, taking place over eons of time.

Once the process is fully developed, it is estimated that the locking of CO2 will take place within minutes.

The end product is a mineral such as magnesite, which can be used as aggregates for road-building or shaped into bricks for construction. Carbon dioxide makes up 40 per cent of its weight and it would take 1,500 times more space to store the same amount in gas form.

Compared to other proposed processes for carbon storage, such as burying carbon under the sea, once the CO2 is locked inside the rock by the CICCS process, it is contained for good and cannot go back to its previous state. This is of paramount importance as ensuring the permanent storage of the CO2 has been the most controversial issue in carbon storage.

As an added bonus, the end result is a commercial product. Fossil fuel power plants could utilize the new process by adding a reactor to their emissions treatment system, allowing CO2 to be turned into useful building materials. The Centre’s ultimate goal will be to sign collaborative agreements with power and construction companies to move forward with commercialization of the technology.

The processes developed by the Centre will also be attractive to oil producers, chemical manufacturers and other energy-intensive industries in the UK that have a role to play in helping the meet the 2050 target of 60% reduction below 1990 levels.

European nations have been front-runners in the attempt to counter-act global warming by encouraging green lifestyles and requiring corporate environmental responsibility. The US is the world’s biggest CO2 emitter per capita, with Australia and Canada as runner-ups.

This might be a short-term solution, but we need to get rid of the internal combustion engines, or at least, provide with a quick addition to these engines so they stop polluting so much.

This is where Aero2012 will be leading us, with modules that can be attached easily to cars and trucks first, then coming with a full scale replacement, so things can be implemented smoothly.

An Inconvenient Truth

Humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb. If the vast majority of the world’s scientists are right, we have just ten years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tail-spin of epic destruction involving extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and killer heat waves beyond anything we have …more
