The amount of CO2 humans actually exhale is quite significant; assuming that about 450ml/min of CO2 are expired per person per minute – this means the net CO2 respired (CO2 produced by respiration) is around 400ml; 1g of CO2 has a volume of 556ml. Therefore 400ml has a mass of 0.72g (0.0016 lbs). Therefore in [...]

States’ climate change lawsuit blocked – Primed by various radical environmentalist groups, several US states were trying to use the courts to force energy producers to put out less CO2. The Supremes threw the suit out as a nuisance, and James Hansen goes to plan B. Settled Science – A tale of two papers; CO2 [...]
I wonder when the shoe will drop and large environmental groups will sheepishly divest themselves from the global warming industrial-state complex? Not soon enough. One day they will be embarrassed that they spent so much effort on saving the planet from global warming, patently to keep themselves well-funded, so that REAL environmental problems were overlooked.

BY Starre Vartan, Mother Nature Network The numbers are in. In the United States, which contains 8 percent of the world’s forests, there are more trees than there were 100 years ago. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), "Forest growth nationally has exceeded harvest since the 1940s. By 1997, forest growth exceeded [...]
(Willis Eschenbach) Watts Up With That There’s two numbers of interest – how much will it cost to reduce CO2 emissions, and how much will the decreased CO2 reduce the temperature? First, the cost … truth is, no one knows. These things are hard to estimate. I took the EPA figures. They say that [...]
(By Matthew Kennard, Financial Times) Greenhouse gas emissions in the US dropped to their lowest level in 15 years in 2009 as the impact of the financial crisis led to decreases in fuel and electricity consumption, according to newly published figures.
Sandia National Laboratories researchers are moving into the demonstration phase of a novel gas turbine system for power generation, with the promise that thermal-to-electric conversion efficiency will be increased to as much as 50 percent — an improvement of 50 percent for nuclear power stations equipped with steam turbines, or a 40 percent improvement for [...]
