Our Invisible Energy-Video

I've created a video entitled Our Invisible Energy, in the format of a pictorial tutorial, which expands on the ideas expressed in this post. 

The video makes the point that most of our uses of energy in our daily lives are second nature, so that we don't think much about them.  Nevertheless, the energy in question is mostly obtained from burning fossil fuels, thereby releasing the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Please have a look!

From 35 C to -5 C degrees in 23 hours

My dear readers, once again I apologise for taking so long to post a new publication. My travel to Brazil was very intense and in the last few weeks as imagined I just could not do another thing except enjoy my beloved ones and the warm Sea waters of João Pessoa's beaches reaching nearly 30 C degrees in very Sunny days - outside the water, temperatures went as high as 39 C degrees, that is warm! Sunset at White Cape Beach - João Pessoa, Paraiba, Brazil From Brazilian warm, colourful and vibrant Summer I got in a plane to Lisbon which was a bit lower around 11 C degrees but not as low as Amsterdam that was around 0 C degrees. When I got off the train in Groningen, North of the Netherlands Kingdom, where I happily have been living for the last year, I was surprised by a foggy -2 C degrees just 23 hours after leaving my beloved parents' home - the fastest trip ever for this route due to flights on time and etc.  Three days after the previous photo was taken, on the other side...

Americans Are Losing Sight of Global Warming as an Important Issue

Summary .     Elisabeth Rosenthal in the New York Times on Oct. 15, 2011 has documented the decreased attention that the issue of global warming is receiving in the U. S. , in contrast to the rest of the world.   The portion of Americans who believe the earth is warming fell from 79% in 2006 to 59% in 2010.   This issue breaks out along lines that follow differences between the Democratic (liberal) and Republican (conservative) parties.   This reduction in importance is so even though the U. S. is a major world emitter of greenhouse gases.   According to the article, many aspects of individual and corporate attitudes reinforce America ’s reluctance to embrace global warming as an important issue.   In contrast, nations of the remainder of the world, including Europe , China , and other developing countries, accept that global warming is an important issue facing the world, and are implementing policies to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.

Fossil Fuels and Global Warming: Video

I've created a video entitled “ Does Burning Fossil Fuels Cause Global Warming? ”. It’s a pictorial examination of the relationship between fossil fuel use, carbon dioxide increase, and increased long-term global average temperature. It presents experimental data showing that a) the long-term global average temperature is increasing, b) the atmospheric CO 2 level is increasing, c) the increased CO 2 originates from burning fossil fuels, and d) burning fossil fuels is a major factor directly contributing to global warming. Please have a look! 　 This video is the third in a series that also includes             Our Invisible Energy  a nd            Light and Heat - The Greenhouse Effect . 　 © 2012 Henry Auer
