Due to life changing events, Climate Guy will be on hiatus for a few days.
I think this is a good enough excuse, don't you? My son. Handsome little guy. Mom and baby are doing well. Now, this makes my mission to raise awareness and combat Climate Change even more important. I take my responsibility to leave the planet better than I found it for my little boy seriously. You don't have to like Whitney Houston to agree that children are our future. But what kind of future they will have is up to us.
While I am away, take a look back through some of my more popular posts from the past 10 months. You can find the links on the right hand side of this page. Be sure to leave a comment. You can also follow Climate Guy 73 by signing up on the right.
Thanks to Sven T. Veital @tveital for posting this photo on Twitter yesterday. http://thkpr.gs/3657220 I like The Netherlands more and more every time I see things like this. It just makes sense.
Our friends in Holland seem to get it when it comes to renewables, don't they? When your home is being inundated by rising seas, I guess it raises awareness about global warming and climate change. This solar road is a first generation energy producer and it can power a house for a year. Just imagine how much better this tech will be in a few years when it can be improved upon? Who says solar energy can't power our lives right now? Oh, right, the Fossil Fuel Industry.
These solar roads are also easy to install because the main infrastructure is already in place. (What countries don't already have roads?) Soon, streets can be turned into power generators, providing energy for homes and businesses in the immediate vicinity. Winning!
Did I mention that the Netherlands is in the Northern latitudes? Think of what solar roads will do for places closer to the equator. Places like the American Southwest, Central America, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, India...
Clean energy is a reality, one that we no longer have to wait for to make a clean energy future. And save the planet at the same time. Winning!
Dear Senator Inhofe: CO2 is good for sodas, not for maintaining a healthy biosphere. You say CO2 is necessary to grow things, yet you fail to realize that too much is detrimental. Don't believe me? Well, oxygen is essential for humans to live, but too much oxygen and one little spark and ...BOOOOOOOM! It can explode. Oxygen doesn't sound so good in that case, does it?
Or how about sugar? Sugar (or glucose) is necessary for our bodies to metabolize and go about its daily routine. Its the source of energy that life requires to, well, live! Without it, our cells would die, and so would we. While sugar is essential to our very existence, our bodies cannot handle too much sugar. Too much sugar can cause people to get really fat. Or develop diabetes. The body’s routine functions become seriously impeded with too much sugar, and over a long period of time can lead to serious health concerns or even death! Did you know that?
How about Red Wine? Studies have shown that Red Wine has some very beneficial components that can help our bodies. Many doctors say that a glass of wine with dinner can flush the body of toxins, promote heart health and keep our arteries clear. But if you drink too much wine, you can get intoxicated. Being drunk can cause you to stumble around, knock shit over and yack in the toilet. And when you wake up in the morning after a night of wine-drinking, the headaches can be wicked! Kind of like what the human race will feel like when we wake up one morning after all of this binging on oil.
