I think that it's very important to note that global WARMING isn't the only result of climate change. As Meier's 1951 (and other) prophetic writings clearly spell out, great storms, blizzards, etc. will also be among the consequences. So, when know-it-alls point to all of the cold weather and huge snows to refute global warming, you can point to Meier's specific, accurate predictions about the full range of effects of climate change.

Earthling: as Michael Horn already noted, the 75% are most likely referring to the whole range of weather aberrations which are designated as climate change, not just the global warming.

Hi All....

Yes, I understand what is meant. China also being a culprit. But, I/media was
mentioning in the sense Australia being of the center of attention, and which
still has to be resolved; they seemed to have been hiding in the corner, or
something, all this time. And NOW...they are in the spot light!!

Even the White House...and region is still hooked on Coal!! Thus: Washington
is just as guilty!

Hi Justsayno....

Of, course not! You have to insure it before that, occurs!!

You can obtain such insurgence here, in the country I live in, under - Damage
due to Natural Forces, or related causalities. [Different packets..each
different possibilities....]

Hi Michael, I only pointed out the severe weather to make people understand why others do not buy into global warming. Some people actually think that because it's cold, global warming would be an improvement. Isn't it better to understand what other people are thinking instead of claiming that they're all being bought off by oil and gas companies?
Who exactly is the biggest contributor to global warming? Why it's your own military.

Since you hurt my feelings, Michael, by calling me a know-it-all I'm just wondering if your multinational peace keeping troops are going to be using oil and gas with their peace keeping machinery?

Justsayno,

I didn't have you in mind at all. I was referring to the media types and conservative mouthpieces who try to mock the whole climate change debate by focusing on attacking the global warming element by pointing to the extreme cold, snows, etc. If they had read Meier's info they would have seen the whole piicture.

This is a link to an article on Yahoo about the effect of pets on the environment. It mentions that pets are worse than SUVs for their carbon footprint which I believe was mentioned also in the contact notes...

Were all guilty, because were all using electricity, gas, petrol, cars, etc etc. I know that there arnt any alternatives (appart from solar energy etc), but we must make changes to our lives to make the first step, and until we do, then nothing will change. I know it sounds defetest but isnt this the case?

Hi Michael....


Yes, very true!

And not to forget, that the Core Heat of Earth is also contributing, to this
all. [Well alive....and kicking; Mother Earth's cycles just continues..as
usual!!! The Nature of Nature....]

NATURE, does her part (through her Natural Processings), as well as MAN with
his Stupidious Ignoramus Actions, which Causes (additional)...devastating
effects.

There is also hydro-energy and energy from the wind...

The problem are the corporations who do not want to turn to these kind of energy productions since oil is the most "sure" and a lot of investment exist in this already.

The movie "Who killed the electric car" is a great example of this.

Hi Adrian, hydro energy destroys acres of land and wind energy is good if you have large amounts of wind. The electric car would never be reliable in -40 temperatures. Not to be a downer, but there has to be more...how about that infrared heating system, that looks good, but also needs electricity.
New innovations which have come along are being snapped up by the military and other defence contractors. So I guess we are relying on them as to whether or not they're going to let us in on their technology.
Isn't the next step electron energy? Those LED lights don't seem to put off much heat, so I don't know.

Sorry Michael, I understand that it is frustrating. It's easy to point fingers at a certain group and say they're all like that, but there are reasons for it. I would love it if they shut down the tar sands so we could all go back to being farmers again. But the tar sands produce 4% of our total emissions but was held up as the poster child at Copenhagen. So that's why I'm a little cranky, because my province was portrayed by greenpeace and the like as some evil doer. I'm pretty sure that Toronto gives off more emissions than the tar sands, as does any other major city in North America.

Hi Jusytsayno,

We had an opportunity to have better sources from Nikola Tesla, but the greedy companies did not see it that way. I rather deal with an electric car.

" The electric car would never be reliable in -40 temperatures."

-40 Fahrenheit or Celsius?

I'm sure if engineers were to focus on electric cars, it would be much more reliable than it is believed to be.

its called theridium(sp?) it generates electricity in cold. colder it is more it produces.

Hi Darren,

Enjoyed the documentry thank you.

Solar cells with this kind of thing might be quite useful... we have to watch out using water for fuel... It could be detrimental to people composed of water and who like to drink it like us.

There is a Japanese company called Genpax.com who has a fuel cell that can use tea or salt water for the fuel but I noticed it is sort of shunned by the "scientific" community... that would make it less detrimental to our limited water resources.

I like Arthur C. Clarks' four stages of any revolutionary scientific idea:

1.) That's impossible don't waste your time on it.

2.) It's interesting but not important.

3.) I always said it was a good idea.

4.) I thought of it...

In India there was a big talk of a air-run car which would run on compressed air. The news came out in 2007 that an agreement has been signed between MDI (a French company) and TATA (the same Indian company which has developed the cheapest passenger car NANO and also now owns Jaguar-Land Rover) to jointly develop the commercial version from the prototype. The working prototype was designed by Guy Negre and commercial variant was to come out in 2008.
Refer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_Development_International

Now they are telling that the car has problem starting and it may never be possible to get the car in the market. How come a car whose technology was trusted enough that a commercial variant was possible in a year, and that has been test driven by experts, could suddenly develop a starting problem?

Even though this car is not zero polluter; since it required electricity to pump in the air - it could have gone a long way in moving away the pollution from the city to the power plants where appropriate measures to produce clean energy could have been easier to take.

I wonder why these kind of technology are not supported rather they talk about cleaner variants of fossil fuel, carbon seeding, CO2 off-setting, stricter pollution norms for vehicles and other crap. Obviously there seems to be a strong petro lobby in every country who are bent on leeching the last drop of liquified dead plants and animals from the earth. Its really worrying that a non-fossil fuel car fails to find suitable backers in developing countries like India, where fuel import bill is astronomical. No wonder there is tougher resistance in petro-economies where stakes are even higher.

Hi Rarena,

I'm glad you liked it! It's about 4-5 year old now but still a goodie.

Yep, Arthur C. Clarks was right/good with that at start of video! :-)

hi all. Peace.

http://danieldingel.com/watercar or http://www.youtube.com/v/KMXz6XEXKns&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6

this guy a philippino Mr Daniel Dingel uses a water car on his daily life, but presidents of his country have denied support due to Philippines' allegiance to NATO.

Personally, I am converting a normal petrol motorbike to electric (http://vipglobal-asia.blogspot.com/), which I will finish in January/ February (when more funds come in), but I am doing the "normal" conversion, meaning, charge batteries, run the bike until the batteries are depleted, start over..

the next step for me, the biggest for this project to work better, not connecting to grid, would be either a chemical reaction like explained by Nikola Tesla, that outputs lots of electric power, or something like on this document I found:

http://www.mullerpower.com/Srinivasan/Secret_Of_Sankhya_Part_2.pdf

that talks about a battery system that can reflux the power back and forth, and still provide useable energy for a motor, etc, it would be interesting to test it

your comments are welcome as always

BTW: on my project I bought a very large electric motor, I have already thought on improvements, in 2010, but I guess I have to see it running first before I make improvements, like smaller motor of similar power, etc..
