Comment on First Dish-Shaped Solar Reflector 1860s-1870s by Salon Denver

Salon Denver — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 12:25:02 +0000

Survivorman (the TV series) started a fire using this principle. He polished the bottom of a coke can with chocolate (yep, chocolate) and was able to use it as a parabolic mirror to concentrate the suns rays and actually created enough heat to start a fire!
I wouldn’t have believed if I didn’t see it for myself.

Las Vegas — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 11:36:45 +0000

Is this a picture of just a housing track?

To me it looks like a helicopter flying down a bussy New York city street.

Thank you for sharing,

Comment on Wind Farm in Guanting, China, is a Favorite Place for Newlyweds to Take Their Wedding Photos 2009 by Elliot

What an unusual place for someone to want to get married in. They find the wind mills beautiful for now I suppose, give it a few decades (maybe) and it won’t be so amusing.

Comment on Climate Change and Peru’s Coffee Growing Season 2008 by keurig k cup carousel

keurig k cup carousel — Sun, 03 Oct 2010 13:55:20 +0000

This is true, we have unstable seasons right now and I am afraid of what our future will be after people do more things that destroy our world. I just wonder how seasons increase the production of coffee. Does coffees production increase when temperature gets higher or lower?

Comment on 1.6 Billion People in Developing Countries Do Not Have Access to Electricity 2009 by Sven Sjostrom

Sven Sjostrom — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 21:06:10 +0000

As we move through time past the industrial revolution through to the end of the century responsible for the technology revolution. We may not realize how significant and precarious our current living conditions are placed. People born this century inevitably will have no idea that the society they are born into is living on a knife edge with regards to their basic needs. Electricity, food, shelter, water. One meteorite or solar flare and this could be gone in a flash….but people would still survive without emergency preparedness skills so this where they will suffer. If we start by not taking these things for granted and monitoring our electricity usage to understand what we do and do not need this would be a start. You can see more information under the articles section here http://polarbearplanetenterprises.com/Articles-Info.
We the care takers need to impart information to our younger generations to prepare them and make our planet a better place.

What do u think about that

This is a very interesting article as I never considered greenhouses gases to be compared with the environmental health hazards of asbestos. I have been doing some research on nanoparticles and their possible effects on human health in the future.

Comment on Arapaho Glacier 2003 and 1898 by Brian

Brian — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 18:02:32 +0000

From NASA: “The Arapaho Glacier in the Rocky Mountains in Boulder County, Colorado, has shrunk dramatically since it was photographed in 1898. Measurements collected since 1960 suggest the glacier has thinned by at least 40 meters since then; thinning between 1898 and 1960 is unknown but is probably considerably greater than 40 meters.” http://visibleearth.nasa.gov/view_rec.php?id=17241

Comment on East Antarctica Has Been Losing 57 Billion Tons of Ice Mass Per Year for the Last Three Years by Alex Mayor

Alex Mayor — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 17:17:02 +0000

How soon will it be that there is no ice anymore on Antartica? How much more do we have to mess up this world before we put a stop to this? It is sad to read that not enough people are taking the climate change a bit more serious. It will not be long until we don’t have a climate to take serious anymore…

The cost of international trains have fallen inline with competeing airlines, what more you can travel more people on a train than a plane.
