The Terminator takes on GlobalWarming

The California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is taking a firm stand in the fight against global warming. Approximately 8.000 people every year die from diseases caused by the bad environment. Steps have been taken to change these horrific numbers, but there is still a lot to be done. One major problem is the almost 30 million cars in California alone. People need to be convinced to switch to transportation that runs on alternative fuels, such as E85 and natural gas.

Other problems include wild fires, earthquakes and floodings. Perhaps not something we can do much about, but by decreasing our own pollution it will certainly make a difference.

Does planting trees fight globalwarming?

In a TIME article on January 9, 2007, this is discussed. So called "Carbon offsetting" in the form off tree planting. This meens that trees are planted in order to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the Earth's athmosphere. According to the article this works to some degree, but there is in fact no real scientific proof on its effectiveness.

This has caused many big companies, that used to invest in tree planting, to look for other options such as investing in wind power and solar power, thus helping to turn away from fossil-fuel-based energy. I personally believe this is the right way to go, as I myself have invested some money in companies that are researching alternative energy sources.

Trees need to be planted as well to replace the ones we cut down, but it's not the whole solution to the problem.

Bush admits globalwarming exists

The US president, George W Bush, finally admits in his State of the Union speech the existens of global warming. Having refused to sign the Kyoto treaty due to concerns about US interests, he finally had to give in. It's funny how the self proclaimed "Greatest democracy" in the World is so far behind when it comes to the environment. Just look at Brasil where as many as 95% of all cars sold are of the type "Flexifuel" and run on ethanol (E85). There's a lesson to learn here.
