NATURAL GAS NOT AN APT SOLUTION FOR CLIMATIC PROBLEMS.

At the beginning it was said that instead of burning oil and coal, natural gas can be used as an alternative. As natural gas emits low amount of green house gases into the atmosphere. But after few researches it was found that this natural gas could not be the apt solution for climatic problems.

Even though it produces low amount of green house gas, it still is a conventional and fossil fuel. Due to this it could not be the exact solution for which we are searching for. It was also found that it causes other problems than the climatic problem, especially while mining of natural gas takes place. Huge acres of land gets useless after it is mined for natural gas. 

In mining of natural gas, hydraulic fracturing or fracking is done. This requires alot of water and uses various toxic chemicals. It requires a huge area to be mined, proper transportation along with storage, which is far difficult. 

It was also suggested that non conventional energy sources like solar, tidal, wind, geothermal, etc., could be the best replacement for the non conventional source of energy like coil. oil and natural gas.

Advancements are going on in these non conventional energy sources which are abundant in nature. The more concentrated is the solar energy. As it is directly available from sun at no cost.

Now a days technology in non conventional energy source has gone to such an extent that they have been started implemented on small scale. We have to encourage these inventions and help to develop more and more advancements in these fields. We have to convert this initiative into large scale projects which will be the apt solution this ever growing climatic problem.

Switching to green and clean fuels from fossil fuel will be the PERFECT solution for climatic problems.

This way we can save our earth & natural resources.

NEW SINK FOR CARBON DIOXIDE

The main huge and natural sink for carbon dioxide is the oceans. The scientists have found one more sink that is the BASALT ROCKS. These rocks arrests the carbon dioxide to form harmless limestone. This seems to be innovative step to fight against the global warming. 

As we all know that the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has gone up considerably, it has made an urgency to reduce it as low as possible, otherwise we have to be ready to face the various consequences caused by it. The latest example is the formation of the hurricane in USA. This is also due to climatic change, global warming. If we don't any steps to reduce it even now, its very clear that we have to be ready to face such calamities very often.  

The scientists are speeding up there researches in order to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as low as they can. The scientists have found a new sink. This will lock the carbon dioxide in the basalt rocks. 

The scientists have decided pump SELTZER WATER into the basalt rock through a deep hole made on the rock. The carbon dioxide entering will react with the calcium in the rock to form a limestone which is not harmful. The super-heated steam is obtained from geothermal plant. Scientists will separate the steam and carbon dioxide and this carbon dioxide is pumped underground into the rocks to form limestone.

This way the amount of the scientists of "Carb Fix" have found a new way to arrest the carbon dioxide available in the atmosphere.

Such innovative methods can save our earth & natural resources.

GLOBAL WARMING'S HAND ON GLACIAL ICE

We are aware that the global warming has adverse effects over this earth. Glacial ice has also been affected by the global warming. It the past, before global warming, there were huge regions of glacial ice. The global warming has increased the warmth of the globe. This warmth has caused for melting of glacial ice. This is the reason for declination of  glacial ice region. At present itself, the glacial ice region is present in very acute level. If such global warming continues, its sure that within few years there will be no glacial ice region. The graphical representation of the glacial regions in the past and present are show below. This would give you the clear picture of the present scenario.

The main reason is the emission of Carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It was found that around 190 billion tons of carbon dioxide is emitted into the atmosphere every year. Out this, 7 billion tons emitted due to human activity, 91 billion tons due to biological activities taking part in the ocean and the rest due to volcanoes and decaying to terrestrial plants. 

You might think that human activity is contributing the least amount. But if seen properly, the other two have been increased due to indirect human activities. Our activities, like excess mining, excess deforestation, etc., all such activities in excess has disturbed the nature. 

Its very simple, we are disturbing the nature, so in turn its disturbing us by volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunami, etc. This way we are contributing to the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. We are polluting the water bodies by passing various industrial wastes into it. This affects the normal life cycle in the water bodies like oceans. This again will disturb the carbon dioxide balance between the atmosphere and ocean. So excess amount of carbon dioxide gets emitted from the oceans into the atmosphere. 

This way we are whole responsible for the excess emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. So we have reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide by all means. We have to save our earth & natural resources.

Baby Polar Bears the next victim of Climate Change

Climate Change has become more dangerous that nuclear weapon. If its intensity is not controlled, it could be the most disastrous weapon. This is now mainly affecting the wild life, aquatic life to a greater extent. We too are being affected but to an acute level, but within no time it will affect us.

After affecting coral reefs, rare spices of aquatic life, the climate change is targeting the Polar bears cubs. We know that, due to the climatic change, the ice caps in the polar regions are melting down. This means that the Arctic region is declining. Arctic region is the habitat for the Polar bears. So as this Arctic region gets declined, so they are swimming mile together in search of their new habitat.

The elder Polar bears can swim such long long miles days together, but the small once, its highly impossible. Even the elder bears losses considerable amount of weight during such a tedious journey. They lose around 1/4th of their weight.

It was found that the polar bears were swimming approximately 426miles to reach a region which is similar to their habitat. Even that region is very small, also due to increasing climate change problem, even it is expected to be lost soon. The baby polar bears just swim small distance, and die. This way many babies of polar bear has lost their life.

We know that, these polar bears are the poster of climate change. If this climatic change goes to serious level, soon we have to search for some other animal, or even time will come for putting our image too for the poster, if not controlled.  

We have to take some initiative to solve this problem. If it is not solved, we might also be facing such problems sometime or the other. So lets put our hands together and save our earth & natural resources.

Effective Reuse of Old CARS

Technology is developing day by day. Everyday there is improvement in all fields. Everything is becoming absolute as day pass. In the automobile field its also the same. The people are going for latest models. They will discard the old cars. So it forms solid waste. So it gets dumped on the earth. With an hint of creative idea we can even utilize these discarded cars the best possible way.

These can be utilized for making some new creative form of parks, gardens. So along with entertainment, environment problem like solid waste disposal can be solved. These parks can be the initiative for creative work. 

They can also used in creating museum. This would show the future generation of the past cars. They can see to themselves how the automobiles have developed and much more. Its all how we represent them. If we dump them, it becomes waste and the same thing if we present it quite different way which all like to see. it would surely welcomed and encouraged.

By doing such creative things, we can make the best possible use of them.

If it cant be used for such purpose, we can go for the better way like using its various parts as scrap, recycling them instead of using the fresh raw materials again and again. So raw materials can be conserved at the same time, the energy required to process such scrap will be some what less as compared to the fresh feed. 

So don't waste the resources we have, utilize them to the best possible way. This can help to save our earth & natural resources.

****SAVE OUR EARTH &NATURAL RESOURCES****: Carbon dioxide a new boon-----used as fuel.

****SAVE OUR EARTH &NATURAL RESOURCES****: Carbon dioxide a new boon-----used as fuel.

Carbon dioxide a new boon-----used as fuel.

Carbon dioxide along with sunlight produces methanol and gasoline which can be used as fuel. A new innovative method that could reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

As everyone know that the excess amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is the prime reason for causing global warming. The global warming has become a greatest problem for the past decade or so. Along with global warming we are facing problems regarding the energy availability. As our fossil fuels are on the verge of extinction, everyone has been alerted for an alternative source of fuels. Till now many alternative fuels have come, but this is going to be more interesting. As this will give solution for two problems at the same time.

Here carbon dioxide along with sunlight can be used as fuel. This will reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Along with this energy will also be produced that can be utilized.

In this, carbon dioxide is converted to petrol using sunlight.This is achieved by recovering the building blocks of hydrocarbons by reversing the combustion process. The product so obtained can be synthesized to produce fuels in the form of methanol or gasoline. Already this technology has been tested for small scale utilization. It might require decade or so to commercialize.

Extracting fuel from carbon dioxide is found to be some what expensive. But on fine research it could be optimized. Also the reason for encouraging it is the ever increasing price of crude.

This process uses solar reactors named Counter-Rotating Ring Receiver Reactor Recuperator  which is simply called CR5. This solar reactor uses sunlight and breaks carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide and oxygen. Its simply a heat engine, but it does chemical work instead of doing mechanical work which is done by the normal heat engine.

The prototype that is used has the size and shape of a beer keg. This contains 14 cobalt ferrite rings each having diameter of 1 foot and rotates at 1rpm(revolutions per minute). An 947.23 square foot solar reactor traps huge amount of sunlight into the reactor. This is used to heat the cobalt ferrite rings to about 1427 degree centigrade. At this temperature the carbon dioxide breaks up to carbon monoxide and oxygen. As breaking of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide and oxygen is an endothermic reaction, it absorbs the heat from the rings. When the rings temperature goes down to 1093 degree centigrade, it is exposed to carbon dioxide.

As the cobalt ferrite rings now lack oxygen, it takes it from the carbon dioxide that it is in contact with. There by leaving carbon monoxide, which serves as building block. This building block is the source for the formation of  hydrocarbon. Further this can be converted to methanol or gasoline, which is a fuel. After the formation of fuel, the cobalt ferrite ring comes back to its original state and is ready for another cycle.

This way the carbon dioxide which is considered as a problem can be utilized properly to give energy.

This to has one drawback, heating of cobalt ferrite ring to such a large temperature at commercial level. Heating for small scale has been achieved. So we have to find how to commercialize it.

By doing this we can save our earth & natural resources.

If anyone has any idea regarding the heating of rings for commercial scale can give. Its our earth and we have to save it.

CLIMATE CHANGE PROMOTER OTHER THAN CO2

It was initially concluded that CO2 alone contributes hugely for causing climatic change. But it is found that not only CO2, soot coming out from various industries, automobiles along with smog created by the combination of smoke with fog. These are the promoters of climatic change apart from CO2.

Soot is produced by various industries. These soot comes out from the chimneys of the industries. These are carried out to some of the near by places with the help of wind. This is know as pluming. There are various forms of pluming, depending on the velocities of both the soot or plume rising and the wind. Greater the velocity of the wind, long spread of pollutants from the soot takes place. If the wind velocity is far less than the plume velocity, the pollutants will travel in the vertical direction. This will not affect the people to that extent than the former one. But this will affect the air travel, birds etc. This soot from the plume promotes pollution. There by increasing the unwanted green house gases into the atmosphere, which in turn will promote global warming. This global warming will enhance the climatic change problems. There by increasing the global temperature.

This can be reduced by having a control over the emission of soot into the atmosphere. This can be done by 3 methods.

METHOD 1: Using Proper Raw Material

By using those raw materials which would either wont give any soot or give in least amount. This will not only give soot free along with superior quality of product.

Either use top quality raw material or refine it. This will enhance the product with decline in pollutant emission.

METHOD 2:  Using Quality Process

If the raw materials cannot be processed or if we wont get pure raw material. Its more advisory to go for good quality process. This quality process will enhance the product also it wont emit pollutant. There by amount of soot produced will be low.

METHOD 3: Using Proper Post Treatment

Various adsorption processes can be applied to adsorb the soot. This will reduce the amount of soot.

This way soot can be reduced and we could prevent pollution. This will reduce the climatic change problem. 

Smog is another promoter with would enhance the climatic changes problem. Smog is caused by combination of Fog and smoke. Due to soot from industries and huge amount of smoke from the automobiles along with fog due to natural climate will together make smog. This will causes irritations and various health problems.

Also causes visibility problems and various climatic problems leading to climatic changes. 

So to save our earth & natural resources we have to have control over the pollutions which we cause.

INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT

     Industries uses water for many activities. These water is then discharged out. Discharged water contains various impurities like chemicals, metals, suspended particles, etc. All these things are to be treated or removed from the water before they are to be discharged in any water body.

    If the water is not properly treated, then the impurities will act upon the various elements water causing adverse effects on aquatic life. This in turn will affect us through food chain. So its our prime duty to see that the water which is being discharged into the various water bodies follows the proper standards as prescribed by the pollution control board.

     There are fews sequential steps to e followed to treat the waste water.

STEP 1:

     SCREENING

       In this all the coarse sized solids are been removed. Along with the coarse, the floating and other suspended materials of considerable sizes are removed.

STEP2:

     PRIMARY TREATMENT

       Here mainly settling process takes place. The water is allowed to settle for a while and then are treated with microbes. These microbes feed upon the wastes colloidal particles suspended in the water.

STEP3:

     SECONDARY TREATMENT

       In this process the water is made suitable for almost all purposes, except for drinking. This is mainly done by chemical process. This includes various advanced oxidation process either used separately or with combinations. This will give a better quality if water.

STEP4:

     TERTIARY TREATMENT 

       Here fine treatment like reverse osmosis, membrane filtration, etc. are being carried out in order to make the water suitable for drinking.

Mostly if the water is to be discharged into water, then we can stop at step3.

So please treat the water before discharging it into any of the water body. By doing this we can save our earth & natural resources.

THE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON ARCTIC

The changes in the climate is found to be drastic & dramatic. In the early olden days there could be certain climatic pattern over a period of time. For instance 3 months rainy season, 3 months autumn, 3 months winter& 3 months summer. Now unfortunately we hardly have these seasons existing. Its raining anytime, the temperatures have gone to extremes both winter and summer. The most affected by this climatic change is animals. They could not adapt to such changing conditions and get perished.

Such kind of similar situation exists in the arctic region. The arctic region has become one of the warmest zone on the earth. Here the summer temperature is increasing year after year. Its expected that during the period from May to June snow formation takes place. Its found that the snow formation has reduced by around 20%. Here the summers are being increased and winters are being decreased by a weak or so. All such unusual changes has taken place in the recent one or two decades.

This also tells that the temperature will increase another 3 to 7 degrees centigrade very soon. Also the the winter period and the thickness of snow is reducing at a greater velocity. Its expected that the glaciers will lose 10-30% of there total mass.

The present rate of increase of green house gases shows a clear path that by 2100 the rise in the sea level would be from 0.9m to 1.6m. This increase in the sea level is found to be twice of that predicted by the UN's panel on climatic change, IPCC in 2007.

Its never late, so its our duty to reduce cordon dioxide emission into the atmosphere. We have to save our earth & natural resources.

GREENHOUSE GAS ALMOST BECOMING DANGEROUS

     The carbon dioxide which contributes maximum to the green house gases is found to be increasing its concentration in the atmosphere. It has rosed up to 455 parts per million (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Report). This level is termed to be the tipping point.

     The amount of carbon dioxide in the environment has already crossed the threshold limit. This means that already the life on the earth has been in danger. The rate at which the carbon dioxide is increasing is enormous. So we have to take some strict action, measures as early as possible. The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere rose because of our activities. So very are very much responsible to sort it out.

     It was found that in the 90's the emission rate of carbon dioxide was less than 1% per year, but in 2000's it was near 3.5% per year. This shows at what rate we are emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

     This tremendous increase in the carbon dioxide emission rate has lead to around 75% of the problems faced on the earth either directly or indirectly.

     These problems include sudden rainfalls, aperiodic changes in the season, price hikes, health problems, food scarcity, loss of habitat, etc.

     So its our prime duty to reduce the carbon dioxide emission into the atmosphere and also take some actions to reduce the already existing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

    By doing these things we can save our earth & natural resources.  

  

THE 3 R's REQUIRED TO SAVE OUR PLANET

There are the 3 R's that is followed properly and effectively we can save our planet. Till now you would have guessed those 3 R's, which i m talking about. Ya its REDUCE, REUSE & RECYCLE.

REDUCE:

Reduce the wastage of all most everything. Even small things wastage will directly or indirectly contribute to the loss of resources. So its our prime duty to reduce the wastage as far as possible. This could save energy thats required to produce it, the resources required to manufacture it, etc. 

REUSE:

There are some things that can be reused, instead of buying new one. For instance, you can carry cloth bag from home and avoid taking plastic bags from the shop, this could will reduce the problem of pollution caused by plastics and will save huge amount of energy and resources.

RECYCLE:

Most of the solid wastes are dumped in the open spaces. These contains all sorts of solid wastes varying from the domestic waste to industrial wastes. These includes metals, glass, some plastics, which can be recycled. These can be recycled and can easily be used for some other purpose. This way we can save both energy & resources. 

Hey friends this all seems to be very small thing, but if everyone of us follow there will be tremendous change that will be seen. So to save our earth everyone has to contribute there level best. 

TIPS TO REDUCE THE SOLID WASTE

Now a days solid waste is becoming a great problem for us. 

The human population is growing up rapidly, along with it the tremendous growth in the technology produces huge million tons of solid wastes. 

There's no proper method being followed for the solid waste disposal. Its our duty to follow them properly. 

Here are the some methods of solid waste disposal.

1. Sanitary disposal

2. Incineration

3. Composting

Sanitary disposal:

Out of these sanitary disposal method seems to me the most effective method of solid waste disposal. Here an open ground is taken and small pits of 2m in width and depth is dug. In this pit the solid wastes are dumped in a particular manner.

This contains alternative layers of solid wastes and earth. The waste and earth are dumped in the ratio 4:1 and is tightly packed. At the top about 50cm thick of earth is filled in order to prevent the rodents to enter. These pits should be kept undisturbed. The pits are dug by providing approximately 1m space throughout. These grounds can be made in garden and other recreation place.

Incineration:

Its burning of solid wastes. There's a huge problem here. This is not applicable for all solid wastes. Various metals and non combustible materials are to be removed. Along with this is produces many undesirable gases which are harmful to the environment. 

LATEST GREEN TECNOLOGY TO REMOVE OIL SPILLS

 Scientists are experimenting an innovative, green and novel technique to remove the oil spills. 

This will not damage the environment in any way.

SOLAR POND - NEW METHOD TO ENTRAP SOLAR ENERGY

As everyone knows that the sun is the largest renewable sources of energy. Its energy is available in abundant in nature. This all everyone knows. But we had a problem to entrapping this abundant energy. Also the equipments used for its trapping was found to be very costlier.

Now an method that has emerged a long back suits to be suitable to some extent. Its simply the solar ponds. This idea was researched 1987 itself. This pond offering processed heat to the dairy industries from 1993. This is located in Bhuj, Gujarat.

Here the process is very simple. Everyone knows that when you heat water it becomes light and travels upwards. The pond's temperature remains at the atmospheric temperature.This prevents the heat loss from the pond to the atmosphere.

Also salt is add to this pond, which prevents the light vapor to reach the top. The heat of the pond is trapped in it. This salt makes the vapor heavier & prevents  it from rising.

There are three zones available, Upper convective zone where the salt concentration is least. Non convective zone there the salt concentration is intermediate & Lower convective zone where the salt concentration is found to be the maximum.

Its also found that the water cannot move from one zone to another, thereby acting as an insulator which not only allows the sun's energy to reach the bottom of the pond but also doesn't allow them to go off. This way it entraps the sun's energy & this can be used for various processes.

It can be made anywhere required. It will be economical if we construct these solar ponds where we the salt is available.

This way we can save our earth & natural resources. If you all have any of such innovative ideas to save our earth. You can publish then in the comments.a

SWEDEN INITIATES TO HELP TO SAVE OUR EARTH

Sweden initiates with a greatest ambition to achieve oil free economy by the year 2020. Also at the same time it has decided not to increase its nuclear plant.

It has decided to ride on renewable source of energy in order to compensate the ever increasing oil prices & the global warming.

Its very clear that the oil reservoirs are going to extinct, then finding the other alternative way will be difficult all of a sudden.

Its better that we try to act upon such problems from now onwards as Sweden has initiated. All have to come together and raise their hands to use the ever lasting renewable resources. There by the global warming can also be controlled.

This is the time to act on this, or then it would be too late in saving ourselves.

All we can do is to use the solar energy as effectively as we can, as this is the next choice after non renewable fuels. If this is developed  to a greater extent then two major problems of this globe can be reduced.

The two problems can be solved or reduced  are:

1. Energy problems.

2. Environmental problems.

So everything is in our hands, we have to save our earth & natural resources.

GREATEST EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING CAN BE FELT BY SMALL VARIATION IN THE GLOBAL TEMPERATURE

Humans have exploited the earth to such an extent, that from now onwards even if the average global temperature increases slightly, its effects are going to be worst.

Effect of global warming is  almost similar to the rubber band that has lost almost its elastic property & even a small pull from now will break it.

There is an average increement of around 2 degree centigrade of average global temperature. As the human exploitation is going on a rapid rate, the average temperature might increase to even 4 degree centigrade very soon.

This in turn will increase the amount of carboin dioxide in the atmosphere. Increase in concentration of carbon dioxide will lead to global warming & the chain of environmental problems continues.

The humans are not aware that they are also being affected indirectly by there activities. 

For example:

1. Due to excess of pollution the average human life span han gone down considerable. He is dieing very quickly when compared to the previous generations.

2. Due to their activities lands get submerged under the oceans which again affect them.

So nothing is late, just come together & help to save our earth & natural resources.

HOT NEWS ON OIL SPILLAGE & ITS EFFECTS

Recently also a great disaster took place which caused pollution to both air & water. 

Ya you might have guessed it right, INS Vindhyagiri, a naval ship which collided yesterday with a merchant ship & caught fire.




This will affect the environment in various ways. 

The affect will  be felt by the marine life surrounding it.

Also might cause death of many marine organisms in and around this oil spread area. 

This might even enter the food chain & get circulated through our food chain.


Along with this marine problem, another thing to worry about this is, it will pollute the air, as its burning. 

This burning release of various toxic gases into the atmosphere. 

Also this in turn increase the global temperature, leading to global warming.




As it is predicted that if the emission of such gases goes at this rate, then the global temperature is expected to rise by 2.5 degree C at the mid of this decade. 

This might even rise to 3 degree or even more by the end of this decade.




So its our responsibility to save our earth & natural resources.

CONTRIBUTION OF OIL SPILLAGE TO ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS

• Oil spillage has various adverse affects on the living organisms on this globe. 
• The affects may be classified into two main categories
• Short term
• Long term
• Source for this oil:
• Damaged oil tankers
• Damged pipelines
• Many other human activities
• Effects:


• Marine eco-system is hamppered
• Damages beaches, marshlands
• It enters the food chain and remains for long period in this globe affecting various living organisms
•  
• What happens when oil spills?
• The main thing is that it will act as an covering sheet over the ocean or any water body, which wont allow the sun rays deep into the water body.
• This in turn will cause death of various marine flora & fauna which are at the deepr part of the water body.
• These dead matter will increase in the water body which absorbs ample amount of oxygen & liberates carbon dioxide in the water.
• Therefore due to lack of proper oxygen supply the whole marine ecosystem will be disturbed greatly.
• Along with this, the birds, animals & humans who consume such affected products will thus be affected. This will continue in the food chain, there by causing huge loss.
• This way we will lose various ecosystem, rare species, beaches etc.

Major Problems Faced by Our Earth
