MODERN EPOCH AIR TRADING by Michael Kerjman

Climate change, global warming, ozone depletion...

It seems these expressions are so popular and commonly used to, that even hard-parting nightclub goers hear this stuff while enjoying lovely tunes.

Avoiding sophistications of super-professional texts, some thoughts on a widely-discussed climate-change-linked carbon emission topic had been submitted to the Climate Change Minister-and context might surely be of some interest to anyone - especially, those thinking that paying more brings about better results definitely.

COMMENTS on EMISSIONS TRADING SCHEME DISCUSSION PAPER by Michael Kerjman MIEAust CPEng MISMS MMVEA(USA) MBDP(UK) etc.

Had since the dawn of a planetary history all used to producing any page of a response to the Discussion Paper gradually-exhausted-natural-resources' and linked pollution's volumes integrated, an enormous amount of carbon emissions released requires obviously a sharp to the point reality-based applied engineering approach to climate-change-initiated fears round a globe intensified steadily by some influential administrators, lawyers and educators benefiting from playing English professionally while, in this case, attempting to impose a next financial burden on others predominantly.

Of climate-change-related papers and carbon-trading-scheme speculations following the produce on a topic up to date, the most impression is a total sin evil humans have been committing by ruining a planet with their activities and even their mere presence on.

However, it is not so simplistic: gravity, electro-magnetism and geo-mechanical characteristics are inextricably linked and mutually transforming each other features as solar radiation and space rays add significantly to a global reality where ozone depletion and climate change have been natural processes following the unstoppable deteriorating of the biosphere being accustomed.

Therefore, decreasing industrial gas exhaust in environment is an issue humanity-protecting rather than preventing a geo-cosmic destruction.

Therefore, a local effect of emissions cannot be tackled by paying the distant outsiders for deploying their quote on emitting into the universe somewhere.

Therefore, the more geographically distant carbon-dollar recipient(s) is (are) - the more extensive donor's exchange can originate in situ de facto.

Therefore, in a legal environment of a vogue enterprise collective responsibility, money itself substitutes neither clean-up technology nor an air quality itself.

Therefore, in any locality, nationally, a local air quality reflects foremost a local level of industrialization, local types of technological processes and local clean-up techniques whilst none can and does clean atmospheric air at any level and to any degree anywhere around the Earth.

Therefore, demanding cash for re-saleable, money-convertible atmospheric exhaust licensing is akin selling the shares for using an air, which was so far free for use even in the most feudal Dark Ages being already supposedly overcame by human rights delighted modern societies.

Therefore, a physics open object shared universally, Earth atmosphere hardly behaves utterly-predictably, which to some extent explains already misfortunes of the introduced pilot emissions trading schemes in Canada and the European Union.

Therefore, a point of following into someone's misguiding footsteps is unclear if no coherent scientific opinion regarding a climate change outcome existed: planetary cooling rather than global warming had more recently been seen as a realm of a next epoch on the Earth.

Therefore, against extremes -either warming or cooling oncoming, planetary strata are a natural protector, and shifting planetary magnetic poles indicate dramatic changes in global environment upon all the natural history known.

Therefore, an accumulated-carbon-emissions-future-efficient utilization is not a-stand-alone-complex, but a vital practical task sustaining a very existence of generations oncoming, a constituent of and a major concern for adaptation to the inevitable, which is a global climate change.

What is next?

A responsible signatory to unrealistic climate change international treaties should be prepared to a factual extortion of own national resources under umbrella of "an international emission trading scheme" if related international pacts do not collapse till 2030 naturally.

At a national level such a "trading" is a next dollar turnover around itself, stimulating inflation and tackling no environment protection problem but a playground for worldwide viciously hypothesising only the nature's decrees.

Perhaps, practically enforcing anti-smoking legislation in public places will bring about much more positive results, both financial and clean air/climate change related than an overseas-minded nonsense of an atmospheric air trading in any form at any level.

On a usual basis of "pay-as-you-go", accumulating carbon emissions for further utilization is seen to be a realistic path for the future national well-being on a way of an adaptation of natural terrestrial developments.

Declare War on Drugs in Drinking Water! by Olivia Romero

Have you read about this recently? Studies conducted by the National Geological Survey and the Environmental Protection Agency have detected drugs in drinking water. It isn't enough that we have to worry about industrial pollution fouling our water. Now, every time we pour ourselves a glass of water from our tap, we have to wonder if we're getting unwanted doses of antibiotics, anti depressants, and contraceptives.

The topic of drugs found in drinking water was raised as far back as 2000. USA Today reported on the medical community's uneasiness about the possible effects of antibiotics in drinking water. The concern was that even low levels of antibiotics could contribute to the creation of micro organisms...super bugs...that could be resistant to antibiotic treatment. The story implied that medical science might not be able to fight these super bugs, putting many lives at risk.

If you stop to think about it, it really isn't that surprising that these drugs have turned up in our drinking water. Pharmaceutical drugs make up a major component of what we take into our bodies on a regular basis. As these substances pass through our bodies, they end up in our water supplies. This water is then recycled and reused. Unfortunately, removing drugs in drinking water is currently beyond the capabilities of our municipal treatment facilities.

At the present time, because there isn't enough hard data available, we just don't know how drugs found in drinking water can effect our health. But sitting around, waiting for the results of scientific studies doesn't make sense. Its possible to take action and declare war on drugs in drinking water today! There are many quality home water filtration solutions that are specifically designed to remove the synthetic organic chemicals (SOCs) that make up these pharmaceutical drugs.

In addition to protecting you and your family from drugs in drinking water, these water filtration systems are effective at filtering out other common toxic contaminants found in most drinking water supplies. If you do a little research you can even find systems that are certified for the reduction of VOCs (volatile organic chemicals) and THMs.

You may be surprised to find out, like I did, that a quality home water filtration system is quite affordable. They are also fairly simple to install and are low maintenance.

I don't know about you, but living with even the possibility of drugs in drinking water just isn't an option.

How to Lend a Helping Hand Today â€" Three Main Ways by Nathalie Fiset

Global warming. Worldwide oil and food price hikes. Inflation. Water shortage. Severe climate changes. Increased poverty. These are just some of the problems our world is facing today. Indeed, with all the global economic, political, social and environmental crises, life has become harder than ever, and more and more people are struggling just to survive, which is also why there has never been a better time to stretch out a helping hand.

Why Help?

Of course, you might be asking yourself: Why should I consider helping others? After all, you, too, might be going through some tough times. Still, there are several reasons why many people go on helping others, and why you, too, might want to consider lending a helping hand.

For one, helping others can allow you to make new acquaintances, possibly even new friends who might also be able to help you out someday when it’s your turn to be in need. Even if they won’t be able to repay you, you’re bound to be rewarded in one way or another as you go along. After all, what goes around comes around, or so the Karmic law states.

Helping others enables you to share your good fortune with others, too, so you won’t be seen as greedy and so you can make good use of your resources.

Most importantly, helping others can leave you with a feeling of peace and fulfillment, even happiness, just by knowing that you’ve made at least one more person’s life a bit better. For those who keep on helping others, this is the greatest reward of all.

Donate in Kind

Next, you might ask yourself: But how do I lend a helping hand? There are, of course, many ways in order to help others. However, there are three main ways of helping.

The first main way you can help is by making donations in kind or in property. This simply means giving away the things you don’t need to other people who need them or can make better use of them. For example, you can give away your old clothes to the homeless shelter instead of piling them up at the back of your closet, or give away the children’s books and toys which your kids have outgrown to your local orphanage. You can even just simply give the excess food you have to a less fortunate neighbor, which is better than dumping it in the trash bin.

Put Your Money Where it Matters

If you don’t have old stuff to give away, you can also just help by making donations in cash. In fact, this may even be easier for you since most charitable organizations accept cash. As a bonus, it’s easier to get a tax deduction for cash donations, too, compared to property donations which usually require either a personal or professional assessment of the value of the property.

You don’t have to donate a huge amount of cash to lend a helping hand, either. Rather, any amount you give can go a long way in helping others.

Share Your Time and Skills

The third main way of helping others is by sharing your skills and your free time, particularly by being a volunteer. This can be the most fulfilling way of helping others, too, since you are truly sharing a part of yourself, instead of just what you have.

It isn’t hard to be a volunteer, either. In fact, it is simply a matter of looking for the perfect volunteer opportunity by considering what skills you have, the amount of time you can spare, and most importantly, your passion. For example, if you like children, you can volunteer at your local orphanage, or if you’re good at dealing with elderly people, you can help out at a nearby nursing home.

Of course, you can simply volunteer around your neighborhood, like doing the gardening for an elderly couple or walking the dog for a sick neighbor.

Every Little Act Helps

Indeed, no act of helping is too great or too small. It doesn’t even matter how many people you help or who you’re helping. What is important is that you do help others and hopefully, they, in turn, will be inspired to help other people, too, so that the world can still be a nice place to live in no matter how tough times get.
