A Fossil-Fuelled Earth: Drilling For Oil
Although there are numerous different sources of power available, more than three-quarters of the energy utilized in developed states comes from oil, gas and coal. These fuels are loaded in carbon and hydrogen. They burn in air to form carbon-dioxide and water, a method that releases heat energy.
Fossil fuels were formed millions of years ago from the remains of plants and animals. There is a finite supply of these fuels and now they’re being used up at a far faster rate than they are being formed. Soon they’re going to run out.
Oil is formed under the sea from the remains of sea life. The oil formation process is similar to that of coal. The remains become buried under layers of sediment, and the ensuing high pressure and temperature make them turn into a black liquid with a high carbon content. Frequently gas forms in the same place as the oil. The liquid oil moves toward the surface and becomes trapped under layers of impermeable rock. The pressure builds up as more liquid moves upwards.
Though oil is created under the sea, plenty of the world’s oil fields are located on land. This is a result of changes in sea levels and movements in the Earth that have ‘uplifted ‘ rocks, making them lie above water.
The gas and oil is reached by drilling wells, often several kilometres long, through the overlying rock. When the drill breaks thru the rock above the oil, pressure is released, and the oil spurts out of the well. To stop this from happening, engineers place special valves at the top of the well. When there is not enough pressure to push oil to the surface, water or gas can be pumped into the well to force the oil out. The crude oil that comes out of the ground has to be brought to refineries to be processed before it can be utiliized.
Oil companies are now looking for new oil and gas fields in some of the world’s most inhospitable places, such as the frozen ice fields of Siberia and Alaska and the Arctic Ocean. Once all of the oil fields are exhausted, the energy firms may turn their attention to oil shales. These are rocks that have oil within them. However , removing oil from rock is awfully pricey and produces a large amount of waste.
It is continuing to become clear that using green renewable power sources,eg solar power, must become a concern before oil runs out and the environment is irrepairable.

The Air-Duct System To The Energy Efficiency
Heated and cooled homes are something we often take for granted In this age of high-tech and instant everything. I, for one, expect to return to a comfortable home after a hard day’s work, and I give little thought to the luxury of having a heating and cooling system that constantly adjusts to the outside weather without any effort on my part. For people who also want to know something about the solar panels installation such as the solar panels NZ and the pool fencing maintenance, you can turn to an expert for advice.
In fact, the HVAC equipment in a home is a complex design of mechanical equipment that keeps us comfortable no matter what the temperature is outside, and it is the ductwork of this system that transfers the conditioned air into our living space. The more efficiently ducts transfer air, the more effectively your home gets conditioned. Because ducts have such a significant role in HVAC efficiency, and because they represent a small fraction of the cost of the entire system, it is a good place to examine for repairs and upgrades.
Unconditioned places, such as the attics and crawlspaces where ducts are often located, create challenges for the effective transfer of conditioned air. According to information on a U.S. Department of Energy site (ducts.lbl.gov), about 25 percent of the energy (and therefore money for utilities) used for heating and cooling is typically wasted through duct system energy losses.
How do we lose efficiency through our ductwork, and how can we fix it? There are two main causes of this problem. One is by conduction losses. This happens when ducts are not insulated or are poorly insulated. A well-insulated duct allows the conditioned air to travel to its intended destination without being affected by the temperature that surrounds it. Without this important insulation, transfer of heat and cold to and from the air inside the duct with unconditioned space is inevitable.
The second way efficiency is lost is through duct leakage. “Air leaks in and out of ducts at all connections within a system,” according to information on ducts.lbl.gov. “This leakage means that air that occupants have paid to have heated or cooled escapes from the heating or cooling system and does not heat or cool the house. Also, air that leaks into the heating and/ or cooling system increases the amount of outside air that must be heated or cooled.”
So the better we can seal our duct work, the more efficient our systems will be. A “flexible duct” is seamless and generally will leak only where it connects at each end. Sheet metal duct has many seams and in turn much more potential for leakage. The best way to seal a duct seam is with duct mastic. It has a paste-like consistency upon application and when dry will still maintain some flexibility. This is important because of the expansion and contraction that occurs with temperature changes in ducts.
There also are various places on an air handler that can leak conditioned air. The sealing of these locations will affect the optimal performance of your HVAC equipment. Qualified professionals are best equipped to do this work. A “duct blaster” test calculating duct leakage also can be performed to check before and after duct sealing has been done. The final results will indicate the amount of improvement that has been achieved. An opportune time to evaluate potential leakage of escaping air is while the ducts are pressurized during the test. It should also go without saying that furniture or other obstructions of duct registers should be moved and filters should be cleaned or replaced regularly.

Low Carbon News
The international climate negotiations have rolled into Durban, still in pursuit of an global agreement that will please everyone. At the time of writing, the usual flow of mixed messages are emerging from the various huddles. At the same time the International Energy Agency has estimated we have 5 years to stop runaway climate change.
In the UK, the Government is offering tax relief for energy intensive industries to mitigate the effect of green taxes and rising energy prices. They claim this is necessary to avoid 'carbon leakage' where industries relocate abroad, but green groups have criticised the move.
In a welcome move, the Treasury has announced £200m incentives to kickstart the Govt's Green Deal programme for improving the energy efficiency of homes. Previously the programme was to be completely self-funded from energy savings after the improvements.
Another tranche of e-mails have been released in the so-called 'climategate' series. Despite the attempts to hype up out-of-context quotes, they simply reveal bickering over minor points of academic politics.
And finally,
Some people are trying to sex up the worthy but dull "remember the environment, don't print this e-mail" signature blocks. Examples include "Printing this email makes Al Gore cry." and "Printing emails is the new clubbing seals."

Seek Help From Spider Removal Experts
If you really think that all spiders are one and the same, they you are seriously mistaken. Take note, there are over 40,000 verified spider species all around the planet earth. This has been actually divided into 109 families. In fact, due to the real huge number of spiders, there have been over 20 different classifications of the spiders. And it’s been going on since the year 1900. Woe is the taxonomists which are actually tasked with classifying the different kinds of spiders.
Another word of reminder, spiders are definitely not harmless as others are wont to believe. Spiders do bite. No, their bite will not turn you into a superhero. Sorry to really disappoint you. Instead, headache, shortness of breath, respiratory problems and even muscular cramps may manifest itself when actually bitten by a spider. The bite is usually leaves a red mark with light to severe swelling. It is known that some spider bites can even cause cardiac arrest. Now you really know that spiders are not as harmless are some of us would actually like to believe.
It is recommended you seek immediate medical attention should a spider happens to bite you. It is really something serious. This is even more needed if symptoms of unusual kinds begin manifesting itself to the victim. It is a serious matter that needs to be properly attended. Don’t think it’s just a simple case and will go away in time. It is better that proper medical assistance be given promptly to avoid further complications. Spiders maybe small, but they do pack a lot of power in them. If you want to avoid any complications, see a doctor immediately.
The best possible solution for your spider infestation problem is to call the experts. Call a dependable spider removal expert to take care of the problem. They are the connoisseur when it comes to proper removal and disposal of spiders. They have the manpower, the proper training and skill, plus the equipment to go about the job successfully. They have the mindset and the passion for their job. After seeing them work, you would not definitely want it handled well in any other best way.
You will be deeply sorry and perhaps remorseful if you take spiders for granted. Little as they are, they are capable of doing damaging things to your house. Hire a professional spider removal specialist to get rid of them. Don’t wait any much longer. The earlier you act, the better it will be for your household. The spiders are not going to wait also. So before they get the better of you, completely remove the spiders from your premises. You are much better off that way.
California passes new auto emission rules
What Does GWPF Really Stand For?
This is a guest post by MA Rodger
The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) is a UK-based climate-sceptic think-tank founded in November 2009 by Lord Lawson. Within two years of its launch, a survey of scepticism in the global media by Oxford University's RISJ had added a final chapter showing the GWPF had gained success in 'inserting itself into the (UK) national discourse' and that its founder and its director had become 'the two most quoted sceptics by far' within the UK national press.
The GWPF believes it has made a difference, saying of itself 'The key to the success of the GWPF is the trust and credibility that we have earned in the eyes of a growing number of policy makers, journalists and the interested public.' Yet the GWPF has also been criticised for being secretive, misinformed, wrong and perverse.
Here a series of posts will examine the GWPF and some of its publications to discover what GWPF really stands for. Are they a company of virtuous paragons? Are they a pack of unprincipled scoundrels? In this first post, we’ll explore the background of this climate denial “think” tank.
WHAT IS THE GWPF?
The GWPF is a UK-registered charity and as such its work is defined as 'an all party and non-party think tank and educational charity. Its main purpose is to advance the public understanding of global warming and of its possible consequences, and also of the measures taken in response to such warming.'
Nigel_Lawson (Baron Lawson of Blaby) was encouraged to found the GWPF through the 'surprising' success of his book in which he espoused global warming scepticism. Lawson takes the role of Chairman of the Board of Trustees, a body comprising six members of the British peerage, a knight of the realm, an anti-gay bishop and a French economist. The GWPF's Director, Dr Benny_Peiser, was a lecturer (Sport and Exercise Sciences) with interests in Near-Earth Objects and the founder of CCNet, (which the GWPF calls the 'worlds leading climate policy network') concerned with NEOs and the doomsday scaremongering about climate change.
To assist the GWPF in its work, it has recruited a 26-strong Academic Advisory Council. Chaired by Prof David Henderson, a 'prominent global warming sceptic,' this Council included Professors Robert Carter, Richard Linzden & Ross McKitrick and many other lesser known sceptics.
With a roll-call such as this, anybody would be forgiven for dismissing the GWPF as an organisation unabashed in its mission to spread sceptical disinformation. But anybody would be wrong!
NOT UNABASHED SCEPTICS
The GWPF describes itself as 'unique'. It is funded solely by individuals and charitable trusts. To emphasise its 'complete independence', it refuses money from those with significant interests in energy companies. It also has a set of principles that GWPF says 'set us apart from most other stakeholders in the climate debates.'
[Ed. Note: See DeSmogBlog’s coverage of the appeal by UK journalist Brendan Montague to compel the release of information about the GWPF’s seed funder.]
These principles tell us that the GWPF does not have an official view on the science of global warming (except that 'this issue is not settled yet'). Its members and supporters 'cover a broad range of different views, from the IPCC position through agnosticism to outright scepticism' and that the GWPF's 'main focus is to analyse global warming policies and their economic and other implications.'
Their fourth principle is a rather strange piece of philosophy for a body that holds no official view on the science - 'We regard observational evidence and understanding the present as more important and more reliable than computer modelling or predicting the distant future.'
In a final addition, they emphasise their role as informing the media, politicians and public 'on the subject in general and on the misinformation to which they are all too frequently being subjected at the present time.'
This then is what the GWPF purports to be about. And don't worry if you think this appears all a bit too complicated. It is.
SECRET DONORS, FEW MEMBERS
The GWPF accounts to July 2010 show donations of £494,625 and membership fees of £8,186. GWPF has been asked to name its 'secret' donors. No information has been forthcoming despite Lawson suggesting to a parliamentary inquiry that some donors may be willing to forego their anonymity and would be asked to do so.
This absence was perhaps explained by Lawson in the Chairman's 2010 statement, saying that in the GWPF's area of operation ‘anyone who puts their head above the parapet has to be prepared to endure a degree of public vilification.'
Public vilification? This seems an extremely odd statement to make if GWPF does truly encompass that broad range of views on climate, as their very principles dictate they should, or indeed an organisation that considers it has earned 'trust and credibility.'
The accounts presented at that meeting also demonstrate that GWPF has little direct public support. With a minimum fee of £100, £8,186 in membership fees must represent less than 82 members. For a high-profile organisation with Directors, Treasurer, Trustees, Advisers and employees numbering 41, many of whom may be themselves members, such a minuscule membership makes clear that GWPF is but a clique comprising many prominent sceptics and octogenarians. But surely, they will conduct themselves in a true and noble fashion, won't they?
TRUE & NOBLE CONDUCT?
Given its guiding principles, we would expect the GWPF to be:-
(1) Mainly focused on 'global warming policies and their economic and other implications.'
(2) Nurturing support from a broad range of viewpoints.
(3) Nailing all that horrid misinformation which we are 'all too frequently' subjected to.
(4) Also we may see pronouncements on the differing climate outcomes that are forecast within the science as such outcomes would drive policy decision-making.
All this, of course, would also involve communicating 'to advance the public understanding of global warming.' Prominent among the means of achieving this is the GWPF website that they say 'is subjecting climate policies and claims by governments and campaigners to dispassionate analysis based on hard evidence and economic rigour.' Sounds good. But let us dig a little deeper than the GWPF statement of its History & Mission.
With all these assertions the GWPF makes about itself, one area of concern must be how it handles that broad range of views on climate change, so as to conform to its guiding principles. What of those supporters who hold the IPCC's views on global warming? Is there evidence for such supporters?
It is plain IPCC supporters need thick skins at the GWPF website. The site does feature an IPCC Corner but this is not for them. It is for items on what's wrong with the IPCC and IPCC blunders.
Searching the GWPF website for the term 'IPCC' (& ignoring the content of IPCC Corner) returns 49 items. They are an interesting collection. 39 items involve criticism of the IPCC, 25 of them strongly enough to constitute an attack. The remaining 10 items make simple reference to or mention of the IPCC without criticism or praise.
These 49 items also overwhelmingly present an outright sceptical viewpoint with no item overtly accepting the need to tackle human emissions of greenhouse gases as the IPCC demonstrate is necessary. There is no evidence here that the GWPF pays the slightest heed to the merits of the IPCC or those who agree with it.
There is also very little climate change policy discussed in these items. They are more concerned with that climate science which the GWPF holds no view on (24 items) or with the criticism of scientists and the scientific process (23 items). The coverage is too general in nature to be considered as work identifying that horrid misinformation. Indeed, it is all very difficult to square the GWPF website content with even just a single one of those guiding principles that the GWPF has set itself.
What is perhaps most difficult to accept is that the vast majority of these 49 items (42 items) are re-posted from elsewhere. They thus represent not the output of GWPF researchers but a simple trawl of the internet. Why then is the outcome of such a trawl so skewed towards a sceptical viewpoint when the GWPF supporters allegedly hold a broad set of viewpoints, including that of the IPCC? The fine principles with which the GWPF tries to dress itself appear here to count for naught.
BLIND CLIMATE SCIENCE
The prominence of the GWPF has resulted in Lawson often featuring in the UK media. One instance of this was a head-to-head BBC Radio debate between Lawson and Prof Kevin Anderson of the University of Manchester. The BBC's Radio 2 (originally called the Light Programme) is a reasonably low-brow forum for debate. (Listeners to the 23-minute recording linked above will note there was originally a musical interlude – appropriately Mad World by Tears For Fears.)
Even so, Lawson makes pronouncements on climate science and not once is it mentioned that these are his personal views and not the views of the GWPF. For all intent and purpose Lawson, twice described as the Chairman of the GWPF, is blindly presenting the GWPF view on climate science, something that the GWPF says does not exist!
What Lawson says in this interview is also riven with inaccuracy. Even by the standards of a low-brow forum like Radio 2, Lawson was given a very easy time by Anderson who is probably not that used to confronting such foolishness.
IMPENDING 'BANKRUPTCY'?
It is not just with his contributions on BBC Radio that Lawson has been criticised for misinformation. Even a UK government minister has berated GWPF and Lawson's inaccurate messages, calling them misinformed, wrong and the GWPF's policy advice 'perverse.'
Such is the level of misinformation emanating from the GWPF that it has been suggested they are in breach of the Charity Commission guidance on campaigning and political activity. Charities may peddle controversial and 'emotive material' but crucially 'Such material must be factually accurate and have a well-founded evidence base.' This requirement appears to be something the GWPF seem to ignore while they continue to enjoy the tax exemptions afforded to true charities.
When concluding their statement of History & Mission, the GWPF say 'For us, public trust is our most important asset.'
In such terms, the cost of their website and media behaviour must be excessive and could soon render the GWPF bankrupt of public trust. Yet this may be a premature conclusion as our examination of the GWPF has yet to run its course. In the next post we will turn to a different outlet for GWPF messages and examine one of their Briefing Papers.
Greenpeace Calls On SEC To Investigate TransCanada’s Inflated Jobs Claims
Greenpeace USA President Phil Radford sent a formal complaint this week to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) calling for an investigation into TransCanada’s use of wildly inflated jobs figures in promoting its application to build the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. The letter asks the SEC to review the false and misleading claims made by TransCanada on a number of matters related to the pipeline.
Although President Obama rejected the company’s first proposal to build the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, industry-friendly Republicans continue to push for its construction, often citing vastly inflated jobs figures. The Perryman Report commissioned by TransCanada is the source of much of the bogus pipeline jobs information.
Despite the fact that the State Department and independent reviews definitively debunked the claims to “20,000 jobs” and even “hundreds of thousands of jobs” tied to the Keystone XL project, the lie lives on like a zombie, parroted by the echo chamber led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, API’s Jack Gerard, and of course Mitt Romney and the GOP.
This lie must be stopped or it will continue to contaminate the public discourse.
The Greenpeace SEC letter [PDF] states:
Specifically, TRP has asserted that each mile of KXL pipeline constructed in the U.S. would create American jobs at a rate that is 67 times higher than job creation totals given by the company to Canadian officials for the Canadian portion of the pipeline.
These false and misleading job creation numbers are part of TRP’s lobbying and public relations campaign designed to create congressional pressure on the U.S. government to issue a Presidential Permit approving construction of KXL. Without government approval, TRP will not be able to build KXL, which will significantly impact the company’s future earnings and share price. That government approval was thrown into serious doubt last week when President Obama rejected the current KXL pipeline proposal at the State Department’s recommendation.
As Brad Johnson says over on ThinkProgress, “It may be legal to lie to the American public, but it is an actionable offense to deceive shareholders under U.S. securities disclosure laws.”
Media Matters has compiled excellent one-pagers to correct the misinformation on Keystone XL, including the jobs myths, KXL and Keystone: The Next Round.

Musings of a Malcontent: Burn Baby Burn
“Musings of a Malcontent” is a weekly op-ed by GlobalWarmingisReal contributor Carlyle Coash
Over the last couple of weeks I have come across a series of articles that compels me to ask the question:
Who’s Minding the Store?
There are so many environmental hazards out there and I wonder who really keeps track of them. In the articles I read it seems almost dumb luck that someone took notice and said something or took a photo. I realize that there are a multitude of agencies that try to pay attention to these things. I am also fairly sure that the funds to support them are always at a minimum. We just never want to spend money on things that actually might be good for us in the long run – like enough investigators for the FDA, or Social Workers supporting abused children.
It just makes me scratch my head.
For example – have you heard that a Chevron Drill rig has been on fire off the coast of Nigeria for over a week?
Yeah. On fire.
You can see it burning from space.
Awesome. That stirs some confidence in me right there.
Apparently this was caused by a blowout. Currently there seems little information about the status of it or if it will result in any kind of oil spill. Not to mention the fact that I came across this completely by accident. I know more about Joan Rivers’ plastic surgery than I do about this flaming torch off the coast of Africa. And trust me – I did not need to know more about her plastic surgery. I’m thinking a visit to a trauma therapist is in order after looking at recent pictures of her without makeup.
Not cool.
Want another example?
How about a river of blood coming from a slaughterhouse in Texas?
Pig blood to be specific.
Super awesome.
When I think of environmental responsibility – my first thought is dumping a whole lot of pig’s blood into a body of water. Just a first thought for me though. Instinct really. Blood is so cleansing after all – and the fish LOVE it. Mmm – pig’s blood.
Plus it makes the water look pretty.
It was discovered by accident by a guy who flies model drones as a hobby. After two months an investigation is underway. I am not sure why it took two months. A river of blood is fairly straight forward. It apparently flows right in to the Trinity River. The pig slaughterhouse built an illegal pipe that ran out of the back of their plant and into nearby Cedar Creek, which goes to the Trinity River. The city of Dallas is bummed because they have been planning to develop the Trinity for recreational purposes – like fishing or canoeing.
There’s nothing like canoeing in a river of blood!
That would be the highlight of any self-respecting vacation. Just gliding through the crimson waters, remembering those old Lewis and Clark days. Splashing each other playfully like you do when canoeing – oh what fun to be covered in ripe fresh pig’s bloodstained water. That is a memory in the making.
I think the city of Dallas could really run with this. Heck – sharks love blood. Just introduce some sharks into the river and all is good. No need to waste money on chum. Then at least the pollution is going to good use AND you would have some amazing recreational fun.
You’re welcome, I am glad I could be of help.
Thankfully there are people out there taking a stand and reporting stuff. We need more of it. Otherwise companies will just keep trying to get away with it. It is in their nature. Well it is in human nature really. It is a compulsion. Greed can be funny that way.
Anyway – I did have a few more articles I wanted to share but I am late for my Vampire Facelift treatment. Sorry – maybe I’ll share them next week. They are going to take blood from my butt, pull out the plasma and inject it into my face! Great – right? I can’t believe it took so long to figure this one out. This is what living is all about.
Did I mention I live in California?
