How to stop Global Warming

What are people doing to stop global
warming?
 
People are doing many things to try to
stop global warming.  One thing
people are doing is carpooling.  Carpooling is driving with
someone to a
place that you are both going to.  This
minimizes the amount of greenhouse
gases put into the air by a car.
Another thing that people are doing is
being more careful about leaving
things turned on like the television,
computer, and the lights.   A
lot of people are taking time away from
the television, and instead, they are
spending more time outdoors.  This helps
our planet out a lot.  Now,
more people are even riding busses,
walking to school, and riding their bikes
to
lower the amount of greenhouse gases in
the air.  Planting trees and
recycling also helps.  If you recycle,
less trash goes to the dump, and
less trash gets burned.  As a result,
there are fewer greenhouse gasses in
our atmosphere.
Watch what you buy.  Many things, such
as hairspray and deodorant, now
are made to have less of an impact on
the atmosphere.  Less greenhouse
gasses will rise into the air, and global
warming will slow down.
 
What is the government doing to stop
global warming?
 
Most governments are doing many things
to help stop global
warming. Some governments have made a
law called The Clean Air Act so
there is less air pollution.  Global
warming is making people get very bad
illnesses that could make them disabled,
very sick, and sometimes even
die.  The Clean Air Act is making many
companies change their products to
decrease these problems.  Part of the
law says that you may not put a
certain amount of pollutants in the air. 
Hairspray and some other
products, like foam cups, had this
problem.  Making and using these
products let out too much volatile
organic compounds (VOC's), ozone-
destroying
chemicals (chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's),
and related chemicals (such as CO2) into
the air.  Now, almost all of these products
have a label on them telling
people what this product can do to the
environment and many people.  By
2015 all products listed on the Clean Air
Act will have this label on
them:
What are some of the other dangerous
chemicals?
 
Some other chemicals that cause air
pollution and are bad for the
environment and people are:
 Ozone- Ozone is produced when other
pollution chemicals
combine.  It is the basic element of
smog.  It causes many different
kinds of health issues dealing with the
lungs.  It can damage plants and
limit sight.  It can also cause a lot of
property
damage.   VOC's (volatile organic
compounds, smog formers)- VOC's
are let into the air when fuel is burned.
This chemical can cause cancer. 
It can also harm plants.   NOx (nitrogen
dioxide)- This chemical
forms smog.  It is also formed by burning
sources of energy, like gas,
coal, and oil, and by cars.  This chemical
causes problems in the
respiratory system (including the lungs). 
It causes acid rain, and it can
damage trees.  This chemical can eat
away buildings and
statues.  CO (carbon monoxide)- The
source of this chemical is burning
sources of energy.  It causes blood
vessel problems and respiratory failures.  PM-10 (particulate matter)- The
source of this chemical is
plowing and burning down fields.  It can
cause death and lung damage. 
It can make it hard for people to breathe. 
The smoke, soot, ash, and dust
formed by this chemical can make many
cities dirty.  Sulfur Dioxide-
This chemical is produced by making
paper and metals.  This chemical can
cause permanent lung damage.  It can
cause acid rain which kills trees and
damages building and statues.  Lead-
This chemical is in paint, leaded
gasoline, smelters, and in lead storage
batteries.  It can cause many brain
and nerve damages and digestive
problems.
 
. . . . So, let change the world, now or never.



Undergoing
MyBlogLog Verification

Opera Turbo

Bagi temen2 yang biasa ngeblog atau browsing internet pake Opera nih saya kasih kabar gembira. . . BARCELONA- Sebuah layanan
baru akan diluncurkan oleh
Opera yang bertepatan dengan
Mobile World Confrence
(MWC), di Barcelona, pekan
depan. Apa itu?
Browser anyar yang diberi
nama Opera Turbo, diklaim
oleh pengembangnya mampu
menjelajah jagat maya
secepat turbo. Bahkan, Opera
mengatakan, kecepatannya
mampu memotong data hingga
80 persen, atau sekitar 71
persen jika di laptop.
Namun, seperti Opera Mini,
Opera Turbo yang lebih
dikhususkan untuk ponsel
cerdas adalah, server-side
optimasi tool yang sepertinya
akan membutuhkan sebuah
server yang dibuat oleh Opera.
Demikian yang dilansir PC
Magazine, Minggu (15/2/2009).
"Opera Turbo telah
menggunakan teknologi canggih
untuk mempercepat transfer
data dan untuk mengurangi
jumlah data yang perlu
diunduh untuk melihat halaman
tersebut," ujar juru bicara
Opera dalam keterangan resmi
yang ditulis di blognya.
"Solusi ini juga dirancang
agar kompatibel dengan Opera
Browser, Opera Mobile, dan
Opera Perangkat SDK. Selain
itu, Opera Turbo memiliki
mekanisme untuk memotong
optimasi server yang cepat
dan membuat koneksi langsung
ke internet, " sambungnya.
Opera ini akan diluncurkan di
MWC 2009 yang mencakup
demonstrasi teknologi Opera.
Opera Turbo, akan
diujicobakan pada HTC HD,
Samsung Omnia, dan Sony
Ericsson Xperia, plus konsol
game. (srn)
. . Kita tunggu aja, kira2 bisa menutup kekurangan Opera seri sebelumnya apa gak, sehingga untuk mengedit blog tidak perlu lg menjalankan 2 atau tiga aplikasi Opera mini dan Opera mini modif. smoga jadi solusi bt para Bloger Indonesia yg lbih seneng mengedit atau posting dgn Opera Software.


Couses Global Warming

What causes global warming?
 
Many things cause global warming.  One
thing that causes global
warming is electrical pollution. 
Electricity causes pollution in many
ways, some worse than others.  In most
cases, fossil fuels are burned to
create electricity.  Fossil fuels are made
of dead plants and
animals.  Some examples of fossil fuels
are oil and petroleum.  Many
pollutants (chemicals that pollute the
air, water, and land) are sent into the
air when fossil fuels are burned.  Some of
these chemicals are called
greenhouse gasses.
We use these sources of energy much
more than the sources that give off
less pollution.  Petroleum, one of the
sources of energy, is used a
lot.  It is used for transportation, making
electricity, and making many
other things.  Although this source of
energy gives off a lot of pollution,
it is used for 38% of the United States'
energy.
 

it is used for 38% of the United States'
energy.
 
Some other examples of using energy and
polluting the air are:
Turning on a light
 Watching T.V.  Listening to a stereo
 Washing or
drying clothes  Using a hair dryer  Riding
in a
car  Heating a meal in the microwave

 Using an air
conditioner
Playing a video game  Using a dish washer
When you do these things, you are
causing more greenhouse gasses to be
sent
into the air.  Greenhouse gasses are sent
into the air because creating the
electricity you use to do these things
causes pollution.  If you think of
how many times a day you do these
things, it's a lot.  You even have to add
in how many other people do these
things!  That turns out to be a lot of
pollutants going into the air a day
because of people like us using
electricity.
The least amount of electricity you use,
the better.
 
When we throw our garbage away, the
garbage goes to landfills. 
Landfills are those big hills that you go
by on an expressway that stink. 
They are full of garbage.  The garbage is
then sometimes burned.  This
sends an enormous amount of
greenhouse gasses into the air and
makes global
warming worse.
Another thing that makes global warming
worse is when people cut down
trees.  Trees and other plants collect
carbon dioxide (CO2), which is a
greenhouse gas.
Carbon dioxide is the air that our body
lets out when we breathe. With
fewer trees, it is harder for people to
breathe because there is more CO2 in the
air, and we don't breathe CO2, we breathe
oxygen.  Plants collect the CO2
that we breathe out, and they give back
oxygen that we breathe in.  With
less trees and other plants, such as
algae, there is less air for us, and more
greenhouse gases are sent into the air.
This means that it is very important to
protect our trees to stop the greenhouse
effect, and also so we can breathe and
live.
This gas, CO2, collects light and heat
(radiant energy), produced by the
sun, and this makes the earth warmer. 
The heat and light from the sun is
produced in the center of the sun.  (The
sun has layers just like the
earth.)
