Do you think weather forecasting requires a degree in meteorology? Here's a new way to forecast the weather with more accuracy and less knowledge.

Mobile Virus Hoax

Its worth asking if perhaps, if its true, that we've grown so frustrated by the trails and tribulations of the summer that we've forgotten how to enjoy the real harvests of the summer.

Do You Live in a Flood Zone - 12% of Americans Do!

Over 12% of the United States population lives within a flood zone and even more people live close to the ocean, which means they are also potentially in danger of being flooded out by excessively high tides high, tsunamis or hurricanes storm surges. We have all heard of the famous fifth-year flood or the hundred year flood study if we look at Environmental Impact Reports and building codes or master plans for most municipalities and counties.

Disastrous Floods Kill Tens of Thousands Every Year

Every year disastrous floods kill tens of thousands of people. In fact every year in the last four decades, no less than 30,000 people were killed due to flooding in the world. Most years it was well over 100,000. Floods are nothing new to human civilizations, as humans need to live near water supplies and areas of drainage or large rivers.

Urban Heat, Global Warming, Space Radiation, Earth Core Spin Cycle; Which is It?

The debate over Global Warming is heating up; perhaps that is what is making the ambient temperatures rise only 1.5 degrees in the last 50 years. Insignificant you think 1.5 degrees? Well not if you talk to the French Scientists who swear all this is being caused by CO2 emissions. Is it really now?

If Global Warming is Not Real Then What Normal Cycles are Causing the Planet to Heat Up?

Despite what the media says not all scientists go for the Global Warming Theory. In fact, many cannot believe that the Theory has gotten this far. The reality is that the Earth has only heated up some 1.5 degrees average over the last 50 years and we cannot even be sure that is accurate because the measurements back then were not as good as today.

Predict the Weather As Well as the Guy on TV

Ice storms in the Midwest and subzero cold fronts through the North make it an interesting time for weather watchers. The net has many resources for both weather enthusiasts and folks who just want to know if they need bring an umbrella with them to work in the morning.

Scientists: Bleak Future Due to Global Warming

A group of scientists is about to release the first segment of a four-part report about how much worse human-caused global warming will affect the future of mankind. The first segment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will be released in Paris next week. This was written by more than 600 scientists and reviewed by another 600 experts and edited by bureaucrats from 154 countries.

Climate Change? I've Got Some Swampland To Sell You

Many scientists believe that Katrina was brought on by Climate Change. Warmer waters mean more powerful storms. Without apologies, nature fights back.

Ocean Wave Energy Generation is Promising; What about a Tsunami or Hurricane Storm Surge?

Several ocean wave electricity generation concepts have been considered over the years and now some of these are coming to reality. In fact both Pelamis Company and Fieldstone Energy Corp have great designs, but can they withstand a direct hit from a Cat Five Hurricane Storm Surge? On the Pelamis design one does indeed have to wonder, although their engineers must have considered this or perhaps they are not planning such infrastructure projects in Hurricane Prone areas?

Solutions to Global Warming, Climate Change and Climate Crisis Considered

Many folks especially environmentalists wish to tear down civilization to stop Climate Change and yet in doing so they would make human societies so weak that they could not cope with the repercussions of too hot and then too cold after the climate cliff hits the tipping point. We need to talk about solutions to Global Warming, Climate Change or Climate Crisis or what ever you wish to call it without condemning everyone and starting the international blame games. Recently one member of a think tank said

Earthquakes in Wellington

Wellington, capital of New Zealand and home for almost all of my years, is famous for being one of the most windy cities in the world, and also one of the most earthquake prone, situated on the very juncture between the restless Pacific and Australian tectonic plates

The Effects Global Warming May Have On Our Planet

While many realize that global warming is occurring on our planet, few understand the implications that this may have on our way of life. These rising global temperatures are going to cause a host of changes on our planet, and we need to act now or prepare to adjust to some very profound changes.

Weather Radios - How They Work

This is the second of a series of three articles on weather radios. This article pertains to how weather radios work. The final article will be about finding a weather radio that suits each individual's needs.
