Stop emitting CO2 or geoengineering could be our only hope

The future of the Earth could rest on potentially dangerous and unproven geoengineering technologies unless emissions of carbon dioxide can be greatly reduced, the latest Royal Society report has found.
The report (published 1st September, by the Royal Society(1), the UK’s national academy of science) found that unless future efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are much more successful than they have been so far, additional action in the form of geoengineering will be necessary if we are to cool the planet.
Geoengineering technologies were found to be very likely to be technically possible and some were considered to be potentially useful to augment the continuing efforts to mitigate climate change by reducing emissions. However, the report …

Solar Technology Pros & Cons

Sun power is one of the best and most effective renewable energy sources available. The problem most novice environmental warriors find is that the price of professionally installed solar power systems is way beyond their budget and it could take well over 10 years to see a return on their investment. Never fear, there are alternatives. The most cost-effective way to take advantage of a solar system is the construction of solar panels on your own. What you need is instructions to build a solar panel!
Too difficult? If you are scared it would be difficult, it is just not true. It is not difficult to build solar panels with the proper instructions. Easy enough for …
