Global Warming Worldwide

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/28/2011 -- A recent profile study made an important discovery for future plants and animals on Earth: accelerating global warming caused by human activities decreases the size of all species of plants and animals. The most obvious example is that of polar bears, which large specimens have not been seen for two decades in the wild.

Climate changes not only have a major impact on human populations, but also on sources of food such as cereals or ocean fish banks. The species of wild animals that can not adapt quickly enough to climate changes are at the most risk of extinction, with dramatic changes to ecosystems in which they lived.

Researchers believe that a warmer and more arid climate will decrease the size of plants and animals, mainly due to decrease of water resources in their ecosystems.

Over the past century, several types of animals, including turtles, tits, frogs or deers are becoming increasingly smaller.

The decrease of Arctic glaciers in recent years has led to considerable smaller polar bears. Because their environment is shrinking they must adapt and become smaller so they will survive in the future but the scientists are not sure if the polar bears can keep up with the accelerated pollution and they might face extinction.

Reduction of food reserves will affect especially the animals that are at the top of the food chain, including people who in the future will be increasingly smaller, will have fewer children and more vulnerable to disease.

In the last century, global average temperature has increased by almost one degree (Celsius), but after increasing industrialization scientists believe that around year 2100 the average temperature will be 7 degrees higher than today and this mean an mass extinction of animals and plants and possible humans.

A separate study conducted over 1700 species of plants and animals, proved that 80% of them moved their living area with 6.1 kilometers north every ten years and 87% bloom or begin the mating season two days earlier each decade.

Experimental studies have found that for every degree (Celsius) above the global average temperature, the plants lose about 17% of their size and the fish are becoming about 22% smaller.

Global warming is becoming a bigger problem with each year in which we are still using fossil fuels to produce our growing need for energy. But if we want to save our Planet and all it's live we must change our ways of producing energy.

We can change our future but only if everyone as individuals decide to make a difference and reduce their pollution footprint. We must start to produce home made energy and become energy independents so we don't have to buy polluted energy from the big electric companies anymore.

China remains among the largest investors in alternative green energy and the U.S. is losing the second place in favor of Germany in the same ranking because of economic problems, Spain has problems with their regions and other countries are struggling with the economic crisis and are unable to invest in alternative energy researching.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/03/2011 -- The United States lost a position among the largest investors in green energy, given the lack of a national energy policy that has negative effects on solar and wind energy purchase as well as other forms of energy.

China is in the first place in the top and Germany in second place, according to the report "Who's Winning the Clean Energy Race" conducted by the Pew Charitable Trusts, an independent non-profit according to Reuters.

Last year the U.S. came in second place, losing the top position against China. U.S. investments in green energy totaled 34 billion dollars last year, up 51 percent from a year earlier but still below the 54.4 billion dollars invested by China or the 41.2 billion invested by Germany.

The global investments in green energy of the entire group of 20 richest nations increased by 33 percent from the last year reaching 198 billion dollars, the rising of the investments is explained by the fact that the savings for the economic crisis have exceeded the period of recession and are able to lay off more money for alternative energy research.

Japan increases taxes for the reconstruction effort

Japan leading political party is considering proposals to reduce taxes for companies and corporations and raising taxes on individuals, so you get more money for reconstruction efforts following the devastating earthquake on March 11.

Japanese Prime Minister, Naoto Kan, said Tuesday it will be taken into account several sources for money to rebuild but that all these alternative sources will be discussed and decided public, informs Bloomberg.

On the other hand increasing taxes could have a devastating effect on economic growth. Some legislators have suggested that the most appropriate measure would be the Japanese central bank to buy debt securities to lend direct from the government to support infrastructure reconstruction and repair of damaged cities.

"An increase in taxes could have the effect of lower consumption in the population given that consumption in households is already affected," said Noria Miyagawa, senior economist at the Tokyo company analysis. "If the government quit reducing taxes on corporations and companies this could accelerate the collapse of Japan's economy."

The best way for us to reduce our electricity bills and save money is to start producing home made energy for our household. The future of energy is alternative green energy source, becoming self sufficient and reduce our pollution footprint.
