Al Gore latest slideshow presentation:

It shows the urgent situation the planet is in.
I salute his sense of urgency and his message for us to adopt sustainable energy.
He argues that we are now in Global crisis.
Yet we are also at a point in history to make historic changes.
Abraham Lincoln's generation is a generation is a generation who make descions to abolish slavery. And hundreds year later, we still applaud that generation for making the right decision.
Let ours be a generation to adopt massive changes to switch to sustainable
green energy. [Solar /wind / wave] And a thousand years from now, the people would look back and say: "That is the generation that make the right choices and steer the world in the correct direction. This is the generation that resolutely resolves the climate issue and introduce the right type of energy resource for all the future generations. "
Let's act NOW , and let's make History.
Cheers and best wishes,

Share research information about Global Warming
Hi friends,
I have done quite a bit of research into the urgent issue of global warming these few months.
Provide some links to the most updated news:
The following are some youtube documentaries about climate change and it's solutions:

Global Warming Time to act [A scroll of the latest effects of global warming] http://www.suprememastertv.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=featured&wr_id=109
...........
The melting of Arctic and Antarctic Ice would speed up the raise in ocean temperature.
If the sea gets warm by a few degrees, it would cause the huge amounts of Methane Hydrates
in the ocean to melt and cause massive release of Methane gas.
The last time in history that this happens is 55 million years ago.
When that happens 94 % of life on Earth is wiped out : ( : ( : (
Problems of methane gas release from oceans:
Gas Releases Helped End Ice Ages:

Methane Bubbling From Arctic Lakes, Now And At End Of Last Ice Age: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/10/071025174618.htm
Arctic lakes have already started to emit Methane gas. The Earth is in a perilous situation now.
: ( : (
.............
The good news is that we can still revise the effects now but will require the population
in the planet to adopt life style changes.
The way to save the planet lies in 4 steps.
1. Reduce Meat consumption. [Adopt a more plant-based diet]
Meat industry is very very destructive to the environment.
It accounts for :
20 % of green house gas emission.
70% of deforestation of the Amazon forest.
Extensive usage of food, water and land resources.
[In South America, 400 million hectares of soya crops are fed to animals for human consumption, only 25 million hectares would be needed be needed to directly feed
all the humans in the world. ]
Pollution of land and water resources. etc
As long as the demand is there, the meat industry would be there and continue to
cause destruction to the planet.
Only a major reduction in meat consumption can drop the demand and brake the meat
industry so that the land, water would have time to recover.
Government, Vege clubs, religious groups need to join in to help.
The UN knows about this and it's chief is urging the world .
"Don't eat meat, ride a bike and live fugally."
The world leaders [government] are listening, but their action is
really slow on this issue.
2. Plant trees. Large scale.
[The world is progressing on this one. With Billionaires like Warren Buffett coming in to buy large areas of Amazon forest, just to protect it. Countries like China, Taiwan, US is having many programs ' to plant millions of trees. ]
However, Brazil has announced recently that deforestation of the Amazon Forest would be doubled this year.[2008] The main reason for deforrestation is to create land for cattle grazing, create land for growing feed crops, and to create land to grow crops for Biofuels. This is truely depressing :( : (
3. Switch to clean/green energy.
[Solar power become more efficient, hybrid cars, biofuels, biowaste factory etc. ]
4. the 3 Rs [Reduce, Recycle, Reuse]
Reduce electricity, water usage. Use Energy efficient light bulbs, use less air-con, switch off
appliances when not in use. etc.
Conserve resources.
Recycle paper/plastics. Find ways to Reuse resources.
.....
Pls pass this urgent message to friends who are concern about the environment : )
Encourage them to make lifestyle changes. Everyone has to join in to save the planet
and all that live on the planet.
It's really that urgent.
Sigh. .. : (

NASA Climate Report on Global Warming-Including Interview with Professor Gerald Dickens
NASA Climate Report on Global Warming, highlights the latest findings that the Arctic ice could almost be all melted by 2012. Interview with Professor Gerald Dickens (associate Professor of Earth Sciences, Rice University, USA) on carbon dioxide in the Oceans. Dr Katey Walter report that Methane gas bubbling up from Artic Lakes adds to Global warming. It also contains an urgent message to adopt life style changes to brake global warming.
Climate Change: A Planetary Emergency
Global warming as a planetary Emergency. Ice shrinking at alarming rate. Greenland ice loss. Artic and Antartic ice loss. Premafrost layers melt. Increase ocean temperature etc. Steps to brake Global warming.

His reasoning is rational and his arguments are unbeatable :)

Latest Evidence of Global Warming - Part 1
Interviews with Climate Scientist on Global warming and it's solutions. [Artic ice melting, Oceans getting warmer, sea level rising etc] Very informative and detailed.
National Geographic "Effects of Global temperature rise"
Hi friends,
I came across this series of "Effects of Global Temperature increase - degree by degree "
produced by National Geographic.
Tried to link them in my blog but could only linked the 4/5/6 degrees warmer.
Place the youtube link of 2/3 degrees warmer in this post so that anyone who is
interested could click on the link and watch from youtube.
Attached the 4/5/6 degrees warmer youtube links too :)
National geographic : 2 Degrees Warmer: Ocean life in danger.

National geographic : 3 Degrees Warmer: Heat Wave Fatalities: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rdLu7wiZOE&NR=1
National geographic : 4 Degrees Warmer: Great cities washed away:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skFrR3g4BRQ&NR=1
National geographic : 5 Degrees Warmer: Civilization collapse
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nRf2RTqANg&feature=related
National geographic : 6 degrees Warmer: Mass Extinction?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8qmaAMK4cM&feature=related
National Geographics are producing such good films.
They should broadcast it in the media so that the public would understand the urgency
of this issue. : (
