Cats and Mice - A deadly combination for both - 0 views

  • Cats love to chase (and sometimes kill) mice. That's a given, and something that most people do not find too alarming. In fact, people in many countries still utilize "barn cats" to dispatch unwanted rodents - a win-win situation for all parties (except the rodents). The cats have plenty of food available, and the farmer is assured of grain bins undisturbed by hungry mice.

    Two large companies are developing wind energy fields in Panama. This green, clean energy will create a new source of energy for a new generation, even providing surplus energy for surrounding countries. One development, Los Pozos will have its OWN wind generation system. This will be the first green community in Panama, and will in fact create surplus energy to benefit surrounding areas.

  • China in particular has long argued that it is too poor to afford the Western luxury of environmental awareness.
  • China ranks last among 15 nations in its income group (the fifth decile), behind Vietnam. If Colombia, the group's leader, can afford environmental concern, why can't China?
  • China fares slightly better in protecting its habitat but much worse in measures of industrial ills.
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • One conclusion to be drawn from the Yale-Columbia project is the need for better data, which requires funds.
  • Experiences like the recent biofuels surge, which is driving up food prices, show how treacherous even well-intentioned decisions about the environment can be when they're uninformed.
  • The same holds for consumers, who sometimes think paying somebody to plant a few trees will compensate for flying around the world in airplanes.
  • For such decisions, data are essential. If we're going to avoid squandering our natural resources, the quicker we begin to rely more on facts and less on assumptions, the better.
  • Some countries simply lie or make up the facts.
  • Today's Russian bureaucrats may still be fudging its environmental figures.
  • Among the worst offenders were Japan, South Korea, Brazil, the United States, Italy and Paraguay.
  • (While there are good comparative data on ozone, smog also includes nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxides and other components that are poorly tracked in most nations.) Among the best industrial countries were Malaysia, the United Kingdom and all of Eastern Europe (a legacy of the Soviet nuclear program).

      desert nations how trouble with water supplies. Israel looks better than other nations.
  • Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, which have more severe water problems.
  • Brazil is another country whose high rank—34th—is deceptive.
  • Brazil is a vast land blessed with an abundance of water, which yields energy relatively cheaply with no carbon emissions
  • Brazil is now the world's fourth biggest emitter of carbon, mainly due to the felling of trees.
  • By contrast, Belgium and the Netherlands, which share much in terms of population and geography with their neighbors, suffer from neglect of the environment—particularly in protecting native habitats.

  • Fossil fuels like methane and carbon dioxide trap heat near the surface, a process known as the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon, but human activities, like the burning of fossil fuels, can pour enormous volumes of these gases into the atmosphere, raising the planet's temperature and destabilizing the climate. (Watch what happens to our planet when manmade emissions get trapped in the atmosphere )
