Handle any emergency with Howcast’s First Aid app – howc.st Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is essential to prevent global warming, part of the broader environmental concern of climate change. Here are some ways to help that may surprise you.

By Robert Rapier: One of the most controversial essays I ever wrote was “We Won’t Stop Global Warming.” I got some pretty nasty mail over that, which is pretty typical of the nastiness of that debate. www.consumerenergyreport.com

A video on the avalanche of evidence that identifies one key cause for Climate Change, Water Shortage, Food Scarcity, Deforestation, Ocean Collapse & Biodiversity loss. LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION: Supreme Master Ching Hai discusses the interlinked effects of the global livestock industry on global warming, pollution, economics, health and more. An advocate of the plant-based diet for personal and planetary health for more than two decades, she has in recent years established an international constructive television channel which also highlights the causes and effects of climate change, including through news reportage and interviews with leading scientists and climate authorities. In addition, she has facilitated live-broadcast climate change conferences on several continents featuring government officials, scientists and other representatives advancing the multi-sectoral benefits of dietary change. Widely recognized for her humanitarian works, she is a Gusi Peace Prize laureate and was awarded a US Presidential Award in September this year.

Co-generation technology has the ability to significantly reduce a power plant’s carbon footprint and increase efficiency. Compared to the 30-35% energy efficiency produced by conventional fossil fuel fired power plants, a combined heat and power (CHP) process can boast over 80% efficiency due to effective waste heat recovery. The CPH process now provides nearly 17% of our nation’s electricity and reduces expenses to the customer by 50%. In this video, industrial boiler manufacturer, Victory Energy discusses the process and dramatic benefits of co-generation technology and how it can improve your facility operations.

Efficient energy : Making savings at source www.euractiv.com EurActiv Stakeholder Workshop, Brussels, December 2011 The forecasters agree European energy consumption will rise in the decades ahead — and eclipse demand-side efficiency and conservation gains, as it does so. Electric power and heat will make up the bulk of the surge. They already account for 40% of end-use Energy consumption. So reducing CO2 emissions will requires continuous innovations and efficiency gains on the energy supply-side — producing and delivering more energy from fewer inputs. Industrial groups say that supply-side efficiency measures have the potential to significantly reduce the EU’s carbon emissions and meet primary energy savings targets. They estimate that supply-side savings could contribute up to 35% of the EU’s 2020 policy goal of a 20% carbon emissions reduction – and up to 30% of the targeted 20% increase in energy efficiency by the same date. Among the topics discussed: • Which supply-side energy efficiency measures offer the most value on the road to meeting the 2020 challenge? • What is the role for innovations such as fuel switching, plant optimisation, smart grids, combined heat and power systems and waste heat recovery? • How can we ensure that new power generation and infrastructure reflects the best available technology (BAT)? • What are the best practices and innovative models available to finance projects? • How can plant owners be enticed to invest in efficiency …
