Scientists Say New Observations in the Arctic Make Higher Sea-level Rise a More Urgent Concern for Miami
Jan 27th
Silver Spring, MD (Vocus) October 25, 2009
According to Dr. Gordon Hamilton, a research professor at The University of Maine, the old estimates for rising seas due to global warming were overly optimistic. Fresh data from the poles now indicates between three and four feet or more of rise by the year 2100 or sooner, which will have much more of an impact on Miami and the nation, he said. The scientists also provided a graphic demonstration of how high the water could get in just a few decades.
Dr. Hamilton is active in current research on the rapid decline of More >
There has been an exponential increase in the numbers of earthquakes why?
Jan 27th
Question by : There has been an exponential increase in the numbers of earthquakes why? “The climate change does not only change Earth, but the effects carry out into the SOL system as far as the Kuiper Belt, and probably even much farther out into space. If the ocean currents intermingle, then they create tremendous amounts of energy through their huge masses of water, which influence the gravitational field, besides that, through the climate change also the Earth’s atmosphere contracts and compresses, which has already imperceptibly started. Through the whole thing of the already occurring climate change, More >
Q&A: Some Questions… (Geography — energy from petroleum etc)?
Jan 27th
Question by caligirl4life: Some Questions… (Geography — energy from petroleum etc)? Some questions I didn’t get.. 1) Oil in the North Sea is located about 3 kilometres below sea level. What type of oil drilling platform would be used in the North Sea? Why? Type: Why:
2)The ‘Ocean Ranger’ was an unsinkable oil drilling floating platform. What happened to it?
3) A once popular TV comedy (The Beverly Hillbillies) depicted a man shooted at a rabbit and missing – the bullet struck the ground – and out came a bubbling crude (oil). Is this situation possible; is crude oil in liquid More >
Questions about theoretical ZPE weapons? How would they work?
Jan 27th
Question by Chris G: Questions about theoretical ZPE weapons? How would they work? I’ve read an article in Popular Science years ago that described ZPE (Zero Point Energy). Basically it is an energy source that permeates the vacuum of space-time itself. According to the scientist who wrote the article, there is enough inherent ZPE inside a conventional light bulb to boil an ocean!
If a weapon were created based on ZPE, what form would it take?
A bomb? A laser?
Or is there any remote possibility of a ZPE weapon being developed in the near future.

Q&A: where do middle latitude cyclones acquire their energy?
Jan 27th
Question by Ashley010: where do middle latitude cyclones acquire their energy? a. Ocean currents b. The jet stream c. Friction d. Anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions
Best answer:
Answer by Michel VerheugheMid-latitudes cyclones acquire their energy from the temperature difference between the polar and temperature air masses. Meteorology is all about the thermodynamic effects of air masses with different pressure, moisture and temperature.
Mid-latitudes cyclones are born between what is called the Ferrel and the Polar cells.
The jet streams are simply the result of a kink in the tropopause where the warmer air lifts it higher than on the cold polar side. Here, the warmer More >
Scientists Say New Observations in The Arctic Make Higher Sea-Level Rise a More Urgent Concern for Wilmington Area
Jan 26th
Wilmington, NC (Vocus) October 28, 2009
Dr. Robert Bindschadler, NASA chief scientist, brought with him the most detailed maps and made-for-TV video animations yet of exactly what could go underwater this century in this area.
According to Bindschadler, the old estimates for rising seas due to global warming were overly optimistic. Fresh data from the poles now indicates a minimum of three feet of rise by the year 2100 or sooner, which will have much more of an impact on Wilmington and the nation, he said.
The scientist and others present also provided a graphic demonstration of how high the water More >
Scientists Say New Observations in the Arctic Make Higher Sea-level Rise a More Urgent Concern for Seven Cities Area

Norfolk, VA (Vocus) October 29, 2009
Dr. Robert Bindschadler, NASA chief scientist, and Dr. Jim White, Professor at The University of Colorado at Boulder, brought with them the most detailed maps and made-for-TV video animations yet of exactly what could go underwater this century in this area.
According to Drs. Bindschadler and White, the old estimates for rising seas due to global warming were overly optimistic. Fresh data from the poles now indicates a minimum of three feet of rise by the year 2100 or sooner, which will have much more of an impact on the Seven Cities area and the More >
Which of the following is most likely best to use out of the following as our viable alternative energies?
Jan 26th
Question by Nate: Which of the following is most likely best to use out of the following as our viable alternative energies? Synfuels, passive and active solar heating, photovoltaic solar cells, biomass, hydrogen fuel cells, wind energy, hydropower, geothermal energy, geothermal heat pumps, ocean power
Best answer:
Answer by Bleep66This question mostly depends on the geographic location and resources available. For example wind would be a great possibility in the midwest because of the Great Plains, whereas it might not be the best alternative in the northwest of the U.S. because of forests and mountains. Solar power would be More >
What would happen if I dropped an atom bomb on a hurricane?
Jan 26th
Question by jrg: What would happen if I dropped an atom bomb on a hurricane? I’m talking about intercepting the hurricane while its still in the wide open ocean. The bomb would concuss the surrounding air mass therefore dessipitating the vortex and inturrupting the energy feed.
