Why is our Earth warming up?
The concentration of carbon in living matter (18%) is almost 100 times greater than its concentration in the earth (0.19%). So living things extract carbon from their nonliving environment. For life to continue, this carbon must be recycled. That is our topic.
Carbon exists in the nonliving environment as:
carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere [...]
The Dirty Energy Conspiracy - Why do they hide the radiant energy from us?
[The following is excerpted from Peter lindemann’s longer essay, which includes a theory as to the reason(s) the promise of advanced energy technologies have not been developed and introduced into the market. Such “conspiracy theories” are discussed elsewhere.]
In the late 1880s, trade journals in the electrical sciences were predicting “free electricity” in the [...]
