GLOBAL WARMING ON PLANET EARTH (global warming, planet earth, carbon dioxide, greenhouse gasses, earth atmosphere, hurricanes, tornados)
If man had never appeared on Planet Earth, would the earth experience high winds, fires, hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, volcanoes and snowstorms? The answer is YES. Man does not invent these conditions. Its the earth itself, its rotation, its tilt and its subterranean movements (Plate Tectonics). What man has done is increase the severity of these environmental conditions.
Global warming is the rise in earth's average temperature due to increased greenhouse gases, mainly from human activities like burning fossil fuels. Weather refers to local atmospheric conditions occurring during short periods of time (rain, snow, clouds, winds, floods, thunderstorms). Climate change is the long-term trends in temperature, precipitation, and wind patterns, over a long period of time. The temperature aspects of climate change belongs to global warming.

Replace the phrase Climate Change with the phrase Global Ecocide which better describes total environmental destruction.

GeoTech Hydrogen favors the push for natural hydrogen from earth crust which we forecast as a reliable replacement of fossil fuels.

If we replace coal, oil, and gas with carbon-free alternatives like wind, solar, and nuclear power, that will slow down global warming but will not stop it. Increasing world populations, a complex of other energy producing sources and man's tendency to ignore rules will cause global warming to continue but at a slower pace in spite of some negative contribution. So, yes, lets slow it down.

Did you know the highest recorded temperature on Earth was 134°F in Death Valley, California, on July 10, 1913?

The coldest place on Earth was at a high ridge on the East Antarctic Plateau, where satellite data detected surface temperatures as low as -93.2°C (-136°F) in 2010.

Some scientists predict earth could be without snow by 2100 if current rising temperatures continue.

Seattle is considered the best place to live in to avoid the effects oi Climate Change.
