The use of thermostats and the insanity of it all.


The thermostat is one of the greatest inventions of all time.
You see the temperature, so let's say its summer and its hot and the outside temp is 89 degrees.
So you set the thermostat for 70 now that is a lot of work to get the house down to 70 but the system keeps pushing until the house is 70.
Ah it feels so nice.
Then the system shuts off once the temp in the house is the same as the thermostat says.
Then the temp in the house starts to build and once it goes above 70 on the thermostat the system goes on keeping the house at 70.
The cold air only blows while the system is on maintaining 70 degrees.
Now if you ask certain people they say why is the fan not blowing all the time ,and if we keep turning the temp down in the house that will constantly be blowing cold air right?
If you continue to lower the temperature in the house or leave the fan blowing the whole time this might solve the problem, but it will not stop the energy company from shutting off your power when you can't pay the bill.
Carbon footprint excluded.
Who knows, it all depends on what the thermostat says and what the temperature is outside, and what the attitude is inside?

The Circle of Life!


I know there are plenty of parents and grandparents who understand the meaning of "The Circle of Life." I suppose it doesn't really hit you until you experience it first hand.
The miracle of birth is the most amazing gift that we are given. To renew and or cleanse the soul like a swim in the ocean!
It never fails to amaze you, and it is bigger than anything else can be.
It is the succession of our race ,and the hope that there is a better day, and a better society in our future. I suppose that there is a grand plan although sometimes I think its all left to chance.
The miracle is that through doubt , sadness , glory, tragedy, triumph, having and not having.
It all comes down to being with the people we care about, and have feelings for.
It's that simple.
I am not sure what the purpose of life is, but i do know that the time spent here is best spent with our friend and families because when it comes down to it that's all we have.
And I mean All!

The Ocean is the beginning and the end!

Global Warming is warm!


Today there was a research report stating that global warming is actually going to help the health of the people on earth.
I will post the article here because I can't say it as well as the study.
The great philosopher Lewis Black said first "Eggs are good for you ,then they are bad , Make up your mind I have to Eat"
Here is the reverse opinion on global warming.
Should we worry about a sudden rise in sea level of 1/4 of one inch over the next 100 years or not?
"Make up your mind I want to go surfing"


The study by Heartland Institute, Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change, and Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP) says “mankind will be much better off in the year 2100 than it is today and therefore able to adapt to whatever challenges climate change presents.”

However, this "finding" completely contradicts the observations and predictions of most researchers in the world. It directly challenges the findings of the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) report.

The “Climate Change Reconsidered: 2011 Interim Report” was co-authored by a team of scientists recruited and led by Craig D. Idso, Robert Carter and S. Fred Singer.

It asserts that manmade greenhouse gases do not play a “substantial role” in climate change and that previous reports about the effects of global warming overestimated the situation and “failed to incorporate chemical and biological processes, which are as important as the physical ones."

However, the conclusions of the study contradict the findings of the widely cited reports of the IPCC and many climate research organizations. The IPCC says that human activities (manmade greenhouse gases) are actually responsible for climate change. According to it, CO2 contributes to the melting of polar ice caps, rising sea levels, reduced Arctic ice cover and alarming changes in the environment.

The authors of the new report say “the net effect of continued warming and rising carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere is most likely to be beneficial to humans, plants, and wildlife.”

The report says that “global warming is more likely to improve rather than harm human health because rising temperatures lead to a greater reduction in winter deaths than the increase they cause in summer deaths.”

The researchers found that global warming “benefits” not only mammals but amphibians, birds, butterflies and insects also benefit from its myriad ecological effects.

The reports also states that the Medieval Warm Period of approximately 1,000 years ago was both “global and warmer than today’s world.”
