Global CO2 level surpasses 400 mark, poses serious environmental threat: NOAA.

By -



World’s biggest environmental problem, global warming is on its heights, as a new report from National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has warned that global CO2 (major contributor to global warming) emission has break all the records by reaching 400 parts per million (ppm) mark in March 2015. The report suggests that it is the highest ever concentration of CO2 in recent history.
Pieter Tans, lead researcher NOAA’s Global Greenhouse Gas Reference Network, said this isn’t the first time that CO2 level has surpassed 400 ppm mark. Back in 2012 Arctic sites were recorded with over 400 ppm of CO2 level. However, surpassing the mark on the global scale is a significant milestone, said Tans.
Researchers blame burning fossil fuels in excess either for industries or for transportation as a prime reason behind rising CO2 level. Scientists also addressed the fact that the major rise in concentration of CO2 was seen after industrialization. According to reports, global carbon dioxide concentrations which used to be under 300 ppm have seen a rise of more than 120 parts per million since pre-industrial times.
World is already facing several unpredictable environmental changes including melting of glaciers, global rise of water level, unprecedented temperature variation, increasing air-related diseases, etc. This report has further increased the woes for entire world. This is also a major cause of worry for India, as most of the agriculture depends on rain, and non-uniform rain due to global warming would ruin the crops. Also, if nothing is done to control the CO2 concentration, Himalayas will melt causing drastic weather changes and rise in sea level.
The research was based on samples of air collected from 40 sites globally. “We choose to sample at these sites because the atmosphere itself serves to average out gas concentrations that are being affected by human and natural forces. At these remote sites we get a better global average,” noted Ed Dlugokencky, the NOAA scientist who manages the global network.

Moreover, NOAA is an American scientific agency which focuses on the conditions on Oceans and the atmosphere. NOAA also warns of dangerous weather, charts seas and skies, guides the use and protection of ocean and coastal resources, and conducts research to improve understanding and stewardship of the environment.

INDIA WON’T SUPPRESS TEWARI’S FREE ENERGY GENERATOR.

India considers its own free energy program a matter of national pride, and is very much willing to risk antagonizing Petrodollar countries with its support on Reactionless AC Synchronous Generator (RLG) invented by its own Paramahamsa Tewari, an electrical engineer and former Executive Director of Nuclear Power Corporation of India. Years ago, Tewari had also proven the theories inside Bruce de Palma’s homopolar engine which first exposed this writer to the world of free energy technologies. Obviously, a country cannot implement its own free energy program without considering all possible consequence including a military response from Petrodollar countries, e.g. Saudi Arabia, UK, US. That’s why India has been aligning its own military program with that of Russia which at present is standing up, together with the BRICS countries, against the Nazionist cabal that is imposing all sorts of sanctions to destroy the Russians. The BRICS alliance has in the past promised to rele

Google Earth discovers stone gates in Saudi Arabia: Precursor to more mysterious civilization?

Saudi Arabia is widely considered a barren desert in the ancient ages, but a new discovery hints that the country was home to various archeological sites in the past which are yet to be discovered. A study conducted with the help of Google Earth has discovered ancient giant stone gates in Saudi Arabia, supposedly the remnants of an ancient civilization. With the help of Google Earth imagery, scientists have discovered more than 400 stone gates which were not documented before in the country. David Kennedy, the researcher at the University of Western Australia said that these stone structures will not be visible at the ground level, but once we move up a few hundred feets, these stone gates stand out beautifully lined up. He added that the gates will be visible in satellite images too. "I refer to them as Gates because when you view them from above they look like a simple field gate lying flat, two upright posts on the sides, connected by one or more long bars," said

Google has patented the ability to control a robot army.

                                                  US PATENT & TRADEMARK OFFICE After getting a patent for giving robots personalities last month, Google now wants to unleash an army of   Rodney Dangerfield bots   on the world.   In a   patent awarded  today, the company outlines a system for “allocating tasks to a plurality of robotic devices.” This sounds innocuous enough—it could mean linking a series of factory robots together, or perhaps a gaggle of Roombas to clean a large house—but the potential is much greater. Google’s patent outlines methods for connecting a series of robots over the cloud to complete tasks, but it doesn’t put a limit on how many robots could be managed at once. The patent suggests that the robots could be controlled by a smartphone—Google’s mobile operating system is called Android, after all—with tasks doled out based on each robot’s ability to complete them. Someone could theoretically control the botswarm from anywhere in the world. As the pa
