With so much urgent talk of the the perils of the greenhouse effect and global warming these days, there is a growing public conscience about the fate of Antarcia as the harbinger of the fate of the earth itself. In fact, there is a growing trend of concerned citizens turning tosystems to help our sick earth. A more dedicate sector of the population is committing to homemade solar water heater and that is the homemade solar generator. If you are going to do this, make sure you do your research. Electrical energy is not for kids. Start by reading. Doing this gives you the power to save the earth and Antartica. If it weren't for our massive reliance on polluting sources of energy, there is fear that Antarctica would not be in such trouble. The concern is that the ice that the continent is made up of is melting quicker than normal and not freezing again as it typically does with a very predictable pattern. The concerns are that this will eventually raise the sea level enough to put major cities and land masses under water and leave millions of people homeless and/or even dead.
So who are making these claims? There are many scientists who are looking at the earth's weather patters and systems for a long time in an attempt to interpret them. The initial reason for doing this was not to calculate that implications of the greenhouse gases that are intensifying the sun's intensity and preventing the heat from escaping. Initially they wanted to study the earth for signals of impending natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and tsunamis. From the time that they have begun logging the data, they have observed a troubling pattern in events such as the changing average temperature and the rising sea level among other trends like the size of Antarctica's ice cap. And they appear only to be going.

Then they start seeking out answers to why this is occuring and the answer is typically global warming. They reference the surge in gases like carbon dioxide which are allegedly increasing because of the millions of cars and machinery that burn oil based products worldwide. Supposedly this changes the qualities of the atmosphere that hold in the energy from the sun much like a green house does. What people don't realize is that these are all theories to explain trends in the environment that no one has any clue about. It is a fact that Antarctica melts in areas and at different times. Since we have begun keeping records of these events, there is evidence that the land mass is shrinking, but this is very erroneous thinking.

Of course it has only been a few decades since we have had the ability to make specialized measurements like this. It may seem like that is enough time to make good predictions about the earth which is millions of year old (some say billions). You just can't make definitive statements about trends that may just be natural cycles that are 500 years in length. Even 100 year or 50 year cycles would not have been fully measured yet. So we must calm down and not take ourselves so seriously. We know much less about Antarctica's slow meltdown and many other phenomena that appear to be trending towards the same critical point than we realize. We may not know the truth but that should not stop you from making a difference by putting in a homemade solar water heater or solar generator. Make a difference today.
