The Dawn of The End - 臥龍



The Dawn of The End - 臥龍

This is @ Wulong; Sichuan; China.

It is a coal fire plant. I am informed that the coals used for power generation in China shall be smoke & pollutants free.

However, when you looking at the atmosphere here, you can see the smokes; smog; heat & pollutions.

Coal have created many millionaires in China those poor provinces & cities. But Coal energy plants pollutants & containments would be the source to destroy China & the world.

Perhaps I am wrong the last I wrote about, my spiritual guru Kong Ming Zhuge Liang never foresee these about 200A.D..

In fact in his scripts, he did mentioned that the Fire is the cause of killing every lives of this world including China.


That is well explained why the bamboos are dying ; the Pandas are dying.


By the way, I snap this on the coach at 3,500m elevation, the road condition is bad.

This is great shot.

Romantic Dusk @ AhBaZhou

Romantic Dusk @ AhBaZhou

This is the beautiful dusk @ AhBaZhou, the original home town of Panda.

The road condition is no good, very bumpy. I snaped this shot on the coach. The pollutants; dusts; Smog & mists & fogs make up this beautiful scene.

My Late Guru Zhu Ker Liang would never imaging his hide out become such polluted today. Otherwise he would have written on his predictions.

N.B.


I am in the most critical danger in this trip, as I am traveling with my daughter & not escorted by the officials. Taking picture like these are consider sensitives issues, it underline many ill practices between local & foreign officials & businessmen.

My daughter have experiences & witnessed many narrow escape that I have to deal with the lower form of human beings.

You see exporting of manufacturing activities, exported the manufactured waste & pollutants to China as well.

China main issue on Global Worming Plus the Green & Sustainability mainly due to:

1. Rapid industrialization of 2nd wave industries to fulfill the demand of the developed & developing nations needs.

2. Increase jobs to cut down the poverty level, after moving into Market Economy. Which they need electric power to power the economy & provide jobs. Which they relies lots on coal fire power. That is the main cause you see the pink layer in the air.

3. According to the research I read, each human being manufactured about 50 Cubic tons of carbon P.A. Then when you compute the total carbon manufactured by 1.5Billions populations. Then you see the actual figure that human produce carbon in the air.

4. Rapid industrialization cut down lots of trees in China & also the Businessmen cut more trees to bring in to China to produce the goods & build factories or building materials etc...

So, as you read all my comments, China polluted the whole world is not because of China do it by itself, it is a highly connected world economy that make these pollutions in a circle & they are all involved.

Therefore, it is not right & no Point to just pointing to China.

The most important is how the Power & Political elites on this world to work together to act together to resolve these critical issues now before it is too late.

Beside China, India ( With 1Billions population & Coal fire power for the heavy industries) is another country that facing the same!!

I hope everyone can see these more clearly now.


Anyway, this is a great treasure shot.

It is like a Chinese reality painting.

Thanks for your visit, fave; comments.

Enjoy!!

How To Heal A Sick Office

From replacing synthetic materials to letting the sun shine in, cleaning up a toxic workplace is easier than you think

Ever since cubicles sprouted up in office buildings 40 years ago, inhabitants have been under assault. Chemicals in carpet glue, cleaning supplies, and printer cartridges can cause headaches, dizziness, lethargy, rashes, nausea, and respiratory irritation. This could be solved by pumping in lots of fresh air, but the windows in most modern office buildings are sealed shut. Then there's the space allocation: A typical office worker gets about 40 sq. ft.—less than a third as much as in the 1970s. Dozens of studies have documented the toll all this takes on body and mind. How are we ever going to blossom into globally networked, branded superstars while trapped in shrinking cubicle farms bathed in foul fumes?

The fix may be simpler than you think. Healing sick offices is generally a matter of replacing synthetic materials with natural alternatives, improving the flow of fresh air, and letting some natural light shine in. Healthy options—including clever techniques for pumping sunlight deep into a building's recesses—are proliferating. And while it's hard right now to know which microscopic evils may be lurking in your cubicle, the next decade will bring cheap consumer tests for airborne toxins and pathogens. Scientists are also working on newfangled materials to mix into coatings that can suck toxins out of the air.

But don't wait for these magic developments. Managers who start cleaning and brightening up their employees' workspaces right away can expect to be rewarded with lower costs, fewer incidents of illness and absenteeism, higher productivity, and the recruitment of better-qualified staff. A 2003 study of call centers found that workers with window views processed calls 6% to 12% faster, performed up to 25% better on mental acuity tests, and reported fewer health problems than their peers in conventionally lit spaces.

Businesses that do right by cubicle-dwellers may also find that they're doing good for the environment. That will bring benefits down the road. Letting in more natural light cuts a company's energy consumption, and that matters to earth-conscious job seekers. In a study by office goods supplier Corporate Express, 64% of workers—from the mail room to the executive suite—said their decision to work for a company is guided in part by its green practices.

Here are some of the things that sap health and morale in the workspace, and ways to make them better.

Stanwell Power station



This Coal fired Power Plant, are the main electric power resourceses for Power hungry China.

When the Developed Countries export the manufacturing base to China.

The Industries Waste such as these are also exported.

The Coal industry in Wales once was shut down in the 70's & 80's, but I believed that now China is buying Coal from Country like Wales; Australia..etc.

In my discussion with the authority concern, I am advocating alternative energy such as Solar; Wind & Geo Thermal or Bio-Waste for electric city generations.

However, it is difficult for them to accept the facts that that is best solution.

As for the balance of trade between provinces & also the balance of trade between countries internationally. For Economic reason & financial gain for both end & in private, trading of coal & fossil fuel have created many millionaires.

What can I do for now is just to express my opinion here for all to think about!!

Populations & Pollutions

The following report is adapted from Gail Orenstein.

In my opinion, I do agreed with Prof. John Guillebaud, In addition to that, the human wastes; plus the human manufactured wastes are added to the cause of green house effect.

The other issue that contributing to the Global warming are the Houses that built re 2nd war world till 1990. The technology have not been use to maintain a constant temperature, is use fossil fuel; coal energy to warm up or cool down the home or building.

Please read the following for more.....

Environmental group-Children 'bad for planet'!! "If couples had two children instead of three they could cut their family's carbon dioxide output by the equivalent of 620 return flights a year between London and New York. "

HAVING large families should be frowned upon as an environmental misdemeanour in the same way as frequent long-haul flights, driving a big car and failing to reuse plastic bags, says a report to be published today by a green think tank.

The paper by the Optimum Population Trust will say that if couples had two children instead of three they could cut their family's carbon dioxide output by the equivalent of 620 return flights a year between London and New York.

Full coverage: Climate change in-depth

John Guillebaud, co-chairman of OPT and emeritus professor of family planning at University College London, said: "The effect on the planet of having one child less is an order of magnitude greater than all these other things we might do, such as switching off lights.

"The greatest thing anyone in Britain could do to help the future of the planet would be to have one less child."

In his latest comments, the academic says that when couples are planning a family they should be encouraged to think about the environmental consequences.

"The decision to have children should be seen as a very big one and one that should take the environment into account," he added.

Professor Guillebaud says that, as a general guideline, couples should produce no more than two offspring.

The world's population is expected to increase by 2.5 billion to 9.2 billion by 2050. Almost all the growth will take place in developing countries.

The population of developed nations is expected to remain unchanged and would have declined but for migration.

The British fertility rate is 1.7. The EU average is 1.5. Despite this, Professor Guillebaud says rich countries should be the most concerned about family size as their children have higher per capita carbon dioxide emissions.

I have read the report on some research that the Trouts & Salmon have bi-sexual organs is also due to the same chemical compound found in the Colorado river.

Perhaps, it would do the same for human as well.

This is an alarming concern for us & our future generations.

IceCapMelting

Arctic ice cap melting 30 years ahead of forecast --- Tue May 1, 3:09 PM
By Deborah Zabarenko, Environment Correspondent
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Arctic ice cap is melting much faster than expected and is now about 30 years ahead of predictions made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a U.S. ice expert said on Tuesday.
This means the ocean at the top of the world could be free or nearly free of summer ice by 2020, three decades sooner than the global panel's gloomiest forecast of 2050.
No ice on the Arctic Ocean during summer would be a major spur to global warming, said Ted Scambos, a glaciologist at the National Snow and Ice Center in Colorado.
"Right now ... the Arctic helps keep the Earth cool," Scambos said in a telephone interview. "Without that Arctic ice, or with much less of it, the Earth will warm much faster."
That is because the ice reflects light and heat; when it is gone, the much darker land or sea will absorb more light and heat, making it more difficult for the planet to cool down, even in winter, he said.
Scambos and co-authors of the study, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, used satellite data and visual confirmation of Arctic ice to reach their conclusions, a far different picture than that obtained from computer models used by the scientists of the intergovernmental panel.
"The IPCC report was very careful, very thorough and cautious, so they erred on the side of what would certainly occur as opposed to what might occur," Scambos said in a telephone interview.
ICE-FREE SUMMER
The wide possibility of what might occur included a much later melt up north, or a much earlier one, Scambos said.
"It appears we're on pace about 30 years earlier than expected to reach a state where we don't have sea ice or at least not very much in late summer in the Arctic Ocean," he said.
He discounted the notion that the sharp warming trend in the Arctic might be due to natural climate cycles. "There aren't many periods in history that are this dramatic in terms of natural variability," Scambos said.
He said he had no doubt that this was caused in large part by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which he said was the only thing capable of changing Earth on such a large scale over so many latitudes.
Asked what could fix the problem -- the topic of a new report by the intergovernmental panel to be released on Friday in Bangkok -- Scambos said a large volcanic eruption might hold Arctic ice melting at bay for a few years.
But he saw a continued warm-up as inevitable in the coming decades.
"Long-term and for the next 50 years, I think even the new report will agree that we're in for quite a bit of warming," Scambos said.
"We just barely now, I think, have enough time and enough collective will to be able to get through this century in good shape, but it means we have to start acting now and in a big way."
