Global Warming Changes


When global warming first became a worldwide concern average temperatures had already climbed 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius) around the world from the year 2007 to 1880. Recently some studies have shown a different and chilling change to the previous studies. Scientists are now predicted that temperatures will rise even more between 2 to 4.5 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees to 8.1 degrees Fahrenheit). “If you take our results at face value, it certainly indicates that the climate change will be at the higher side of what’s been put forth previously, and that’s not good news” said one of the authors, Kevin Trenberth, a senior scientist in the climate analysis section at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo.

Clouds drastically influence the earth’s temperature but because of these always changing mass, being able to predict change is notoriously difficult. Researchers focused on the relationship between relative humidity and clouds. When relative humidity is high, condensation occurs and clouds form.

Regardless of scientists’ ability to accurately predict the extent of future changes, Dr. Pierrehumbert pointed out that the planet was not helpless. He said, “The only way to guard ourselves against the risk of really strong climate change is just to emit less CO2, because the one thing we know for sure is the less we emit, the less the maximum climate change is going to be,” Therefore, using products like one of EconoMagnet’s products to help reduce car and home fuel’s green house gas emissions by 20% is the easiest way to ensure we help our earth say save from further global warming.

California Fracking Problems


How safe is our drinking water? With different industries dumping chemicals into the environment, the quality of both ground water and drinking water may be compromised. Such as the California fracking companies originally had statements that said they are legally allowed to keep the information of which chemicals they are using with the water which caused the surrounding communities to be outraged. Under pressure from environmental groups and legislators in recent months, as of Tuesday the administration has issued proposed guidelines to supervise fracking by oil companies. The guidelines call for description of well locations and the chemicals used in the fracking process, which involves injecting water into the ground under high pressure to shatter shale rock in order to release oil so it can be pumped to the surface. With hopes that this guideline would be a step forward for both the fracking company and the environmentally concerned community as well if wasn’t, they were immediately criticized by environmentalists as too lenient. Hopefully through meetings and conferences before the fracking starts the fracking companies, the administration and the community can agree on a reasonable rule so that the oil can be realised for sale as soon as possible. They can’t please everyone so I wonder who they will choose this time.

Burning Fossil Fuels


It’s cold and snowy here today, and that means that furnaces across the city are on full blast.  I wonder just how much greenhouse gases will be release into the atmosphere today just from our city alone.

A standard or high efficiency furnace burns a fossil fuel such as natural gas, propane or heating oil to produce heat and warm our houses. The problem is that this type of fuel burning also releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. As we all know, carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that is causing our planet to warm up which changes our climate.  Every winter, we generate more and more greenhouse gases as we try to warm our houses.  Unfortunately, since so many of us live in cold climates, it is impossible at this point to live comfortably without heating.  So it’s like we’re caught between a rock and a hard place.  If we want comfort, the only way we know how to achieve it has the resultant that is harmful to our surroundings.

While there is still no solution to this problem, there are many ways we can try to help.  We can insulate our homes better, reduce the heat at night or when we are away from the home and close the ducts in rooms which are not used.  Every little bit helps.  That’s why we are promoting the use of products that help reduce the need for burning fuel.

Politics & Gas Prices


The question of whether the government can lower gas prices or not popped up during the second presidential debate, but neither President Obama nor former governor Mitt Romney directly answered it. Instead, they debated their energy policies, which analysts say have little immediate effect on prices at the pump.

The candidates talked about the need to expand domestic oil and gas production, boost energy efficiency and develop renewable energy; anything but the answer to the proposed question.

Since the government isn’t doing anything to lower our gas prices we might as well take matters into our own hands. Whether the government can affect gas prices or not you sure can’t but you can still save money by using the Magnetizer. It lowers your car’s fuel economy at the same time as protecting your engine, saving the environment by reducing emission by 85% and saving your money.

The Middle East and Africa User Conference


The MEAUC (Middle East and Africa User Conference) was held at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre on December 10-12, 2012. At this conference they said, "We've adopted the latest technologies to better understand our environment and biodiversity, as well as to communicate with our partners and society. The environmental data that we have collected over the years and shared with our stakeholders has enabled us to develop and implement an effective environmental regulatory and policy framework when it comes to wildlife conservation and resource management."

Environment agency show how it tracks endangered species with satellite/radio and GSM transmitter tracking devices which has made it possible to acquire detailed data on many parts of wildlife biology including habitat use, home range size, mortality, survivorship, and migration patterns.

 "We aim to continue investing in such technologies and programs to allow us to keep conserving our biodiversity and preserving the Emirate's natural heritage," Al Mubarak added. In other words their goal is to keep studying and researching like they already are doing and not to take action yet. So why not take action ourselves?

 We don’t expect you to quit your job to tie yourself to a tree when the lumberjacks come but maybe you can help with little things. Maybe even something that will benefit your pocket book and not just our environment, such as the Magnetizer. It helps the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.  If every car and furnace had one installed, then our environment would be in much better shape than it is now.  Are you willing to do your share at least?

Illness due to lowered temperatures


Some studies imply that being cold cause illness. Some arguments indicate that if you’re cold, your body is more stressed and therefore less resistant to fight a virus. Research by Cardiff University’s Common Cold Centre in Wales has proven that a drop in body temperature can cause a dormant cold virus to develop.

If a person becomes chilled, for example by wearing damp clothes in cold weather, the blood vessels in the nose become constricted. When this occurs, the warm blood is closed off and no longer supplying the infection-fighting white cells.

One study involved the effects of volunteers placing their bare feet in an empty bowl for 20 minutes or soaking their feet in a bowl containing ice cold water for the same length of time. Within five days after the experiment, more participants who had soaked their feet in cold water developed cold symptoms than the other participants.

Lowered temperature settings can cause the body to be more immune to a cold and there are not suggested by professionals.

Magnetic treatment of water and its application to agriculture


In controlled large-scale field experiments it was found that magnetic treatment affects the quality of irrigation water. It was revealed that treated water contributes to an increase in farm yields in crop farming, yield being expressed in quantity and quality of the produce and in the specific economic contribution. The level of return in individual farms depends on three key factors: the type of equipment, the water quality, and the mode of operation of the apparatus.

The objective here is increased yields, improved quality, and higher operation efficiency of the irrigation water. The proposed magnetic treatment of irrigation and drinking water is intended for exactly the same purposes. The treatment is essentially physical, and its intensity increases with the rate of flow and with the electric conductivity of the water.
