A Call to Resonsibility

A Call to Resonsibility

There is so much talk today about global warming, the greenhouse effect, climate change, green living and alternative energy sources. It can be quite daunting to examine and understand all of the issues involved.

While looking for information about all of this it has become evident that there is not a unified opinion. Some say global warming is happening, others say it is not.

Some say that warming is happening, others say that we are on the way to a new Ice Age.

So What’s Between Heaven and Earth - on Global Warming

Final Sci Vis (scientific visualization) Project for junior year
class. Each person in the class had to pick a topic in science and
make a video on it. This is the result of the choice of one student
The student used 3d max for all the animations and edited in Adobe

I was impressed with this video. It may seem a little long, but the
student goes into all aspects that cause global warming, and also
the effects.
The reason I posted this is that it can teach us so much, and also
my gratitude that young people are involved in this issue of global
warming and climate change.

I wanted it here on AlternativePowerPanel blog, as this whole issue
lies at the back of alternative power. We are not just talking
about the economic aspects. Other articles and videos will touch
on that as well as on how each and everyone of us can contribute to
create sustainable living and keep the planet blue (or green, if
you want.
