MacCracken, Michael. "GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE AND ITS EFFECTS." US EPA. N.p., n.d. Web. 25 Feb. 2010.


This article is a good example of how each person affects global warming. He uses calculations to figure out how much on average each person emits in the world. This is very important when talking about the Antarctica ice sheet. He brings up that the loss of the Greenland ice sheet and the west Antarctic ice sheet would increase water levels by up to 15 feet. That would put most coastal cities into a very difficult situation. He brings up examples such as Washington and New Orleans, where some cities are built underneath the sea level and will face many problems if sea levels rise at a drastic rate.

This is a very interesting journal. It gives good data, that is fairly simple to understand with the descriptions that are given. He also gives a great overview and puts the view of global warming in great context. He talks about how the amount of ice we have has to be accounted as a whole, and how small percentages of ice melting in such a large amount of ice is a big deal and is a issue. He addresses how it affects due to altitude, latitude and human interference. These are three factors he just brings up as examples of how ice loss might differ between areas.

Online Speaker

I learned a lot after watching this guys talk on the energy crisis and CO2. I could tell from the beginning that he was a very intelligent man, he supported everything he said with sound facts and said it in a comical way which is necessary because it is such a serious subject. I think he portrayed this subject in a new light that really showed me what really has to be done and how everyone will have to work towards this goal if we really want to fix this problem. He also brings about many solutions and also shatters them without blatantly saying it, he shows the facts and he uses those to prove his point like any good politician would do.

I feel my favorite part was when he was doing the breakdown of energy. When he brought up how you could use nuclear power to power the world, but showed how many you would have to build, that just made my mouth drop. I didn't expect that at all, i also did not expect that much of a small amount of energy to be gained from all the renewable resources excluding solar. I really did not think that solar could supply 1500 Kilowatts, that so much more than we could ever use, but being able to harness that kind of power could become useful in the future. I would like to see this man complete what he is working on because i feel that it will allow the world to prosper and we can fix the problem that we are having now just like how we fixed the ozone. I am glad you showed us this video and i think it was important for us to see this from such a scientific viewpoint.

CO2 Catcher

I have changed my ideas a lot after all the lectures and movies that we have watched. I have become very interested in global warming and the facts and repercussions that will happen because of it. Due to this it brought me upon something that he said that was said in the “Inconvenient Truth.” He said it quickly and did not talk about it in depth but he brought up, CO2 extraction from the atmosphere mechanically. I have always thought it was because of this technology that has caused it and its pretty amazing to see that it can also be the reason why we get out of it. Now after reading about it, this has been talked about for years but never really brought up into the main stream because of all the people who believe it is impossible and that more would be emitted during the process than would be taken out, I am saying right now after reading countless articles, they are dead wrong. This extractor that is being made by many companies but just slightly different, produces no CO2 and will extract CO2 and put it into a liquid that will be useable. It will be making oil, from the atmosphere, the perfect solution to our growing CO2 problem. The people who have thought of this and are supporting this include a scientist who was one of the leading researchers in this field. I feel that if these machines are made correctly they can fix our problem and there will be no more need for a green movement, we will be able to power our cars and power almost everything off of pure carbon that is gathered from the atmosphere.

This source gives an accurate depiction of how the filter is going to work and what form it will be put into. It also talks about who will be manufacturing it and the pros and cons of building a device like this such as where will the byproducts go, and how expensive will it be to make.

This article talks about how it originated. The ideas behind it and the true people who supported it and vouched for it even though they had an image to live up to. It also talks about the process of how it was thought of and how the collaboration of so many great minds if put towards a task can solve anything.

This gives great pictures showing CO2 extractors. This is a company that specializes in these types of machinery. They have been at it for years which are explained in the article and the extractor will be using methods that were experimented with and tested here at the Eden Labs. Without the building of a prototype and the engineering of such great technology, there would be no way to actually build the extractor that everyone is hoping to have.
