The partners in the project - the ITER Parties - are the European Union (represented by EURATOM), Japan, the People´s Republic of China, India, the Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation and the USA. ITER will be constructed in Europe, at Cadarache in the South of France.

What is fusion?
Fusion is the energy source of the sun and the stars. On earth, fusion research is aimed at demonstrating that this energy source can be used to produce electricity in a safe and environmentally benign way, with abundant fuel resources, to meet the needs of a growing world population.

Gore presents global-warming message at UN headquarters

United Nations, Sept 29: Former US Vice President Al Gore warned hundreds of UN diplomats and staff about the perils of global warming, presenting dramatic images of melting glaciers, rising oceans and parched earth to help spread his environmental message.

Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who steps down on Dec 31 after 10 years at the helm of the United Nations, said in his introductory remarks yesterday that Gore`s new role helps the planet -- and retiring officials.

"What he has done recently has also shown that there is a life after public office," Annan joked.

Gore`s film, derived from his slide-show presentation, has become one of the highest-grossing documentaries and made the former Vice President an unexpected film star, while its companion book, "An inconvenient truth," has become a national best-seller.

Gore warned in the lecture -- part of a series instituted by Annan -- that the world faces a "full-scale climate emergency that threatens the future of civilization on earth."

He showed slides of devastation brought by recent hurricanes, which scientists link to global warming, of the snows of Kilimanjaro of a few decades ago now receding to reveal bare mountain slopes, and footage of the Columbia glacier in Alaska crumbling with a powerful whoosh.

Gore followed with computer-generated projections of ocean water rushing in to submerge the San Francisco Bay area, New York city, parts of China, India and other nations, should ice shelves in Antarctica or Greenland melt and slip into the sea, raising water levels by 6-7 metres.

California sues six major automakers over gas emissions

NY TIMES NEWS SERVICE , NEW YORK
Friday, Sep 22, 2006,Page 1

California, which has battled the automotive industry over new global warming regulations for years, sued the world's six largest automakers on Wednesday, demanding that they pay for environmental damage caused by the emissions of their vehicles.

"Global warming is causing significant harm to California's environment, economy, agriculture and public health," said Bill Lockyer, the state's attorney general. "Vehicle emissions are the single most rapidly growing source of the carbon emissions contributing to global warming, yet the federal government and automakers have refused to act."

The suit, filed in a US District Court in Northern California, is the first such attempt to hold automakers accountable for the greenhouse gases that vehicles produce. It accuses General Motors, Toyota, Ford, Honda, Chrysler and Nissan of creating a public nuisance by building millions of vehicles that collectively discharge 289 million tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere annually.

Lockyer contends that the products of the six companies are responsible for a fifth of the carbon dioxide emissions nationwide and nearly a third of the emissions in California, which has more vehicles than any other state.

He said he would seek at least "tens of millions" in damages for past, current and future contributions to air pollution, beach erosion and reduced water supplies.

The automakers named in the suit declined to comment on it directly, but a trade group representing them labeled the accusations a "nuisance suit" similar to an unsuccessful attempt by several Northeastern states to hold utilities liable for environmental damage. The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, based in Washington, said in a statement that "automakers are already building cleaner, more fuel-efficient vehicles."

International Climate Symbol

A tool for public awareness The International Climate Symbol stands for:
· the need to curb climate change;
· the ability to make a difference. You can use the symbol in all your communications on climate change. It links all worldwide communication on the problems and the solutions regarding climate change.

The International Climate Symbol makes your campaigns more effective because:
· it gives a common focus to communication about causes and solutions of climate change;
· it connects local initiatives to an international perspective. The more the Climate Symbol shows up, the more the messages will reinforce each other!

Who Killed the Electric Car? trailer

It was among the fastest, most efficient production cars ever built. It ran on electricity, produced no emissions and catapulted American technology to the forefront of the automotive industry. The lucky few who drove it never wanted to give it up. So why did General Motors crush its fleet of EV1 electric vehicles in the Arizona desert? WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR? chronicles the life and mysterious death of the GM EV1, examining its cultural and economic ripple effects and how they reverberated through the halls of government and big business. WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR? is not just about the EV1. It’s about how this allegory for failure—reflected in today’s oil prices and air quality—can also be a shining symbol of society’s potential to better itself and the world around it. While there’s plenty of outrage for lost time, there’s also time for renewal as technology is reborn in WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR?

Global Warming and Biodiesel

A little animation I made for a piece of the next version of Biolyle The Movie. Simplistic explanation (Bioyle's voice) of carbon dioxide emissions from biodiesel vs. petroleum. The voice will be changed in the final version to something faster and hopefully some real footage of dinosaurs will be included! See http://biolyle.com for more information about biodiesel including how to get started making it at home.
