Why is the Arctic warming so much faster? New
The Arctic is warming at a faster rate than the rest of the planet due to a phenomenon known as Arctic amplification. This occurs because as the polar regions warm, ice and snow melt, exposing darker land and water surfaces that absorb more solar radiation, causing even more warming. Additionally, the loss of sea ice in the Arctic can also cause more warming by altering ocean currents and weather patterns. Greenhouse gases are the main driver of this warming, with the majority of the warming caused by carbon dioxide emissions from human activities.

Quadru-Haiku
Earth, Wind, Fire, Sea Elements in harmony flow Nature's symphony The earth lay barren, dry, and cracked, parched from the scorching sun. But then, the wind blew in, bringing with it the life-giving rain. The raindrops fell onto the dry earth, and soon, green sprouts began to appear, signaling the start of new life.

World Without US
Sages meditated for Ages; the wise-men wrote millions of pages; kings and statesmen gave brilliant speeches—about joy and happiness, that has eluded the mankind in the known history. What a profound mystery! The pages of human history, daubed in bloodshed, very recently that of World War I & II and Nanking (China) ask the crying question. How to make this Planet Earth, heaven-like? The answer is simple and direct. Eyes full of understanding, the heart full of love and the life that refuses conflicts—enough. These alone are enough. Well, if peace is not possible for humanity, what is the alternative? Alan Weisman seems to have the answer.

The Psychological Benefits of Spending Time in Nature
The benefits of spending time in nature have been well-documented for centuries. From ancient philosophers extolling the virtues of communing with nature, to modern scientists studying the effects of nature on our physical and mental well-being, the importance of nature in our lives cannot be denied. But in today's fast-paced, urbanized world, many people have lost touch with the natural environment. This disconnection from nature can have a negative impact on our mental and emotional well-being, as well as on our physical health.

A Home Built Modular Solar Array Part 1
Introduction I decided to design and build a solar array that was modular in nature and would allow a homestead to add modules as needed in 1-2 KW increments. I wanted the arrays to be elevated, and X-Y positional to take maximum advantage of the sun.

Mounting a Wind Generator Mast
Introduction When pursuing the use of alternate energy sources, two that are usually available to most people are solar or wind. Unless you are an urbanite with no access to the sky or live somewhere where such things are restricted you can usually find at least a limited use of either wind or sun. In a previous tutorial I showed how to build a two-axis solar array that would track the sun and provide a KW of electrical energy. In this one I will show how to mount a small (1 KW) wind generator using a guy wire stabilized mast.
