Google Uses Satellite Imagery to Track and Monitor Global Deforestation
8 January 2010 | Green Technology | No Comments
Among many companies that are trying to slow down global warming, Google has been noted repeatedly, thanks to their intelligent monitoring software. Until now they have released different tools for ocean mapping and home energy consumption details and each of these proved to be very effective. Rcently, Google launched a new deforestation monitoring system that can identify areas where the forest is intensively exploited, using satellite imagery.

Global warming is a phenomenon that can affect us, humans, but at the same time also can affect many plants and animals. Things that are happening currently on the planet are not simple at all. Researchers have realized about the seriousness of things and announced that a large number of animals and plants should migrate to North to prevent global warming effects. Unfortunately third of these animals and plants, can not migrate at high altitudes and this is a serious problem.

Over the years, the earth climate has gone through several periods of heating and cooling. All these changes occurred slowly, due to natural factors, but now the earth climate has reached a level where any error caused by humans could be fatal.
The main factor influencing global warming is the greenhouse effect. This phenomenon is caused by human actions, and as scientists say, greenhouse gases in the atmosphere result in reducing the reflection of sunlight. This thing means nothing but excessive heating, so if greenhouse gases indicate a high density then the heating process will be very intense.
What will happen to our planet if temperature will increase with 4˚C

Global warming is a very discussed problem, and every day researchers and scientists discover more and more negative effects that increasing temperature may have on our planet. This month, British Embassy announced the latest discoveries about global warming effects on our planet. Among many shocking statements, British Ambassador Robin Barnett said: „Global warming will not affect only polar bears. Global warming is a major problem that can affect vital resources and this thing could have extremely serious consequences.” Robin Barnett also said that global warming can affect even the relationships between governments. According to some studies made in South East Europe, population could bear the following risks, if the temperature will rise with 4 Celsius degrees: dramatic decrease of water resources, frequent droughts and outbreak of devastating fires.
Solar Roadways Could Power The Entire World

We all know how hot and how much heat the roads dissipate during summer times. We all have seen the hot road mirage on the highways, where the road seems soaked in a pool of water. Well, what if this heat and energy can, in some way be extracted and stored as electrical energy ? This was the idea that captivated Scott Brusaw’s imagination since childhood. Now, as a grown man, after he acknowledged the dangers of global warming, he came up with the concept that enables him to use this, once lost, energy. After years of development, together with his wife, they introduced Solar Roadways, a company designed for a fully digitized roads, that could ,theoretically, someday power the entire world.
