The online Journal for Promoting the Recognition of the Importance of Hydrogen Technologies

Developing hydrogen technologies will enable renewable and traditional energy resources to be used to make major reductions in total atmospheric CO2 emissions.

INDEX ( click on the title ) of Articles supporting the case for Hydrogen NOW!

Issue 1 September 2001

1) Accelerated Global Warming and Atmospheric CO2 Emissions

The risk of global warming accelerating due to feed back effects is not generally recognised at present. This will lead to excessive temperature rises, adverse climate change and rising sea levels a lot sooner than previously anticipated.

Issue 2 October 2001

1a) An assessment of the likely increase of CO2 in the atmosphere due to climate change and if the Amazon Rainforest ceases to be a CO2 sink.

Issue 3 November 2001

2) Runaway Methane Global Warming

The accelerated global warming described in article 1) could lead to a runaway methane global warming effect due to the release of methane currently trapped in unstable methane hydrate deposits in the arctic that could be destabilised by accelerated global warming effects.

Issue 4 May 2002

3) The Continuing Importance of 'King Coal' for the develpment of significant UK renewable energy supplies over the next 15 years.

In future issues:

4) Weakening of the Atlantic Conveyor ( The Gulf Stream Atlantic Ocean current )

Global warming could lead to a possible weakening or cessation of the Atlantic Conveyor ( The Gulf Stream ) This could result in the UK and Western European winter average temperatures being as much as 10 degrees centigrade colder than at present.

5) Why Let the Oil Companies Monopolise Hydrogen?

Don't blame the big oil companies for not backing renewable energy with more urgency, everyone will be seen to have their priorities wrong if global warming accelerates. Any one can go into the hydrogen business

6) Melting ice and rising sea levels

7) Saving energy is not as simple as it seems
