Carbon Emissions Reached Record High In 2010

iONiUM writes "Last year, greenhouse gas emissions rose to a record amount of 30.6 gigatons, according to estimates from the International Energy Agency. From an article at the Guardian: 'Professor Lord Stern of the London School of Economics, the author of the influential Stern Report into the economics of climate change for the Treasury in 2006, warned that if the pattern continued, the results would be dire. "These figures indicate that [emissions] are now close to being back on a 'business as usual' path. According to the [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's] projections, such a path... would mean around a 50% chance of a rise in global average temperature of more than 4C by 2100," he said.'" jamie points out a recent report that the cost of solar cells has dropped about 21 percent this year, leading to predictions that solar power may become cheaper than nuclear and fossil power within five years.

There is a simple solution

[Dr.Bob,DC]

This isn't good news from either an environmental standpoint or that of human health. There have been several informative studies which have shows that an increase of carbon dioxide intake (through soda) leads to an increase in obesity, diabetes and overall ill-health. As the amount of carbon dioxide is taken into the body it reduces oxygen concentration at the celluar level.

Think back to the dawn of the industrial revolution. People were happy and died of old age. As carbon dioxide started to be pumped into the atmosphere people began to get sick at younger ages. No one died of cancer in Egyptian times but now around a quarter of us will! If you feel a bit run-down or your Chiropractor finds serious subluxations due to chronic carbon dioxide intake, there's a simple method to help: DRINK PLENTY OF WATER!

Yes, it's that simple: increase your water intake.

As your body breaks down the water, the oxygen within floods to all your cells helping to push out the bad CO2. Also try eating water-rich foods such as organic celery, watermelon, tomatoes and cucumbers. Refrain from eating leafy things, they contain LOADS of carbon dioxide and will counter any water you take in.

There are many, many well researched YouTube videos (look for "chiropractic" or "maximum living") which will help you in your studies. Be sure to view the ones which have many thumbs up. Those are, basically, peer reviewed and sure to be informative.

Reduce your intake of carbon dioxide, go vegan and organic, get plenty of sleep, visit a chiropractor for regular adjustments to promote optimal nerve function. Enjoy long life!

Take care,
Bob.

Don't be ridiculous; we in the US demand our beef with every meal, and slowly but surely that mindset is spreading. Where do you think the old forests went? Same place the remaining forests will go - to cattle land. Want to reforest? Stop eating beef.
