Concerns about global warming and oil's imminent demise have caused scientists and policy - makers to look for solutions in both the future and the past: to new technologies such as nuclear fusion, multijunction photovoltaics, and fuel cells — and to traditional energy sources such as water power, wind power, and (sustainable) biomass cultivation (coupled with clean and energy - efficient combustion).

Totten Glacier, the largest glacier in East Antarctica, is being melted from below by warm water that reaches the ice when winds over the ocean are strong — a cause for concern because the glacier holds more than 11 feet of sea level rise and acts as a plug that helps lock in the ice of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.

It could be due to a range of factors, the scientists say, from «a well - financed opposition» to the Cape Wind project on Cape Cod, to increasing public awareness and concern about changing climate and «global warming,» to health impacts and the recent electricity rate hikes in Delaware.

«I think interest in wind power and other renewable energy sources is now growing not only in Delaware, but nationally due to the rising cost and long - term supply issues associated with traditional energy sources, as well as other concerns such as global warming,» Kempton said.

To summarise the arguments presented so far concerning ice - loss in the arctic basin, at least four mechanisms must be recognised: (i) a momentum - induced slowing of winter ice formation, (ii) upward heat - flux from anomalously warm Atlantic water through the surface low ‐ salinity layer below the ice, (iii) wind patterns that cause the export of anomalous amounts of drift ice through the Fram Straits and disperse pack - ice in the western basin and (iv) the anomalous flux of warm Bering Sea water into the eastern Arctic of the mid 1990s.

Shell's Sweeney said he believes the concerns over global warming will be the biggest impetus for wind power investment.

Perhaps the only concern is Greenland melting but even there we know it has been just as warm in the 30's and 40's and there are many studies now that say the melt isn't apparently due to CO2 induced warming but is due to winds and / or black carbon.

Digital Journal — August 22, 2013 Calgary, Alberta, Canada (PRWEB)-- Friends of Science express concern that a proposed Alberta wind farm may cause serious problems for conventional North American energy supply while doing nothing to mitigate climate change or global warming.
