Ready for winter? Reduce those fuel bills Nov 18, 2009
In addition, take advantage of the sun s radiant energy on south-facing windows by keeping blinds open during the day. There are other simple ways you can reduce electrical use, like turning off lights when leaving a room or placing lamps on timers. (Mattoon Journal-Gazette, IL)
Green, energy-wise and on budget Nov 4, 2009
The home also saves energy with low-E or low-emissivity windows that reflect much of the sun's radiant energy. It has all worked well in creating a comfortable home with lower energy costs, Becker said, adding that his highest bill was about $200. (AZCentral -- Home)
CFC Destruction of Ozone - Major Cause of Recent Global Warming! Sep 5, 2009
The loss of ozone allowed more UV light to pass through the stratosphere at a sufficient rate to warm the lower troposphere plus 10" of the earth by 0.48 oC (1966 to 1998). Mass and energy balances show that the energy that was absorbed in the lower stratosphere- upper troposphere hit the lower troposphere-earth at a sustainable level of 1.71 x 1018 Btu more in 1998 than it did in 1966. Greater ozone depletion in the Polar Regions caused these areas to warm up some two and one-half (2 ) times... (Energy Pulse, CO)
Role Of Solar Radiation In Climate Change Aug 12, 2009

Solarization whacks pathogens, adds nutrients Jul 27, 2009
Brennan favors clear plastic sheeting over black: "When you use black plastic, it's not going to allow the light to go through." The plastic traps the sun's radiant energy, heating the top 12 to 18 inches of the soil. Thinner plastic provides more heat but tears more easily. (San Francisco Chronicle)
Solar-powered heating system warms Charleston couple's swimming season Jul 18, 2009
As the water rises, it is heated by the sun s radiant energy. Kelly Edwards said the collector tubes have been arrayed on an approximately 14- by 24-foot deck that sits at an angle, with a wooden fence between the deck and the pool. (Mattoon Journal-Gazette, IL)
Letter: Current energy policy is driven by false fears Jul 11, 2009
cmnsens41 wrote on Jul 10, 2009 8:55 AM:" Global warming may or may not be a hoax. Earth has experienced warming and cooling cylces for millions of years. Experts say there have been at least 5 ice ages. For every ice age comes global warming. We humans give ourselves far too much credit for thinking we are causing the next global warming cycle.Now they say sulfur compounds in the air are good because they block the suns radiant energy from mother earth. Maybe we should blow the tops of our... (Montana Standard, MT)
AGU journal highlights - July 2, 2009 Jul 3, 2009
Focusing on cloud radiative effects, the authors simulate a 30-year climate data record based on the first five years of data from the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) instrument on board NASA's Terra satellites. On the basis of analyses of accuracy and precision errors, the authors find that a gap of any length anywhere in the record will significantly increase the time required to detect a trend above natural variability because data collected prior to and after the gap...

What you do by putting this in the roof is, during summer, when you ve got radiant energy, it reflects it, keeping the house cooler. Then, during winter, there s a lot (of heat) that escapes, and that energy is re-reflected back into the house, he said, beaming. (Half Moon Bay Review, CA)

The Plain Truth About Glorious Carbon Dioxide Feb 28, 2009
", the debate is completely eroded. I have no trouble with people being skeptical about AGW. As I've said earlier, it's an important issue to get right, one way or another. (FWIW, I beginning to realize alarmist pronouncements are not necessarily productive even if they are true, as change can only occur at a certain rate anyway. On the other hand, making meek statements may encourage people to do nothing - it's a tough situation.) That being said, it does surprise me that something like Alan's... (Energy Pulse, CO)
NASA: 2008 Earth's 9th warmest year since 1880 Feb 24, 2009
"Given our expectation that the next El Nino will begin this year or in 2010, it still seems likely that a new global surface air temperature record will be set within the next one to two years, despite the moderate cooling effect of reduced solar irradiance," said James Hansen, director of GISS. The Sun is just passing through solar minimum, the low point in its 10- to 12-yearcycle of electromagnetic activity, when it transmits its lowest amount of radiant energy toward Earth. The GISS analysis... (Xinhuanet, China)

I didn't put it in the bathroom, and I can tell the difference between the bathroom and the house," Buss says.Radiance paint can be tinted 72 different pastel shades, all in light hues. Darker colors are not available because large amounts of tint absorb more radiant energy, ChemRex states.Buss painted his rooms with pure white.``The white looks like a grayish blue color in the corners of the house, where it's darker," he says. When the sun shines on it, it's really white. (Racine Journal Times, WI)
