Personally speaking, I just feel that "Heat Waves" are the most dangerous part of Global Warming because they affect lives directly and indirectly. A raise in temperature can kill people just as water in oceans getting warmer; and as a result, we see catastrophes like Hurricane Katrina. You guys remember I guess....here is a picture for you though.
But what are real solutions to Heat Waves? With our level of scientific knowledge, I am pretty sure that solutions do exist. Let's look at some of them.
The first solution is to cut off the greenhouse emissions by having cleaner cars!!! What a brilliant idea knowing that super cities like New York, Chicago or London pollute so much that the residents even have difficulties breathing fresh air. To me, New York City is dirty as hell!!! and This city pollutes so much for no reasons. Because of what? Consumption and making it the most profitable city on Earth....Well, the Wall Street Crisis is putting everybody on standby now.

Here is the picture of an Hybrid car. Tell me if you see the difference between Hybrid and regular cars. The truth is on the outside, you will see no difference, but then when it comes to improving the environment, we will be making great causes for ourselves and others.
Secondly, the IPCC (International Panel on Climate change) has confirmed that many solutions already exist to solve global warming, expecially heat waves through wind power. I quote:" A reduction in the levels of climate change causing carbon dioxide emissions is the most important environmental benefit from wind power generation", Greenpeace international website.

Check also this video explaining how wind power works as a renewable source of energy:

I have the video also. Just look at wind power.
What else can we do? Have you heard of bioenergy. It is the use of organic mass used as fuel technologies. It is a good way to reduce greenhouse emissions as a whole. Here is a proper definition: "Bioenergy (aka biomass energy) is using organic matter (plants, etc.) as fuel via technologies such as gas collection, gasification (converting solid material to gas), combustion and digestion (for wet wastes)", Green peace international website.
I have found on Youtube a video explaining how BIOfuel could be created using Algae oil:
"The algae derived fuel will be an energy efficient replacement for fossil fuels and can be used in any diesel powered vehicle or machinery. In addition, 90% by weight of the algae is captured carbon dioxide, which is "sequestered" by this process, contributing significantly to the reduction of greenhouse gases, Multivuonline .

Good choice of solutions; but how do these actually help with the heat waves?
So i love the interactive way you post up links and videos very nice. I love the videos that make the problems we've been talking about in class so much more realistic with the winds, etc.
Also I was always a big fan of the way they use algae to produce energy and the ways its so productive and also very safe.I've spent alot of time on your website. I also get the feeling you like cars which I can relate to. Thanks for making it fun.
Yes Hybrid Cars and Bioenergy is part of the solution to reduce green house emission. But Hybrid Cars are relatively new and if car breaks down, the parts and labor are extremely expensive. Hopefully car manufacture reduce price to encourage people by hybrid.
