Climate Letter #941

An interesting new poll dealing with American attitudes toward climate change.  The poll was quite thorough, and I believe you will find something interesting about the results of almost every question.  The Independent voters are perhaps the most important because they should decide the outcome of the next big election.  Right now their level of concern is questionable and their level of confidence in science surprisingly weak.

For millions of men, erectile viagra overnight delivery choose here dysfunction has become recurring issue that loses their potency to keep or sustain erections for longer. But that old saying is true, “if it’s to be, it’s up to free viagra online me”. You are advised intake of Spermac capsule along with Mast Mood discount wholesale cialis capsule.

A comprehensive new study of expected increases in excessively hot days all over the globe.  Everything is mapped out in the report, through the end of the century, depending on the emissions pathway that humanity ends up choosing.  The deadliest effects are projected in tropical regions that have high population density and are already close to the edge.

The movement toward placement of a significant carbon tax just got a boost.  The new group that is making a push includes some interesting names, and is well-funded.  The only thing I would question is their stated recommendation for employing the proceeds, which is generally on the right track but has probably not yet been fully thought out since half of the population does not pay income taxes.

A major improvement for today’s batteries is ready for usage.  A new class of materials will address several different issues, one of which is the corrosion that shortens battery life.  Car batteries, for example, should be able to last for a good ten years.  The material is cheap and can be easily introduced without major changes in current production lines.
