Earth Hour Anthem

This is the Rise and Shine show’s contribution to Earth Hour earthhour.org

It was composed and recorded for Rise and Shine riseandshine.tv between 26th and 28th March 2009.

Find more about it here: http://funk.co.uk/music/campaign/earth-hour

The video is made (in keeping with the concept) cheaply using CC-licensed Flickr images and a webcam.

LYRICS

I’m waiting on the end of a fishing line
But there ain’t no fish in the sea
I’m wishing this was a shady shoreline
But the water’s higher this week
It’s a struggle to feed my family
Impossible to keep my home
When people living in tall bright cities
Keep their lights on

It’s alright
To turn out the light
We can make it show that we care
There’s a big wide world out there
It’s a beautiful night – saving energy

To turn out the light – we can be pollution-free
And go green like this world has never seen

People passing by on the city subway
Mostly they they don’t notice me
Their eyes on the prize, they’re so civilised
With somewhere warm and dry to sleep
SUV’s and swimming pools
The air-conditioned second homes
And everything is always on standby
In case they want to switch it on

It’s alright
To turn out the light
We can make it show that we care
There’s a big wide world out there
It’s a beautiful night – saving energy
To turn out the light – we can be pollution-free
And go green like this world has never seen

The Scientific Miracles Of The Holy Quran 07 ( The Layers Of The Earth’s Atmosphere )

Islam Is The Only TRUTH

Earliest atmosphere
The outgassings of the Earth was stripped away by solar winds early in the history of the planet until a steady state was established, the first atmosphere. Based on today’s volcanic evidence, this atmosphere would have contained 80% water vapor, 10% carbon dioxide, 5 to 7% hydrogen-sulfur, and smaller amounts of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, methane and inert gases.

A major rainfall led to the buildup of a vast ocean, enriching the other agents, first carbon dioxide and later nitrogen and inert gases. A major part of carbon dioxide exhalations were soon dissolved in water and built up carbonatic sediments.
Second atmosphere
Water related sediments have been found dating from as early as 3.8 billion years ago [7]. About 3.4 billion years ago, nitrogen was the major part of the then stable “second atmosphere.” An influence of life has to be taken into account rather soon in the history of the atmosphere, since hints of early life forms are to be found as early as 3.5 billion years ago[8]. The fact that this is not perfectly in line with the – compared to today 30% lower – solar radiance of the early sun has been described as the “Faint young Sun paradox”.The geological record however shows a continually relatively warm surface during the complete early temperature record of the Earth with the exception of one cold glacial phase about 2.4 billion years ago. Sometime during the late Archaean era an oxygen-containing atmosphere began to develop, apparently from photosynthesizing algae which have been found as stromatolite fossils from 2.7 billion years ago. The early basic carbon isotopy (isotope ratio proportions) is very much in line with what is found today, [9] suggesting that the fundamental features of the carbon cycle were established as early as 4 billion years ago.

Third Atmosphere
Oxygen content of the Atmosphere since one Billion yearsThe accretion of continents about 3.5 billion years ago added plate tectonics, constantly rearranging the continents and also shaping long-term climate evolution by allowing the transfer of carbon dioxide to large land-based carbonate storages. Free oxygen did not exist until about 1.7 Ga ago and this can be seen with the development of the red beds and the end of the banded iron formations. This signifies a shift from a reducing atmosphere to an oxidising atmosphere. O2 showed major ups and downs until reaching a steady state of more than 15%The following time span was the Phanerozoic era, during which oxygen-breathing metazoan life forms began to appear.Currently, anthropogenic greenhouse gases are increasing in the atmosphere. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, this increase is a causative factor in global warming.
Air pollution
Air pollution is the human introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to organisms, into the atmosphere. Stratospheric ozone depletion is believed to be caused by air pollution (chiefly from chlorofluorocarbons).Worldwide, air pollution is responsible for large numbers of deaths and respiratory disease. Enforced air quality standards, like the Clean Air Act in the United States, have reduced the presence of some pollutants. While major stationary sources are often identified with air pollution, the greatest source of emissions is actually mobile sources, principally the automobile.

Environment Protection

This excellent video carefully teaches us how to take care of our environment. This high-class film also tells us several harmful effects of destructive human activities.

I hope you will learn a lot of valuable lessons in this simple film.

(: *** :) ENJOY!!! (: ***;)

What We Know about Climate Change

In the many responses I get to these videos, it appears that a number of people want to deny, or are not even aware, that there is a scientific foundation to the overwhelming consensus on climate change.

In fact, the science is built on thousands of publications and many decades of observation.

In this video we’ll go over some of the fundamental discoveries, the
basic facts that we know beyond a doubt, about global warming.
Of course, many people will never believe science, because they believe that
anything that challenges their world view, is all part of a secret,
global conspiracy.

Michael Jackson – Earth Song

There are no “sweet things” in this video…..it is a cry of help to whoever can hear it.
Please stop expecting from others to make things right….we are the world and as such we must react.
No big company will support us against it’s own profits.
Wars, pollution and hunger will go on unless we put an end to it.
So stop wasting energy, stop wasting food and supplies, and start helping those in need, from a poor neighbour to a stray animal. Recycle and donate and the world will be a better place :) .

Jiang and his Earth Bike in China – World Humanism Day 2009

If you want to support Jiang you can make a donation on his Paypal-account. Please visit: www.metropolistv.nl/jiang

This report is one of the five portraits that were produced by VPRO Metropolis TV for World Humanism Day 2009. You can watch many more reports on www.metropolistv.nl

June 21st is World Humanism Day. For this occasion, five filmmakers from diferent parts of the world present to us a remarkable citizen in their home country that has taken control over his or her own life.

In China, theres not so much you can protest against. One of the things you are allowed to protest against, is environmental pollution. Director Bas Roeterink and presenter Jin ‘ Sunny’ Cui visit a young Chinese man who bikes from factory to factory in his Earth Bike, to make people aware of environmental pollution.

Got Global Warming?

While scientists doctor statistics to falsely prove global warming and control humanity through vague money making schemes, it is snowing in Austin Texas. People throughout the world are experiencing record cold temperatures. Global warming is a hoax and all you have to do is open your eyes to the lie.
