Pollution and Global Warming
Pollution is one thing in general that has proven to be a downfall of our country. Most energy pundits understand emphatically burning coal is the cheapest and easiest source of energy. They also know it single-handedly is the biggest polluter. The emission of “green house gases,” better known as hydrofluorcarbons, comes from burning the fossil fuel, coal. The internal combustion engine is responsible for the burning of the other major fossil fuel, petroleum. Therefore it is America’s selfish reliance upon the automobile that is a major cause of Global Warming. We are responsible. Of course one cannot overlook the other obvious contributors. Air traffic by definition is a large source of Global Warming. What is an airplane? It is a source of two distinct things necessary for contributing to Global Warming, which no one seems to want to recognize. Let’s “call a spade a spade”. Planes, trains, and automobiles. “ There you have it. There it is. It is thus.” A plane is a source of both intense heat and infrasonic pollution. It is invasive in that it produces heat and vibration that are carried upon its self-produced infrasonic wave. Similarly a diesel-electric locomotive has the exact same blueprint. It produces heat, vibration, and its own source of infrasonic pollution. The engines are different, thus the production of the infrasound wave is different. Intense noise created by the burning of fuel, the spinning of a turbine, and the production of thrust is what creates infrasonic pollution on an aircraft. The firing rate of a diesel engine is what creates it on a locomotive. The unfortunate fact is they operate under a similar protocol. Both produce infrasound continuously while they operate. “Continuous” is the operative word that brands airplanes and diesel locomotives as culprits responsible for Global Warming. Not only do they pump out waste continuously, they also possess the TWO components necessary to inflict grave climate change. The eruption of Krakatau, a volcanic island in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra in Indonesia, produced the loudest sound ever recorded in history. It circled the globe eight times and was documented by barometers along the way in many different countries. It was “heard” as far away as Perth, Australia (approx. 1930 miles) and the island of Rodrigues near Mauritius, (approx. 3000 away). A volcano is not unlike its manmade counterparts, the airplane and diesel locomotive, because it also produces these TWO distinct components. It produces the heat necessary to warm the planet but also produces an infrasonic carrier wave that pushes the heat, sound, and vibration around the globe! Considering Jet Streams, fast-flowing, relatively narrow air currents in the atmosphere, the over-taking of the responsibility of moving that air around the globe by unintentional means by man has overstepped the boundaries from which the planet can adjust. It is for this reason it has become imperative that man, the creator of the problem, become accountable for its result and provide a solution. Irresponsibility as a result of man’s greed has caused Global Warming.
