URGENT: Use this link NOW to tell EPA to regulate Carbon Dioxide pollution
Tuesday, November 25th, 2008Passing on this urgent call to action from Cathy Zoi:
Dear ken winston,
Friday is the last day to voice your opinion on whether the EPA — the Environmental Protection Agency — should regulate carbon dioxide pollution, the primary cause of the climate crisis. This is a big deal.
The EPA is taking public comment, before making a ruling.
Of course, special interests — like the oil and coal lobbies — are working overtime to defeat a positive ruling and have already gotten thousands of comments submitted in opposition.
Most people don’t know about this opportunity for public comment, so your voice can make a real difference. And with a new president in the White House, it’s likely that someone will actually be listening. Submit your public comment to the EPA here:
http://www.RepowerAmerica.org/EPA
In April 2007 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency has the authority to regulate carbon dioxide if it is harming our health and welfare. After more than a year of delay, the EPA is finally now requesting public comments on whether carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping pollutants are endangering our health and our climate.
Join us, and send a message about how crucial it is to reduce harmful carbon dioxide pollution. That you expect the EPA to (more…)
Why burning firewood is NOT ‘carbon-neutral’
Friday, November 21st, 2008by Ken Winston Caine
A company selling high-efficiency woodstoves in northern New Mexico is advertising that burning firewood is carbon-neutral.
In other words, they are suggesting that it’s a clean, green-energy form of heating.
True science used to mislead
In the radio commercial, they say that the carbon released when the wood is burned is equal to the carbon that would be released if the tree naturally decayed after it died. And that it is equal to the amount of carbon that the tree removed from the atmosphere during its life. That much is good science, I believe.
But does that make wood-burning “carbon neutral?”
I don’t think so. Here’s why:
Man burns up natural balance sheet
Most hardwood trees have lifespans measured in the hundreds of years. Some live thousands of years. And then, when they die (usually due to pestilence or disease or periods of extreme climate change) they decay very very slowly.
So, the amount of carbon a tree releases needs to be measured against the number of years of its life and decay. Per year, the tree emits very little carbon on that basis. When you burn the tree, on the other hand, you release all the carbon at once. And then what do you do? (more…)

Secret to losing 20 lbs a month? Make your diet boring
Thursday, November 29th, 2007by ken winston caine
Want to lose 20 pounds in the next 30 days?
Make your diet boring. Boring and simple, says Tim Ferris, best-selling author of The Four-Hour Workweek.
That doesn’t mean no variety or tasteless meals, Ferris explains.
He provides four simple rules for losing weight quickly, while building muscle, and — exercise is NOT one of them. (Click the link below to see all four rules — and the exact diet he is using.)
The rules look nutritionally sound. And they are based on results from scientific studies.
Why make your diet boring? Because it’s easier to follow that way, he says.
“The most successful dieters, regardless of whether their goal is muscle gain or fat loss, eat the same few meals over and over again,” he writes in a blog post at (more…)
