Causes of Global Warming Also Produce Errors in Agricultural Temperature Measurements with Infrared Termometers
When making infrared temperature measurements out-of-doors, errors as large as 2.4C can be the result of sky or surrounding radiation. Plant leaves reflect approximately 2-4% of incident infrared radiation; normally this is a minor amount unless the radiative object is extremely cold, such as with sky conditions. Everest's Sky-Spy (U. S. Patent No. 4,420,265) corrects for errors caused by radiation to the sky.
Global Warming is predicated to increase the severity of servere weather.
Global warming is expected to increase the intensity of power of nature, such as storms, hurricanes, tropical cyclones and tornadoes.

Today I made a decision. There are so many issues confronting us today, from political issues, to health issues, to economic issues, to environmental issues... .it's easy to become overwhelmed and do nothing. Sometimes I feel that there are so many problems in this world, and they are so huge, that my little voice will never be heard, much less have any measurable impact on any of these issues. I know that I am not alone in this feeling.
For many years, I have talked about toxins and chemicals and their impact on our health, and I have shared this information with others in the hopes of making a difference. I believe that we must, for the sake of our children, open our eyes to what's happening to our planet. Our government and our media would have us believe that all is well, that our rivers and streams are healthy, and that our planet is thriving. Does this feel right to you? We must care enough to look beyond what is fed to us. I believe that by working together, we can and we will put this earth back on a positive path. It is not necessary that we do a lot, it is just necessary that we do something.
Today, I made a decision. It is no longer enough for me to talk and share. Today, I am asking for you to take a stand and make a difference. Today I joined the March on Washington to Stop Global Warming, and I am asking you to do the same. We must not only care, we must say that we care and we must make our voices heard. Please join me today.
Please visit my page at http://www.stopglobalwarming.org/campaigns/sgw/impact/dd38e44ac3ef9e42e9c32772d9a7be50/ and join the Virtual March on Washington. Show that you care, and make your voice heard.
