Well, worst case then... Ha. But the flood plain area in North Portland is mostly only about 10ft... Oh, yeah, I forgot about the draughts and floods they'll be loving us for 100 years from now!

Isn't Portland well above 20 foot altitude? Sea level increases are supposed to max out in the region of 20 feet. That much sea level rise would mess up the SF Bay Area and make where I live in Mtn View marsh-front property. But I believe Portland i…

Major Antarctic glacier at risk of major collapse - is 'past its tipping point'

Scientists have identified some geological feature in the Antarctic that, combined with already rising sea levels, will cause a sudden collapse sometime in the not-so-distant future. They've identified two specific glaciers in west antarctic that are way past their tipping point beyond which collapse is unavoidable. Their estimate is 50% collapse within the next 100 years.

Collapse of glaciers into the ocean causes sea level rise. The melting of sea ice does not cause sea level rise.… Continue

Mavizen's all electric supermotorcycle for the TTXGP circuit is revealed

This week at the SEMA trade show in Las Vegas, Mavizen unveiled the TTX02. It is an all electric superbike meant to jumpstart teams that want to compete in the TTXGP race series. 130 miles/hr and a range more than enough to make it around the Snaefell course on the Isle of Man. It's exciting.

Busy on the internet...

Are you busy on the Internet? It's so huge and full of wonderful things and people, I was wondering what YOU like the most lately? I'm still on Pandora Radio a lot, it does such a great job picking new music I've never heard but totally love, it's like an automatic personal DJ... and I like Pandora on so much that I've not really been a big a fan of videos on the net, 'cause I have to pause the music! arrg... but there's some good videos out there, I'm sure. I like the two on here!

Lets see, Fa… Continue

Whose bark is louder.

Who has the loudest bark the government or the people?

I would have to say both are equal unless you over power with more barks (my personal thought), but only one (government) can put something in effect. The cause is here now and is affecting all of us. Emett has a brilliant plan, lets try bringing it a reality. Any suggestions for any topic are always helpful. We have spoke about organics, pollution, wind power, solar power, alternate transportation (sky tram, buses, max, most of all bikes a… Continue

Save A Cow, Save The Planet

According to Dr Andy Thorpe of Portsmouth University, a herd of 200 cows produces more greenhouse gas in a year than a family car produces to drive 3,000 miles.

Dr Thorpe added that while CO2 emissions have increased by 31 per cent in the past 250 years, methane has increased by 149 per cent over the same period.

Farm animals create methane emissions in 2 ways. Animals like cows, sheep and goats are ruminants, which means that they are grass-eaters.and during their normal digestion process the… Continue

Notes

About Unpollute!

Unpollute is a path to a Zero Emissions future because here are offered many solutions and ideas to cover the three main sources of air pollution from the public -- from people just living their lives. People's transportation methods and needs, their food, and their energy needs for their homes. I believe businesses would also benefit from inclusion and participation with Unpollute. This site is about advocating alternative transportation ideas, better food sourcing, and zero emission
