WELCOME TO BE PREPARED TO STORE

earthquake 150x150 WELCOME TO BE PREPARED TO STORE   Why Prepare for any disaster.

In recent years and even within the last several months, events have transpired globally and nationally that have placed hundreds of thousands of people in precarious situations.

 
Entire villages, towns, and cities have been at the mercy of nature’s wrath. In some cases, human actions have created those situations. The world was never a truly safe place but with the advances in weaponry and technology, and the threats of aggressive political powers, the potential for any major disasters has become an imposing shadow on our collective psyche we need to take emergency preparedness seriouly.

Recently, the world, and even America, has experienced incredulous events. Record high and low temperatures have beset entire states and regions with unforeseen damages resulting in power outages, food shortages, and fatalities.

 

Droughts and floods have ravaged farmlands and populations with previously unseen tragedy and loss. Cyclones and earthquakes have devastated regions, leaving them in rubble and creating thousands of homeless families.

Who Will Be Affected

 

Even the high and wealthy have suffered financial losses that subsequently trickled down to the middle and lower middle classes, leaving families on the ropes and losing their savings, their homes, and their sources of income.

 

Record high food prices and shortages have beleaguered millions of people, creating food lines and unemployment statistics unseen since World War ll, in some localities. The race for crude oil has created many rifts in former alliances and friendships within the global community.

 

Not since the cold war of the 60′s has the world seen such disharmony and fractious relationships.The need for securing emergency essentials to survive emergency situations is more evident now, than it ever was in the past.

 
Preparation is imperative to survival.
Not only are supplies needed, but the information and necessary means(especially financial means) is as well. Fortunately, the necessary means is inherent in our nature. We have the talents and abilities, but information and strategies are required to make it all come together. It takes planning to ensure that the proper materials and supplies are procured.

 
Strategies for securing these supplies and ensuring their proper storage and containment are also required.In the end,to enable survival preparation is only half the battle; one must know how to use shortcuts and resources.

 

Its Up To Us

 

My family and I have spent much time researching and testing materials and survival information. We wish to share our education with you with the hope that you will benefit from our experience, knowledge, and website, and pass it on to others to help with any disaster.

 
We strongly believe our unique website will be a formative and valuable resource of information to help you create and affect your own emergency preparedness plan. We welcome you to reap the knowledge we share with you for your own survival.

 
My family and I thank you for visiting us and hope that together we can make our own and collective worlds safer and saner. The onus is on us as a society to prepare for the future. We can only learn today from the past, how to survive tomorrow. So far, the past has shown us that anything could go wrong. EmergencyPreparedness and diligence are essential. Let us do it together.

Who actually does climate change research and what qualifications do they need?

Who actually carries out climate change research and what qualifications do they need?

How long do they have to study for?

How many climate scientists are there in the world?

Who are their main employers?

There are many aspects to climate science, the scientists that work almost all have doctorates (or are graduates students working toward the doctorate). I know climate scientists that have doctorates in climate science, meteorology, physics, chemistry, biology, oceanography and statistics, but I’m sure the list doesn’t stop there. Of course the common theme is that the research that they have done is on climate, and not on some other field.

I am currently working a doctorate in climate science and entered the program with a master’s degree in physics and all the coursework toward a master’s in atmospheric science. Other students in my program entered with master’s in physics, chemistry, chemical engineering and geology. The coursework required in my program is:

Physical Oceanography
Marine Chemistry
4 quarters of climate science (atmospheric thermodynamics, dynamics, radiation, etc)
Fluid mechanics
2 quarters of geophysical fluid dynamics

Not necessarily required for each specialization, but often taken are

Biogeochemistry
Paleoclimatology
Marine Geology
Advanced graduate mathematics and statistics
Satellite remote sensing
Computing
Stable isotope geochemistry
Atmospheric chemistry
Cloud physics
Tropical meteorology
Numerical weather prediction

Typically it takes 5-6 years to get the doctorate (that’s after Bachelor’s and possibly Master’s)

Places that hire climate scientists are:
National laboratories, like JPL, Los Alamos National Laboratory, National Center for Atmospheric Research
Universities
NASA
Private financial companies (weather and climate derivatives are big business)
National Weather Service

I don’t know how many there are in the world, definitely in the thousands, probably the tens of thousands

How do we play our hand in dealing with global climate change? 6

Due to uncertainties in projected climate changes and in how systems respond to those changes, adaptation options offer varying degrees of uncertainty,or risk if you will.

No-regret: Actions that make sense or are worthwhile regardless of additional or exacerbated impacts from climate change.

Opportunity: Actions that capitalize on observed or projected climatic changes. The proactive farmer who switches to a more adaptative crop, for example.

“Win-win”: Actions that provide adaptation benefits and meet other social, environmental, or economic objectives.

Low-regret: Measures with relatively low costs for which benefits under climate change scenarios are high, like factoring climate change into public land management policies.

Opportunity
Win-Win
Low-regret- I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for Our /Other governments around the world to make a difference in global warming. It will have to be a grassroots movement. Hopefully one that isn’t to late.

How does Climate Change effect the Murray River? 2

Australia is currently showing the effects of climate change. I need to find out how the Murray River System is changing due to climate change. I appreciate the help. Thanks.

Hahaha i’m doing this for english homework icon smile How does Climate Change effect the Murray River?
this is what i put so far
The effects from climate change on the Murray River are that the river is in drought, the amount of water flowing into the stricken Murray River between January and March 2009 was the lowest for that quarter in the 117 years that records have been kept. In August 2006, it was reported that water levels in the River Murray were at historic lows.

If climate change is caused my mankind, then how did we survive the industrial revolution? 3

130 years ago entire cities were covered in soot and on most days the sky wasn’t very visible. Coal factories spewing thick black smoke everywhere. It was much dirtier then and the world still had billions of people so why didn’t we destroy the earth already if man-made climate change is true?

You have stumped the liberals and perhaps have taken the first step of saving them from Gore’s massive brainwashing.

cuz we are badass

Why have climate scientists allowed climate change to become tainted by politics? 6

When there’s an entire political movement that is based on climate change (Democratic party), and billions of dollars invested into green projects and the Green business is huge, doesn’t that put a lot of pressure on climate scientists, who may be influenced by all of these trends instead of just focusing on scientific evidence.

Shouldn’t scientists be free to conduct experiments without influence from the oustide?

Scientists don’t really care about the world of politics or selective story-telling. They conduct experiments, gather data, and report. If other people twist that data to their own beliefs – so what, that doesn’t effect the job of a scientist.

One of the worst things the right has ever done is to politicize this debate. It belongs in the realm of science where 97% of the scientific community supports the theory of man-made climate change.

The 3% of scientists who claim there’s still a debate overwhelmingly work for conservative think tanks like the Heritage Foundation who are exclusively funded by oil and gas. Cons love to point out that scientists are motivated by money and therefore must be lying. Why don’t they ever turn that criticism inward?

Was the climate change email fraud just a red herring to smear global warming scientists? 9

Phil Jones and others have been smeared. According to the international panels statement "the scientific reputation of Professor Jones and CRU remains intact" climate change is still a fact. What did the emails show. Nothing.

East Anglia and the Climate Research Unit (CRU) have been cleared and can proceed with the quality research on global warming. Now that this has blown over, should we all get on with Ktoto and beyond?

No one said the climate was not changing. The Earth has been in a state of climate change for its entire 4 billion year life.

What is fake are the conclusions and how they they arrived at them.

How will climate change potentially affect California? 2

Does anyone have an idea of what climate models suggest for California in the next 25-100 years? I know anything at this point is anything is possible (predicting next weeks weather is difficult enough) but is there a general consensus of what may occur in California? How will the Pacific Ocean react to climate change as well, will it cool down or warm up?
