For that, I hope that our new Prime Minister will bring our country towards more glory and achivement for our own benefit. Although it's to early to tell the administration of Datuk Seri Najib is the same as before, but for me every leader have their own way to rule and make the future to be much more better. Praise Allah s.w.t may bless Malaysia and the people. Amin...

Everyone already knew that entire world celebrating Earth Hour on last 28 March 2009. But the thing that they actually doesn't know is during that time, more CO2 or carbon dioxide were being release therefore making global warming getting much more worst that it's look... Why?... Continue ready the following fact... There’s one thing in particular that bothers me about Earth Hour - these people who electric lights and then go and light up candles, and think that they’re helping do something about anthropogenic forcing of climate change.

There’s one thing in particular that bothers me about Earth Hour - these people who electric lights and then go and light up candles, and think that they’re helping do something about anthropogenic forcing of climate change.

The widespread practice of misguided eco-Luddites turning off their lights for Earth Hour and burning candles as a source of light is grossly misguided and actually contributes to increased carbon dioxide emissions.

Yes, I know candles are nice and romantic - but you’re taking paraffin wax, in the form of a candle, and burning it, very inefficiently, at a low temperature. This stuff is pure hydrocarbon - it’s a heavy alkane fraction distilled straight off crude oil. This stuff is getting so scarce that nations are prepared to go to war just to secure it, remember?

A candle flame burns at a low temperature - so it’s a thermodynamically very inefficient source of energy - and most of the energy released in a candle is wasted as heat, anyway.

Even if 80% of your electricity comes from coal and fossil fuel fired power stations, as it does in Australia, burning candles is very polluting and certainly very greenhouse gas and carbon dioxide emissions intensive, even more so than electric lighting.

If you need to do something that requires light - then leave an electric light on - just one. It’s far more efficient, less carbon dioxide emissions intensive and better for the environment - not to mention much safer than using hazardous candles.

If you want the romance of a candle, try looking for candles that you are certain are made from pure “carbon neutral” beeswax or tallow - not from crude oil in the form of paraffin wax.

Can’t we just put science, reason, rationality, education and reason ahead of trendy politics and trendy dogmas -before it’s too late?

What Earth Hour should not be about is the notion that we want to have a civilisation without artificial lighting - this is absolutely ridiculous. Lighting up the darkness was one of the most useful technological achievements in human history - why would we give that up?

Using electricity for lighting is far more efficient and environmentally sound than the primitive technologies, burning fossil fuels dirtily, at ambient pressure and relatively low temperatures, that came before electrification.

The use of electricity, and the use of electric lighting, is part of our way of life, in a developed, technological first-world society - I, for one, am not prepared to give that up, not the least because we don’t have to.

Light bulbs don’t produce greenhouse gases - burning fossil fuels to generate electricity does.

Let’s focus our efforts on moving away from fossil fuel based electricity generation, and expanding the use of non-greenhouse gas intensive hydroelectricity, nuclear energy, and wind energy, to solve our problems with anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.

Earth Hour should be about doing everything that you can to reasonably, sensibly limit your demand for electricity - and we can do this every hour of every day, of course. It makes sense for everyone - after all, you pay for the electricity.

I guess I have a problem with the idea that Earth Hour symbolises something.

It might symbolise something, but it doesn’t actuallydo anything.

The only thing it symbolises is primitive society.

I’d much rather see people spend their Earth Hour doing something that really does count for something.

Instead of spending your Earth Hour bearing with an uncomfortable, dark lifestyle, use that hour to think about the things that we can all do every day to limit electricity consumption, that we will actually bother to do every day, that are compatible with the fact that, yes, in our developed first-world society, we actually use electricity, and we work after the sun goes down. Think about the things that are compatible with our sensible lifestyles in the developed world, and do them, and it works out better for everybody!

Now, let’s consider just how much, quantitatively, this use of candles during Earth Hour is responsible for increased emissions of greenhouse gases.

Postulate I: A typical candle produces about 13 lumens of visible light, from a total power output of about 40 W, most of which is heat.
Postulate II: A 40 W electric incandescent light bulb consumes 40 W of electric power, and produces approximately 500 lumens of visible light output.
Postulate III: The overwhelming majority of candles are made from petroleum, in the form of paraffin wax. Paraffin wax has a heat of combustion of approximately 42 kJ/g, and can be assumed to consist, chemically, entirely of pentacosane - .
Postulate IV: The average greenhouse gas emissions intensity for electric power generation in Australia is about 1000 g /kWh, and electricity is transmitted with transmission losses of about 7%.

 = 352.68 g/mol;

 = 44.0 g/mol.

Thus, we know the emission of carbon dioxide from burning candles:

 - per candle per hour.

And the rate of carbon dioxide emissions from the electricity generation corresponding to the use of 13 lumens worth of lighting - the equivalent of one candle - for one hour:

 - per candle-equivalent of electric light per hour.

Therefore, for every candle that is burned to replace electric lighting during Earth Hour, greenhouse gas emissions over the course of the one hour are increased by 9.6 g of carbon dioxide.
If the light output from a 40 W light bulb was to be completely replaced by candles, this will lead to the emission of an extra 295 grams of carbon dioxide per over simply using the electric lights - if the equivalent of one thousand 40 W bulbs are replaced by candles, that’s an extra 295 kilograms of  emitted.

In places where a greater proportion of the electricity supply is generated by nuclear energy or hydroelectricity, this increase in greenhouse gas emissions is even larger.

Before 8.30pm, the lights were brighten and shinning.

Once the time at the Maxis Tower that located beside the Petronas Twin Towers was reached 8.30pm, the lights at Petronas Twin Towers were turned off slowly from the top to the bottom.

So, i think in future for Earth Hour we shouldn't lit any light for burning purpose because of it may cause more CO2 being release... Any comment?... And for information at that time I didn't join the moment because of I’m in the bus to get back to UMP from UniKL for my senior tournament... Huhu...

Entri ni sebenarnya memang ak suka baca dari dulu lg kat satu web ni...

Harap-harap beri manfaat kepada semua yg membaca...

Berikut adalah gambar dan maklumat 10 kemalangan & kecelakaan yang paling mahal pernah berlaku di dunia.

10) Titanic
Kos: US$150Million

Karamnya Titanic mungkin tragedi yang paling famous didunia, Hollywood pernah menghasilkan filem dari kejadian ini. Pada 15 April 1912, Titanic, Kapal yang paling besar dan mewah pernah dibina pada masa itu. Tragedi Titanic melanggar Iceberg semasa membuat trip percutian pertama mengorbankan 1500 hartawan. Kapal ini nelibatkan kos $7Million untuk dibina (US$150Million sekarang)

9) Tanker Truck vs Brigde
Kos: $358Million

Pada Ogos, 2004 sebuah kereta berlanggar dengan sebuah lori tangki yang membawa 32ribu liter minyak di Whiethel Brigde di German. Lori tangki tersebut merempuh pagar dan terjatuh 90kaki ke bawah Jambatan Authobahn Highway menyebabkan letupan besar yang memusnahkan “load-bearing” jambatan tersebut. Kerja2 sementara untuk membaiki Jambatan ini melibatkan $40Million dan kos menukarkan jambatan $318Million.

8. Metro-Link Crash
Kos: $500 Million

pada september 2008, ianya dicatatkan sebagai kejadian kemalangan keretapi paling buruk di dalm sejarah California, 25 orang terbunuh. Ianya berlaku akibat dari kesilapan Konduktor yang cuai membalas SMS, dan tersalah memasuki laluan semasa pertukaran rail di Stesen California. Tindakakn undang-undang dijangkakan melibatkan nilai lebih $500 juta.

7) B-2 Bomber Crash
Kos: $ 1.4 Billion

B-2 Stealth Bomber. Ianya merupakan Pesawat Pengebom US Airforce paling mahal yang pernah dibina. Kemalangan B-2 bomber berlaku di Guam Airbase pada Februari 2008 sejurus sahaja ianya berlepas. Pasukan penyiasatan membuat kesimpulan, kemalangan ini disebabkan oleh “Flight Computer System” dimana data arahan secara tiba-tiba mengarahkan Pesawat membuat “nose-up move” menyebabkan ianya hilang kawalan dan terjatuh. Ianya melibatkan sebuah B-2 Bomber dari 21 buah yg pernah dibina oleh US.

6) Exxon Valdez
Kos: $2.5 Billion

Pada March 1989, Tumpahan lebih 10.8juta gelen minyak di Teluk Prince William yang hanya boleh diakses hanya dengan Bot dan Helikopter. Ianya merupakan tumpahan minyak paling dasyat dalam sejarah dunia moden. Kos pemulihan melibatkan $2.5 Billion yang ditanggung oleh exxon. Maklumat penuh klik sini.

5) Piper Alpha Oil Rig
Kos: $ 3.4 Billion

Kebakaran Pelantar Minyak paling buruk pernah terjadi di dunia, pada Julai 1988 kerja-kerja maintenance teknikal oleh Jurutera melibatkan lebih 100 “tiub valve” yang menyalurkan gas cecair, kesilapan terjadi apabila salah seorang Technician terlupa untuk menukar 1 daripadanya. Pada malamnya operasi akan dimulakan seperti biasa, apabila button ditekan satu letupan dasyat yang merekodkan sejarah dunia terjadi. Dalam masa 2 jam keseluruhan pelantar meletup dan terbajkar menyebabkan 167 Pekerja mati.

4) Challenger Explosion
Kos: $5.5 Billion

Pada Januari 1986 NASA melancarkan Misi Kapal Angkasa Challenger, 73 saat selepas pelancaran ianya meletup di ruang udara. Hasil penyiasatan, ianya berlaku disebabkan faktor teknikal “faulty O-Ring” dimana ianya gagal untuk melindungi satu bahagian penyambungan, menyebabkan tekanan kepada Liquid Gas didalam tangki. Overload pada tekanan gas menyebabkan ianya keluar dan berlaku letupan maha dasyat. kos untuk replacing Space Shuttle tersebut, penyiasatan, pertukaran kelengkapan memakan kos hampir 5billion dollars.

3) Prestige Oil Spill
Kos: $12 Billion

Pada november 2002, Kapal yang dinamakan “The Prestige” membawa 77,000 tan minyak mentah, kejadian bermula apabila 1 daripada 12 tangki nya meletup disambar kilat di perairan Galicia, Spain. Kerisauan jika kapal akan tenggelam menyebabkan kapten meminta pertolongan dari pihak keselamatan Sepanyol untuk membawa kapal tersebut ke Pelabuhan berdekatan, tetapi pihak keselamatan tidak menghiraukan pertolongan dari Kapten kapal The Prestige malah mengarahkan kapal itu keluar dari perairan mereka. Kapten memohon pertolongan dari pihak keselamatan Perancis dan Portugal perkara sama juga terjadi. Laut semakin bergelora dan kapal Prestige itu tidak dapat diselamatkan ianya tengelam ditelan laut menyebabkan 20juta gelen minyak mentah ditumpahkan ke lautan. Kos keseluruhan pemulihan sehingga kini masih dihitung!!!!!. Maklumat penuh klik sini

2) Space Shuttle Columbia
kos: $13 Billion

Masih anda ingat dengan kemalangan Kapal Angkasa Columbia? Ianya musnah ketika memasuki ruang udara bumi selepas melakukan ekspedisi angkasa di ISS pada Februari 2003, hasil penyiasatan menunjukkan kerosakan kecil di bahagian pelindung haba di sayap kiri Columbia menyebabkan ianya gagal menahan kesan suhu tinggi ketika memasuki ruang udara Texas akibat kelajuan yang terlampau tinggi. Kos membina Kpaal Columbia memakan jumlah $2bilion pada 1978($6.3bilion jumlah kini). $500 juta dibhabiskan utk tujuan penyiasatan mencatatkan sejarah sebagai kos penyiasatan paling tinggi didunia.

1) Chernobyl
Kos: $200 Billion

Pada April 1986 terjadi malapetaka paling buruk di dalam sejarah dunia moden. Letupan Reaktor Nuklear Chernobyl, Ianya kemalangan paling berkos tinggi di dunia. 50% kawasan Ukraine di Barat Russia terpaksa dikosongkan lebih 1.7juta manusia mendapat kesan dari malapetaka ini, termasuklah mereka yang mendapat efek seperti kanser disebabkan radiasi beberapa tahun kemudian, dianggarkan 125,000 orang. Letupanya dianggarkan 400kali lebih dasyat dari bom yang dijatuhkan di Hiroshima pada WW2. kemalangan di Chernobyl ini, meyebabkan prosedur dan standard keselamatan melibatkan Reaktor seluruh dunia dirombak dan diberi kajian semula.

Terpikir gak... Kat Malaysia ni klw dihimpunkan semua kemalangan jalanraya yg berlaku tiap-tiap hari mesti bleh mengalahkan jumlah Letupan Reaktor Nuklear Chernobyl yg no satu tu kan?...
Sape setuju?...
