EDUCATION & POLICY BLIND TO TEMPERATURE

Science to Policy is effectively blind to temperature, in education we use calculators for important temperature considerations. Our job consulting on infrared applications at molecular levels is to let professionals see their objectives.

We completed several years and seasons to document how buildings become urban heat islands and how massive energy was used responding to urban heat island effect. Los Angeles alone is reporting over 100 million a year in energy production(emissions) responding to urban heat islands.

URBAN HEAT ISLANDS CAUSE GLOBAL WARMING AND CHANGE CLIMATE

In December, 2009 the United Nations met in Copenhagen to discuss climate change which is the biggest threat to the world. What did all of the members at the meeting have in common? They are all blind to the temperatures they are discussing. Although building development is designed, insulated and insured for regional temperature supplied through building codes, we couldn't see if we were meeting objectives. Academia from the sciences to policy can't see temperature, students calculate it. This page will allow you a brief look to see what we missed.

Canada was in Copenhagen discussing and negotiating emission reduction related to climate change while Parliament Buildings as well as the Supreme Court are super heating the atmosphere without C02 or emissions produced. Here is what it looks like. Parliament and Supreme Court

URBAN HEAT ISLANDS CAUSING GLOBAL WARMING IN MARCH, 2010

Building codes tell us to watch out for the same solar radiation that burns our skin. The following infrared video shows buildings contributing to global warming and changing climate without producing C02 or GHG emissions.



The problem exists in every province, state or country, we just couldn't see it before. It is the builder's responsibility and should be warranty work.


DIFFERENT COLORED BUILDINGS BEING RADIATED BY THE SUN

Here is a basic example of why Building Codes tell you to watch out for solar radiation. The dark house used to be lighter, the owner painted it without understanding they could change the building function.

An Urban Heat Island is created early in the morning and generating heat . Later in the day, emissions, ozone depletion and electrical waste will be used reacting to the symptoms of becoming an UHI without stopping the heating of the atmosphere that changes climate.

CANADA'S PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS AS URBAN HEAT ISLANDS

This is where Canada's government does their business. Could they become urban heat islands? Here is one look or angle because solar impact happens all day.

Put your mouse over the image and the infrared image will appear



Parliament Buildings have become urban heat islands and are heating the atmosphere changing weather without C02 produced. If you captured carbon or stopped all emissions, the building would still heat the atmosphere.

SUPREME COURT OF CANADA

Here is the Supreme Court, is it an urban heat island and heating the atmosphere without producing emissions?

NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL

The next building is the National Research Council. Were absorbent finishes used on the exterior and is it generating heat?

METEOROLOGIST COMMENT FOLLOWED BY TIME-LAPSED INFRARED VIDEO

Here is a link for information from a senior meteorologist explaining urban heat islands followed by a time-lapsed infrared video completed on September 23 showing how urban heat islands are created. There is supporting information available from different seasons and every month of the year.




PEOPLE LITERALLY COOKED BY BUILDINGS DURING HEATWAVES

The next infrared time-lapse video will show you what happens inside the home during a heat wave as the building becomes an urban heat island. Ideally there should be little change in the wall.

Lumber in buildings can have a 15% moisture content in new construction and heating that lumber affects every aspect of the building function related to health, safety, energy consumption, emissions and investment. Can it affect fire separations?



Air conditioning(refrigeration) is used to react to the symptoms with massive emissions, ozone depletion, etc and doesn't address the problem. Capturing carbon won't stop the heat, geothermal is cheaper, it isn't addressing the source of the problem.


"FORESTRY CUTBLOCKS & EXPOSED GROUND RADIATED"

Germination and other aspects of reforesting are going to have challenges to grow in this radiated environment because of the heat generated. The next images are aerial images of a forestry cutblock in April. It is 5 degrees C outside and the exposed ground of the cutblock is 40 deg. C. In the summer, the temperatures of the radiated ground will be higher. Note the difference between the cutblock and the green space of the forested areas.

Put your mouse over the image and the infrared image will appear



Pine Beetles have devastated 50,000 sq. miles of BC Forests and the response has been clear cutting. Imaging cut blocks in April showed the exposed ground being radiated, imagine the heat generation of a 50,000 sq. mile heat island of dead forested area. Once you generate heat energy it can't be destroyed so the best idea is don't generate the heat.


URBAN HEAT AFFECTS FOREST FIRES & FIRE INTENSITY

Forest Fire intensity and fire extremes are a domino effect of global warming associated with Urban Heat Islands. Here is a link to several infrared videos of forest fires


BABIES ARE VULNERABLE VICTIMS!!

How does a baby that has never taken a breath get fire retardant, banned pesticides, incinerated garbage, plastics, mercury, fossil fuel emissions and hundreds of chemicals before they take their first breath? Waste water or sewage treatment isn't designed to catch chemicals so mom passes on the chemicals and continues to pass them on through breast milk. Think of everything that goes into a toilet, do you know where human manure goes? We use it to fertilize agriculture that we eat.

Do a search for sludgewater and be prepared to be shocked when you think of babies, pregnant moms or yourself eating this. Sludge should be used to generate electricity because if we don't recycle it, our bodies will. TOXIC SLUDGEWATER INFORMATION

Click on this link, the toxicity ratio is 100% and the babies don't have the ability to protect themselves. There are no children exempt from the toxins regardless of how much money or power mom and dad have. It isn't legally definable as sustainable and it needs to be addressed for the emergency it is.

"FISH, GROUNDWATER AFFECTED BY URBAN HEAT ISLANDS"

The Prime Minister of Canada ordered a judicial inquiry into disappearing Salmon in British Columbia in the fall of 2009. Fish are temperature sensitive and greatly affected by climate change. Remedial work and groundwater work has been a challenge to verify, however our pilot study has been used as the standard by DFO for aerial thermal imaging of groundwater. The following link will show some basic groundwater images. GROUNDWATER IMAGES


"MEDICAL THERMOGRAPHY FOR EDUCATION CREDITS"

After decades of advanced thermography research at molecular levels, we lecture cutting edge thermography applications in medical education in Canada and the United States where physicians and other health professionals receive education credits they need for licensing. The toxicity associated with emissions produces inflammation that can be isolated with non invasive technology. CANCER CAN BE SEEN


SUMMARIZING URBAN HEAT ISLANDS

We are presently reacting to the symptoms of urban heat islands with massive emissions, ozone depletion, wasted electrical generation, acid rain, mercury, etc and the urban heat islands are still heating the atmosphere 52 weeks a year.

Due to the fact urban heat islands couldn't be seen, we are all policy and couldn't see the science. Here is the Canadian Environment Minister's speech on challenging countries to reduce the use of refrigerants that that deplete the ozone. At the exact time the Environment Minister challenged the UN to reduce or eliminate the use of refrigerants, we had submitted documentation showing Canada using refrigerants in almost 100% of their buildings reacting to symptoms. CANADA CONTRIBUTES TO INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT ON OZONE PROTECTION AND TACKLING CLIMATE CHANGE.

Here is a link to Environment Canada's Code for the elimination of Fluorocarbon Emissions from refrigeration and air conditioning to protect the ozone. ENVIRONMENTAL CODE OF PRACTICE


Here is a letter sent to the Western States & Provinces on solar radiation making buildings become urban heat islands. WESTERN CLIMATE INITIATIVE PARTNERS which include California, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Arizona, British Columbia and Manitoba telling them their buildings become urban heat islands and exceed their design temperature while they react to the symptoms with ozone depletion and massive GHG emissions.


The UN Meeting in Bali in 2007 missed critical data on climate change, urban heat islands and building performance. Here is our press release.Press Release - UN MEETING IN BALI MISSING CRITICAL DATA ON CLIMATE CHANGE


INFORMATION ON WEATHER STATIONS

This will provide information on weather equipment so you can see their inability to see or consider urban heat islands. Heat rises and a thermometer from the weather station isn't going to identify urban heat islands even if they were right beside them. The next link shows exactly that. HOW NOT TO MEASURE TEMPERATURE, PART 42

Here is a link to show you the limitations in North Carolina Climate Change Program where the entire process is blind to their urban heat islands. WEATHER STATION TOUR

The next 2 pictures are from the article linked above to show what a weather station looks like. This weather station is associated with NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. They are associated with The National Weather Service and many other organizations. NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION'S ORGANIZATION.
