"EPA: Smog could get worse with global warming"
(Source: Associated Press, 7//10/08)
Global warming could worsen smog and stretch what typically is a
summer pollution problem into the spring and fall, government
scientists predicted Thursday.
Smog is most likely to get worse in the Northeast, lower Midwest, and
mid-Atlantic regions of the country, where numerous counties and
cities are already struggling to clean up the air, according to a
draft analysis by the Environmental Protection Agency.
But in Texas and Southern California, already among the smoggiest
areas in the country, the science is unclear, even conflicting. Smog
there could get slightly better or become more severe, the analysis said.
Nonetheless, researchers said state officials should be factoring in
the impact of global warming as they make plans to try to reduce smog,
calling it a "climate penalty."
"These findings also indicate, that, where climate-change-induced
increases in (smog) do occur, damaging effects on ecosystems,
agriculture, and health will be especially pronounced, due to
increases in the frequency of extreme pollution events," the analysis
concluded. However, the prediction came with a caveat: the researchers
did not take into account efforts to reduce smog that are already
under way because of stricter environmental regulations.
EPA stressed that the document did not represent the agency>s policies
or position on global warming. On Friday, the agency is scheduled to
officially respond to a Supreme Court ruling that said greenhouse
gases could be regulated under the Clean Air Act if they pose a risk
to human health or welfare.
The Bush administration has resisted linking global warming to public
health problems.
The ill-effects of smog, however, have been long been recognized. Smog
is formed when nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds released
from cars, industry and plants mix in sunlight. It can irritate the
respiratory system, reduce lung capacity and aggravate asthma. Global
warming would make smog worse because it would cause plants to release
more smog-forming organic compounds and spark more lightning storms,
which create nitrogen oxides naturally.
Barry Wallerstein, executive director of the South Coast Air Quality
Management District, which regulates air pollution in Orange County,
Calif., and parts of Los Angeles, said the link between global warming
and smog should compel EPA to control greenhouse gas emissions. |

20 noms put AMC in a starring role
Dramatic showing for cable network
By MICHAEL SCHNEIDER
Bryan Cranston helped heat up things for AMC with an acting nom for
'Breaking Bad.'
More Articles:
If last year was AMC>s coming-out party, this year represents its
coronation.
The cabler burst on the Emmy scene last year thanks to the miniseries
"Broken Trail." Now it>s blazing a series trail as well, scoring 16 nods for
"Mad Men" -- the most of any drama this year -- as well as four for
"Breaking Bad."
AMC>s 20 nominations leads all basic-cable networks and puts the net in
seventh place overall, behind only HBO, the Big Four nets and Showtime.
Those noms include two for lead actor in a drama series, "Mad Men" star Jon
Hamm and "Breaking Bad>s" Bryan Cranston. "Mad Men>s" John Slattery was
additionally recognized in the supporting actor in a drama category.
Not bad for a channel that was mostly known for playing old movies until a
year or two ago.
"It>s such a validation for our strategy," said AMC exec VP-g.m. Charlie
Collier. "To have them recognize both of our original series for the year,
and to salute the creative talent both in front of and behind the camera, it
feels really good for the network overall and for all of its partners."
The timing couldn>t be better: AMC is throwing a premiere party Monday in
Hollywood for "Mad Men>s" second season. The show returns July 27 and could
potentially earn a ratings bump thanks to the Emmy love -- not to mention
the lavish press attention it>s received in recent weeks.
Not only is "Mad Men" breaking down more doors for AMC, it>s also shattering
one of basic cable>s final Emmy barriers. The show, along with FX>s
"Damages," reps the first basic-cable entry to earn an outstanding drama
nod.
"Basic cable has done such a good job putting quality on the screen,"
Collier said.
Given AMC>s entry into the scripted realm "Mad Men" creator Matt Weiner said
he>s pleased that the show has stood out as much as it has in a crowded
field.
"AMC is a really incredible place to be in this early formative period,"
Weiner said. "They>ve made a plan and they>ve been very brave and smart
about sticking to it. They have a strategy of getting into the (original
series) marketplace based on quality."
"Mad Men" launched in July 2007, to instant acclaim. Series won two Golden
Globes earlier this year, for drama series and drama actor (Hamm). But the
Globes kudofest was canceled because of the Writers Guild strike; the AMC
and "Mad Men" crew toasted their victory at a private party. This time,
Collier said he>s looking forward to celebrating at the Emmy ceremony.
Although the "Mad Men" sweep wasn>t unexpected, the noms for "Breaking Bad,"
created by Vince Gilligan, were a nice surprise.
"I>m looking forward to having everyone in the room (at the Emmys)," Collier
said. "It>s going to be a special moment for AMC."
It was "Trail" and its 16 noms last year -- as well as the mini>s four
wins -- that paved the way last year for the launch of "Mad Men."
Collier noted that AMC and parent Rainbow Media>s strategy, which he
inherited upon his 2006 arrival, was to invest in series "that we could run
side-by-side with the best movies of all time."
"We want to build high-end cinematic TV," he said, "and showcase it the way
we showcase films. It started before I got here, but I>ve been fortunate
enough to implement it."[/quote] |

no seriously man. I drive my car once a week for less than a mile. My dad
says I kill the battery doing this. do you think this is true, or is there
something else going on. It seems like I am replacing the battery more
often than once a year and getting hot shots like every 3 months.
How does this make sense
and if this is so with today>s stupid batteries
how>s tomorrow>s fuel cells going to do better
it' s easy to change my address so you can take me seriously but I really
want an answer
Mr Dad the engineer says this is the reason but how come three years ago I
could get away with driving it like for no more than every six months and it
was fine

No, you put 1/2 HP in to a battery bank over time, and then you can get more
than 1/2 HP out when you need to but of course it will not last
as much time as it took to make it.
It is also known as "storing" energy.
