"Despite the failure of Australia and the United States to ratify the treaty, because Russia approved the treaty in 2004, fulfilling the treaty requirement of approval by countries representing 55% of world emissions, the treaty can now go into effect. But, with China and India not included in the treaty, and with the absence of the United States, it is clear that major problems remain. Economists have estimated that full implementation of the Kyoto Protocol without modification would result in an economic cost with a present value of $1.5 trillion, borne mainly by wealthy countries." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"In their article "Biophoton Emission from the Hands," the Korean-led team reported that they detected 34 percent more biophotons (in the range of 300-650 nanometers) coming from the hands of their twenty healthy volunteers than could be expected if the photons were simply a result of natural background emissions. They also confirmed that the biophotons were not created as a consequence of thermal radiation or body heat.10 THE CELL In chapter 1, we briefly mentioned Gilbert Ling's revamping of cell membrane theory." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"If we look at this in scientific terms, we might describe this as the photon emissions of the plant spirit resonating coherence to her cells, bringing them back to a state of homeostasis. This particular phenomenon is called "photon sucking" and is described in The Field by Lynne McTaggart: "Wave resonance wasn't simply being used to communicate inside the body, but between living things. Two healthy beings were engaged in 'photon sucking' as he [Fritz Popp] called it, by exchanging photons." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"In 2000, with the environment-friendly vice president Al Gore running for president, the EPA decided to take on this last remaining source and ruled that power plant emissions violated the Clean Air Act. If coal-burning power I A # henever the EPA rules said plants cleaned up their emissions, they V Y something like "mercury poses could achieve a 90 percent reduction confirmed hazards to public health," the in mercury by 2008. The EPA proposed White House changed it to something like to force them to do so." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.)

"Often the air is contaminated due to badly situated intakes being affected by car emissions from the carpark. Some buildings have practically no fresh air intake at all. Some building managers re-circulate too much air because they believe it is cheaper than having to heat or cool fresh air. There is undeniable evidence that the environment can make us ill. Headaches, fatigue, insomnia, eye disorders, irritation of the throat, lungs and respiratory tract, asthma, allergy, emphysema, bronchitis, immune system damage, memory loss, cancer and defects in newborn babies can be traced to pollution." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Reductions in environmental lead exposure in the United States since the 1980s, through controls on gasoline emissions and pipes that supply drinking water, could reduce the potential impact of lead to cataract development. The extent to which lead might contribute to cataract, worldwide, is unknown. Lead exposures early in life can accumulate in bones. As bones thin with age, they not only release calcium but also other stored minerals like lead. Therefore, if lifetime lead accumulation is high, anything that increases osteoporosis could increase lead exposure." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"Soil depletion, food processing, chemical additives, pesticide residues, toxic emissions, stress, emotional trauma and the overuse of drugs all increase our need for additional micro-nutrients to ensure a healthy life. This need for added nutrients is much greater today than it was in past generations. Today's crops tend to be grown on mineral-depleted soils using artificial fertilisers, then manufactured with an eye towards appearance and processed to have a long shelf-life. During manufacture, many foods are refined to such a degree that most of their nutritional value is lost." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Fritz Popp, in his research, found that he could record the sound of biophoton emissions and that when he recorded them as points of light, there was discord. But when he allowed bio-photons from two cells to communicate, the coherence that this created caused the sound to become harmonic. From this harmony the song of the biophotons emerges. Richard Alan Miller suggests that "Superposed coherent waves of different types in the cells interact to form diffraction patterns, firstly in the acoustic [sound] domain, secondly in the electromagnetic [light] domain." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"It is impossible to predict the ultimate cost to individuals and corporations of efforts to reduce emissions or to deal with other global limits to growth. How- ever, considering the inevitable conflicts as less developed countries try to follow the path of developed countries, thus multiplying environmental problems, the kind of enormous earnings growth in the future that would justify recent stock market levels seems less likely." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"In addition to avoiding acid-cured floor finishes (which ranked highest of non-pressed-wood products which are known for formaldehyde emissions), it would be wise to avoid using nail polish, and to wash all new clothing before wearing it. If it's impossible to avoid formaldehyde exposure, it's important to ensure good ventilation." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"Not only is the oxygen content of the air many of us are breathing deficient, but industrial emissions and engine exhausts are continually polluting the air as well. Industrial chemicals such as pesticides, fungicides and insecticides, plastics, radiation, and synthetic products are changing the natural health-giving properties of our food. They introduce toxins to our bodies that our ancestors did not have to cope with. Some industrial chemicals, detergents, and food dyes are classified as hormone disrupters because they are estrogen mimics." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"In the case of your car, those toxins are exhaust emissions. Your body works in much the same way. The foods you eat are pumped from your stomach into your intestines where they are broken down to create the energy that keeps you moving. The foods we fuel our bodies with also create byproducts. If the intestines are functioning properly, these byproducts are expelled two to four times a day through regular bowel movements. When your car's engine isn't running smoothly and its exhaust pipe becomes congested with polluted gunk, it backfires." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.) "Besides making it difficult to pass an emissions test, these holes can allow toxic exhaust fumes to leak into the passenger area of your car. With time, your colon can also develop holes. These holes allow toxins to leak into your bloodstream. Eventually, these toxins creep into other organs and bodily tissues where they fester and cause disease. Over the last 100 years, mankind has polluted the air, the food, the water, and practically everything else we've been able to get our hands on. We watch all of these things occurring and still seem to think, "It doesn't concern me." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.)

"We know the emissions are present, and the cancer, but we don't know if the two are related," said a state toxicologist quoted in the local paper in March 1995. This article concluded: The impact of tons of toxic emissions on the health of industrial workers and the public never has been systematically studied and may be impossible to determine... . Health statistics in Peoria and Tazewell counties are troubling, but the connection between emissions and health problems is not clear. There is nothing special or unusual about the toxic release inventories for Tazewell and Peoria Counties." - Sandra Steingraber, Living Downstream (Get the book.)

"Environmental pollution and industrial emissions were associated with an increased risk of SLE in one study.1 In one reported case, zinc (page 614) supplementation appears to have aggravated drug-induced SLE.2 Ultraviolet radiation from sun exposure is a commonly recognized trigger of the skin manifestations of lupus.3 Some environmental chemicals such as hydrazine4 and food dyes such as tartrazine5 may be environmental triggers of SLE in susceptible people." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D. Rick Chester, RPh., N.D., DipLAc. George Constantine, R.Ph., Ph.D. Linnea D. Thompson, Pharm.D., N.D., The Natural Pharmacy: Complete A-Z Reference to Natural Treatments for Common Health Conditions (Get the book.)

"The air that we breathe today is filled with ozone, nitrogen oxides, fuel emissions, and secondary cigarette smoke. In short: breathe in, cough out. I will never forget my long journey to San Diego to start my internship at Mercy Hospital. I stopped along the way to see friends in Azusa. The smog was unbelievable, especially for a small-town boy from South Dakota. The next morning my friend took me outside in his yard to look at the magnificent San Bernardino Mountains. There was only one problem: we could not see them." - Ray D. Strand, What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutritional Medicine May Be Killing You (Get the book.)

"There is a law limiting the amount of emissions cars can give; therefore, cars have to put catalytic converters and do things to limit emissions. There is a law that says that you can't, under any circumstances, exceed the national speed limit. Why, then, are cars not required to have limiters so that they don't go that fast? The answer: It would cost the communities huge amounts of money in profits from speeding tickets, and the oil companies enormous profits in gasoline." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)

"The thick mucous lining contains many antioxidants that then neutralize the inhaled pollutants like ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and fuel emissions. They provide a layer of protection that is so effective that most of the time these pollutants don't even come in contact with the underlying epithelial cells. With ELFs as the first line of defense, the mucous, cilia, and immune response form a team that is extraordinarily effective in preventing infections in the respiratory tract." - Ray D. Strand, What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutritional Medicine May Be Killing You (Get the book.)

"Examples: The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that are present in condensed smoke from cigarettes, automobile emissions, grilled foods, fireplace residues, and the like are examples. Largely inert by themselves, liver enzymes can attack these substances with reactive oxygen species to produce carcinogens that react with DNA unless intercepted and deactivated. Certain nitiogen-containing molecules produced by cooking, especially grilling red meats or in Cajun-style blackening of meats, serve as pro-carcinogens. • Carcinogens: substances that increase the risk of cancer." - Lester A. Mitscher and Victoria Toews, The Green Tea Book (Get the book.)

"Nitrate contamination occurs in geographic patterns related to the amount of nitrogen contributed by fertilizers, manure, and airborne sources, such as automobile and industrial emissions. Nitrate exposure may explain why some geographical pockets have a substantially higher rate of type 1 diabetes.25,26 Circumstantial evidence from population-based studies also suggests that a higher dietary intake of nitrate consumption from smoked/cured meats is associated with a significantly higher risk for type 1 diabetes." - Michael T. Murray, Beat Diabetes Naturally: The Best Foods, Herbs, Supplements, and Lifestyle Strategies to Optimize Your Diabetes Care (Get the book.)

"As of 1990, domestic animals currently account for about 15 percent of the annual anthropogenic methane emissions, and the number has been steadily increasing ever since. • Eighty-five percent of the topsoil lost in the USA each year is directly associated with the raising of livestock. In this way, 4 million acres of cropland is destroyed every year. In the same way, precious rain forests have had to give way to satisfy the demand for more meat in the world." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Energy Secretary Bodman trumpeted a commitment by China to participate in a Department of Energy project, FutureGen, to develop a low emissions power plant by 2012 using coal gasification and carbon sequestration technology, and a memorandum of understanding with China's national development and reform minister, Ma Kai, to facilitate the $5.3 billion purchase of four nuclear reactors from Westinghouse. As for alternative energy, the DoE's National Renewable Energies Lab provides $100,00 to $200,000 a year worth of assistance to China, according to NREL spokesman Gary Schmitz." - Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.)

"It is certainly possible to clean up the emissions from coal-fired power plants, but it makes electricity more expensive, and the political will to clean up the industry may not be there in a more austere economy. In any case, even if heavy metals and particulates are taken out of the emissions, coal will still produce large quantities of carbon dioxide, the chief suspect in global warming. In 2003, the Bush administration, in fact, eased pollution standards for the power industry.5 Coal mining is also very destructive to the landscape and habitats." - James Howard Kunstler, The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century (Get the book.)

"Congress specifically legislated that MMT could be marketed as an automotive fuel additive only if the EPA granted a formal "waiver," which required a conclusive finding that the manganese additive did not worsen fuel emissions. In 256 emerging toxins 1978, Ethyl sought such a waiver, and the EPA turned the corporation down. The EPA reevaluated MMT in the mid-1980s and again in 1990, 1991, and 1994." - Paul D. Blanc, M.D., How Everyday Products Make People Sick: Toxins at Home and in the Workplace (Get the book.) "Its most recent data do indicate a reduction in carbon disulfide air emissions. By 2002 they were below a third of what they had been ten years earlier. Part of the reduction may be accountable, indirectly, to the phasing out of freon. For a relatively brief period spanning the 1970s and 1980s, carbon disulfide was a major raw material for the manufacture of such ptopellants.78 This "success" in reduction of catbon disulfide pollution relates to the current amount reportedly released into the air annually: only thirty million pounds or so." - Paul D. Blanc, M.D., How Everyday Products Make People Sick: Toxins at Home and in the Workplace (Get the book.) "Regulatory battles are ongoing or looming on the horizon over issues that range from limiting pesticide residues to controlling greenhouse air pollution emissions to reining in diesel truck exhaust (in regard to which the European Union is even more reluctant to take action than the United States is) to banning persistent chemicals such as bromine-containing flame retardants.18 Detailing each and every one of these examples is not necessary. The general principles that have been elucidated in this book are also applicable to these issues." - Paul D. Blanc, M.D., How Everyday Products Make People Sick: Toxins at Home and in the Workplace (Get the book.)

"The EU's fifteen core members, which signed the Kyoto Protocol in 1997, committed to reducing their emissions by 8 percent by 2012; new members committed to reductions of 6 to 8 percent (excluding Cyprus and Malta, which have no reduction targets).27 Now the EU was placing this effort at the heart of European diplomacy. "There are some ideological differences between the approach of the Bush administration and that of the European Union [on climate change]," the EU's representative Magnus Gislev explained. " - Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.)

"And the higher emissions rise, the worse the odds get. Heads - global warming wins, tails -we lose. As one wag has pointed out, this is like playing Russian roulette with a Luger rather than a revolver. One bullet, one chamber - and we're pulling the trigger. A reality check Many books on global warming end with some rather platitudinous sentences about renewable energy, as if the authors believe - rather like Disney's Blue Fairy - that simply wishing for something and believing in it is enough to make it come true." - Mark Lynas, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Get the book.)
