Understanding Your Screening Options
When: Wednesday, December 15, 2010
6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Philadelphia Marriott West
111 Crawford Avenue
West Conshohocken, PA 19428
The variety of screening tools used to look for breast cancer can be confusing. Why did your doctor request an MRI instead of an ultrasound or mammogram? What do those test results mean for your health and your care?
During this program, Marlane C. Guttmann, MD, a radiologist at the Fox Chase Cancer Center, helped participants:
- Explore screening methods used to find breast cancer and the diagnostic tests that evaluate suspicious findings
- Understand the latest National Cancer Institute screening guidelines and how they apply to your care
- Develop tools to better prepare emotionally and mentally for screening and diagnostic tests
- Learn how to better understand test results
- Develop questions to ask your healthcare team
About Our Speaker
Dr. Guttmann is a staff radiologist with the Fox Chase Cancer Center. She worked there from 1991 to 1998, then served in a community hospital setting for five years before rejoining the Fox Chase staff in 2003. She was drawn to the field of radiology as a subintern in oncology, where she followed the progress of a young patient with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia. Since this experience, Dr. Guttman's career has focused on helping men and women affected by cancer. She has a special interest in breast and body imaging, as well as interventional procedures, which use all methods of imaging.

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. — Changing diapers, creating meal plans, conducting learning sessions and making playtime fun are just some of the many tasks family child care providers take on.
The FCC program exists to help military spouses create their own businesses at a very minimal cost to them.
Requirements for becoming a child care provider are not as complicated as some people may think.
Spouses must be able to read, write and speak English, be 18 years of age, have a high school or general equivalency diploma, and pass background screenings.
Training is also required for spouses who would like to offer their services as a provider.
"You do not need to have any kind of teaching degree or experience, though it may help, it is not required," said Ellie Bogensperger, 99th Force Support Squadron chief of child family programs.
"Potential providers go through a free week long orientation of 25 hours in our office," she added. "We go over business, programs, policies, how to set up your environment, taxes and guidance. We provide all the materials they may need to be successful."
In addition to the orientation, within the first year providers must also complete Air Force modules, which are similar to an 'on the job' training process. Afterward, they are responsible for 24 hours of annual training.
With tools and resources set in place to educate potential providers, the program has remained well-established to benefit service members.
"It is definitely a needed program that we have for military members," Bogensperger said. "It's a very strong program for women that love children and also a rewarding experience to help our military community.
Not only do we help families find care for their children at Nellis, but Creech as well."
Tina King, a current child care provider and recipient of the 2012 Nellis Provider of the Year Award, expressed her reason for getting into the child care field.
"I got into child care for my own children," King said. "It was hard to find a provider that I trusted, so I felt better being at home with them. I also hated that my husband would work one shift and I would work a different shift. It wasn't cohesive for the family."
With this being one of the many benefits she receives from being a provider, the families of the children she takes care of makes an impact on her life.
"I think the reason people come into child care is because they truly enjoy the [children] and families," King said. "My favorite part of being a provider is interacting with the families. My first daycare child just graduated from high school last year, and I was invited to the graduation."
For spouses who have a love for children, teaching and learning, being a child care provider may be a great option.
"I will be in child care for two and a half more years, but if I had the option, I would do it forever. I love [children]," King said.
For more information about becoming a child care provider, call the family child care office at (702) 652-4400.

Well, the summer officially begins with the solstice on the 21st. So it's timely that I will begin another list today and work through them over the summer.

VMA Performer Wishlist – Brooklyn Edition
VMA Performer Wishlist - Brooklyn Edition
A few weeks ago the iconic mascot of the VMAs, MoonMan took a trip through NYC. He started at Times Square, snapped a pic on the Brooklyn Bridge, visited the "Comandante Biggie" mural commemorating Notorious B.I.G. After a long day of pit stops and visits, he finally ended up at the entrance to the brand new Barclays Center. If you weren't following his #RoadToTheVMAs on Instagram, you might have missed the announcement that the Barclays Center will be the home of the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards!
Brooklyn is a musical hot spot and has produced some of the most incredible artists in history. The VMAs always put on a high impact show packed with huge performances. This year we'd love to see the lineup honor that history and feature Brooklyn born and based artists. Here is the Pepsi Pulse VMA Performer Wishlist - Brooklyn Edition.
Follow MTV on Twitter to keep up with news and announcements: @MTV
1. The Young Gun: Joey Bada$$
Joey Badass is one of the freshest voices in Hip Hop right now. He's a member of the XXL Freshman Class, the new creative director of Mark Ecko's Ecko Unltd. streetwear brand, and a featured rapper on one of the year's hottest tracks, Asap Rocky's, "1 Train." The 18-year-old Brooklyn native is rising faster than we can watch him fly. After signing with Green Label Sound he paired up with the legendary DJ Premier for a new single, "Unorthodox." We'd love to see him take the stage at the Barclay's Center and show the VMAs just exactly where young Brooklyn is at.
Click here to check out Joey Badass', "Unorthodox," produced by the legendary DJ Premier over at Green Label Sound.
Follow him on Twitter: @joeyBADASS_Like his Facebook Page: http://on.fb.me/OCrzdz
2. The King: Jay-Z
Okay, he owns the place, so the chances of Jay-Z hitting the stage at the Barclay's Center are pretty high. That's not to say that its not a hard earned honor for the Brooklyn native. After performing eight consecutive shows there to celebrate its opening, he definitely knows the ins and outs of the venue. Then again, who are we to say Jay shouldn't get a chance to sit back and watch all the magic happen? After all, it is his business, man.
Click here to watch Jay-Z's "Where I'm From," documentary on YouTube.
Jay-Z on Twitter: @S_C_
3. The Throwback: Foxy Brown and Lil Kim
Over the years there have been many shots fired between Lil Kim and Foxy Brown, no pun intended. Imagine the ultimate reconciliation at the 30th annual VMAs, Foxy and Kim take the stage in their home borough together and squash whatever beef has plagued the two rapstress' relationship since '96.
Follow Lil Kim on Twitter to see if she drops any peacemaking hints: @LilKim
4. The Comeback: Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings
Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings have been New York staples for decades. Brooklyn is the home of Daptone Records, where the Dap Kings are a house band. Jones' soulful, thundering voice has kept the original fire of funk and soul music alive and well into 2013. They're planning to release a new album, yet to be titled in August. Seems like the perfect time to jump on stage for the VMAs that same month.
Follow Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings on Twitter to get the latest: @SharonLJones | @the_dapkings
Facebook Page: http://on.fb.me/IKBeZR
5. The Innovators: Dirty Projectors
The Dirty Projectors have defied pretty much every genre any critic has tried to box them in. Throughout the course of creating their seven studio albums and countless other EPs and singles, their sound has carved out a new space in music. Somewhere between rock and pop, punk and soul, these Brooklynites can fill a venue with sounds that leave audience members reeling. They'd accent any VMA performance lineup MTV can come up with.
Follow them on Twitter: @DirtyProjectorsLike The Dirty Projectors' Facebook Page: http://on.fb.me/OHs319
6. The Pop Pair: Matt & Kim
Never has a couple worked side by side so successfully in pop music before. The singing sweethearts hail from Brooklyn and have a fun, carefree attitude about the music they make. Matt & Kim's shows are fun, energetic and might even include some choreographed dance moves.
Click here to watch the adorable video for, "It's Alright." Does anyone else think this vid is evidence that Kim can twerk?If you're not following @mattandkim on Twitter, you're missing out.
7. The Belle of the Ball: Solange
While Solange did grow up in Texas, she currently resides in Brooklyn with her son Julez. After being featured as Artist of the Week, there's nothing we'd love to see more than her bringing down the house in her home neighborhood. Half the fun of seeing her play is figuring out what she's going to be wearing.

I know there's reports that we'll be $40million under the cap and it's easy to think we're going to get a few free agents but the reality is the money will go fast and most of it could go to players we already have. This is why I think we need to let Long walk unless he's willing to take 5 or 6 mil a year which I doubt he'll want to do. If we use the tag on him, it'll cost 15 mill which leave us with 25mil. Starks who we must keep will cost 8 or 9 Hartline could cost 6 or 7(I want us to keep him) and Smith could cost another 5 or 6.So just those 3 players might cost us about 20million. You'll need another 5 just for the draft which we have 10 picks including 5 in the first 3 rounds so we might even need more than 5 and that'd put us right at the top of the cap. You still have Fasano and Bush and if they walk then we need yet another TE and maybe even a RB. Now if we do let Long walk we'd have those 15 mil to work with. You can draft a RT in round 2 or 3 for a fraction and keep Martin at LT.Now you can go after a guy like Wallace. But after him we might not have much left for anyone else. Now if we can get Starks, Hartline and Smith for around 16 or 17 instead of 20 you have a chance to get a couple of more guys but tagging Long will mean we wont get any top free agents at all. I know Philbin wants to built thru the draft but you need to use free agency too. We need a proven WR at the very least and maybe a TE. That'd set us up for the draft.
Ozzy rules!!

Karl Lagerfeld may be the master of turning heads for whimsy runway creations, like the hula-hoop bag and pearl freckles, but in today's haute couture show, the clothing was not the only thing making a statement. Showing support for French President François Hollande's same-sex marriage bill, Lagerfeld ended his spring '13 presentation with fanciful, frilly, matching wedding dresses worn by two doting brides-to-be.
Escorted by the coolest Chanel model under four feet, Hudson Kroenig, the brides sashayed down the runway, forgoing veils for feathers, as Lagerfeld trailed close behind. Kudos, to you, Kaiser Karl, for once again proving that fashion is not just beautiful and inspired but also a vehicle for social justice. (The Cut)

At Syncrude's oilsands facility near Fort McMurray, insulator journeyman Jerzy Wolodkiewicz and insulator apprentice Mike Sheppard have more than 17 years of combined experience in the trade.
Most rests with Wolodkiewicz, who is eager to share what he knows about the trade with Sheppard, a third-year apprentice.
"The journeymen is the teacher for the new guy in the trade, so we spend time to explain to those guys what we're doing and why we're doing it," Wolodkiewicz said.
Sheppard, 36, and Wolodkiewicz, 59, have been working together since Sheppard started working for Jacobs, which is contracted by Syncrude, when he began his apprenticeship three years ago.
"A good journeyman can teach you everything about the trade," Sheppard said.
He said he enjoys the trade because he's learning something new every day, while Wolodkiewicz describes it as a "very interesting job."
Insulators apply, remove and repair thermal and acoustical insulation on all types of industrial equipment, including duct piping, heat exchanges, tanks and vessels. They read and interpret drawings and specifications to determine insulation requirements, then measure, cut and fit insulation.
To become a certified journeyperson in the trade, apprentices like Sheppard must complete four years of apprenticeship training, which includes technical training and on-the-job hours. In his third year, Sheppard is required to spend a minimum of 1,300 hours on-the-job and eight weeks in the classroom.
Even though Sheppard entered the job site with some classroom experience, Wolodkiewicz said it's still up to journeypeople like him to watch out for the apprentices on-site.
"We always care about the new guys like our own kids," he said.
In addition to watching out for the apprentice working under him, Wolodkiewicz is also eager to pass on his knowledge.
"I'm almost 60-years-old, so I have to give my experience to the new guys, the apprentices, and try to explain everything to them and pass on what I know," he said.
Erwin Woodward, superintendent for trades at Jacobs, said such mentorship between Wolodkiewicz and Sheppard is not just limited to apprentice journeyperson pairings.
"It's also for new journeymen who've never been on the site before," Woodward said. "We pair them up with people who have experience on the site, the guys who have been here for years and are familiar with all the areas and what goes on in each area."
There's always at least a 1:1 ratio for journeypeople to apprentices, and sometimes 2:1 depending on the job, Woodward said.
If an apprentice journeyperson pair doesn't work out, as occasionally happens, "we try and pair them up with another person to see how it is," Woodward said, noting there are about 500 Jacobs employees on-site.
For Sheppard and Wolodkiewicz, the matchup has worked well since the start. As Sheppard nears his journeyperson certification, he's already looking forward to the day he'll be able to mentor new apprentices.
"I'd encourage more people to join the trade," Sheppard said. "It's an excellent trade to get into."

What is the future of the global economy?
With the rise of new economic powers such as China, India and Brazil (and virtually every other country in one small way or another), is the global economy headed, even faintly, in the direction of equality for all nations?
As growing internet access spreads information, enlightenment, global exchange and commerce across the planet, the gross effect appears to be a leveling of standards, innovation potential and competitiveness. People increasingly have access to the same learning resources, technology and information. So people in one part of the world are setting up businesses to rival others across oceans and deserts, effectively leading to a more balanced world in which New York is not so different from Mumbai, for example. Is this the true direction of the global economy, even for third world nations, or is there some other trend that's harder to see?
Huey Freeman
Jul 12 2013: Glad this question came up.
- +2
Well our current economic system will inevitably come crashing down sooner or later. Why? Because of two reasons.
1) Our economic system is driven by competition (whether competing for market share, or countries competing for power/resources) and scarcity (not enough demand to meet all wants). Two things wrong with this of course. Competition breeds corruption, and class differences, which in turn creates scarcity. Why is this bad? well its simple...with competition and scarcity, you will naturally create a disequilibrium in the spreading of wealth and resources. This is easy to see as 1% of the worlds population currently owns 40% of the worlds wealth, and that number is only going to get bigger as scarcity is continually driven.
2) Consumption Vanity Disorder - Now the foundation of our economy depends on consumption. Right away there is something wrong with this. We live on a finite planet with finite resources, to even think of a system that pushes "infinite growth" as its number one priority is absurd. So why would we still continue to consume? Well simply because our economic system is outdated, and it was in fact created during a time where scarcity was real, so over consumption was not ideal. But with the technological revolution came an over production of goods. Which could have meant more leisure time and an abundance of humans needs met. Instead it was cock-blocked by the status quo of the time, which was consumption. so our very own values had to become "consuming" as the main priority, simply because it benefited the capital owners at the time.
So in conclusion, our current soci-economic system has no life coordinates. It only recognizes the money sequence of value, which has completely deteriorated from the life sequence of value. It wont be long before this scarcity driven system collapses down on itself due to its own inherent flaws.
Jul 13 2013: Food, air, water and comfort, will always be commodities in demand, so some form of business and/or trade will always exist. Money doesn't necessarily have to be involved.
Jul 14 2013: I don't think so. In my opinion if we actually used our current technology towards making an abundance of human needs, we wouldn't live within scarcity, and demand for life essential necessaries like food, water, shelter, and social stability, wouldn't have to exist, it would simply be accessible. Access abundance could be achieved with today's technology if it wasn't blocked by our current monetary-market system, where scarcity and inefficiency is perpetually driven, for scarcity = profits.
So in a sense your right. Human needs will always be a commodity as long as we continue to live within the walls of a free market economy.

Jul 14 2013: I've seen all the Zeitgeist movies and studied the Venus project last year or two. If we can get people to cooperate and work together we can accomplish anything, including becoming a Class I or Type I civilization. It will take an act of global war to accomplish this. The horror is too vast to contemplate.
A free market economy is the next best thing. At least the poor can exist without fear of death and have the opportunity to become rich themselves. Either we evolve in our minds of get used to chopped beef.
Huey Freeman
Jul 14 2013: "the poor can exist without fear of death"? really? i find that really hard to believe when most impoverished people (who likely grew up poor to begin with) are constantly living within the perimeter of death, deprivation, and necessity. Especially If a single parent is working for less than a dollar a day and has to feed a family of 5, im pretty sure death is very realistic, and survival even more so.

Bottom line is the market system is a complete failure when it comes to meeting the needs of EVERYONE on the planet, it only recognizes resource allocation via money transfers only, and has no connection to the actual carrying capacity of the earth, its resources, or actual well being of its people. Its a system that solely relies on growth and competition as its main priority, and with that comes scarcity, uneven wealth distribution, and overall necessity (whether resources or human behaviour/health). So yea I highly doubt that this is the "next best thing"
But If an actual "resource based economy" were to exists, peoples values would have to change dramatically, and it wont be through an act of revolutionary "global war", but a revolution in global conciousness. Which paves the way for changing global values.
Jul 14 2013: Death is realistic to all human beings. Life, at this juncture in our evolution is simply a journey to death. All a human being needs to survive is Air, water, food, and to some degree, comfort. It is comfort that the degree of ownership becomes critical. Comfort is clothing, cleanliness, health, shelter -a liveable environment that offers happiness and satisfaction.
A market system is not external to the environment of human beings. it is intractably entwined with the social structure. It is how we interact.
In order to change the market system, we would have to change ourselves: the way we live with one another. We can promote activity with a credit exchange system (Class 0 Civilization) or with a technocratic one (class I Civilization -See the Venus project).
We can live without money in a society that promotes the free exchange of goods and services powered by social need. Social greed is promoted by money/wealth gain. Greed is promoted by the individuals need to survive vs. the many.
The choice is ours. But the market system itself will not change our destiny with death. For that, we need Science. At the present time, science is a marketable commodity. Who gains more, a wealthy person who only lives for 40 years or a poverty stricken person who lives till 80? Who experiences more in life? Poverty with good health has more to offer than wealth with short life.
In my opinion, knowledge gained through the life experience is all that matters. Still, I will die with questions upon my lips.Jul 8 2013: To : Simon Peter Debbarma;
I like your enthusiasm in saying that India will be as ' 'advanced " as any other country ( I am paraphrasing).
Do you think that India will follow the same "rampant " development model that The US has become to be well known about? Will India,s economic progress also spill over to the lower classes? Will the caste system survive economic advancements? It can be said that the US, despite its great strides in industry,marketing etc; has still vestiges of virtual-not-legal institutional "caste system '' which is huge burden on the economy and on the moral fabric of the nation.
I marvel at the home-grown appropriate technology sectors of India and look forward to witnessing India become a major player in the global economy. Can we all learn from economic history? I wonder.
Jul 13 2013: Thank you dawitt. Being positive and optimist could be the key. I'm just 18 and have not even finished high school yet but I'll try to reply your questions with whatever knowledge I have. Forgive me if I say something wrong.
The ''rampant' development model might be what India might follow since india is truthfully a huge fan of USA,no jokes. But as history as shown, different paths are taken most often and most probably we will be taking a different path too.
I believe that if the economic is not shared with the lower classes or in kinder words, people with limited means, it is not really development until then.
I hope the caste system does not survive. Its a destructive part of our culture. As per my knowledge, the caste system is no more prevailing except in small backward ( like really ancient lifestyle backward) communities which should be no problem in removing once we can think of a solution to educating them.
This virtual-not-legal institution caste system is everywhere. Our humane mentality is to blame for it. We just separate ourselves from people that are different from us. We tend not to mix with people of lower status/lifestyles. Most of us are not comfortable with leaving our standards of living for a lower standard, even when doing for a good cause; its difficult. Once we can figure out a glitch-free economic model, which will happen one day for sure, I think everyone will be happy that day.
India has a lot of people, several times any developed country. Don't you think we can do amazing things too?
We were one of the richest places on earth until the British fooled our ancestors. We have multiples times the people, which also equals to multiple times the brain and ideas steaming from it.
I know many with soo much potential and so much ideas even from people with no education, but lack of funding and real education is keeping them from bringing a change to the world. And one day I know that we will a strong power-house in the world.Jul 13 2013: Also, we can learn from everything. So yeah, i think you can definitely learn something from economic history.
First, we need to find someone who knows economic history well. I don't want to read pages of economic history from Wikipedia, lol.Jul 14 2013: Simon has supplied a very good answer. I shall like to add a different perspective to it.
I agree that Indians are huge fans of the US. But if I have understood it correctly, an average Indian is more inspired by the material prosperity of the US not so much the fan of the grit, diligence and courage through which people in the US (once) achieved that prosperity.
Paradoxically, an average Indian is a born socialist too. That explains India's long time ties with erstwhile Soviet Union.
So, Indians are unique in that sense.
Therefore, I think the Indian model of economic growth will follow, after a time, a unique path too. Even when India will be the largest economy in the world it may not mean a swimming pool in each household. There will be practical constraints for that kind of prosperity.
If each country in the world lives exactly the way the USA lives, resource wise, 9 earths will be required.
We certainly need a new definition of economic growth and I hope India will provide it.Jul 3 2013: It seems the global economy is in flux. It is becoming knowledge and access based. If you do not have the knowledge or the access then you are disenfranchised.
For me, the core economic issue is simply compassion and honor. If we, as a people, favored forgiving debts and honoring debts measured with compassion and principled values rather than the greedy and scandalous practices of modern markets we could overcome the personal tragedies that allow those who profit in markets and from society to exploit and manipulate those without the resources to overcome their own challenges.
Our economies have gone virtual. There is no end to virtual resources. It is time we allow every citizen on the planet the luxury of basic utility and sustainability by quantifying personal need and sourcing global supplies with real numbers and using cutting edge modeling and statistics.
The volume of transactions per day in this world is staggering. If we funded a global initiative with a global transaction fee it could do away with poverty all together, given the right set of instructions.
It is time to crowd source and hack humanity. It can be done. It must be done. It will be done.

Jul 3 2013: I believe economy is directly related to inventions.
- +1
Invention of new ideas, new philosophy, new discoveries.
Based on such inventions fast changing nations will improve their economy.
Static nations will face problems.
Jul 3 2013: Not everyone is equally gifted so is not every country going to be equally developed.
And so, its our duty as developed and developing countries to help the countries that are in need of help, be it political, natural resources or anything else of importance.
Unity is strength.
Jul 5 2013: unity is weakness. variety is strength.Jul 3 2013: what bothers me is you approach the subject of global economy, and you start with rising powers. rising powers are not directly connected to the economy. the only connection is that they hinder the economy, sometimes more sometimes less. economy is not a national issue. economy is done by entrepreneurs.
the economy grows where there is freedom and there is capital. capital is an umbrella term for all means of production, factories, tools, vehicles, roads, steel sheets, plastic granules, books, computers and yes, the infrastructure behind the internet too. the internet is a wonderful tool, just like cargo ships.
the future of the economy depends on this understanding. if people continue to empower the states to tweak or "improve" the economy, states will grow and the economy will shrink. because the stronger the government is, the weaker the economy becomes.Aug 2 2013: ...third world nations???
...this composite word or a phrase in itself is contradictory...when I see material things western are developed and when for peace, meditation and relations eastern are...than who is third world nation...
...for material advancement economy has revolved around few nations in past for industrial revolution, now when it's human, others are taking a lead...and so as same for manufacturing, consumption and other things...
...one thing is assure than economy is stable and growing...nobody has taken the finances to mars...the faces behind the hands are changing...may be they are becoming fewer now...but they are not still fewer than the times kings and kingdoms...
...only one challenge to be looked into is the natural abundance and its judicial consumption and care...the balance...
With regards
Manish Kumar Aggarwal
The Mindfood ChefJul 21 2013: Outer space .Jul 21 2013: I think one can only begin to answer the question when one understands what an "economy" is, and what it represents. Think about what the word "economy" means to YOU. Does it simply denote a structured transfer of wealth between individuals, corporations, and nations? Does it wholly represent an accounting of the world's finite resources? Does it properly take into account human rights, ingenuity, and labor?
My sense - based simply on personal study and observations - is that our present global economy is not sustainable. More so, it is clearly not working for billions of people - the billions who live in slum cities, struggle to find clean water and healthy food, and lack proper educational opportunities. I don't think we can - or should - maintain this path when we ackowledge these challenges.
As such, I wholeheartedly think we need to transition from a money- and credit-based society to one that determines goals and bases progress on the Earth's renewable and non-renewable resources. Indeed, eliminate ALL forms of object-oriented trade and barter. The bottom line is that all of the Earth's resources are the property of all of its inhabitants. [If you're at all familiar with The Venus Project, then you have heard much of this before.]
We waste so much time, energy, and materials on redundant, low-quality products (dozens of models of office chair; dozens of similar "throw-away" desktop printers, etc.), that if we simply refocused ourselves on creating quality goods - using cutting-edge automation - we would notably reduce the pressure placed upon the Earth's resources.
Speaking of automation, we should take advatage of our ever-improving technology, and free ourselves from the dangerous and redundant jobs. Our goal should be to allow as many people as possible the opportunity to reach their greatest potetnional. And this begins with education. Clean water, healthy food, safe shelter, and a well-rounded education should be our top priorities.Jul 20 2013: Our world has been rationed.Jul 19 2013: The new super powers of India, China & Brazil may be making a certain percentage of people wealthy but not the majority.
We still have desperate poverty, degradation (human rights abuses) of billions of people in those counties as the wealthy there do nothing to help their poor.
Overpopulation is the raging bull and will be the downfall.Jul 15 2013: Well of the world continues the way it is rather spending in working investments, the global economy could have no future.Jul 15 2013: I do not look very optimistically at the future of the global economy as I believe Americans have become quite lazy and spoiled and the world seems to be trying to emulate us. We are all living far beyond our means and making unrealistic demands on our air, our environment, our resources. Until we realize this, the global economy doesn't hold much hope.Jul 14 2013: To Simon et al
I have great hopes for India in economic progress ;the developments of science and innovation.
There is so much to learn from American experiences--these include what to do and also what not to do. I would like to list ,but few points of interest to me. You may wish to know that I was born in Eritrea to Eritrean parents and left home to go to college and then lived everywhere in Africa,Europe and Asia --for the last about thirty years of my life I have been living in The US where I became a naturalized citizen. That gave me an advantage as a societal/political critic to observe the culture and the political economy .Unlike a native born American, I did not have the brain washing that comes especially with the elementary and primary school educational system and later with main stream acculturation.
The American marketing regime is superb---a model to be emulated in my mind.American educational system also may be worth learning from.
The American Constitution is worth studying--but in practice power has been usurped from WE THE PEOPLE.
Immigration policy--has been one of the greatest renewal factor in The American tradition. Throughout its history a succession of immigrants came with new blood to recharge the economic culture with great benefits.
American minorities and women have made a lot of strides in ensuring minorities rights and women s' rights.We almost had a woman President--I believe soon we may have one.
But, definitely India may be best advised to avoid unhealthy American diets of junk foods. American obsession with guns violence and terrorism throughout its history.Avoid American pornography--who needs that when you have your tantra yoga.Please keep your Hinduism and Buddhism-- the two greatest philosophies of living harmoniously.You have given the world Mahatma Gandhi, Meher Baba, Osho, Deepak Chopra and others .
Thanks for "listening "
Jul 15 2013: No offence to Indian cultures but I have never ever said 'namaste' even once in my entire life nor has anyone said to me.
Anyway, thanks for the wonderful comment. Its been an eye opener.
I really want to see this country as a super-power someday.
I'm a shame to my culture. I don't know who Osho, Meher, and Deepak Chopra is. Damn, I should learn some indian history.
And yes, "Namaste".Jul 13 2013: Like most things business, it depends on competition and free markets. If a country can't compete, it can't play in the game.
It's a zero sum game. If a country can't compete adaquately, it eventually gets absorbed by the other players and loses it's identity.Jul 11 2013: Goodness, I am not an economist. However, the question what is the future of the global economy? reminded me of the article in Money ... Is the next big bubble Bonds? This along with QE in many countries ... the failure of the Euro and most of the EU countries .... banking failures and the supporting stimulus infusions ... etc.
For the quantitative easing policy, the Federal Reserve holdings of U.S. Treasuries increased from $750 billion in 2007 to over $1.7 trillion as of end-March 2013.
China holds $1.17 trillion in U.S. Treasuries. The Japanese own about $1.1 trillion of Treasuries.
Robert Auerbach, Professor of Public Affairs, The University of Texas at Austin, submits the following: "As of March 20, 2013 the Ben Bernanke Federal Reserve has added $2.101 trillion dollars to the base of the U.S. money supply since September 2008 when the financial crisis erupted. That is a 240 percent increase. The Bernanke Fed, that has sole control over the nation's monetary base (currency, coin and private bank reserves), is continuing its money explosion by adding $85 billion a month."
The impact that the G-20 has on global economy and the "shaky" future of the US and EU economy may send economic shock throughout the globe. These types of failures in the past have eliminated the elite and middle classes by the government taking all the money available to support the growing government .... to no avail. As a prime example was the fall of 1916 Argentina a rising world power that fell to the bottom.
Another prime factor to consider is the economic model being used. I would suggest a review of the two primary models: Keynesian and Austrian.
I would like to be able to say the future looks good but I do not believe that. Further I think with failures in the G-20 would have bad effects on all other countries. When recovery occurs perhaps new leadership will emerge.
This is what I have read. Further research by yourself will be required. Bob.
Jul 11 2013: Thanks WinnerJul 13 2013: At some point, prices will have to fall to empty inventories so we can start over. The last time we did this, we did it with WWII. Until we fix prices based on a global index like food and basic comfort, inflation will always increase to foil the game allowing poverty to exist and cause harm.
I think the next bubble willh be with rental property. Wall street shuffled 12 billion dollars into property investment down in Georgia and Florida. They bought up everything of any value, painted it up and put a rental sign on it. I've been looking for a home for two years now without success. The only other opportunity for small home owners is to build their own and many are starting to move in this direction. That is why the rental bubble will burst. I does not take into consideration that people get upset and with current communications, can see how the game is moving. They then take a different path to home ownership.
Even though wall street is trying to make a profit for their investors, they are following the same paths they did after 2000. Of course this will lead to the same result. It's not business.... it's gambling.Jul 10 2013: Just wait for next bubble to pop!
Rich people will keep on getting richer whilst poor will keep on getting poorer!
Middle class is essential to serve rich and keep on control. Information technology seemed the solution to our problems but recent events has showed that it is controlled.
A bitter fact but that's how our world works.Jul 8 2013: manufacturing prices fall, rents (on money too) and food prices rise, security services (and medicine) rise, wages fall, power entrenched. 19c europe might be the model. roboticsJul 7 2013: I'm not an economist, but it seems the direction of the economy relies less on (traditional measurements) of growth and increasingly on the (realities) of our (global environment). What I mean is this. The "peak of" sustainability for (hunter gatherer societies) was reached somewhere around 30,000 years ago "A wild approximation", but a common hypothesis. That's the limit of available resources as it relates to (primitive societies). By that time the accessible world had been populated. In combination with the ice age, the human species was facing (hunter gatherer) catastrophe due to shrinking available game, and other resources etc. Near extinction of the human race was a real possibility. That changed with the advent of agriculture thousands of years later. Today we are facing yet another massive decline in available accessible resources to feed, house,and cloth 7 billion people, soon to be 9 billion. Advances in science are increasing at an astronomical rate, but will it be enough in time? The (leveling) of resource allocation is inevitable in my view. Our survival depends mostly on Education, scientific advancement, stopping rampant fossil fuel consumption and (birth control). Ignorance, corruption, denial, religious, or egocentric fatalism may have pushed us beyond the point of no return already. If we all reject violence,come together and discard the fantasies, superstitions, and tribalism we may have a bright future, for a while at least, perhaps 100-200 years. after that I wish them all luck. They're gonna need it.

Jul 5 2013: Take a look at Hans Rosling's wonderful data on this.Jul 5 2013: Panic, Crash & Burn. Makes no matter what country your in - everyone's connected.Jul 3 2013: Truthfully, I'm a little offended that you sort of think that Mumbai can't be equally developed and advanced like New York (your statement implies that). Does the thought scare you? Yes, we are backward but yes, development is what every country in the world is striving for. One day, my country (India) will be equally developed and hugely successful in every aspect as other first world countries. In my own defense, we are highly developed in the big cities; we only need to expand that development to other locations.

A global economy should have every country with enough food and materials for survival. There should not be divisions such as First world or third world or whatsoever. Isn't this what we want? Equality and happiness? A globally satisfied economy is what we should expect and what we need to aim for. A bunch of countries savoring all the happiness and carefree life that comes from having possessions and advantages is not what we want, although it is the state in which we are in at the moment.
Your question 'What is the future" can be answered by only ourselves. It can be achieved only by us and most importantly, our future depends only on us. So, I say we try to achieve whats best for everyone of us and not only for the first world countries.
Jul 5 2013: Hate to disagree but the major cities have islands within the major cities, outside of those islands, created by large companies. The infrastructure outside of those islands can be poor to non-existent.
I am also concerned about the caste system which still exists and the emphasis on hierarchical mgmt based on caste and age, not experience or ability.Jul 3 2013: I am convinced that no one can predict the future accurately. People who think it is possible should ask themselves why they think this way. Perhaps it is one of the most common of human weaknesses, we wish it were so.
I notice that most of the comments make no attempt at an actual prediction.
Jul 12 2013: I am not that sure Barry.
I think a few things can be predicted about the future of global economy, or one can say there are enough indications regarding certain trends in global economy to perceive a future state of it.
1. By 2030 China will be the single largest Economy in terms of size and PPP, sending the USA to the 2nd place. By that time India will be in the third position. By 2050, India will be the single largest economy overtaking China. By then the USA will be in the third position and China, the second.
2. The WECG (World Economic Center of Gravity) normalized on the surface of earth is constantly shifting eastwards from mid-Atlantic in 1980 and the projection is that by 2049 it will lie somewhere between India and China. See Figure 2 of the following document.
These predictions are entirely along the concept of free market and mixed economy lines and based on classical idea. My feeling is that by the time India starts to command Global Economy, environmental or natural capital will inescapably start to weigh in and we may see a shift towards Natural Capitalism along the line suggested by Amory Lovins, Paul Hawken and Hunter Lovins.Jul 3 2013: The spread of knowledge and information is essentially all that it takes to bring in the equalizing effect that I believe the world is witnessing. We don't need to look back to the colonial era to see the progress that's been made. Although some countries are worse off economically today than they were at some time in the past, it does not imply that even such countries have not moved forward. Critical but not-so-tangible indices such as innovation potential have grown dramatically in this fast moving information age. Wealthier countries can and are artificially speeding up innovation amongst their citizenry with incentives like prizes, scholarships, recognition systems, funding for promising ideas, etc. In this regard, the poorer countries are playing catch-on. Yet a visionary few in these countries who understand the benefits and possibilities afforded them by this free information age are taking very good advantage of it. What they (the poorer countries) must do is get their governance and education right. No one will be able to stop them if they do.Jul 3 2013: Is this the end of middle class prosperity? Is this the end for the U.S.A.?
Watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPKKQnijnsM
As the U.S. American government stands idly by, the super-wealthy increase ever so slightly in number while growing their wealth exponentially. Is the end finally in sight for the U.S. American superpower? Will the middle class be replaced by a massive underclass ruled by a tiny corporate oligarchy?
Here are two opposing views on that subject from TED.
https://www.ted.com/talks/robert_gordon_the_death_of_innovation_the_end_of_growth.htmlJul 3 2013: Wait until it really pops? The greed and shifting around are causing too much chaos. There are too many losers.Jul 3 2013: I don't think global economy is moving towards creating equality. The GREED based model we have will never be able to bring equality and that's not its goal either. Economy was never out of the influence of politics and power game. Living standards of developing economy is growing doesn't mean it will catch up developed economy as developed economy will not static for long.
Indicators of development are far more wider than those of pure economic ones. Knowledge was never the driver of economy rather access and accumulation of resource were & here might is and was always right.Jul 3 2013: I believe the future of global economy depends on many things, i.e. the dissemination of finite resources, the elimination of selfish greed, the growing population demands etc. Currently, the world's economy is becoming less and less balanced with the globe's economic wealth being increasingly concentrated in fewer and fewer.

text: The OneLeMoyne Vision and Strategic Plan The eloquent OneLeMoyne Vision distills the aspirations of our community and shapes our actions across and beyond the Heights. When Dr. Fred Pestello became the first lay president of Le Moyne College in July 2008, he was keenly aware of the significance of his role. He knew that the most important thing a new leader can do is listen. Given dramatic changes in the world and in higher education, Pestello posed this question to the campus and its stakeholders: "What must Le Moyne College become?" He thereby initiated a candid and collegial dialogue, a process which was ultimately as powerful and meaningful as the specific answers that he gathered. That dialogue-- the OneLeMoyne conversation-- was distilled into a vision statement and, through a uniquely collaborative process, became the OneLeMoyne Strategic Plan. This plan serves as a roadmap for our rapidly transforming campus. Since 2008, Le Moyne has achieved three successive, record-breaking years of enrollment; a capital campaign which closed at nearly double its original goal; the largest gifts and the largest building campaigns in its history; and AACSB accreditation. It has doubled its endowment, founded a School of Business, revised its Core curriculum, restructured its senior administrative team, reengineered practices across all divisions, and substantially expanded the work it does to advance its Catholic and Jesuit mission. Feel free to read the OneLeMoyne Strategic Plan at the link provided, to learn more. OneLeMoyne Vision These are times of unprecedented challenge yet unparalleled possibility. They call for persons equal to this moment, capable of reverential attention to the world and thoughtful examination of their place within it. What is needed now is a way of proceeding that leads to innovative and integrated approaches to complex challenges. Le Moyne College responds to this call guided by Jesuit, Catholic tradition. To be a premier Jesuit college where diverse talents meet to foster academic excellence, integrity, and a commitment to justice As a Jesuit college, Le Moyne dedicates itself first and foremost to developing the full capacity of each student's mind and heart. At the core of the Le Moyne experience is the Jesuit commitment to the education and care of the whole person, meant to cultivate in its students a quality of keen, compassionate intelligence. Animated by the Jesuit maxim of finding God in all things, a Le Moyne education encourages reflection and discernment that lead to imaginative action on behalf of transformative justice. Summoned to rigorous inquiry and spiritual exploration, Le Moyne students are challenged to devote themselves to academic achievement, generous service, and to creative, responsible leadership. As a Catholic college, Le Moyne embraces an intellectual tradition rooted in the complementarity of faith and reason. The College strives to be a place where the highest aspirations and deepest convictions of the human person and of the human community can be explored freely and respectfully. Thus, Le Moyne welcomes people of all faiths and those who pursue truth outside of religious traditions as valued members of this learned community. As a comprehensive liberal arts college, Le Moyne offers a core curriculum and wide range of major and professional programs that build foundational knowledge in the arts and sciences alongside specialized expertise. The College upholds centuries-old ideals of liberal arts education by maintaining the highest standards of excellence, cultivating reason, critical acumen, and eloquence.

An idea to absorb the carbon dioxide in the air
Hai i am david working as junior mechanical engineer .. I am proposing an ideat how to decrease the air pollution..air is polluted by mainly carbon dioxide emitted by many vehicles ...as we know all castic soda (sodium hydroxide ) absorb the co2..so that if we made a box having suction fan ..these set up mounted on long hallow verticle tube ..these total equipment construct in between the road having heavy traffick ..co2 entrapped by fan and going to inside the box and absorbed by the castic soda ..if the castic soda is unable to absorb the co2 we wil replaced by using long verticle tube ..box having one light .so that it wil act as a stree lights ..these process is a cyclic process ..we wil construct these a distance of 10 mts .all tubes are connected to main long horizantal tube supplies the castic soda ..so that we wil entrap co2 by these method
Peter Mullen
Jul 31 2013: There is little question that many of the simplest ideas can have the greatest effect. We must begin efforts to reverse (desertification) through (industrial scale) efforts of (reforestation) in the desert regions of the world. We are missing a huge opportunity. In conjunction with other efforts to stop the production of CO2, we must focus an (internationally funded) project to systematically reclaim desert lands. Relying solely on the brave efforts of local farmers, is simply not enough. It requires pumps, (water treatment, purification), soil reclamation, propagation, planting, and biologists to preside over the appropriate species selection and other critical environmental factors. It requires the employment of local populations to give them a direct stake in saving the entire world, and yes they must be paid. Such an industrial scale effort would have enormous benefits for farming, grazing,water retention, CO2 removal . One need only spend a few days in the deserts of the Southwest US, to see the unbelievable regenerative power of (native desert species). Initially it requires more effort politically,and logistically,but in time (micro climates) develop which will cascade throughout the regions in question. The key is native vegetation, which attracts native pollinators, natural seed spreaders,natural pest control, wildlife diversity. We must treat the situation as if we were at war, because we are. The methods, and details must be developed (locally)though careful scientific consensus and sensitivity to the specific ecosytems. The positive spillover effects are vast, and attainable. It may sound crazy to some, but failure to recognize and correct the human caused problem will only lead to disaster, and worse yet a squandered opportunity.Jul 29 2013: More plants esp. trees.

Jul 29 2013: sir we using this in between heavy traffick area , in my country there is a lot of problem with heavy traffic . so that i got this thought
Jul 30 2013: That's why I like TED I learn new things.,Aug 27 2013: Industries that use carbon dioxide eg. for dry ice, actually use fossil fuels to generate CO2. They should harvest it from air using membrane filters.Aug 6 2013: or you could plant a tree?Aug 4 2013: peter
on my farm i have a one acre pond with a 1/4 hp airaetor bubbling from the deepest point 10 ft
in the summer the surface temperatre can reach 80 f degrees without the aerator with the aerator on the temperature rarely gets above 75 f degrees
since ocean surface temperatures pacific have been blamed for most of the extreme weather in the united states and very little fresh water gets to these mid ocean hot spots i think working on temperature control will be a lot more productive than trying to control an otherwise good gas by enforcng draconian economic controls on our entire economy. and then we can discuss the shaky scientific data that warming is really happening, or how to control chinas coal fired energy
i read a nathan myrvold article on pumping sulphur dioxide up 100000 ft over the north pole to eat the carbon dioxide shield in place like mt pinotubo did when it erupted in 1990
both methods have the avantage of being quickly and easily regulated to maintain goal tempsAug 4 2013: Can I ask you how much CO2 we will leave on the earth? What is the boundary separating "Enough amount of CO2" and "Too much CO2 which can pollute the earth?"
Aug 4 2013: The amount of CO2 on the planet does't really change over time, it stays the same (more, or less). The real question is, where is it ? What form is it in? Billions of tons of CO2 are stored in the oceans, sea shells, and in ancient sea beds buried in the earth in the form of limestone deposits. When we harvest that limestone for the production of things like concrete such as for the (Three Gorges Dam) for instance, we release that CO2 into the atmosphere plus Internal combustion engines in cars, boats,planes,power plants that burn oil ,coal, or natural gas. CO2 is absorbed by the (giga-ton) by rain forests, and vegetation.When plants absorb it, it becomes part of the structure of the plant, and is stored there for long periods.That keeps it from floating around in the atmosphere where it becomes a (blanket of gas), (an insulation layer trapping heat).Think of a mathematical set of circumstances that allow human life to exist. Enough food, water, air to breath, a place to live etc. When your outside of that mathematical set of parameters life is no longer possible. The answer to your question is dependent on how much suffering we can endure as a species. The rich will survive, while the poor, and those displaced by desertification, and sea level rise suffer, and die, It's that simple. After measuring a thousand factors, and looking at the (ice cores) that show history of climate the answer is, (far far less than is in the air now). It's still being released faster than at any time in human history, in other words way to much. We need to cut the amount by about half, and fast. There are alternatives. The fossil fuel industry is suicidal, and is fighting to hide the truth, because they are getting rich off destroying the planet. Most of those oil executives will be dead in 40-50 years they don't care at all period! It's all about greed. You can't give exact amounts with such huge problem. It requires knowledge study, and (wisdom) something the US congress doesn't have.Jul 31 2013: th problem with co2 is that it is causing gloal warming, which can be corrected easily and cheaply
anchor barges over the deepest trenches of the oceans wih either solar or nucclear bpower generators on board. also on board a battery of air compressors that will pump air down 500-1000 feet and roil the surface water with cooler water from below. the deeper water will continue to cool the upper layers of water and air lower global temperatures easilyby 2 degrees or more can be easily regulated tomaintain a goal temperature and be relatively pollution free in operaton
Aug 4 2013: You're a little off on your estimates Dave. The scale of warming caused by the CO2 blanket we've created over ourselves, is (many millions) of times more vast than the amount of energy it would take to circulate the deep ocean currents to correct it. The oceans do this on their own as dense salt water is naturally exchanged with fresh water from terrestrial sources. The dense salt water sinks, and the fresh water tends to stay at the surface. You have a nice idea, but the scale of the problem is huge, far beyond our capacity to generate the power for what you propose. Even if we had thousands of nuclear plants it wouldn't make a dent my friend. Think about what's happening.CO2 is hovering in the troposphere, the extremely thin layer of air, and all it's components hovering over us only few miles thick. Think of it like a thin onion skin of atmosphere around our little ball in space.Vast amounts of energy that strike us from the sun under the right circumstances are reflected back into the cold vacuum of space. Like pulling a blanket over us the CO2 acts as a barrier to the dissipation of that heat energy. The insulation effect is many orders of magnitude more powerful than it's thinness would suggest. That's why deserts get so cold at night, (radiational cooling) the heat absorbed by the earths mass is quickly dissipated into space after the sun sets because the air is devoid of water vapor. Unlike water vapor the CO2 doesn't go away, unless it's absorbed by plants. The best solution to that is to stop, and reverse the CO2 we're putting in the atmosphere. There is merit in your idea however. You might want to look on Google videos for lectures on (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Plants) They can be used to generate power through just the process you're describing. The value is not circulation but generation of electricity, and hydrogen for consumption instead of fossil fuels. We have no choice but to stop consuming fossil fuels. There's no easy out my friendJul 31 2013: sorry, but this is an F in engineering.
reason 1: what is the overall process? NaoH is made of salt and water. the result is NaOH, hydrogen and chlorine. if you combine it with CO2, it forms Na2CO3. the total process is then:
H2O + NaCl + CO2 = Na2CO3 + Cl2 + H2
you got rid of CO2, but now you have Na2CO3 and Cl2 to dispose. how? if you release Cl2 to the atmosphere, sooner or later it will be transformed into HCl, which is acidic. if it contacts carbonate minerals, it releases the same amount of CO2 as you started with. only you went through a lot of dangerous corrosive poisonous intermediate compounds.
reason 2: why would we put such devices on cars? we can plant them anywhere, they can capture atmospheric CO2. it does not matter which CO2 you capture, only the total amount counts. it also solves the issue of combustion power plants, house heating and so on, in one go. we don't need millions of small devices, if we can have a few big ones.
reason 3: it is not a chemical issue. the problem is economical in nature. we already have zero-carbon technologies, like electric cars, biofuel, hydrogen, etc. we don't use them because they are expensive, and also because the transition is expensive. so recommending another even more expensive solution helps not.

.How much is the CO2 footprint for making caustic soda?Jul 30 2013: The idea seems sound in theory, but fails the one test that truly matters.
Cost per benefit, practicality of application, call it what you will but its probably the single biggest dividing line between science and engineering.
Aside from whether global warming is man made or not (a debate for another time), the solution is simply too expensive to be feasible.
Developed countries are too cheap, and the developing ones probably don't have that sort of cash to shell out even if they wanted to. Maintenance costs for the system alone are mind boggling, never mind raising the initial sum to get it built.
It'll probably be more cost effective to spend all that money on nuclear power plants to replace the coal burning ones, to be honest. Its all about cost per effect.Jul 30 2013: David, Mechanical engineering is a fine profession. Pursue these studies to reach the pinnacle of your position.
I studied various engineering disciplines in my career so I have reviewed your idea with a practiced eye.
However, the idea of using .NaOH in tubes on city streets to absorb CO2 is somewhat problematic.
It is highly corrosive, so the distribution and containment system of tube and pipes would need to be of costly non reactive materials.
In high density traffic, one must consider traffic accidents. Any accident damaging the tubes would cause the release of a very hazardous material in a public area.
I could list other issues, but I think you see the problem. It would become a costly and dangerous project for benefits received.
Sorry to be negative, but you need to think through all ideas to find the unintended consequences.Jul 29 2013: well thats a kind of short sighted idea. I would go a little bit more into this direction: http://www.ted.com/talks/kamal_meattle_on_how_to_grow_your_own_fresh_air.html
Jul 29 2013: thank u sir . my thoughts always thinking about new ideas . . thinking is my streanghth. its jesus gift for meJul 28 2013: carbon dioxide scrubbers have been used for years, dating back to the start of the 20th century. If you are interested you can check the history. It was used in submarines in world war I, II and for re-breathers that had no bubbles. It was also used on space craft, like the Apollo series.
currently some power plants use scrubbers on the smoke stack but it costs 100 dollars per ton of captured carbon dioxide.
Jul 29 2013: we set up these equipement middle of the roads sir . its act like street lights also . as u said power plants and sub marines having these but peoples are going on the roads not to near power plant chimneys and near to sub marines . i got this thought to decrease the pollution in between the peoples sir
Jul 29 2013: the stanford study showed that method would cost 1000 dollars per ton of captured carbon dioxide - economically not feasible.
need to come up with a better chemical or method to push the air through the scrubber that does not use power which would generate more carbon dioxide.
I applaud the thought - need more innovationJul 28 2013: I'm sure you must mean carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide is what animals exhale and plants must have to live. Vehicles emit carbon monoxide.
Jul 29 2013: If the car's catalytic converter is working they should be emitting CO2. That is afterall the main reason they are fitted.
Jul 29 2013: CO2 is harmless to the environment, and is in fact necessary for plants. No scrubbing is required or desired. Carbon monoxide is a greenhouse gas.
Jul 29 2013: CO2 is a greenhouse gas. Yes it is necessary, but just like salt, too much of a good thing is a bad thing. The chemistry of our atmosphere with regards to CO2 has changed dramatically in the last 150 years.Jul 29 2013: if co2 decrease plants facing problem ,,,,, but in the world how many cities we have how many rush traffic junctions we have ..compare .how many plants available on the roads ..nothing to compare sirJul 30 2013: Actually carbon monoxide is a poor greenhouse gas due to its linear shape. It's presence does prolong the life of methane but the effect is of little importance.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas#Greenhouse_gasesJul 29 2013: u r correct sir but now we are facing the problem with CO2 thats the reason i got this thought
