Continuing on from our 101 on the atmosphere we now turn towards the Ozone layer, its composition, its effects upon the Earth and the reason why it’s so important. So what’s the deal here? Why is it so important? And how come 10 years ago everyone was banging on about it and now it’s all [...]
The Atmosphere…
Well now, its time to break down my ignorance of another dangerously confusing subject. This week I’m going to provide peeps with a bit of a rundown on the atmosphere and some of the key theories associated with it. It is very important to at least have a grounding knowledge of the atmosphere as [...]
Mass confusion….LOL pun….
Take a deep breath, relax…. And we shall continue with our endeavour into the complex world of particle physics. So a quick recap for those whose scroll button is broken. Atomic theory was first proposed by the Ancient Greek Atomists. They first theorised that the world contained minute ‘uncuttable’ particles called atoms. These [...]
The Barbers tool of common sense
Climate change; anthropogenic global warming, holes in the Ozone layer, polar ice caps melting, or the ice age incoming. What about rising CO2 levels and other greenhouse gas emissions? Is the globe cooling or is it heating up? Are all these factors caused by man, or is this just a [...]
The Carbon Cycle…
Continuing on from our deforestation – 101 class, here at ConfusedbytheWorld we are moving onwards and upwards to the Carbon cycle and its role within the environment.
Carbon, Carbon everywhere
So what’s it all about and why is everyone continually banging on about it. A large proportion of information about CO2 on the net relates [...]
Quarks of Confusion…
Once again were going to start with the basics of a subject and attempt to build up some general knowledge before hitting the more advanced, and definitely more perplexing ideas. This week I’ve decided to turn my attention to the mystifying world of physics and atomic theory.
In the beginning…
Like a lot of ideas [...]
