Global Warming: John Mercer Glaciologists Announces Dangers of Climate Change

John MercerGlaciology, John Mercer, And The Early Signs of Global Warming

To John Mercer, the concept of global warming and catastrophic regional flooding was not new. It’s been happening for ages, and the glaciologists who study the behavior of ice in seriously large quantities have long taken a special interest in flooding. They give a name “jökulhlaup,” from Icelandic, to the explosive event that occurs when the buildup of water behind a glacier breaks free from the confines of the glacier. In small scale, it happens often. But for a grand example, consider the flooding that washed over Washington State when a supposed glacier-locked lake burst loose on the nation.

For most scientists, arguments concerning the meanings of the ridges in the scablands ended in the 1940s. Geologists, in general, agree that the scabland ridges are larger and more expressive versions of the ripples sometimes seen in mud on a creek bed. Yet before 1940, many scientific leaders continued to argue against the concept of any rapid changes in the world water table. However, some men did hold to a different timetable. Even back in 1947 Swedish geophysicists Hans Ahlmann argued that global warming might push the threat of catastrophic flooding right into the present century. Still, for the larger part of research and study, it was into the 1960s before scientists began to consider global warming as a possible threat to modern man.

The idea of major climate-related disasters grew slowly. In 1962, John Hollin argued the danger of small climate changes and how they could affect ice in Antarctica (1). Hollin and Alex Wilson, a fellow believer, expressed grave concerns that immense sheets of ice could soon be floating across the southern oceans. They wrote of tsunamis, rising sea levels, and a mountainous glacier rushing forward at hundreds of meters per day. But very few others joined the outcry. The Hollin / Wilson vision was too imaginative, too far reaching, and too “unlikely.” With the Antarctica glacier anchor ranging more than four kilometers in depth, Hollin’s arguments that rising seas would lift it free of the root bedrock seemed highly unlikely.

 

Global Warming – A Shout From John Mercer.

Even into the 1970s, global warming remained far outside the realm of public concern. But not so for an Ohio State University glaciologist named John Mercer. To Mr. Mercer, Global warming affecting the icecertain disturbing similarities and dissimilarities between the Eurasian Artic and the western Antarctica needed immediate attention. For example: The continental shelf of both Polar Regions was but a few hundred meters deep. However the 2.5-kilometer thick ice sheet resting on the western Antarctica reflects a sharp contrast to the Eurasian Artic with its nearly non-existent layer of grounded ice.

To Mercer, the distinctions indicated great threat possibilities from global warming. If the ice sheet that covered western Antarctica should disintegrate, the known sea level could raise by as much as six meters. Coastlines throughout the world would experience indescribable flooding.

Mercer’s findings, theories and the resultant investigation concerning the Eurasian Arctic and the associated glacial history evoked mixed opinions. Scientists exchanged papers and test results – many of them expressing contradictory views. And even as the arguments continued, the European Science Foundation initiated new and more intensive research programs. From seven European countries, over 50 scientists took part in the first POlar North Atlantic Margins (PONAM) study of the Barents Sea.

But in the end result of all the studies and testing, researchers determined that the west Antarctic ice sheet was capable of “resisting substantial rises in sea level” (2). However, although not taken seriously, some risk factors were acknowledged:

  • The melt-rate could increase if the ocean around Antarctica warmed
  • Unless balanced by snowfall and in increase in evaporation, the ices shelves could eventually disappear.

Thus the west Antarctic ice sheet could be at risk of rapid collapse. An increase in global rise in sea level could follow. Yet the arguments continued, and most scientists in the group protested that Mercer’s “threat of disaster” was far, far into the future. Leaping ahead to 2014. In a recent New York Times report, modern scientists are claiming that the collapse of the ice sheet is already in progress. A catastrophic rise in sea levels seems inevitable, or so they say. Look for it in upcoming journal releases from both Science and the Geophysical Research Letters.

It seems that John Mercer was indeed a man ahead of the times.

Rheem Air Conditioning – Offering Copeland® Compliant Scroll® Compressor Air Conditioning Solutions

rheem-air-conditioning-heat-pump-condensing-unitsRheem Air Conditioning Division and the 1994 Adoption of Copeland® Compliant Scroll® Compressor Technology

The Rheem Air Conditioning Division operates from three facilities in the United States, all ISO 9000 certified and all in the lower states of the nation. Shipping throughout North American and other world regions, the full line of commercial and residential Rheem heating and cooling products come out of Fort Smith, Arkansas, Greenville, Alabama and Milledgeville, Georgia. The Rheem Manufacturing distribution network includes more than 15,000 locations throughout the world. Brand labels applied to Rheem heating and cooling products include: Rheem, Ruud and WeatherKing. The company currently employees approximately 3,500 direct workers.

Designed to ensure customer satisfaction, Rheem air conditioning products are designed to meet or exceed industry standards. And Rheem, as a company, is always seeking to grow and improve their product lines. For years, the Rheem Manufacturing Company A/C division has been making bold headlines in the realm of air conditioning technology. In December of 1998, the company released a press release declaring installation of over three million Copeland® Compliant Scroll® Compressors. Today, Rheem includes the Copeland as a standard component of every Rheem-crafted residential condensing unit.

Identified among the quietest, most durable condensing compressors on the market, Scroll compressors enhance home comfort for millions of Americans and residents throughout the world. According to William Lux, Rheem Vice President Marketing, “Compliant Scroll Compressors use an advanced orbiting technology that eliminates the need for pistons and valves found in old-fashioned reciprocating compressors,” (1). Mr Lux addresses the Copland Scroll as the “…most efficient compressor technology ever invented.” And we all know that efficient performance reduces the demand for HVAC maintenance calls.

It was in 1987 when Copeland first introduced the Compliant Scroll Compressors. By 1988, the Rheem air conditioning division accepted the performance tests and began installing the advanced Copeland compressors into residential heating and cooling equipment. The product was extremely successful, and in 1994 Rheem Manufacturing adopted an “all-scroll” initiative. The “Scroll Inside™” label is now a registered trademark of Rheem Manufacturing Company.Copeland Scroll Compressor

Simplicity is the core of the product’s success. Scroll technology incorporates two scroll-shaped elements that work to compress refrigerant gas in a reliable and continuous fashion. Gas entering from the outside of the scroll is regulated in a series of sealed crescent-shaped pockets that are form when the orbiting element contacts the stationary scroll. The process continues and the pockets grow progressively smaller as they near the center of the compressing cycle. The gas is continuously compressed right up to the moment of discharge.

According to the Copleland Director of Air Conditioning Marketing, Brandy Powell, the patented Copeland compliance process functions on a concept wherein two scroll components interact to consecutively achieve radial and axial compliance for best efficiency and durability. The advantages are as follows:

  • Minimized Gas Leakage – Applied centrifugal force enables the technology to achieve continuous flank contact, which assures maximum effective performance with minimum gas leakage.
  • Improved Reliability – Applied radial compliance between components enables the process to effectively, reliably and durably separate the presence of debris and/or liquid refrigerant.
  • Elimination of Tip Seals – By enabling the scroll to maintain continuous contact during all normal processes, applied axial compliance reduces leakage without need for tip seals.
  • Wear In Performance – Both the axial and the radial elements of the compliance process enable the scroll components to “wear in” as opposed to wearing out.

 

Rheem Air Conditioning Technology Always On The Move

Just because it was way back in 1994 when Rheem first adopted the all-inclusive Copeland® Compliant Scroll® Compressor Technology program, don’t think the company isn’t daily state-of-the-art. Here are just a few simple headlines to help you keep perspective (2):

* July 31, 2013 – Under the Rheem and the Ruud brands, the Rheem Air Conditioning division debuts a new gas furnace line capable of delivering efficiencies that exceed 98 percent AFUE.

* December 4, 2013 – Rheem expands heating, cooling and pool/spa product options and services by acquiring Heat Transfer Products Group (HTPG) and the associated refrigeration equipment technological opportunities.

* February 26, 2014 – U.S. Senator Shelby visits local Rheem water Heating Manufacturing Facility. Finding ways to enhance the community job market and the environment remains a priority with the Rheem air conditioning division.

Climate Change in Arizona – The Economic Impact Of Climate Change On Arizona Citizens

Global Warming Plot Of NASA GISS DataArizona residents are well familiar with the blunt-force temperatures of climate change. But now the economic consequences are also mounting. Join American Cooling and Heating in this brief overview of global warming cost-and-effect in Arizona.

Even as politicians argue the validity of global warming, the economic burden of laws designed to reduce and control human-triggered climate change wrap heavy hands around the livelihood of citizens in Arizona and other regions of the Southwest U.S.,” local spokesperson for ACH in Arizona.

Managing Global Warming, Climate Change and the Economic Fallout

After enduring over a decade of year-by-year temperature increases averaging nearly two degrees Fahrenheit, Arizona residents don’t tend to argue the validity of global warming or the reality of undesirable climate change. The heat is here. This South-western state has experienced the highest brute-force temperature change of any of the lower 48 states in the U.S. Long-term heat increases seem a permanent complication. Recent studies indicate that by 2050 Arizona citizens can expect to see regional temperatures climb by another three to five degrees.

So why do the residents of this fine state resist the industrial changes that can help reduce the problem?

Fixing global warming requires economic sacrifice. In a nation already struggling against a fragile economy, such sacrifice seems unreasonable. Surrendering daily bread in exchange for resolving long-term climate change seems a sour tradeoff. According to the senior vice president of communications at the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, Laura Sheehan, issues pertaining to climate change should be taking a back seat to current economic demands (1). Too many people perceive Obama’s climate change agenda as political rather than essential. Real issues are at state. Across the country, families are struggling to pay bills, meet necessary health care conditions, and provide for a bit of comfort in a troubled world.

But restraint is not the only mindset. According to Frances Beinecke from the Natural Resources Defense Council, acting now to eliminate human-triggered climate change will help the economy by providing new jobs, lower cooling costs, and a healthier environment. Yet for most people, fixing global warming should not be in the Top 10 list of national priorities. Climate change is an issue to be addressed, but one look at what is going on in Arizona reveals an unacceptable measure of economic sacrifice.

Commissioned regulations crafted to ensure a reduction in the emission of greenhouse gases are already in effect. And they are promoting increased economic burdens on all local industries, including the agricultural industry, an industry of primary strength in the American Southwest. With a March 2014 unemployment rate of 7.3, Arizona hangs with the top eight highest levels of unemployed in the nation (2). Laws that burden industry with additional expenses hinder employment opportunities.

Arizona residents are prodding government agencies to fix the current problems rather than the long-term human-triggered climate change issues. For families already suffering due to new regulations associated with fixing global warming, the demand is that Arizona leaders establish laws that successfully reduce the impact of human-triggered climate change without trashing the economic stability of the affected regions.

Climate Change in Arizona – Obvious But Not So Important As Having a Job

Economic prosperity requires progressive growth. Yet urban expansion generates higher urban heat tables. In recent years, the nighttime temperatures in Arizona have exceeded those of the adjoining states by as great an increase as 10 degrees. However, the laws designed to correct global warming increase business operating costs and hinder progress. The Arizona economy suffers the fallout. Businesses go under. Locals lose jobs. And families pay the higher cost for controlling local human-triggered climate change.

Throughout the Southwest:

  • Summertime grows hotter
  • Above normal high temperatures has become the normal
  • 90 degree-plus nighttime temperatures are on the increase
  • The local water table is decreasing
  • Water pollution is on the increase
  • Fire, dust and dry land shadow daily life
  • Local precipitation has decreased
  • According to scientific predictions: By the mid-century, Arizona will suffer a 40-percent decrease in usable water.

Reports from the Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) indicate that the decrease in local precipitation will affect growth in all major local industry sectors including:

  • Agriculture
  • Mining
  • Utilities
  • AND more.

The consequences of accumulated industrial losses will affect consumer incomes, consumer spending and population growth throughout state. According to the SNL economic study, Arizona lingers as one of the most vulnerable states in the nation. With regional agriculture and ranching industries already struggling for survival, the cost of the economic fallout on marginalized farmers may be too great to withstand.

It’s not yet a panic situation, but for most Arizona residents the necessity to deal with the immediate economic problems far outweighs any need for correcting long-term global warming issues. Arizona local, state and federal agencies need to equalize the cost structure and establish an economically practical resolution to the effects of global warming.

Trane Heat Pump Comparison – A Review Of Residential Trane Heat Pumps

Trane Heat Pump ComparisonHow Best To Compile a Residential Trane Heat Pump Comparison and Review

This Trane heat pump comparison from American Cooling and Heating is designed to provide Arizona residents with a solid, fact-based review and comparison from three distinct groups of Trane H/P equipment. To make the information worthwhile to prospective buyers, we are not going to poke around with another list of exact system specs. You can find that nearly anywhere on the Internet, including the highly informative Trane HVAC products page on this very website.

This comparison focuses on a close-up of how various Trane heat pump units compare to the competition, to one another, and to the industry as a unique heating and cooling solution for Arizona homeowners. Seven distinct units from three distinct Trane HP model ranges are included in the review:

  1. The top end Trane XL16i and Trane XL20i
  2. The mid-range Trane XB13, Trane XL15i and Trane XR15
  3. The low end Trane XB13 and the Trane XR13.

Kicking Off the Trane HP Review and Comparison

Before dipping into the unique components of each system, take a moment look at some of the primary features that make Trane an Arizona top-choice in heat pump technology. First, all Trane split system air conditioning and heat pump equipment applies outdoor coil protection via fully louvered panels baked in with a tough powder paint finish. These same units are assembled with weather-resistant screws designed for long-term performance. But most important of all is the patented Trane all-aluminum Spine Fin™ outdoor coil technology. This unique-to-Trane cooling technology assures that all Trane heat pump and air conditioning condensing systems make the most out of heat-transfer and energy-efficient functionality.

So let’s look now at the unique aspects of these Trane HVAC products.

Trane Heat Pump Comparison: What Are the Unique Features of the Trane XL20i and the Trane XL16i

When reviewing Trane residential H/P equipment, the XL16i and the XL20i exceed the bill for top end heating and cooling equipment. What makes them stand out above the competition?

  • Fan Speed – A multi-stage fan in the XL20i reduces energy consumption during mild weather conditions. This saves you money.
  • Superior Warranties – Crafted for extended durability, both units pack a 12-year limited warranty on the compressor and a 10-year limited warranty on the outdoor coil and on all internal functional parts*. Buyers of these systems can also purchase an Optional Extended Warranty on parts, labor, or parts and labor.
  • Advanced Technology – Both the XL16i and the XL20i take advantage of Trane ChargeAssist technology, which helps ensure quality performance on just the right amount of refrigerant
  • AND, of course, the patented Trane all-aluminum Spine Fin™ outdoor coil technology.

 

 Trane H/P Comparison: Unique Features of the Trane XB13, Trane XL15i and Trane XR15

 So what features can set a mid-range heat pump apart from the pack? Things like a 12-year compressor warranty always standout as unique in the residential H/P marketplace. Efficient noise control also makes a difference. And in some Arizona homes, even the profile of heat pump unit can become very important. Here’s how the XB13, XR15 and XL15i stand out: 

  • Superiority Warranty Protection – Although only the Trane XL15i is backed by Trane’s 12-year compressor warranty, both the XB13 and the XR15 kick off with a Trane 10-year limited warranty on the compressor, outdoor coil, and all internal functional parts*. Any of the systems can be upgraded to the Trane Optional Extended Warranty program and/or an optional transferability of your Registered Limited Home System Warranty.
  • Short Profile – Although the XL15i does not fit short profile heat pump specs, the XB13 and the XR15 come in with a height of only 29”. That’s a ready-made solution for Arizona homes dealing with tight HVAC installation quarters.
  • Noise Management – Both the Trane XR15 heat pump and the Trane XL15i heat pump ship with an installed sound blanket that effectively reduces the noise level of the compressor
  • AND, or course, the patented Trane all-aluminum Spine Fin™ outdoor coil technology.

 Trane Heat Pump Comparison: Looking For The Best In Low End A/C Technology With the Trane XB13 and the Trane XR13

Although only certain Trane air conditioning systems take advantage of two-stage compressor efficiency, every Trane HP or Trane A/C makes use of Climatuff® compressor Trane XR15 heat pump specstechnology. For power and effective performance, the XR13 and the XB13 offer a slightly above average SEER rating of up to 14.50 with an HSPF of up to 8.50. Cap it off with economical operation and durable construction, and either of these two heat pumps automatically standout as reliable and cost-effective. But let’s pinpoint at least three unique functions that make the low end Trane cooling solution a wise choice for some AZ residents:

  • Profile – Sometimes height matters. Both the Trane XB13 H/P and the Trane XR13 H/P family sport short profiles ranging from a mere 29” up to 41”. That’s a standard beater in the industry that works well for many AZ homeowners.
  • Extended Warranty – Although these two Trane low-end models already come with the Trane advanced 10-year limited warranty on compressor, outdoor coil, and internal functional parts, they also include the option for buyers to reap the benefits of buying a Trane Extended Warranty on labor and other costs. It’s a valuable asset available to every buyer of a new Trane heat pump system (1).
  • AND, of course, the XB13 and the XR13 take advantage of the patented Trane all-aluminum Spine Fin™ outdoor coil technology.

American Cooling and Heating Heat Pump Solutions

The core of this Trane Heat Pump Comparison ignores the basics of SEER and HSPF figures. Typically the name of the unit reflects the SEER rating of the unit. Residential Trane H/P systems are available in sizes ranging from 1.5 to 5 tons. Your ACH estimator will advise you as to the best system suited to your Arizona home.
