Possible research questions and answers based on NASA's Total Rainfall map.

1. Can most developed countries of the world affect total global rainfall due to increased emissions?

Yes. While developing countries strive for technological advancements and generally do not prioritize environmental concerns, developed countries already produce greenhouse gas emissions at seven times the rate of developing countries. A developed country in general have higher income per capita than developing countries. This means urbanization and population growth are major contributing factors to the rise of greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, countries on the verge of being considered a developed nation such as China is already dealing with environmental issues due to its rapid pace of urbanization. Some have estimated China will overtake the United States as the biggest producer of greenhouse gases. Environmental concerns such as prolonged heat waves, floods, and storms can contribute to the overall fluctuation of global rainfall.

2. Why does precipitation tend to develop in the middle of the ocean away from landmasses?

The ocean plays an important role in weather patterns. Warmness of ocean waters provide fuel for storm systems to develop. Liquid water produced by rainfall are essentially freshwater, which is used for human consumption. Once water reaches land, the chances of being recycled back into the hydrogen cycle significantly decreases. Conversely, colder ocean currents make it tougher for cloud formations. Weather conditions such as storms typically develop in tropical climate, where humidity and heat help contribute to the formation of rainfall. For instance, some storms in the Atlantic Ocean originate in west Africa near the tropics. Principles of convection and Corliolis effect will force rainfall further north, developing some of the storms and hurricanes experienced in the Caribbean or in the Gulf of Mexico region during the summer months.

3. If polar regions start receiving more rainfall, will it affect the tilt of the earth’s axis?

The earth’s axis is measured daily by scientists to a high degree of precision and has remained in the vicinity of 23 degrees. While axial tilt may affect climate changes, it is very unlikely climate change itself can affect the Earth’s axis. Any changes in the earth’s tilt are measured by matters of nano degrees and generally imperceptible. Nevertheless, small variations in the 23-degree tilt can still affect the lengths of our weather seasons.

Media Release

Ontario's Electricity Subsidy Undercuts Conservation

Toronto, June 14, 2011 - Ontario's Environmental

Commissioner says the Ontario Clean Energy

Benefit (OCEB) is a perverse incentive that could

endanger the energy conservation savings the government is hoping to achieve.

In his Annual Energy Conservation Progress Report

- 2010 (Volume One): Managing a Complex Energy

System, released today, Gord Miller says "The 10

per cent rebate on electricity bills is an

artificial subsidy on the price of electricity so

it encourages consumers to use more." A study by

energy analysts estimated that the OCEB could

wipe out a third of the planned conservation savings over the next four years.

Miller praises the government for introducing

time-of-use pricing that encourages households

and businesses to shift their consumption away

from periods of high demand, but noted that price

subsidies undercut this development. Prices will

necessarily rise because of a backlog of

transmission investments and new generation

projects. "Unfortunately, the government hasn't

addressed the issue of rising prices in a way

that prioritizes conservation," says Miller.

"Instead it has continued the failed policy

approach of the past where the government's only

answer to higher electricity prices is to

artificially lower electricity prices."

If the government feels the need to help

consumers with the higher energy costs it could

make the benefit a fixed amount, instead of tying

it to consumption levels. "That way," says

Miller, "the Clean Energy Benefit would be less

of a disincentive to electricity conservation."

Miller is also concerned about delays in rolling

out Ontario's important Conservation and Demand

Management (CDM) programs. Between now and 2014,

electric utilities, supported by the Ontario

Power Authority, are supposed to reduce overall

electricity use, as well as peak demand.

"Province-wide conservation programs were all

supposed to begin in January 2011," says the

Commissioner, "but the delays mean we will miss opportunities this year."

The Environmental Commissioner is also

questioning a recent decision by the Ontario

Energy Board to freeze conservation budgets for

Union Gas and Enbridge Gas Distribution,

particularly at a time when the government has

cancelled its own conservation programs for gas

consumers. "The Board has too narrow a view about

the benefits that will come with increased

conservation. It is ignoring the avoided

infrastructure costs and reduced greenhouse gas

emissions that will come with reductions in consumption of natural gas."

The Environmental Commissioner of Ontario is the

province's independent environmental watchdog.

Appointed by the Legislative Assembly, the ECO

monitors and reports on compliance with the

Environmental Bill of Rights, the government's

progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and

its actions towards achieving greater energy conservation in Ontario.

Report Summary

Managing a Complex Energy System:

Annual Energy Conservation Progress Report - 2010 (Volume One)

Under the Environmental Bill of Rights,1993, the

Environmental Commissioner of Ontario (ECO)

reports annually to the Legislative Assembly of

Ontario on the province's progress in energy

conservation. Managing a Complex Energy System,

the first volume of the 2010 energy conservation

report, reviews policy developments that occurred

over the year, highlights concerns with the

current policy agenda and outlines

recommendations to further conservation in Ontario.

The Long-Term Energy Plan

In 2010, the government restarted the development

of the Integrated Power System Plan by issuing

the Long-Term Energy Plan (LTEP) and a Supply Mix

Directive. The ECO is pleased the government

acted on a previous recommendation to establish

electricity consumption targets in addition to

peak demand reduction targets. This will reduce

the need for new generating stations,

transmission and distribution lines, and better

reflects the design of many of the conservation

programs available. However, the ECO feels the

LTEP did not adequately explain the difficult

trade-offs necessary when choosing among types of

generation. Furthermore, the LTEP is an energy

plan in name but is an electricity plan in

reality. Ontario needs an energy plan and a

multi-fuel conservation strategy that addresses all energy sources. (Page 11)

Electricity Pricing

Several changes in fiscal policy have affected

the cost of electricity, including the 13%

Harmonized Sales Tax (HST). As a result,

electricity is now treated like other goods and

services, sending a more accurate price signal

about its cost. However, with the Ontario Clean

Energy Benefit the government has essentially

reversed the impact of the HST and restored an

artificial price subsidy on electricity, creating

a perverse incentive that undermines

conservation. Changes were also made to the

Global Adjustment to charge very high prices

during a few hours of very high demand for large

electricity consumers (more than 5 MW). This

change is essentially a form of critical peak

pricing. In general, the ECO supports this

incentive to reduce peak demand and urges the

government to expand critical peak pricing to

smaller consumers and adjust some inequities in

the allocation of costs in the Global Adjustment. (Page 21)

A New Conservation Framework

A new Conservation and Demand Management (CDM)

framework for electric utilities has been

implemented for 2011 to 2014. For the first time

utilities have been mandated to meet conservation

targets based on a provincial target of 1,330 MW

and 6,000 GWh. The Ontario Energy Board (OEB)

developed a CDM Code to govern the utilities' CDM

activities. The ECO is concerned that the current

CDM framework may discourage co-operation with

other utilities or organizations and is

unnecessarily restricting the role of utilities

and their ability for innovation. The current CDM

framework is set to expire on December 31, 2014.

To ensure momentum is sustained a review and

preparation for the next CDM framework should be

completed before this end date. (Page 31)

Conservation Budget Freeze

On March29, 2011, the OEB announced that the

conservation budgets for Ontario's natural gas

utilities would be limited to their existing

levels for the next three years. This was a

surprising decision as both utilities and Board

staff supported an increase in conservation

spending. In addition, the Minister of Energy had

also urged the OEB to consider expanding natural

gas conservation efforts. The decisions of both

the government and the OEB to restrict

conservation spending will stall needed growth in

conservation programs. (Page 39)

Smart Grid

Smart grid is the term used to describe the next

generation of the electricity delivery system.

Fundamental to this initiative is a two-way

communication network that will allow consumers

to more effectively manage their electricity use

and also increase the opportunities for demand

response and distributed renewable energy

generation. If the smart grid is to succeed, the

ECO believes that one organization with a

perspective of the electricity system as a whole

should guide all organizations with grid-related

responsibilities to the common goal of

modernizing the smart grid. The ECO also feels

incentives should be provided to undertake

infrastructure investments that reduce

distribution line loss to overcome the higher

cost of efficient infrastructure and ensure that

appropriate long-term system planning occurs. (Page 43)

Barriers to Alternative Energy

Solar thermal systems, which use solar energy

directly rather than convert it into electricity,

are generally more energy efficient and deliver

greater energy and cost savings than solar

photovoltaic (PV)systems. The provincial

government's cancellation of incentives to

install solar thermal systems for homeowners,

combined with the OPA's enticing microFIT

program, has created a perverse incentive for

homeowners to install solar PV systems over solar

thermal. The ECO believes both types of

technologies have value and both should be encouraged. (Page 53)

Recommendations:

The report makes the following recommendations:

1. The ECO recommends that the Ministry of Energy

clarify how the peak demand and consumption

targets contained in the Long Term Energy Plan

and Conservation and Demand Management Directive are measured.

2. The ECO recommends that the Ministry of Energy

build upon the work completed in the Long-Term

Energy Plan and produce a comprehensive multi-fuel energy plan.

3. The ECO recommends that the Ministries of

Energy, Revenue, and Finance improve the design

of the Ontario Clean Energy Benefit so that any

transitional assistance on electricity bills oes

not act as a disincentive to conservation.

4. The ECO recommends that the Ministry of Energy

initiate the next Conservation and Demand

Management framework, which would include

guaranteed funding, by January 1, 2014.

5. The ECO recommends that the Ministry of Energy

clarify the appropriate roles of the government

and gas utilities in funding natural gas

conservation, with the goal of increasing overall funding.

6. The ECO recommends that the Ontario Energy

Board encourage and facilitate smart grid

investments that reduce line losses, putting

these investments on an equal footing with conservation investments.

7. The ECO recommends that the Ministry of Energy

adjust the relative financial incentives

available for solar thermal and solar

photovoltaic in residential buildings to

appropriately reflect the economic and

environmental benefits of each technology.

Bradford is a city in West Yorkshire, England. It became a municipal borough in 1847, received a city charter in 1897 and, since the 1974 reform, the city status has belonged to the larger City of Bradford metropolitan borough. It had a population of 349,561 at the 2011 census; the second-largest subdivision of the West Yorkshire Built-up Area after Leeds, which is approximately 9 miles (14 km) to the east. The borough had a population of 546,976, making it the 9th most populous district in England.

Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, the city grew in the 19th century as an international centre of textile manufacture, particularly wool. It was a boomtown of the Industrial Revolution, and amongst the earliest industrialised settlements, rapidly becoming the "wool capital of the world"; this in turn gave rise to the nicknames "Woolopolis" and "Wool City". Lying in the eastern foothills of the Pennines, the area's access to supplies of coal, iron ore and soft water facilitated the growth of a manufacturing base, which, as textile manufacture grew, led to an explosion in population and was a stimulus to civic investment. There is a large amount of listed Victorian architecture in the city including the grand Italianate city hall.

From the mid-20th century, deindustrialisation caused the city's textile sector and industrial base to decline and, since then, it has faced similar economic and social challenges to the rest of post-industrial Northern England, including poverty, unemployment and social unrest. It is the third-largest economy within the Yorkshire and the Humber region at around £10 billion, which is mostly provided by financial and manufacturing industries. It is also a tourist destination, the first UNESCO City of Film and it has the National Science and Media Museum, a city park, the Alhambra theatre and Cartwright Hall. The city is the UK City of Culture for 2025 having won the designation on 31 May 2022.

History

The name Bradford is derived from the Old English brad and ford the broad ford which referred to a crossing of the Bradford Beck at Church Bank below the site of Bradford Cathedral, around which a settlement grew in Anglo-Saxon times. It was recorded as "Bradeford" in 1086.

Early history

After an uprising in 1070, during William the Conqueror's Harrying of the North, the manor of Bradford was laid waste, and is described as such in the Domesday Book of 1086. It then became part of the Honour of Pontefract given to Ilbert de Lacy for service to the Conqueror, in whose family the manor remained until 1311. There is evidence of a castle in the time of the Lacys. The manor then passed to the Earl of Lincoln, John of Gaunt, The Crown and, ultimately, private ownership in 1620.

By the middle ages Bradford, had become a small town centred on Kirkgate, Westgate and Ivegate. In 1316 there is mention of a fulling mill, a soke mill where all the manor corn was milled and a market. During the Wars of the Roses the inhabitants sided with House of Lancaster. Edward IV granted the right to hold two annual fairs and from this time the town began to prosper. In the reign of Henry VIII Bradford exceeded Leeds as a manufacturing centre. Bradford grew slowly over the next two-hundred years as the woollen trade gained in prominence.

During the Civil War the town was garrisoned for the Parliamentarians and in 1642 was unsuccessfully attacked by Royalist forces from Leeds. Sir Thomas Fairfax took the command of the garrison and marched to meet the Duke of Newcastle but was defeated. The Parliamentarians retreated to Bradford and the Royalists set up headquarters at Bolling Hall from where the town was besieged leading to its surrender. The Civil War caused a decline in industry but after the accession of William III and Mary II in 1689 prosperity began to return. The launch of manufacturing in the early 18th century marked the start of the town's development while new canal and turnpike road links encouraged trade.

Industrial Revolution

In 1801, Bradford was a rural market town of 6,393 people, where wool spinning and cloth weaving were carried out in local cottages and farms. Bradford was thus not much bigger than nearby Keighley (5,745) and was significantly smaller than Halifax (8,866) and Huddersfield (7,268). This small town acted as a hub for three nearby townships – Manningham, Bowling and Great and Little Horton, which were separated from the town by countryside.

Blast furnaces were established in about 1788 by Hird, Dawson Hardy at Low Moor and iron was worked by the Bowling Iron Company until about 1900. Yorkshire iron was used for shackles, hooks and piston rods for locomotives, colliery cages and other mining appliances where toughness was required. The Low Moor Company also made pig iron and the company employed 1,500 men in 1929. when the municipal borough of Bradford was created in 1847 there were 46 coal mines within its boundaries. Coal output continued to expand, reaching a peak in 1868 when Bradford contributed a quarter of all the coal and iron produced in Yorkshire.

The population of the township in 1841 was 34,560.

In 1825 the wool-combers union called a strike that lasted five-months but workers were forced to return to work through hardship leading to the introduction of machine-combing. This Industrial Revolution led to rapid growth, with wool imported in vast quantities for the manufacture of worsted cloth in which Bradford specialised, and the town soon became known as the wool capital of the world.

A permanent military presence was established in the city with the completion of Bradford Moor Barracks in 1844.

Bradford became a municipal borough in 1847, and a county borough in 1888, making it administratively independent of the West Riding County Council. It was honoured with city status on the occasion of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897, with Kingston upon Hull and Nottingham. The three had been the largest county boroughs outside the London area without city status. The borough's boundaries were extended to absorb Clayton in 1930, and parts of Rawdon, Shipley, Wharfedale and Yeadon urban districts in 1937.

Bradford had ample supplies of locally mined coal to provide the power that the industry needed. Local sandstone was an excellent resource for building the mills, and with a population of 182,000 by 1850, the town grew rapidly as workers were attracted by jobs in the textile mills. A desperate shortage of water in Bradford Dale was a serious limitation on industrial expansion and improvement in urban sanitary conditions. In 1854 Bradford Corporation bought the Bradford Water Company and embarked on a huge engineering programme to bring supplies of soft water from Airedale, Wharfedale and Nidderdale. By 1882 water supply had radically improved. Meanwhile, urban expansion took place along the routes out of the city towards the Hortons and Bowling and the townships had become part of a continuous urban area by the late 19th century.

A major employer was Titus Salt who in 1833 took over the running of his father's woollen business specialising in fabrics combining alpaca, mohair, cotton and silk. By 1850 he had five mills. However, because of the polluted environment and squalid conditions for his workers Salt left Bradford and transferred his business to Salts Mill in Saltaire in 1850, where in 1853 he began to build the workers' village which has become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Henry Ripley was a younger contemporary of Titus Salt. He was managing partner of Edward Ripley & Son Ltd, which owned the Bowling Dye Works. In 1880 the dye works employed over 1000 people and was said to be the biggest dye works in Europe. Like Salt he was a councillor, JP and Bradford MP who was deeply concerned to improve working class housing conditions. He built the industrial Model village of Ripley Ville on a site in Broomfields, East Bowling close to the dye works.

Other major employers were Samuel Lister and his brother who were worsted spinners and manufacturers at Lister's Mill (Manningham Mills). Lister epitomised Victorian enterprise but it has been suggested that his capitalist attitude made trade unions necessary. Unprecedented growth created problems with over 200 factory chimneys continually churning out black, sulphurous smoke, Bradford gained the reputation of being the most polluted town in England. There were frequent outbreaks of cholera and typhoid, and only 30% of children born to textile workers reached the age of fifteen. This extreme level of infant and youth mortality contributed to a life expectancy for Bradford residents of just over eighteen years, which was one of the lowest in the country.

Like many major cities Bradford has been a destination for immigrants. In the 1840s Bradford's population was significantly increased by migrants from Ireland, particularly rural County Mayo and County Sligo, and by 1851 about 10% of the population were born in Ireland, the largest proportion in Yorkshire. Around the middle decades of the 19th century the Irish were concentrated in eight densely settled areas situated near the town centre. One of these was the Bedford Street area of Broomfields, which in 1861 contained 1,162 persons of Irish birth—19% of all Irish born persons in the Borough.

During the 1820s and 1830s, there was immigration from Germany. Many were Jewish merchants and they became active in the life of the town. The Jewish community mostly living in the Manningham area of the town, numbered about 100 families but was influential in the development of Bradford as a major exporter of woollen goods from their textile export houses predominately based in Little Germany and the civic life of Bradford. Charles Semon (1814–1877) was a textile merchant and philanthropist who developed a productive textile export house in the town, he became the first foreign and Jewish mayor of Bradford in 1864. Jacob Behrens (1806–1889) was the first foreign textile merchant to export woollen goods from the town, his company developed into an international multimillion-pound business. Behrens was a philanthropist, he also helped to establish the Bradford chamber of commerce in 1851. Jacob Moser (1839–1922) was a textile merchant who was a partner in the firm Edelstein, Moser and Co, which developed into a successful Bradford textile export house. Moser was a philanthropist, he founded the Bradford Charity Organisation Society and the City Guild of Help. In 1910 Moser became the first Jewish Lord Mayor of Bradford.

Jowett Cars Eight badge

To support the textile mills, a large manufacturing base grew up in the town providing textile machinery, and this led to diversification with different industries thriving side by side. The Jowett Motor Company founded in the early 20th century by Benjamin and William Jowett and Arthur V Lamb, manufactured cars and vans in Bradford for 50 years. The Scott Motorcycle Company was a well known producer of motorcycles and light engines for industry. Founded by Alfred Angas Scott in 1908 as the Scott Engineering Company in Bradford, Scott motorcycles were produced until 1978.

Independent Labour Party

The city played an important part in the early history of the Labour Party. A mural on the back of the Bradford Playhouse in Little Germany commemorates the centenary of the founding of the Independent Labour Party in Bradford in 1893.

Regimental colours

The Bradford Pals were three First World War Pals battalions of Kitchener's Army raised in the city. When the three battalions were taken over by the British Army they were officially named the 16th (1st Bradford), 18th (2nd Bradford), and 20th (Reserve) Battalions, The Prince of Wales's Own (West Yorkshire Regiment).

On the morning of 1 July 1916, the 16th and 18th Battalions left their trenches in Northern France to advance across no man's land. It was the first hour of the first day of the Battle of the Somme. Of the estimated 1,394 men from Bradford and District in the two battalions, 1,060 were either killed or injured during the ill-fated attack on the village of Serre-lès-Puisieux.

Other Bradford Battalions of The Prince of Wales's Own (West Yorkshire Regiment) involved in the Battle of the Somme were the 1st/6th Battalion (the former Bradford Rifle Volunteers), part of the Territorial Force, based at Belle Vue Barracks in Manningham, and the 10th Battalion (another Kitchener battalion). The 1/6th Battalion first saw action in 1915 at the Battle of Aubers Ridge before moving north to the Yser Canal near Ypres. On the first day of the Somme they took heavy casualties while trying to support the 36th (Ulster) Division. The 10th Battalion was involved in the attack on Fricourt, where it suffered the highest casualty rate of any battalion on the Somme on 1 July and perhaps the highest battalion casualty list for a single day during the entire war. Nearly 60% of the battalion's casualties were deaths.

The 1/2nd and 2/2nd West Riding Brigades, Royal Field Artillery (TF), had their headquarters at Valley Parade in Manningham, with batteries at Bradford, Halifax and Heckmondwike. The 1/2nd Brigade crossed to France with the 1/6th Battalion West Yorks in April 1915. These Territorial Force units were to remain close to each other throughout the war, serving in the 49th (West Riding) Division. They were joined in 1917 by the 2/6th Battalion, West Yorks, and 2/2nd West Riding Brigade, RFA, serving in the 62nd (2nd West Riding) Division.

Recent history

Bradford's Telegraph and Argus newspaper was involved in spearheading the news of the 1936 Abdication Crisis, after the Bishop of Bradford publicly expressed doubts about Edward VIII's religious beliefs (see: Telegraph & Argus#1936 Abdication Crisis).

After the Second World War migrants came from Poland and Ukraine and since the 1950s from Bangladesh, India and particularly Pakistan.

The textile industry has been in decline throughout the latter part of the 20th century. A culture of innovation had been fundamental to Bradford's dominance, with new textile technologies being invented in the city; a prime example being the work of Samuel Lister. This innovation culture continues today throughout Bradford's economy, from automotive (Kahn Design) to electronics (Pace Micro Technology). Wm Morrison Supermarkets was founded by William Morrison in 1899, initially as an egg and butter merchant in Rawson Market, operating under the name of Wm Morrison (Provisions) Limited.

The grandest of the mills no longer used for textile production is Lister Mills, the chimney of which can be seen from most places in Bradford. It has become a beacon of regeneration after a £100 million conversion to apartment blocks by property developer Urban Splash.

In 1989, copies of Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses were burnt in the city, and a section of the Muslim community led a campaign against the book. In July 2001, ethnic tensions led to rioting, and a report described Bradford as fragmented and a city of segregated ethnic communities.

The Yorkshire Building Society opened its new headquarters in the city in 1992.

In 2006 Wm Morrison Supermarkets opened its new headquarters in the city, the firm employs more than 5,000 people in Bradford.

In June 2009 Bradford became the world's first UNESCO City of Film and became part of the Creative Cities Network since then.

Senator Beth Bye testifies before the Planning & Development Committee in support of Senate Bill 422 which seeks to prioritize residential consumer water sales during public drinking water supply emergencies, prohibit companies that sell bottled water from receiving water rates less than residential customers, and ensure that sellers who export bottled water out of Connecticut do not pay lower sewer rates than residential customers. THe proposed bill, which Senator Bye is sponsoring, came about when citizens from Bloomfield, West Hartford, Windsor and other Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) towns expressed concern about a deal between the town of Bloomfield and the Niagara Bottling Company that would allow up to 1.8 million gallons per day to be withdrawn from the Farmington River watershed, a water source controlled by the MDC that provides drinking water to 12 towns.

On May 30, 2015, hundreds of protestors marched in Beirut to demand greater protection for victims of family violence.

Protestors gathered in front of the National Museum, and marched towards the Ministry of Justice.

The protest came almost two weeks after the brutal murder of Sarah al-Amine, who was shot 17 times by her husband.

Some things are just more important than others.

“Human and nature should work in harmony, many organisations still look over nature and it should prioritize more. In Thailand, climate action is not trendy enough in society. We must find a right touch point to create a correct mindset, many people still waiting for others to start first before themselves or small action is not enough for society. I want to develop an application to indicate waste management spot location indicator, giving direction for locals to separate right waste in the right place. I believe what is fun will make a good attitude and I want to make climate change fun.”
