Life in a Finely Tuned Cosmos

Publisher: Cambridge University Press

Seller: Cambridge University Press (Books)


Over the last forty years, scientists have uncovered evidence that if the Universe had been forged with even slightly different properties, life as we know it – and life as we can imagine it – would be impossible. Join us on a journey through how we understand the Universe, from its most basic particles and forces, to planets, stars and galaxies, and back through cosmic history to the birth of the cosmos. Conflicting notions about our place in the Universe are defined, defended and critiqued from scientific, philosophical and religious viewpoints. The authors' engaging and witty style addresses what fine-tuning might mean for the future of physics and the search for the ultimate laws of nature. Tackling difficult questions and providing thought-provoking answers, this volumes challenges us to consider our place in the cosmos, regardless of our initial convictions.

New study finds weak RFS will lead to massive emissions spike

Posted 5 December 2013 in

National

A new study out of Argonne National Lab contains some new and interesting data about biofuels and the EPA’s 2014 RVO proposal. Argonne’s scientists found that if the EPA moves forward with their proposed biofuel targets, we will produce over 30 billion tons more of CO2 next year than if the EPA sticks with the targets laid out in the RFS.

The EPA’s pending decision to increase emissions by 30 billion tons of CO2 would be equivalent to putting 6.28 million new cars on the road or increasing our oil consumption by 70 million barrels. This is diametrically opposed to what the EPA says its goals are and to what is good for America.

It’s sad to see the EPA and the Obama Administration kowtowing to Big Oil, but it’s not too late. They have not yet finalized the proposal, so there is still time for the EPA to do the right thing for the environment. Add your voice to the fight by sending a letter to the Administration.
