Why You Should Get Involved with Jatropha Biodiesel?

Recently, a team of independent scientists and researchers, in collaboration with the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), released a new report entitled: Climate Change in the U.S. Northeast, which details the effects that heat-trapping emissions will have if they are not curtailed. Using new state-of-the-art research on recent and projected changes in the Northeast’s regional climate, this study finds that without action on our part, by the end of the century:

  • Northeast winters could warm by eight to 12 degrees Fahrenheit and summers by six to nearly 14 degrees.
  • The length of the region’s winter snow season could be cut in half.
  • The frequency of short-term droughts could increase significantly.
  • Sea-level could rise from eight inches to as much three feet.
  • Many Northeast cities can expect about 25 days per year over 100 degrees. (Currently, Northeast cities experience this type of heat only once or twice a year.)

This is one of many studies calling for change. By investing in Jatropha, you and anyone you know can take immediate effective action that will not only help in the fight against Global Warming but also aid in your own financial planning.
