<h1>The Science Behind Global Warming— And the Biofriendly Solution</h1> <p align=right>by Jim D'Arezzo</p> <div align=justify>While various ramifications and aspects remain in debate, the basic facts of climatic change have been established as a firm reality for some time. In 2005, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences along with 10 other National Academies of Science from around the world issued a <a href="http://www.environmentaldefense.org/home.cfm">joint statement</a> that "the scientific understanding of climate change is now sufficiently clear to justify nations taking prompt action." The report cites the burning of fossil fuels as a major emission source--and <a href="http://www.biofriendly.com/">Biofriendly Corporation's</a> Green Plus liquid fuel catalyst can be a major answer. "As acknowledged by the U.S. National Academy of Science, carbon emissions are a primal cause of climactic change," said Robert W. Carroll, Chairman and CEO of Biofriendly Corporation. "Green Plus® liquid fuel catalyst greatly assists government agencies and private organizations alike in putting an end to this global problem." A large percentage of carbon emissions come from automobiles, trucks and ships, and the basic cause has been the utilization of fossil fuels. For over 100 years, scientists have puzzled over the fact that light-duty engines only convert about 30% of the fuel they burn into mechanical energy, and heavy-duty engines are only a little better at 40%. A significant percentage of remaining emissions from the fuel is released as environmentally-harmful waste. At the root of the problem is the fact that hydrocarbon molecules within the fuel form into clusters and bundles that prohibit oxygen from reaching all of the fuel to permit complete combustion. <a href="http://www.biofriendly.com/about_green_plus.htm">Green Plus</a> mixes fully into gasoline, diesel or other hydrocarbon-based fuel and substantially increases the amount of energy produced from burned fuel. Green Plus slightly "unbundles" the hydrocarbon clusters that make up fuels so that these molecules are more fully exposed to oxygen, greatly increasing the efficiency of fuel burned. The results are improved fuel economy, more power, a more linear burn which helps to eliminate hot spots, and significantly reduced emissions. In fact, Biofriendly Corporation's Green Plus was found, in testing conducted at California Environmental Engineering (CEE), to reduce hydrocarbon emissions in light-duty vehicles by as much as 45.2%. Additional independent and certified testing has also proven that Green Plus substantially reduces emissions in heavy-duty vehicles and marine vessels.</div> <p align=center>Article source: <a href="http://www.ArticlePros.com/Science-Technology/Biotechnology/article-80496.html">ArticlePros.com</a></p> <table align=center width=550 cellspacing=1 bgcolor=silver cellpadding=5> <tr bgcolor=antiquewhite> <td> <p align=center><b>About the author</b></p> <p align=justify>Jim D’Arezzo is Senior Vice-President of Marketing for Biofriendly Corporation.
