Gasoline prices in the U.S. have jumped .50C a gallon, to an average $3.65 cents a gallon this year,and in much of the country its tough to fill up even a small car for less than $50.00 . This increase has pushed the issue to the front of the Political debate, but how much do gas prices really affect a $15 Trillion economy? The Short answer:  Quite a bit, thought probably less thatn we imagine

Thats because buying gas is unlike any other purchase. its sold only in Stores ( Gas Stations ) who primary purpose is selling gasoline, Even when gas is cheap, we're well aware of the cost because we see the pennies spinning by on the pump, These days they are spinning Faster and faster, 

Gas prices , could possibly average over $4 a gallon Nationwide , Hawaii is already over that mark and are $5 a gallon on the outer islands... In other Countries its much much higher $7 to $10 a gallon 

How will this affect the US Economy???

Credit Suisse  estimates that each 1cent uptick in a gallon of gas redirects $1 Billion of consumer spending away from other goods over the course of the year.  Retail Sales in 2012 totalled $4.8 Trillion;

so a .50 cent jump would siphon away more then 1 percent of those dollars- $50 Billion- that might otherwise have gone to Wal-Mart Stores, Gap or McDonalds. Still " we have to go well above the $4-a-gallon threshold before you really start to feel the pain

Those who have little choice but to get behind the wheel are already hurting. Most Americans Drive to work or the supermarket, and few have any reasonable alternative, Its really hard to adjust how much we dive. and the poorest Americans, for whom gas makes up a far larger share of the household budget, will be hardest hit.

The ranks of home-based entrepreneurs are growing at a fast clip -- and so are their businesses. Why the new American Dream might just start in your living room. for more information how to join the Fuel Savings Revolution and work from home click here

There has been a huge attitudinal shift in the way that home-based businesses are viewed now," says Steve King, a partner at Emergent Research, which is a home-based business itself. "It wasn't that long ago that if you said you worked from home, it meant that you were unemployed." But now home operations have reached the "legitimacy tipping point" -- in part because the Web and other technology allows people to work from anywhere -- and instead of entrepreneurs trying to hide their kitchen-table status, many shout it from the rooftops. King says this shift is largely due to the fact that bigger corporations are increasingly using home-based businesses as vendors, "so not only is there legitimacy in the eyes of the customers, but also from the larger business community as well."

One of the most significant findings from the study is the home-based business owner's role in job creation. While typically thought of as sole proprietors, the research shows that half of all home-based business owners have an employee in addition to themselves, many of whom also work from home -- accounting for more than 13 million jobs nationwide. These findings were compared to numbers from the National Venture Capital Association, which reported that companies that receive or have received venture money at one time, including giants such as Microsoft and Apple, employ approximately 12.1 million Americans.

Michelle Tunno Buelow who designs and distributes a line of children's accessories called Bella Tunno, oversees a team of more than 50 part-time or contractual employees, including her distributors and marketing people, from her home in Charlotte, North Carolina. Like many home-based business owners, Tunno Buelow's company grew out of a hobby -- designing funky accessories like reversible bibs with geometric patterns for her newborn daughter. But once people started taking notice of her designs, she expanded her product line and began branching out to retailers. Tunno Buelow's big break came shortly after starting up, when a Beverly Hills baby retailer asked if she wanted to provide Bella Tunno's products for the gift bags that were being given out to expectant celebrity moms at the Golden Globes.

That initial celebrity buzz led to partnerships with Gap and Nordstrom, which are Bella Tunno's two biggest retail accounts today. But even with consistent revenue growth of 140 percent each year and sales over $1 million, Tunno Buelow has always identified as a home-based business owner. Her desk is set up in one corner of her children's playroom, where she conducts business with toys strewn about. "Most of the time, it goes really well, working from home," she says. "I only work with and hire people that believe in our philosophy, and a lot of times I'm working at 11 p.m. because I chose to take my kids to the park that day." Tunno Buelow, who was one of Ernst and Young's 2009 Winning Women honorees for most promising business, represents a growing contingent of proud home-based business owners, who are proving that running a substantial business can be done from virtually anywhere -- and in many cases, offers a better lifestyle.

According to the Network Solutions study, home-based business owners are also generating significant revenue. Thirty-five percent bring in more than $125,000, and 8 percent are making more than $500,000, the report found.

Increasingly home-based businesses are being looked at as a competitive force, and some, like Anchorage, Alaska-based LeadDog Consulting, even have a niche market captured. In the cartography industry, there are only a handful of companies that are responsible for producing the majority of the digital maps in use around the world, and one of them is LeadDog, founded in 2000 by Jim Anderson. The company's operations are extensive, having digitally mapped much of Iraq and Afghanistan for the U.S. military, but what's surprising and different about LeadDog is that those maps are created right from Anderson's home. Using specialized software, an Internet connection, and data from satellites, Anderson says he is able to map the tiniest details on streets that are thousands of miles away from him home base. Like many entrepreneurs, he acquired most of his skills working for another major mapping company for seven years before venturing out on his own.

"One of the things I realized early on when I started LeadDog, at the height of the Internet boom, was that everyone was doing business through e-mail and it didn't really matter where you were," says Anderson, who grew up in New Hampshire but fell in love with the idea of living in Alaska after visiting a friend there. "I didn't have to have a brick-and-mortar site or a commercial presence somewhere to establish my business. Especially being in a niche market, as long as I could take a phone call with someone in Turkey, it didn't matter where I was." Anderson, who has four employees, says being located in Anchorage, which is considered a somewhat central location to the rest of the world, is actually advantageous because the time zone allows him to conduct business at pretty normal hours.

LeadDog has produced maps for more than 100 countries and focuses primarily on mapping developing countries where infrastructure knowledge is often lacking. In addition to the U.S. government and military, LeadDog works extensively with GPS tracking companies as well as other private companies on projects like location scouting.

Being home-based has never been an issue for clients that LeadDog works with, Anderson says, and much like millions of his counterparts, this kind of flexible work style -- in which the line between home and office is quickly diminishing -- helps keep him a more productive business owner. Not to mention a happier one. After all, not many can say they take walks in a nearby state park at lunchtime, or watch schools of salmon swim by in a stream near their offices. "It's not your typical company break," Anderson says, "but it works for us."

Everyone Can Reduce Emissions by 33% and Help Stop the Greenhouse Effect and Save $$$ on Fuel

Earth is warming fast. There are estimates that in the period between 1900 to 2005 the temperature on our planet has increased in average between 0.4 i 0.8 °C. 22 warmest years ever were recorded in the interval between 1980 and 2005, and 2005 was the warmest year ever recorded. Current estimates predict average increase in temperature till the year 2100 to be between 1.4 °C i 5.8 °C (2.5 °F i 10.4 °F) if greenhouse gas emissions continue their current trend. Global warming and global cooling (ice age) have already happened in far past as the consequence of natural influences and were always long-term phenomenon. For instance last ice age has started about 70.000 years BC, had its maximum around 18,000 years BC, and ended around 10000 BC. According to the definition, the global warming is the increase of the average temperature on surface of the Earth. This term is today mostly used as the reference to increase of the average earth's temperature that is happening, and is likely to happen even further because of human activities. CAUSES OF GLOBAL WARMING   Detailed greenhouse effect description. Click to enlarge. The main cause of global warming is increased level of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that are released into the atmosphere mostly due to the fossil fuels burning (coal, oil, and natural gas) and deforestation for agriculture. Greenhouse gases are stored into higher atmospheric levels where they have double effect on Earth's temperature surface. The first effect is direct reflection of one part of the Sun's radiation back into space, and the other is reflecting one part of Sun's radiation that has deflected from the surface of the Earth back to the Earth (see the image). This second effect is called the greenhouse effect and it is responsible for maintaining the adequate temperatures on our planet. If there would be no greenhouse effect then average temperature on our planet would be around -19 °C, and not around today's 15 °C. To put it as simply as possible the solution to global warming problem is quite simple, we need to reduce the fossil fuels use and reduce the deforestation to lowest possible level. By doing that we would decrease the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere but this solution is currently not possible because alternative energy sector is still not developed enough to compete with fossil fuels. The biggest cause of global warming is using fossil fuels (mostly coal and oil). However reducing the amount of fossil fuels used today is very difficult because economy keeps growing and has no time to wait for alternative energy sources that have only just started developing, and are therefore in most cases significantly more expensive compared to fossil fuels. The world’s biggest polluter is United States, followed by China and Russia. Traditional U.S. dependence on fossil fuels has created very strong lobbies that do everything that is in their power to slow the development of alternative energy sources, and China’s recent economic boom mostly oriented on coal industry has played huge part in China’s high emission ranking. Second cause of global warming is destruction of forests, particularly rainforests. Forests because of photosynthesis process play the extremely important role in maintaining the normal greenhouse gas levels. Plant in the photosynthesis process take CO2 from the atmosphere, and release oxygen back into the atmosphere, and with it influence the total amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. From the other point of view burning forests has double negative effect: burning releases the large amounts of CO2 and less are covered with forests also means lesser ability to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere. Because world’s population is constantly increasing more food is needs, and forests are therefore being cleared to make room for agriculture and cattle. This is the main reason why the largest forest in the world, the Amazon rainforest called also the “lungs of the world”, suffers from huge deforestation. THE CONSEQUENCES OF GLOBAL WARMING Some of the possible global warming consequences are: Sea level rise because of glaciers melting that could under some estimates be as high as 18-59 cm by the end of the 21th century frequent extreme weather events (powerful storms, heat waves, floods, hurricanes) increase in the severity of extreme weather event (deadliest storms and floods, longer heat waves) melting of the glaciers will cause flooding on short-term and water shortage on the long-term the warmer environment is likely to spread new diseases and cause different health issues The estimated consequences of global warming are not always negative. Global warming leads to climate change and this will have positive effects in some regions while other regions will feel the negative consequences of global warming. Scientists currently cannot predict what exactly will happen and what will be the reach of global warming phenomenon. Therefore it is not possible to evaluate whether global warming will have more positive or more negative impact. However, scientists warn that the insecurity of the forecast alone is the best possible reason to act in advance, and decrease as much as possible the consequences of global warming. Since global warming is likely to hit some areas more than other many believe that global warming is likely to cause big population migration. POSSIBLE SPEED-UP OF GLOBAL WARMING Small lakes that are becoming frequent sights at many glaciers can have extremely negative impact in form of rapid glaciers melting. This picture shows small lakes that were created at Greenland. According to some indicators and certain estimates global warming will increase the intensity of factors that influence the global warming and with it further accelerate warming of the planet. Factors that are accelerating global warming are also creating positive feedback among themselves. Some of these factors will be mentioned in further text. 11,000 years ago in Siberia a giant layer of ice was created that covered swamp vegetation therefore capturing large quantities of methane. Melting of this ice in the next few decades will release large quantities of CO2 into the atmosphere, and methane is extremely potent greenhouse. One kg of methane has the same greenhouse effect as 25 kg of carbon dioxide. According to some estimates global warming could cause loss of carbon in surface ecosystems and increase the amount of carbon in atmosphere. All climate prediction models agree that this secondary effect is very much possible but what they do not agree is the level of influence this effect will have. Estimates usually predict temperature rise from 0.1 °C to 1.5 °C by the end of this century. The third big factor of additional increase of average Earth’s temperature is big forest fires. These fires release huge quantities of carbon dioxide, and this also leaves fewer forests to absorb carbon dioxide so instead of being absorbed it remains in the atmosphere. As the temperatures will increase so will the probability of huge forest fires, and this another example of positive global warming feedback. Another factor that will contribute to speeding up the global warming is the difference in reflected/absorbed amount of Sun’s energy, and this factor could cause big problems in sea level rise. The different forms of surfaces have different coefficients of reflecting/absorbing Sun’s radiation. Here are some examples of reflecting the isolation that comes to the Earth’s surface: fresh snow can reflect up to 95% of radiation ice reflects up to 90% of radiation dry sands reflect between 35% to 40% of radiation broadleaf deciduous forest reflect 5-10% of radiation needleleaf coniferous forest reflects 10-20% of radiation grasslands and similar surfaces reflect 15-20% of radiation sea surface reflects about 10% of radiation cloud reflectivity can be from 40% all the way to 90% the average reflectivity between atmosphere and Earth’s surface is around 30% The icy surface reflects back into space up to 90% of sun’s radiation, and therefore indirectly cools the Earth, while water from the other side absorbs more than 90% of radiation, and therefore increases the sea temperatures. Increased sea temperature that surrounds glaciers causes even faster melting of the ice, reducing the areas covered with ice as the sea absorbs more and more of the Sun’s radiation, heating up in the process. The warmer seas that surround the glaciers is the obvious problem of reduction in surface’s reflectivity but scientists still believe that this is not the worst problem that results from this but that the worst problem is the increased number of small lakes that appear on the surface of the glaciers. These lakes create additional heat with its absorbing of Sun’s radiation, and this heat does not only further melt the glaciers but also disrupts the structure of the glaciers since water creates tunnels under which it can come to land that is below the glaciers, and there further create lakes and channels. These processes have already taken place at Greenland and Antarctic. CONCLUSION Moderate climate usually equals to higher. For how long this rule will apply depend mostly on people. Global warming is already today having some effect on climate and weather conditions on our planet. According to reports from World Meteorological organization the increase in temperature is mainly to blame for increased number of floods and droughts. High temperatures make drought season last longer in Africa, the crops are therefore reduced and this causes the problems in form of food and water shortages. Europe, North America, and some parts of the Asia are blessed with moderate climate, and therefore have advantage compared to the rest of the world because climate change won’t so soon affect these areas- first certain transformation phases will have to happen in order for climate to transform from moderate to let’s say tropical or desert climate. The areas like Sub-Saharan Africa will have much bigger problems because life is even today very harsh in these areas, and with global warming it will be even worse, perhaps it will even eventually disappear. There are two main principles on how to act to prevent climate changes: prevention and adaptation. Since prevention of climate change is extremely expensive process where people should completely change their opinion about energy and energy consumption we will probably have to adapt to new climate conditions. We can only hope that this new climate conditions will be good enough to ensure humanity and normal way of life on our planet.
