Global News and Analysis

August 1, 2010 - Cooling system fault hits International Space Station

Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk

Analysis: High altitude research craft require insulation systems that can work simultaneously in hot and cold exposures. World War II originated products cannot do justice for astronauts if Environmental Control Systems fail. Mega-Temp™ Insulation was created to handle such exposures with ease.

July 22, 2010 - Germans hot and bothered by sizzling trains

Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk

Analysis: Reducing the sun's radiative load into the rail car must take precedence over attempting, by the use of air conditioning, to mitigate its thermal effects afterward. Air conditioning systems typically are too slow to react in quickly reducing an increasing thermal radiant gradient that cars experience in the summer months; such systems should be used in a secondary role, not a primary. An insulation, as Mega-Temp™, would act as a shield to the radiative heat flux experienced in the rail cars from the summer sun. As such, its "Cocoon of Protection™" would work and this would allow air conditioning systems on board the trains to perform reasonable tasks. At less than ten [10] grams per square foot, Mega-Temp™ Insulation would save a rail car weight [by using a smaller air conditioning system].

July 18, 2010 - Antarctic cold snap kills nine in Argentina

Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk

Analysis: Drastic cold weather conditions, which may be anticipated to be even more severe in future years, necessitate that buildings be shielded with severe cold-proven insulation that can protect the aforementioned structures. These conditions make living therein uncomfortable and accelerate deterioration of plumbing, heating, and electrical services [to the financial detriment of the building owner].

July 14, 2010 - Merkel seeks broader economic ties in Siberia

Source: http://en.rian.ru

Analysis: Trains traveling through Siberia will be needed to be thoroughly insulated with a thermal shield against the severe cold; "cosmetic insulations" will not suffice. A train that may break down during a snow storm could cause irreparable damage to the travelers therein.

Mega-Temp™ Insulation would provide a "Cocoon of Protection"™ for thermal as well as acoustic control in each rail car. Since it can be installed in a car, throughout in one day, labor cost savings are to be enjoyed by the manufacturer. Because it was designed to perform in extreme cold applications, the railway as well as its customers benefit immensely.

July 9, 2010 - Scientists say heat waves will be common in the future in U.S.

Source: http://news.xinhuanet.com

Analysis: Increasing summer temperatures necessitate functional insulation on buildings and residences that will shield them from such environments. Ceilings, floors, walls, roofs, piping, et al, will benefit greatly thereby making comfortable conditions for occupants.

April 28, 2010 - Back to Ice Age

Source: http://www.koreatimes.co.kr

Analysis: Changing weather conditions, which are having the effect of prolonging cold temperatures, necessitate properly insulating building with products designed for extreme cold; so, supplemental heating provided by employees working therein is not necessary.

April 27, 2010 - Boeing Suspends Delivery of New 787 Sections to Everett

Analysis: New or used aircraft of all sizes may easily trim their weight by substituting existing insulation with FAA Approved Mega-Temp™ Insulation for permanent fuel savings.

April 19, 2010 - East Asia Needs $80 Billion for Energy Shift

Source: http://www.thanhniennews.com

Analysis: Countries can, by using Mega-Temp™ Insulation on buildings, residences, refineries, pipelines, etc., reduce their dependencies on fossil fuels.

April 14, 2010 - Snowstorm Hits NE China

Source: http://www.chinadaily.com.cn

Analysis: Late season severe snowstorms necessitate use of effective building and residence insulation designed for cold temperatures.

March 29, 2010 - Appeal for Mongolian Herders After Cold Kills Livestock

Source: http://news.bbc.co.uk

Analysis: Mongolians need to build one and one half meter high feeding barns for sheep. They can be made from a steel frame matrix and galvanized steel sheets coated with Mega-Temp™ Insulation. The warmth provided by this insulation will keep the food readily available for the animals to eat. If the sheepherders want to move to another location, they can readily disassemble the barns and reassemble them elsewhere.

February 25, 2010 - Scientists Examine Causes for Lull in Warming

Source: http://www.reuters.com

Analysis: The possibility of even colder winters of longer duration necessitate that everyone consider insulating all areas of their homes and buildings with functional products that are designed for extreme cold.

February 6, 2010 - US Residents Blighted by Blizzard

Source: http://www.vietnamnews.net

Analysis: All homes and buildings shielded with Mega-Temp™ Insulation would remain at approximately 18.5 degrees C [65 degrees F] in this, or other storms. Electrical power would only be needed for illumination.

January 27, 2010 - Science Chief John Beddington Calls for Honesty on Climate Change

Source: http://www.timesonline.co.uk

Analysis: Scientists should not let the fear of scrutiny make them reluctant to discuss divergent viewpoints. Such interfaces may lead to the technical truth.

January 26, 2010 - Most Snow in 20 Years in Lower Austria

Source: http://www.austriantimes.at

Analysis: The continued extreme cold weather can cause water pipes to burst. Those pipes shielded with Mega-Temp™ Insulation will not have water inside them freeze thus helping to prevent such negative occurences.

January 25, 2010 - China has 'Open Mind' on Cause of Climate Change

Source: http://www.newsvote.bbc.co.uk

Analysis: Natural, as well as manmade processes, may both be the causes of climate change. Further study is required in order to properly understand, and deal with this possible conjunction.

January 16, 2010 - World Misled Over Himalayan Glacier Meltdown

Source: http://www.timesonline.co.uk

Analysis: Cooling conditions require evidentiary data which are refutable to be valid; so does Global Warming of the environment. Mere hearsay will not suffice.

January 11, 2010 - Putin Urges Prompt Elimination of Energy Failures

Source: http://www.itar-tass.com

Analysis: Mr. Putin of Russia understands the reality facing many countries with the weather changes. Mega-Temp™ Insulation can be installed on almost any surface and works continually to stop the transmission of heat to the cold environment.

January 10, 2010 - The Mini Ice Age Starts Here.
