A Comparative Environmental Analysis of Traditional and Concrete Construction Methods in Urban India: Statistical Insights into Carbon Footprints, Resource Consumption, and Waste Generation
Abstract: Significant effects on the environment and climate change have resulted from India’s shift from traditional building techniques to the growth of concrete jungles. Traditional structures used passive cooling, cross-ventilation, and the thoughtful use of courtyards and open spaces. They were made from natural materials that were sourced locally, such as clay, wood, stone, and thatch. Because they were made to use as little energy as possible, encourage natural temperature regulation, …

Laws of Thermodynamics Challenge Greenhouse-Gas and CLIMATE- change Hypotheses
Abstract: The greenhouse-gas hypothesis (GGH), i.e., CO2 is the cause of global warming by ~1K from ~1950-2023, is popularly believed to be established scientific truth. It is generally assumed that heat emissions from global fuel combustion are, by comparison, negligible. An application of the Hess-Gibbs 1st law of thermodynamics, however, shows that the enthalpy (H) output from yearly fossil fuel consumption is seven times greater than the H- increase of hypothetical …
