Climate change and the importance of the refrigeration

Climate change, greenhouse effect and global warming - in the 21
Century there is hardly a topic that is discussed as ubiquitous and
"hot". Convinced skeptics of human-induced climate change refer to
epochs of geological history, in which the Earth is heated strongly,
even without our help or cooled. Also they see a future climate change
due mainly of course, among other things, by a modified elliptical
orbit like the Earth around the sun. Climate scientists argue that it
is today but also a significant human contribution to greenhouse gases
in the atmosphere, which will provide added that the earth is warming
up to the end of this century by a few degrees Celsius. The reason for
this is especially the industrial and technological development over
the past 150 years. Climate change and CO2 emissions, however, were
not initially known. They moved only gradually, increasingly from the
1960s into the public consciousness.

Corn harvest comes into its own hall

Münster-Sprakel - The 18th July 2010, will not forget Sprakel Schulze family. That night, when the machine hall and the large barns were ablaze. A nightmare. 41 pigs died in the fire, 120 could be saved. 80 firefighters were on duty, prevented a massive fire-fighting the spread of flames to other buildings. Cause of the fire was a technical defect. Now, one year later, Stefan Schulze Sprakel before the new hall and have the assurance that he, at least this time the corn harvest, which begins about four weeks can store itself.

It was not possible last year. He had to sell his grain to the country store and buy ready-made food for the pigs. "There is a lot of work and a lot of work behind us," he flatly states. Last year he was "often went to the limit." In the difficult situation he was advised by his insurance agent Paul Everding and felt well supported

The new building, planned largely by the Office Witech, was created at the exact spot where stood the old hall. 2000 tons of recycled gravel have now been processed, 630 cubic meters of concrete, 48 tons of structural steel and several truckloads of wood. "Like many, I really do not know," he says. The trusses hall measures 25 by 40 meters high and is 11.50 meters, the ridge height. There is a reason: "We need a reasonable sound insulation to the highway," says Stefan Schulze Sprakel. Nevertheless, there are standard dimensions, that is a "Hall of the rack," so it does not already become too expensive.

To harvest the hall was not finished, the decisions about the plans, as it should have, taken. That was no problem this time: Stefan Schulze Sprakel has stored his corn to 90 percent at Raiffeisen Bever-Ems and receives back an equivalent, if it is needed. When he from the main house looks over to the new hall, the relief is to look at him: He knows that a new era has begun and a difficult phase is managed.
