But if we fall from a very high place, we'd break legs and probably die too....how come ants dont eventhough they've been dropped from twice as high a place than us?

Is it that the penguins living there have started to perfume themselves? Who uses CFCs there? Are there cars there to release polluting gases?

I've seen it claimed that a single flight by a commercial aircraft creates as much carbon dioxide as driving a car for 3 months. But the 'plane might carry 200 people for 1000 miles. Most family cars never even achieve 200,000 passenger-miles, so that means that per passenger-mile the 'plane is far more carbon efficient than a car.

Add to that the fact that aircraft produce vapour trails which encourage the creation of clouds. These clouds in turn reflect heat back into space. Did you know that the day after 9/11 the temperature over the US rose by 1 degree C due to the lack of vapour trails!. So are aircraft as bad for the environment as is currently being claimed?

A previous question on planting trees to offset my carbon useage has thrown up the issue that trees themselves are carbon neutral, ie they absorb the same amount as they produce, therefore planting more would have little effect. Is this true?

ok before summer me and one of my friends found out that our school does not recycle white paper..they only recycle news paper but we use a lot lot lot of white paper which goes in the trash instead of being recycled. i called the recycle company and found out that they would gladely take the white paper with the news paper as long as we put it out with the news paper. the ESC kids do the news paper and the teacher said she might be able to help us. we have about 135 rooms excluding bathrooms,generator closets and store rooms. i need to raise enough money to buy bins for the paper and flyers for students and teachers. Also i need people to help me and i dont know how to recruit people. HELP PLZ. i think i have a sponser because before summer my environmental science teacher said that she would be happy to help us but our school unfortuantly does not give clubs start up money they have to get it them self's by fund raisers and all but right now i am only one person and cant do it. alone

Like, if we wanted to cheat death, or create illusions, have things go against the laws of nature. All for serious reasons, and for fun (aka entertainment). Any idea how it could be done?

Theres no doubting it now.... Major global dimming has been shading us up from major global warming. Both are contributors to our world's doom. This question is not for you skeptics out there because this has already been proven as a fact now. It seems without our pollution we would face catastrophic heat and yet pollution has always been detrimental to our health. So getting rid of pollution would have to be dealt with extremely carefully now, but I can't see any way out of it, can you? Getting rid of pollution= extreme heat, keeping pollution= killing natural enviroment and lung disease. Help us, God!

Some time ago a saw only the final moments of an item on tv about an invention in development. It's a sun disk that fits on the back of a jeep. Sunlight is supposed to be lead from the disk to a chamber were water is broken down in hydrogen en oxygen in the "sun chamber". The problem is they couldn't find the right material for this chamber because it gets about 2300 degr C. in the process. Unfortunately I don't have the solution, but still I like to know more about it. I've been looking all over the web, but I just can’t find anything. Maybe someone over here knows where I can find more info on this?

Any recommendations as to how to be more carbon neutral? I've noticed a few schemes to offset your useage by paying into re-forestation projects - are they as efficient/trustworthy as they seem?

I was in the bathroom about to wash my face and I guess a spider got into my washcloth and as i touched the washcloth to my face it jumped out into the sink and I jumped like a little girl and banged my knee. It's just a spider but there are deadly varieties out there (I doubt this was one of them). What makes people so afraid of them? Why do people find them so disgusting? In what way do they help the ecosystem?

For bilions of years the earth has produced a way to use the CO2 in the air with Photosynthesis.
Could it be possible to build in lab something working like Photosynthesis ... using the Photosynthesis results (no energy from the environment other that CO2) to absorb the excess of CO2 that is actually causing atmospheric disasters?
