We all talk about helping the environment, but seem to leave it to others. We as individuals can make a difference. Look for alternatives when possible and practical

Ok i need to find some answers quick so here goes.
1. How were living organisms able to sustain for 2 years with minimal input from external sources?
2. What were some limitations of Biosphere 2?
3. Why was it not successful?
all these have to do with the Biosphere operation in Tuscan Arizona so who ever can give me a website or something on this would be helpful

Last year the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association predicted 13-16 named storms, 8-10 minor to medium hurricanes, and 5 major hurricanes to make landfall or have a considerable affect on the U.S., obviously this statement was waaay off and as a result every organization that predicts the hurricane season is downsizing their predictions.

I understand that the field of meteorology has merit and is not any sort of pseudoscience, but can climatology really be considered actual science after so many errors in the calculation of data? Even the prediction for when the ozone layer will repair itself is all over the place and continuously changing. Does the fact that most data gathered in the field of climatology is based on simple computer simulations of complex scenarios make anyone skeptic on whether they can be trusted for true and reliable data?

Can we truly predict and simulate a system as complex as the weather and the environment? Consider Chaos theory.

Of course some of you will say computers. However, I mean something more similar to a book or portable device which gives you the experience of a paper (ie your eyes are not squinting to read). Was it a myth or is there something really on the way?

There is got to be a way. I mean scientists only use plant like ingredients and use natural and artificial plant use for it besides the main coarse.

Think about it, only 1% of the entire ecosystem of tthe tropical forest is mostly what they use, they have actullay used the entire planet such as decumposing for instisince.

I think there is got to be a good way to search deepr in the core of rain-forest and tropical forests to with-out destroying the entire ecoysystem of the forests as we know it down there, and let me tell u this...

"There are other ways besides man-made machines to do the job,We got the forests floor and the sky to help us know which way to go without the knowledge or thinking of destroying there whole family that lives there ,plants ,mammals and mircoorganisms."

Icebergs as I believe are large floating blocks of ice. When they melt people and scientists believe that the sea levels will rise but will they? What about water displacement? EG: When I fill a glass with ice and water and wait for the ice cubes to melt, the water level stays the same, so why would this not happen with icebergs?

The reason I ask is that this seems a ridiculous idea to me. On a planet with finite resource, but an ever growing population I can see nothing but cataclism as an outcome and decent back to the stone age eventually. Yet I often hear the phrase "sustainable growth" from various TV pundits, usually financial. What exactly are they talking about?

The forrest of borneo is being cut down to make way for production of palm oil, which is in most the foods we eat (look on the ingredients lables next time in tesco). Does anyone think we should show willing toward whats right and boycott anything with palm oil in? Most palm oil is produced from such areas as borneo, where the cutting down of trees is destroying hundreds of species of plants/trees as well as wildlife and endangering orangitangs.
Oil from these regions is also used in hydrenated fat which is in most mass produced foods this fat is also bad for us so why do we buy it?
Lets not destroy the environments of this great world and our own health, pleese anyone reading this stop buying products with palm oil in and hydrenated fats. It Kills!

Would the Milankovitch cycle account for the changes we are seeing on this planet and are now attributed to global warming caused by mans impact on this planet? What if the warming we are experiencing (and thus elevated sea levels, etc) are all part of a natural cycle that repeats itself every few hundered thousand years? Hans anyone considered this yet and if so why is everyone worrying about it as (a worry for our way of life it may be) no one can really do anything about it even if we did massively redesign our lifestyles and culture?

If I have to grow six plants for my bio project, five are set with variable [salinity of water] and one is the control, what is the range of the amount of salt I should add into 100mL of water?

I know people say that humans are speeding up the rate of temepature increase, but other than ice cores and perhaps carbon dating, who knows how fast the earth warmed up before the last time it was warm. Is it perhaps not just nature that is causing the earth to warm up

If so do the math:
minutes in shower x GPM = total amount of water u use everytime u take a shower....
If u cut u shower time down think about all of the water u would conserve...
For example:
My shower is 2.5 GPM ( is is written on the nozzle) x 15 minute shower = 37.5 gallons of water every shower!
If u dont care about the environment, please dont answer this question.
How much water do u use every shower?
