Little things: A tiny bird, a warbler, flying high over the Atlantic, heading toward Africa on its way to South America. At some 20,000 feet it picks up a prevailing wind that turns it toward South America. Directed by its migrating instinct, it follows its course for several days and 2,400 miles—three quarters of an ounce of courage wrapped in feathers. What a fascinateing bird I have never seen one, does anyone know what they look like?

Do you know the chances of things like this just happening?
god didn't just throw this planet out there he took great care to make it beautiful and fascinating.

Ingenious things: Bats that use sonar. Eels that make electricity. Gulls that desalt seawater. Wasps that make paper. Termites that install air conditioners. Octopuses that travel by jet propulsion. Birds that do weaving or build apartment houses. Ants that do gardening or sewing, or keep livestock. Fireflies with built-in flashlights. We marvel at such ingenuity. then we say it just happened by accident?

It has been on the news often the past few days as ANOTHER report was documented regarding Global Warming and its effect. Al Gore took a big step towards saving planet Earth and now more and more individuals like David Suzuki is speaking out against Global Warming (although he has been delivering this message for quite some time already).

What's your take on Global Warming?

Presumably we are just going through a warming phase (albeit at an unprecedented fast rate) but how warm do you think the planet will go?

And can human induced global warming really affect how hot the planet will go, or is it just affecting the rate/ how quickly we are going to this new warm phase?

As we all know, photosynthesis from plants removes harmful carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and therefore planting trees should hopefully help combat climate change.
But when the trees die and rot, won't all this carbon be released back again?

Okay just to point out I am highly against deforestation. But I have to write an essay on reasons why building a school over a forest is a good idea and too be honest I can't think of any so far. Please can someone help me out! Thanks

In a British opinion poll conducted by Ipsos Mori this September, global warming was ranked "the most serious threat to the future wellbeing of the world", beating terrorism and war by almost two to one.
Quoted from today's Guardian

Are there any signs of hope that we can turn it around?

I live in the UK. I am really worried about our environment and how we can save it. America is one of the countries in the world where a huge amount of waste is made and its having an effect on the atmosphere and our lands. In the UK, the American government are villified for not doing enough but is this the UK media attempting to make the UK look as though they are doing more that our fellows across the pond or is there raeally a lack of effort?
