Environment - November 2006

Two of the world's largest bodies of fresh water - the Aral Sea, in southern Russia, and Lake Chad, in north-central Africa - are drying up, and what's left of them is pretty well polluted. Some scientists believe that they are beyond saving. Why should this matter to Americans?

I heard this on a radio show, forgot which, but it said that the hole in the ozone layer is gone. Is this true or not?

yes we know it saves petrol cleverly with batteries and generators but taking into account the resources and carbon emissions from making the batteries is it really worth it?

I've tried this several times in the political and science sections and gotten no answer that wasn't opinion. I am looking for real information, not urban legend or personal speculation. If there is real information out there why can't anyone provide it. I can understand that natural phenonom can be a contributing factor, but the effects such as glaciers and ice melting at a record pace in synch with record man-made pollution cannot be brushed off. If you have refuting evidence show it.

If climate change is resulting in deaths from sever weather, droughts etc, by driving a car somehow we might be contributing to someone's death somewhere. A moped hardly burns any petro, but is more dangerous to ride. Is there a trade off?

A recent study has said that in 43 years, there will be NO seafood.
Fish will probably become even more expensive in the future.


I absolutely love fish, but the thought of it being extinct is horrible.

do any of you guys know of any scientists or sites showing any evidence global warming is not caused by human activity. I am convinced it is, but I'm having difficulty with people citing "evidence" that it is completely natural or that somehow the earth will overcome this problem on its own. You can rant on either side of this if you want, but I am looking for real evidence.

I would like to know how to store rain water and keep it fresh for human consumption, in case of an emergency where fresh water is not acquirable, the water will be collected in 2 gallon buckets out in the open (not collected from a roof or gutter) and may be held for a number of days. What methods can I use to assure that the water is safe to drink later on?
