Environment - November 2006

What are the white thick strings of webs that fly though the air and stick to fences, cars, trees, etc. This happens every fall in the California Central Valley (Patterson, CA). It starts every year during the first winds of fall before the first storm. I've been told that they are webs that have blown out of barns or trees and travel many miles. That makes no sense to me.

The amount of sunlight at the poles is very low angle and only lasts about 3-4 months of the year, so the average ambient temperature is very low (today the still air was well below zero F). The ocean currents are warmer than usual - we know that - and warm moves toward cold - we also know that. But the water is warmer at the 200-900 foot level and would have to be significantly warmer than 32 degrees F to melt much sea ice. Given all of this, does the popular premise that Global Warming is melting the polar ice caps and polar sea ice make any sense? The air and water temperature would have to be warm enough to compensate for the resulting cold caused by the low angle and duration of daylight. I haven't heard anything scientific to support this but could it be, given the proximity to known active volcanoes, that geothermal activity is causing the polar melting? It would make far more semse.

Or the coffins are placed over one another, especially in the countries which don't have much land or space?

If it is imperative to bury each and everyone at a different place, will not there be scarcity of place in the countries where there is great population?

I recycle Plastic Bottles, Glass, Metal, Tin Cans, Paper and Compost my veg waste. This is not because I'm enviromentally concious but because we have to pay for refuse collection by size and weight. I live in Switzerland, it took an old git like me 3 years for it to become second nature. Why dosen't England follow suit. Also any shop selling electrical appliances have to take back old appliances even if not sold by them. C'mon England stop dumping it all in one bag. Oh yeah note no spell check in this section so, if you see an error Piss Off.
