Im trying to finish a 20 chalet with additional 20 room eco resort in New Zealand, 100% off grid.
Its highly elevated, with massive coastal & ocean views from a safe distance away. Its surrounded by native rainforest and full of ferns and birds. A spring fed river that runs continually runs through it. It generates its own power through multiple methods, purifies fresh water in and waste out, has seedbank, full garden/orchard & working micro farm, food storage, winery, oil press, sat-comms, library & complete medico station. Its also fully defendable and secure.
My idea was to complete it, open for business as a top end getaway, then sell individual chalets to carefully vetted buyers, chosen for skills and attitude. However Im running out of funds fast. Is there a market for eco timeshares of this nature in a country like NZ in todays current global climate?
Do I try and sell 10 chalets to ten people on spec? Or am I better to find a single investor wanting 49%-50% of the venture?

I can't believe so many of you think global warming is a myth concocted by liberals. Either you are not aware of the melting of glaciers and polar ice caps, or you are wearing blinders. Which is it? [ < THE QUESTION] What is debatable is the extent to which human activity is contributing to global warming. Certainly natural forces and climatic cycles are at work, but it would be moronic to conclude that the burning of 80 million barrels of oil plus 20 million tons of coal per day has no effect on the atmosphere, an envelope of gas less than 100 miles thick.

And don't get me started again on overpopulation. Besides the issues of global warming, pollution, and species extinction, there is the matter of poverty and territorial conflict. I can't stand "conservatives" who are smug about these serious problems. The natural world needs to be conserved!

This is a serious question. f Man Made Global Warming is Real why did the last ice age end 12,000 years ago? did the Wooly Mammoths and Sabre tooth tigers live too large and drive SUV, private jets and live in MCMansions? Mans involvement wasent an issue at the time. And also how did the dinosaurs cause global cooling without mans involvement?

If our atmosphere is 70% nitrogen, 28% oxygen, and 2% other gases, how can excessive carbon dioxide be causing a runaway global greenhouse gas effect when it makes up such a small part of our atmosphere?

I have a test tomorrow and unfortunately, it's over some un-taught material. Anyone know what the largest known mass extinction was? Permain, KT?

Is there a number to call or a website to contact in case I run into a very smoggy, stinky car? You would think that with global warming and everything that there would be one. I help my Dad sell things at outdoor marketplaces and I swear....everyone who works there has an old, incredibly smoggy van. We always get stuck behind one.

Ten years ago or more, I remember it snowing around the beginning of November. Now its mid-December and the weather has gotten very cold, then cold and even up to mild, and the repeated again. Snow for the past few years hasn't come until January, and I'm just wondering why. By the way I live very close to Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario, Canada.

Assuming that the staunch environmentalists in the Northwestern part of the US think there is a cause and effect relationship with man's actions and extreme weather, what do you think there reaction to all this is? Is there sense of humor even less now?

Humans are causing the extinction of many species and the destruction of the environment at an alarming rate. This seems to be a result of our greed and our intellegence. At some point the environment will no longer be able sustain human and many other forms of life. Human intellegence is a survival strategy that will ultimately fail.

Which is your favourite? Mine is 'Life in the freezer' . I remember it as a boy thinking it was awesome, so glad they brought it out on dvd. Its all about antarctica and the images are quite simply breath taking and the coldness and bleakness of the last true wilderness is something else.

Constructing a wind farm must make a huge carbon emmissions footprint if you include every part of its Development,Manufacture,Construction and Maintenance.

Do they have the lifespan to ever get into a positive balance?

Would it be more efficient to give away low energy lightbulbs to every household and business's to reduce emmissions and consumption?
