Environment - January 2007

It would be best if you could show me a journal article or scientific document detailing specific incidents. If you just know of the top of your head, that's fine too. I'm just curious.

one minute as humans use in one whole day. Do you think we will ever have the capability to run our technology primarily off the Sun's energy?

who would be willing to do the following?

yes or no?
SOME PRACTICAL THINGS YOU CAN DO
Change a light: Replacing one regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent one will save 150 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.
Drive less: Walk, bike, carpool or take public transport more often. You’ll save one pound of carbon dioxide for every mile you don’t drive.
Recycle more: You can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half of your household waste.
Check your tires: Inflated properly can improve gas mileage by more than 3%. Every gallon of petrol saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere!
Use less hot water: It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by installing a low flow showerhead, 350 pounds of CO2 saved per year.
Avoid products with a lot of packaging: You can save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.
Adjust your thermostat: Moving your thermostat just 2 degrees down in winter and up 2 degrees up in summer, could save about 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide

Are humans to blame for global warming?

I beleive GW is a myth. I feel that the earth has its natural cycles, which it has been going through for many years now. Even if it were true, nature emits much more pollutants than humans do. Just one volcano releases more green house gases than any one country. Don't get me wrong, I firmly beleive we should do all we can to prevent pollution, not because of GW, but because of common sense. Of course we do not want to live in a dirty world. Any thoughts?

This one is for the rich and powerful, or for someone with a dream.?

Would it be possible to help slow down the effects of global warming by creating about 50-100 giant ice cube makers in the artic area. It would be like an ice machine found in fast food places, where it makes the ice on its own and drops into a huge bucket, except it would fall back into the ocean. Using solar panels and the water from the ocean, ppl could come to do maintenance on once a month, or monitor them from far. Huge corporations like Coke, McDonalds, etc, and factories that make lots of pollution and have fines to pay or what ever penalties they get could go towards the cost of building and maintaining and ice machine. This would not only help the polar bears and other wild life, but it would it would create jobs and it would probably be tax deducible not to mention good publicity for who ever participated in this.
So if someone out there has power and influence or knows of a way to make this a reality, please let me know, but if you just want the points and don’t really care take your points and move on.
