Does it kinda dissolve in loo water and just disappear? Or does it get flushed out to the seas in some form or other?
Is it better to just chuck it in the bin?

Several sites I visited reported that in a gas engine 19 pounds of carbon dioxide were released for every pound of gasoline burned. Since CO2 does not rise in the atmosphere, and it is about the same weight as Nitrogen, it just floats around. Therefore, it would seem that a major source of atmospheric heating is from high altitude commercial and military jet plane exhaust emissions in the upper atmosphere. Does anyone know of a way in which total aviation gas purchases by commercial airlines can be captured as data input for calculations? Does anyone know the typical fuel consumption of various common types of commercial and military jet aircraft?

Why are people rejoicing about this weather? When the world comes to an end and our plate is gone, then we will all be dead-

no more smiling.

Since "Global Warming" has become a topic of the day, and continual reference has been made to problems created by
reductions in the size of the rain forests, etc., by many observers, is it impractical to suggest immediate planting of trees in every available (suitable soil/rainfall/temp) place? I have in mind unused space on flat warehouse roofs, industrial building flat roofs, government building flat roofs. Questionable areas and locations might be enhanced with automatic drip feed watering systems. Costs would be minimal to try and improve this situation if low growing shrubs and bushes were utilized. What I think is needed is real research into what particular bushes and shrubs consume the most carbon dioxide of the many varieties that are available. It is fairly obvious that we cannot begin growing redwoods, etc., on roof tops. So what shrubs and bushes might be best? This is something that the public could initiate and propagate as a partial solution to the problem.

There are so many things that could bring civilization to its knees both man-made and natural. Is it possible for the human race to move on after being hit by a major catastrophic event? Would some countries be hit harder than others?

I personally believe that global warming is the best thing for this planet as it would wipe out the virus that this planet has, us humans!! Then maybe mother nature will have a chance to recover from our wake. I would really like to hear some other views on the matter.

Perhaps the seasons have changed, maybe winter has not yet arrived, but there are flowers out already, mother nature is not usually wrong.

My school has a man made forest. This project has just been done late 2006. It was created by the Green Club where environment & saving nature resources is concern. But we have a fountain which reacts like a river. People ask me, is it environment friendliness just to keep the pump on all day to pump water out. I couldn't answer them. So my question is, how do I pump water without using electricity?
