How can a new pond or lake become populated with fish when there is no human intervention? Frogs I can understand as they have legs and will travel overground. But fish can't survive for that long out of water. I've heard theories of fish eggs becoming stuck to water birds and getting transferred this way; but is there any positive proof of this happening?

I heard that air con system only recycle and cool the indoor air and do not take in new air from outside the house. Thus if we were to turn on the air con whole night we there be a high CO2 build up and will we be sleeping with lacking of oxygen and get CO2 poisoning or brain cells demage?

Similarly, in cold countries when one shut all windows and doors and use the radiator, will there be a lack of oxygen in the house?

I am in my 30s and am seriously fed up with my current career. I am and always have been interested in wildlife and conservation. I am considering a return to university to study Zoology as a mature student. Before I do I would like to take a year out and I was hoping to go abroad and volunteer on a wildlife/conservation project. However, giving a year of my time, free of charge, doesn't seem enough thesedays. The only volunteer programs I can find are charging silly money for short placements. So my question is this; Is there anywhere or any organisation in the world where I can volunteer to work with wildlife or on a conservation project without paying for the privilage? I am happy to support myself but thesedays it seems you have to be a spoilt little rich kid to help save the planet. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I was trying to find a way to build a durable bomb shelter. So I had a idea I have a friend will a mobile drill set on the back of a large f550 truck. i own some 50 acres in a area known for volcanic caverns or lava rubes deep underground some in excess of 100 feet deep. so I hired a guy with ground based radar and had him test my property. we found voids at 237 feet. so we brought in the mobile drill and started drilling. we hit the void and expanded the hole with huge well casings 4 feet across. Now we have a opening to a million year old lava tube. We are going to line it with cement and cement each end with steel reinforced concete. put wiring down into the lava tube and put plumbing in also. I think this should stand against a direct hit from a nuclear blast. what do you think

If Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide are major contributors to the Global Warming crisis, why haven't we been given some of the basic facts concerrning these gases? For example, I don't recall ever hearing if Carbon Dioxide or Carbon Monoxide rise in the atmosphere from ground level or if they sink in the average Earth atmosphere. I know that Carbon Monoxide reverts to Carbon Dioxide rather quickly. Given this set up...Which is the worst polluter - a CO2 Emitter way up in the high altitudes, or a CO2 emitter at ground level? I ask this because the Ozone Layer which is one of our big concerns is way up in the stratosphere (if I named that layer correctly.

If the problem with Global Warming has to do with having fewer and fewer trees to convert the CO2 into O2, why don't we see major analysis work being done to determine the best absorber plant for CO2 and movements to plant lots and lots of them rather quickly. Think of all the vacant roofs on apartment buildings and government buildings that could become homes to new trees in pots, and jobs for people to water them - sell automatic watering systems - report on cleaner air quality due to the new trees.

Why or Why Not?

I do. It's obvious and it's evident that it is happening. So many people fall for the greedy corporate-paid scientists that diliberately confuse the American public so that way they don't have to spend money improvising their ways to save Earth.
Fact: Internal Combustion Engine is 50 years outdated. Why not switch over to new hybrid cars? Corporations are making more money with the IC Engine.
Fact: Earth is nearly the most rarest occurance in the universe. The chances of my life and yours is one in a trillion+.

Anyone that doesn't feel obligated to save this rarity themselves is selfish whether or not global warming is mainly caused by Humans or just slightly caused by it; everyone needs to do their part.

Yes there are constant debates on whether global warming exists or not...but shouldn't we work towards putting less garbage in the air for another worthy cause - like "fresh air"? Ok, so we take a economic hit...isn't it worth it to have clean air to breath and a cleaner planet to inhabit? Can we not accept "smog" as a fact of life?

i have a scenario for people who are concerned about the environment.

if you live around the US-Canada border then u might know that the garbage from Toronto is shipped to Michigan to fill up the land. the trucks that carry the garbage from Toronto pass through mostly farmland and residential areas, and some industrial/commercial areas.
lets pretend that you are a transport company employee. now what concerns will you have regarding this issue. also try to consider environmental impacts in your answer.

Good Luck!

My friend's mother told me that this is normal, and the earth goes though this all the time, and if I'd look back in history I'd see. Right now its apparently going though its heating stage...and wen on in my 20's(I'm 15), that the earth will start too cool down. This goes against everything I've learned in school. What is correct?

We produce about one 30 gallon garbage can of sawdust a week. These logs would be for outside camping use, most likely. We also have access to a machine shop, and could build a compression device also. This device would have to be easy to use and fairly time efficient. Thoughts?
