What is the absolute change in particle energy associated with a 1 degC rise in average global temperatures? I would like a refresher on how temperature is related to particle energy. Not exactly a direct relationship is it? Please explain how thermal expansion of water is very real, and greater overall thermal energy can lead to more extreme weather phenomena. Explain how statistical correlation does not indicate causation, however evidence (and you mislead in your other response, as the trends have not been observed from just our lif-time) from such comparision has been so strong that most mainstream scientists (these are the ethical ones that report facts and intertpret data without bias of personal gain) agree that anthropogenic global warniming and the resultant climate change is indeed fact, much like evolution and atomic theory. As a scientist, you must surely understand that no one explantion can be proven, but there are some damn good ones w/ great predictive value.

Time was, we were told that fluorescent lights consumed an hour's worth of electricity every time you turned them on. Was this true? Is this still true for the bulb-socket varieties that seem to take a minute or so to "heat up"? Are they best used where they're going to be turned on and left on, or are you saving money by using them where they'll only be on for a few minutes at a time, like a bathroom?

isn`t it all pretty silly ,i mean the earth does what it want`s when it wants regardless of the human race.just look at what science has proved with extinct species and dramatic weather pattern changes throughout the history of the earth

Considering all seas are fed from salt free rivers, you would think a dilution process would happen over time

We recycle either way, but if you're familiar with the percentage reused or the process of recycling them, can you tell me which is better?

If global warming is true, which I don't think so. When most of the glaciers and ice caps melt and populations are displaced do to the rise of oceans, you think they would have the technology to transfer the displaced water into outerspace so land mass would stay constant. Sounds expensive, but possible.

I am doing a science project.

(For those not so bright people out there, light pollution has nothing to do with climate change or chemicals or anything like that)

Are all the earths major problems due to over popularization.
Shouldn't we be trying to bring our numbers down to give nature a chance.

Ok, the Earth's atmosphere is approx 78% nitrogen, 20% Oxygen, and 1% argon. could we breath if it was 78% argon, 20% Oxygen, and 1% nitrogen? How about 78% hydrogen or Helium?

Location to residential areas: They could be built on the same location to replace conventional coal and oil power plants. Nuclear plants don't not pollute the local air.
Terrorist attack: Unlikely- they were designed during the cold war to withstand nuclear missile attacks.
Nuclear waste disposal: U.S. has plenty of unpopulated areas for this. Not the greatest solution, but better than having Florida underwater in a few hundred years due to global warming.
Electromagnetic radiation: no more that current elctric power plants.


Solar and wind energy are not feasable since neither would provide suffieceint power to heat your home and drive your car. With Nulcear both would go electric.
