Lets say that the world takes the amount of carbon it produces and tries to reduce it by one percent a year through conservation, one percent a year through greater fuel efficency, one percent a year on carbon scrubbing, shift energy production to zero emmision sources by one percent a year adding up to reducing the total amount of carbon being released by four percent the first year and an aditional four percent every year after that until finally the emmision of global warming causing gases are being scrubed out as fast as there being released taking twenty five years to acomplish at which point the excess carbon that's already been released can be scrubbed out of the atomosphere eventually completely reversing the problem?

Including everything from plantation land to the cost of picking up butts outside buildings. And of course the medical costs.

I'm curious about the total benefit to the world if smoking didn't exist.

Me and my family use a lot of bottles and cans. I would like to recycle but I do not have the time to get them all together and take them somewhere just for a couple of dollars... And in the complex that i live in we do not have a recycle bin. So what should i do because i feel bad always throwing these things to the garbage?

What will you tell your children and grandchildren while global warming was still preventable?
Expect to hear things like this:
...You couldn't even write a letter to your
...congressman?

...Did you not hear what the scientists were
...finding - 11 of the 12 warmest years since
...1860 have occurred since 1995 - polar caps
...and glaciers are melting faster than scientists
...believed possible.

...But you listened to paid hacks and government
...appointees who were protecting their corporate
...friends from any accountability for making billions
...while they spoiled the earth's atmosphere.

Call it capitalism, globalization, whatever......it will soothe them not.
When they realize that the earth's climate was destroyed willfully
despite warnings from thousands of scientists, scientific studies and
research from around the world, our offspring will have a strong case
that we did a bad thing......a really, really bad thing by not attempting

I LOVE the taste of salmon, but farm-raised (Atlantic for the most part) salmon is an environmental disaster for a lot of reasons (it pollutes the waterways with pesticides and fish lice, farmed salmon escape and compete with weakened wild stocks, it's inefficient [it takes 2 lbs of fish to make 1 lb of farmed salmon])... in short, it's VERY BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

I love salmon, but it's extremely hard to find wild-caught salmon in the supermarkets because supermarkets are lagging behind in offering more eco-friendly alternatives.

Does someone know where I can get wild-caught salmon in West Los Angeles. I'd prefer to know a regular supermarket so I don't have to make an extra trip. I know that Whole Foods sometimes has it, but does anyone know of any others?

Al Gore's ulitility bills are $30,000. for 1 year. That's over 20 times the amount of that average person's? How do you feel about Al Gore's Home using that much Electricity and Gas in light of the fact that he just won an Oscar for Gore's global-warming documentary "An Inconvenient Truth"?

Hey, I stumbled upon this article (http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/greenhouse_data.html)
that said that human made co2 is only 3.25% of all the co2 in the earth's atmosphere. It also said that water vapor is the most abundant greenhouse gas, and that is true. If the article is correct and humans are responsible for that miniscule amount of co2, then why is there such a fret? If we're not responsible for the co2, then where does it come from "naturally"?

Thanks!

Some think it's a hoax, others believe it's real.

Why do you believe it is a hoax or real?

I need some dirt for a project and I dug it up in my backyard but outside there is snow and ice (I live in Michigan) and I need help to dry the mad as soon as I can. So how would I do it? I've put the mud that already defrosted in a bucket and its now just mud because it defrosted in the bucket. I poured all the water I could without taking the mud out. Again, what is the easiest and fastest way I can turn the mud into dirt? Thanks!
