Radon, a radioactive gas, is found in many houses, and presumably all air conditioned buildings across the planet. It is drawn up through cracks in the basement due to a "chimney effect" that produces an updraft in any building. Some homes have been found to be so contaminated that living in one is equivalent to smoking two to three packs of cigarettes per day in terms of increased lung cancer risk. So, with all of these residences emitting radon gas at a rate that is presumably several times greater than the ground itself would, is this contributing to a potentially serious problem, or is the percentage of land covered with buildings just not significant enough to produce a significant change in background radiation?

I bet the New Yorkers hope so. Also, will global warming warm it up enough so the families can hold funerals for the 13 people who froze to death in the midwest?

as government policy seems to be turning more and more towards nuclear energy, how do people feel about this option? Particularly in relation to other energy options such as wind energy, which, up until recently, appeared to be being pushed heavily by government policy but has not been developed to the levels hoped for by government targets (at least partly due to a lack of public support). Can nuclear really work where wind power failed?

It takes about 1/3 of a pound of pesticides to produce 1 cotton t-shirt. Around 180 -250 pounds of chemical fertilizer is used on 1 acre of cotton in the U.S., most of which washes off and ends up in the water supply or habitat.

Do you think it's time we "go organic" with respect to buying clothes?

The scientific method goes: observation, hypothesis, testing -> theory. Over time, with significant testing and no counter examples, theory becomes accepted fact.

We can observe a small rise in average temperatures over the last couple hundred years. The earth has warmed a bit - on the order of a few degrees, 2 or 3 if I recall correctly. Even this is debated on a number of points that seem reasonable, but even if accurate the warming is not as dire as a casual observer would expect from all the alarmists running about. One would think the earth had warmed 10 degrees in the last 5 years from listening to the media.

What is really debateable is the cause. The ASSUMPTION that CO2 and other gasses are the cause has not been sufficiently tested. Indeed, the attempt to find a cause can ruin's one career.

So why all the pressure to not test the hypothesis that 'greenhouse gases' are the cause?
