(I just pulled that number out of my butt) then almost a million cars must be somehow leaving the planet to make room for the new ones, right? Are they being crushed and recycled/put into landfills that fast? I've always wondered because I don't see very many cars older than 10-12 years on the roads.

Scientists know they are not politicians, and politicians should know they are not scientists. Scientists have quantified data that shows conclusively we are quickly approaching the warmest period in our planets history, which will ultimately lead to the coldest planet we have ever had before things stabilize again. My comment above stems from the science community putting an agricultural seed bank in the Antarctic in a mountain above projected raised sea levels. The scientists present the information and the facts as they know them and leave the action up to the politicians. So, where is the action? Are we decreasing global warming by being at war? To many farts are increasing methane levels…Time to concentrate on environment before it is too late. We should maybe start thinking about what we are going to do with the population when this happens. Right now we do not have any infrastructure to handle a global event like an ice age that would require billions to relocate to survive?

The Columbia ice field has been melting since the last ice age and feeds three rivers, which of course, have been flowing for thousands of years. The claim is that this ice sheet is shrinking at ever increasing speeds, but the rivers aren't getting any larger. Where's all the extra melt water going?
Could it be that the glacier's just melting away at the same rate is has been for the past several millenia?

My roommate is incessantly nagging me about turning the lights off when I leave the room, to save money. I realize this can habit CAN save money each month, but is it any significant amount?

Also, because he smokes, he leaves his window open all day long, with the heat on. Does this not take a CONSIDERABLE amount more electricity (and thus cost) and how can I prove this to him?

I am looking for a way to show him that my light habits, pale in comparison to his open window in the middle of winter. Any evidence to support my claim?

in my school we're doing this one project about biomes. I picked the tropical rain forest in brazil. We have to answer some questions about our biome. As the climatologist i have to answer 10 questions. i have already answered 7 out of 10 questions. the last three questions i am having a little bit of trouble with. I cant find the answers to them..no matter where i search i just cant! so i was wondering if ne one knew any sites that could help me answer these three questions:

1. Does the tropical rain forest experience any droughts, floods, hurricanes, or other major storms on a regular basis?
2. What type of winds affect these regions? What are they called? What direction do they blow from?
3. Describe what "growing season" means. What is the length of the typical growing season for this biome?....or is there no growing season?

please does ne one know any good sites that could help me answer these questions??

A variety of environments are adapted to disturbance, including fire-adapted grasslands, fire-dependent forest types, and floodplaines. How do you explain the difference between disturbacne-adapted ecosystems and ecosystems that simply never mature and never reach climax conditions?

...If man is the root cause of global warming, how does this explain the "Roman warming period" between 200 b.c and 400 a.d. in which temperatures rose very much the same as they are now? And...how does this explain the global cooling period starting around 440 a.d. in which many civilizations document dramatically colder temperatures than normal even in the summer?

Hey, don't get me wrong. A cleaner environment and alternatives to fossil fuels are a great idea and I support them. But, could global warming simply be the earth's way of regulating it's own temperature?

Many ecologists and resource scientists work for the government agencies to study resources and resource management. Do scienctists serve the public best if they try to do pure science, or if they try to support the political positions of democratically elected representatives, who after all, represent the positions of the constituents?
