I have heard that corn growers use about 1/2 gallon of gasoline in the fertilizer to grow enough corn to make a gallon of ethanol.

I figure by the time it gets really bad, I'll be long gone, so I don't care. The world handed me the threat of nuclear war, I have no problem with handing the next generation the problem of global warming. Best of luck, kids! Hah!

I was just wondering if the rotation of the earth effects climate and instability for the planet. Plus, if there are other man made factors along with a rotation shift, what would be some of the effects?

Move all the factories to Canada!

Is that a good idea? I think it is, because it's mostly frozen wasteland in Canada, and we could move all the factories there and air here in America would be much cleaner, and in other countries!

It is no questions that humans play a full roll in global warming and its fatal results for the planet. What can be done about it to undo what's done? Nothing says a scientist. Everyone should cooperate say other scientists.

But what can really be done to stop the trend or even slow it down a bit? Can we replace the rivers we've destroyed? Can we rebuilt the mountains removed to make way for cement?

Can we destroy all the concrete that is covering the earth's pores to allow the earth to breathe again? Can we re-install all the earth properties that were there but disappeared when we started pouring concrete all over the face of the earth?

Can we go back to horse and carriage? Will this reverse the mass destruction of mother earth in the long run? Can we not take too long to study these questions because it is getting too late perhaps?

Can the different governments think about the future of humanity and react positively?

The infalible Al Gore's fabled crisis is a bit tardy. If the world is heating up so that it's 10 F in maryland WITH the sun out, when can we expect this armageddon of which he speaks?

I recently posted a question about vehicles used for recreation that use gasoline unnecessarily. From some of the replies I got it was obvious that some people didn't get the unnecessary part, comparing the small amount of gasoline used by, say skidoos , with necessary fuel burners like trucks. I feel guilty myself. I am long retired yet I own a car in a city with adequate public transportation. I own it because I can and don't want the inconvenience of taking a bus. My point is that we are going to have to do something sometime to avoid a catastrophe and if it takes government legislation to stop us burning diminishing fossil fuels unnecessarily and contributing to global warming and air polution. Future generations [if they are able to survive at all] will curse our memory. We are in a very serious situation.

What if humans were souly to blame For the changes in our climate due to us polluting the atmosphere?
With only 10 years to reduce global emissions by 50% otherwise it’s too late to undo the damage we have already done.
What drastic steps (differences) would we have to make to our now normal way of life in order to give us and our grandchildren and their children chance of life and hopefully normal global temperatures?

Our council has issued householders with a silver Sulo wheelie bin for cardboard, plastic bottles, etc and a green Sulo wheelie bin for paper. Some householders are issued with a brown Sulo wheelie bin at an annual cost of £10 for garden compostable waste. The idea is to enable householders to recycle more of their waste by facilitating separation and collection. It would be nice to know if the bins are made from post consumer waste instead of virgin raw materials.

It would be costly, but would help tackle the problem. We could find out a way of catching carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and then pour it down inside some sort of container. Even if we stop producing carbon dioxide, the warming trend of the planet will stay for some decades or centuries, what has to be done is actually removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
