Since the atmosphere is warming up due to global warming, that means that more water molecules gain enough energy to evaporate and leave the surface of the water, right?... So there SHOULDNT be a rise in the water level...?

Oh my solution is that is there anyway the ozone layer or the atmosphere could be extended or made larger? So that the atmosphere is less dense with co2?...

AND.. this might sound crazy but I think it might work.. you know how when you lick an icelolly, the saliva on the ice-lolly freezes? Does that ever happen with you?.. Well couldnt they pour VAST amounts of water back into the centres of polar ice caps to re-freeze the water? That way the water level wont be a problem anymore?

- Is the water temp. rising because of underwater volcanoes?
- Doesn't water reflect sunlight? or does only ice?
- Although New Orleans was hit by a Hurricane, wasn't the problem because of the poor levies and poor planning?
- If areas are flooding according to Gore, why don't they stay flooded?
Lastly, why doesn't he mention anything about the extreme cold tempurature and increased snowfall around Northwest States?

Here are some examples where manipulation of findings might occur: research on global warming or pharmacutical research. Can you think of any other examples where scientists have been hired by industry in order to support their agenda which could be financial.

I have ice on my steps and sidewalk and a lot of people coming over today. i f I put hot water on them to melt the ice and then throw rock salt down on it, will it keep it from refreezing? It is only 5 degrees here. Other solutions are welcome.

* I believe the natural causes are behind the global warming, as by watching some programs nowadays transmitted on UKTV history channel, showing :-
1- That the temperature of the sun is increasing, which leads to the earth receiving more heat than before, leading to its warming.
2- The earth was passing through different ages (ice age, water age) & the natural changes still continuing to occur.
* so not the fumes from my , your car & the air flight, which I have to pay £40 (increase in tax/UK), as by paying that will not sort the matter out!
* man made CO2 might come by chance of the existing natural warming (the timing of it).
* But man made CO2 consists an easy excuse for the governments to rob their citizens! What a shame.

Well for those of you sitting back thanking the world for finally waking up to the problem of global warming, cosey and warm in that reassurring glow of global cooperation on the matter - have you heard of something called Global Dimming?

This is a large cooling effect, casued by man made air pollution, that has been totally (thats right) totally omitted from the current climate modelling, and has been masking the true impact of carbom emissions on gloabl temperature. The stuff recently reported regards UN classification of glabal warming as being "very likely" to be due to human activity; Al Gores "An Inconvenient Truth"; international and national climate change targets for the next century - all of these do NOT include this effect.

If you plug it in temperatures have risen by 1.6 - 2 degrees making the 2 degree temp rise target by the end of this century already redundant.

So it is official! Yesterdays report by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says that human activities are the cause of global warming.
So why are you still denying it? How can you argue with science? What make you think that you know better? What kind of news are you listening to?

According to scientists global warming is caused by human activity and we must take action now if we are to avoid catastrophe. What they and the politicians don't say is that if the measures taken are to be effective then millions, possibly hundreds of millions of people will die of starvation.
It is only modern energy guzzling technology that has enabled the world to feed it's fast growing population, if we turn the clock back the consequences for the human race will be as bad as if we just took our chances and carry on as before.

nuclear power creates nuclear waste.
coal power creates greenhouse gas emissions and open mines.
wind turbines kill low flying birds.
hydroelectric impedes the migration of certain species of fish.
petroleum creates greenhouse gas emissions
these are the big 5, environmentalists wine about them all.
what is the environmentalist solution for energy?
