Al Gore's film, "An Inconvenient Truth", took the Oscar last night for The Bestest and Most Truest Movie Ever Made. Both Leonardo DiCaprio and Melissa Etheridge now stand adoringly in his court. How many Oscars does Al Gore have to win before the rest of America will take the threat of Global warming seriously?

i think this would make al gore sad and depressed inside, and piss off people that believe in conserving nature along with animals, but the nice approach isn't working, so maybe this would work? -_-"

In many areas the water table is dropping .... while usage is increasing. Do you think they should curtail usage of water ALL the time --- and not just when there is a temporary drought ?? I'm thinking of ... not allowing water usage for lawns and such. Do you think you would mind living in an area where you couldn't water your lawn ??

If all the Countries could agree on building air purification plants to clean up at least as much as they themselves destroy, woulden't that take care of everything? They could replace the ozone layers and make pure oxygen.

Global warming is a natural process. Unfortunately, almost all news stations refuse to show that. And I have even heard that some scientists that want to discuss that global warming is a fallacy on television are paid off to not say a word. I think that it's wrong and not fair for no one to hear the other side of the story. I hate it when people make judgments about things that they don't even know the whole story.

I also think its ridiculous that Al Gore's 'An Inconvenient Truth' won an Oscar. It's absolute bull.

Okay, I'll stop preaching and let you answer.

A species may become extinct becasue it's habitat has been destroyed or because the enviroment changes in a direction that is unfavourable to the species. A mass extinction occurs when there is a sharp decrease in the number of species in a relatively short period of time.

Throughout time, there has been much mass extinction on this planet. To this date, there have been at least 5 mass extinctions throughout the planet. All these has been caused by natural ways, such as meteorites crashing into the planet, causing a climate change, volcanic eruptions also causing a climate change, the reversing of the magnetic poles, creating a temporal disappearance in the magnetic field, which allows the suns harmful rays to enter the atmosphere, and many other theories.

Now, considering all the damages we are doing to the environment, such as: Global Warming, War, Pollution
Do you believe that the human race will drive ourselves into extinction or al least create a mass extinction? Why?

Just curious what you think. I've read some stories and seen the Inconvenient Truth documentary. I'm not sure how we can repair the polar ice caps, etc. now that they have melted to the degree they have.

I am looking to buy one of these new eco-friendly gadgets (they make logs/bricks that you can burn on your fireplace - from your old newspapers and junkmail!) You just put in old papers, and press down on the handles (or a button, depending on the type!) and a brick pops out. Apparently they burn for up to 2 hours. COOL!

I have seen lots on websites, but I'd like to buy one in a store in PERSON in London, UK, as a gift tomorrow, if I can. Does anyone know if any of the green stores or eco-charities have started stocking them yet? I am quite deperate for one tomorrow, if I can - they are a brilliant innovation!

Many, many thanks to all out there!
