Hey, I am confused why all of america knows about global warming (or most of us) and we do squat. What are your opinions, and what do you want to do to help. If you are from the ages 10-20 your kids will have to live with global warming, while you try to protect them. Is that the kind of future you want? Spread the news about global warming, and I will chose a best answer!

I hear so many skeptics claiming that there "isn't enough evidence" to show that humans are causing global warming, but from what I know there is near consensus in the scientific community that humans ARE causing global warming and that it is a serious problem. So what is the source of the popular misconception that scientific evidence for human impact is weak? If you are a skeptic, can you demonstrate that this controversy exists? Please provide sources.

Since the last ice retreat was a mere 5 to 25 thousand years ago which is a blip in Earth time how much difference would all of the human activity in speeding up warming and does it matter anyway? Where is it all heading? Would there be no irreversible global warming without us?

I'd like to start conserving water and I've heard about gray water as a recycling tool. I'd love to do it, but can't figure out an effective way to collect bathwater and laundry water to use for lawn watering. Apart from taking gallon containers and dunking them in the water to fill them, then dumping the 20 or more it would take to empty the tub and washer, I can't figure out a way to do this!

So, help please! And what can I use? I know I can't use toilet water, but I'm guessing I can use sink, bath and laundry water - anything else?

Thanks!

..., nor for nothing, for we find the lack of absence….
Or:
…, nor for nothing, but that we find the lack of absence….
I’m asking because there is a question of –style for usage.
For instance, which conjoined structure sounds better? Spoken? Written?
…cutting rainforest to grow sugar-cane and high-cellulose-hemp-species as an ethanol supply will not reduce atmospheric carbon, for we know that an amount of the carbon-dioxide rainforests remove from the atmosphere ends up sediments in swampy sections and turn to coal, which is not atmospheric carbon gas and instead is rock (unless you burn it and put it back in the atmosphere!)….
Or:
…carbon-dioxide, alone, is transparent to the human eye, how will we, the independent voter, nearly 70% of the USA-Voter-Population, know of the corruption in the carbon-trapping-businesses, but that we will be trusting the power companies and others, to monitor themselves for carbon-dioxide rising from smoke stacks as transparent as the sky behind….

Apparently Scientists are finding "Global Warming" on MARS, and various other Planets within the Solar System in addition to Earth.
So unless someones driving SUV's on MARS or has started up a Coal Mine there, what could be causing this in the SOLAR system?
What else in the SOLAR system could be causing this SOLAR activity?
Scientist continue to study the SOLAR system, yet are baffled by the SOLAR system as to what in the SOLAR system could be causing this warming.

99 is about the normal of 98.6. Aren't we doing the same by fretting over global warming?
Of course we all know that the normal body temperature varies by +/- 1 degree during the day.

Do we really know what the normal global temperature variation of the earth is?

I here people talking a lot about big oil companies and how they slander alternative fuels and buy up patents and don't develop the technology, but does anyone have links to proof? I hear a lot of talk, but I still haven't seen anything with my eyes that makes it fact. Post links to documents so we can see the real deal.
