Environment - April 2007

I have to answer this question for a fluids class and am struggling to connect it to anything I've learned in there. I don't see how it is related to the Bernoulli equation, mass conservation, Ideal gas law, reynolds transport, or anything other concepts. Does anyone else see any connection? I'm looking for scientific suggestions. Please do not just reference to websites, because I've been all over the net looking for information. Thanks!

Just curious, since I don't buy into the "evil white men driving big cars will ruin the planet". Wanting to know if I am as bad as the racists who deny the holocaust ever happened.

Earth Day began in 1970 to combat 'science's' predicted coming Ice Age. Forty years earlier, 'science' said watch out for global warming. Forty years before that, 'science' said there was 'another ice age coming. What a joke! I agree; do what you can to keep this earth as clean and natural as possible, but don't be a chicken little...if the sky's falling, it's probably not our fault. Don't believe the hype.

I'm not a tree hugger or anything like that, but i do care about the environment. I watch the news a lot and see that the ice is melting where the penguins are. I mean, does anyone see what's gonna happen?

OLED TV is discovered and is known to replace LCD TVs in the future. Well, OLED TVs will rely on light. BTW OLED means "organic light emitting diode". In my opinion, it will be a failure after 7-10 years it will be discovered because the world would slowly darken because of massive stacks of garbage. OLED would be gone and so is mankind.

I know that we shouldn't just throw then together with the trash, and that some places like Lowe's will take batteries for recycling but not the common AA, AAA, 9V, etc batteries, so who takes them?

I do believe Volcanic Activity has a major effect on Global Warming / Global Cooling.

If smoke fills the skies, then it would block the suns radiation.
When the smoke clears, the ice melts.
That would make sense as far as dinosaurs becoming extinct.

I think that if the earth does get too warm, volcanoes will errupt creating a blanket, sheilding the earth from the sun, allowing the earth to cool down. That will be the start of the next Ice Age.

I don't know how much Humans contribute to Global Events.
I am sure we can't be helping, but it does explain Global Cooling and Global Warming.

Ice melts, Water freezes, Poles shift.

I want to give credit to Bush for moving on investment in biofuels to work towards energy independence but I have to quibble about a few things.

First of all, Brazilians make ethanol more efficiently from sugar cane than we do from corn. Bush signed a deal to import ethanol from Brazil. BUT there is a $.45 per gallon tax on imported Brazilian ethanol AND we are subsidizing US farmers to grow corn for ethanol. Isn't this a backwards incentive which promotes the less efficient alternative?

Also, making ethanol from sugar cane, while better than corn, is still pretty inefficient. There is the potential for much more economical (and less carbon utilizing) production from other sources such as cellulose (basically garbage - waste agricultural biproducts and wood chips, recycled paper and cardboard). Did Bush make too hasty a commitment towards ethanol instead of looking more carefully at the existing science on best methods?

Hmmm, Algore has a carbon footprint larger than Boise Idaho. Yet he sleeps at night because he buys 'carbon credits' from a company he owns. The Vostok ice cores show that todays tempratures are nine or so degrees above the low temps of the three most recent (in hundred thousand year terms)ice ages and a degree or more below the peak temps of 140k and 325k years ago.
The global warming movement is nothing more than the furthering of a one world government. If global warming was going to be such a catostrophic mess, why aren't the warmists calling for an outright ban on the internal combustion engine ? Because it's a hoax. Go look at the historical temprature record from the Vostok Ice Cores and see where the "earth's temprature has risen a half degree in the last one hundred years" fits in.

Throughout history the earth has heated up and cooled down. Volcanos put out as much CO2 in a day as the human race does in a decade. the antartic used to have pam trees and animals and no ice. Yes I know continental drift has a part to play but is it not just an excuse to Tax the voting public again (Yes Liz S I agree with you)

If so, by what company and in which state? I would like to confirm (yeah or nay), if all CFB's are really manufactured in China. A radio personality recently reported that as we buy more and more CFBs, the Chinese build more coal powered plants to produce the electricity needed to fuel its manufacturing facilities. We all kow that China pays little attention to air quality and global warming. I'm trying do decide if CFB use has a net positive effect on our environment.

I saw a video saying that water vapor accounts for 95% of greenhouse gas (with CO2 accounting for a small percentage), thus actually causing more harm to the environment than CO2--is this true? I trying to understand the whole Global Warming issue, but I'm getting conflicting information. Help please.
