When you are out in your flower garden cutting into those long stemmed lovlies, do you think it is possible that they are screaming on some wavelength that we can not hear?

Is it good if an oil company provided “Shareholders” a report on “Global Warming/ Cooling”?

Annual Share Holder Meeting & Voting for Occidental Petroleum Corp (OXY): Real Issue: #4 Scientific report on Global Warming: Mr. Carl Olson, owner of 100 shares has notified OXY that he intends to present following proposal:
“Resolution for a scientific report on Global Warming/Cooling
… Recommend that the board publish to the stockowners a “Scientific Report on Global Warming/Cooling”, which includes:
1. The global temperature measurement OXY uses in discussing “global warming”
2. The atmospheric gases OXY considers to be “greenhouse gases” with respect to “Global warming/ cooling”.
3. The effect that OXY considers the sun’s radiation to have on “global warming/ cooling”.
4. The sources of atmospheric carbon dioxide that OXY uses in its study of “Global warming / cooling”.
5. The “greenhouse effect” that OXY considers to occur on eh global temperature measurement from the concentration of atmospheric Carbon Dioxide.

OR would this go unnoticed?

How does your choice of grocery bags make a difference to the environment?

I bag groceries as a job and everyday, I see how wasteful people can be when they ask us to double bag plastic, or to bag their groceries in paper and hang them in plastic. Many of them don't realize how harmful to the environment this can be. Especially using plastic bags. Around here, you cant recycle palstic bags because they jam the recycling machines and we get shipments where entire crates of plastic bags have holes in them and we have to throw them away. I try to encourage customers to use paper as it is re-usuable, can hold more, easier on the environment, etc etc. Next week it is earth week and the store is giving out canvas bags that customers can bring back everytime they shop. Do you ever wonder how your choice of bags can make a difference? What do you think about this? Are there any other suggestions you have on how to help the environment when it comes to grocery bags?

What ever happened to the idea of cold fusion? Isn't is supposed create energy without pollution?

10 to 15 years ago there was alot of discussion about cold fusion powering everything. It was said you would fill a tank up in your car with water and that would be the fuel. It also was supposed to be pollution free. Why don't we hear about it anymore? Was it proven to be impossible? Was if found to actually cause pollution? Was it found to be too unstable?

How do all you Nay-sayers feel about the issue of Global Warming now?

We've had a fine autum, winter and semi-spring/lagging winter so far. The weather has been weird, much more so than average.

Whats next? Locusts, Famine, Earthquakes, Droughts,Tidal Waves, . . .
Uhmm aren't we already getting these in various parts of the world, but occuring more frequently and lasting longer, as well as the beginings of multiple extinctions of various species of animals and flora?

Guess what, everything is gonna get worse before it gets better.

How much worse do you think it will get?

Is Al Gore a paleoclimatologist? Or an azz?

Appearing before the Commons Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development last year, Carleton University paleoclimatologist Professor Tim Patterson testified, "There is no meaningful correlation between CO2 levels and Earth's temperature over this [geologic] time frame. In fact, when CO2 levels were over ten times higher than they are now, about 450 million years ago, the planet was in the depths of the absolute coldest period in the last half billion years." Patterson asked the committee, "On the basis of this evidence, how could anyone still believe that the recent relatively small increase in CO2 levels would be the major cause of the past century's modest warming?"
