If the government advocates less redundant acceleration in traffic, millions of gasoline gallons can be saved. Every time someone brakes there is a waste of fuel. When we anticipate stops and coast to prevent the need to brake, gasoline is conserved. America has too many drivers accelerating towards red traffic lights and red brake lights due to our aggressive driving habits.

Most of the time the highways I commute on are so congested you can go more than 35MPH anyway. Lower the speedlimit and raise the speeding fines.

Hemp can be used for so many different things such as paper,clothes and even the manufacture of building material for house and such, i've seen a car body made out of hemp. it's very strong. it can be used for much much more such as fuel for the car and heating and it can beused in medicine. so why not use hemp more and more to save this planet from oil.

During the "Holocene Thermal Maximum" time period?

Most "CO2 global warming" believers don't know that the earth was hotter thousands of years ago. All they do know is there were no SUVs back then.

Also, there was a spike in temperature around 15,000 years ago. (15,000 years is nothing compared to the age of the earth). That spike 15,000 years ago was actually a faster increase in temperatures than what we have today. And again, there were no SUV's back then.

It took less than 20 years for temperatures to jump at that point. That rapid temperature increase resulted in the earth leaving the ice age (which had lasted thousands of years).

NASA: "Rapid changes between ice ages and warm periods (called interglacials) are recorded in the Greenland ice sheet. Occurring over ONE OR TWO DECADES, the warming of the Earth at the end of the last ice age happened much faster than the rate of change of the Earth’s orbit."

The current level of CO2 in the atmosphere is 383 ppmv, higher than at any time in the last 20 million years. Are human activities responsible for this, or have we seen an amazing rise in volcanic activity? What is the theoretical effect of adding this much CO2 to the atmosphere?

No best answer will be awarded to anyone who cites anything other than peer-reviewed science.

Why are people denying the existence of global warming caused by man? There is enormous scientific evidence proving that it does exist. I can only guess that people who deny it are justifying their unsustainable lifestyles thereby avoiding the guilt and being compelled to change. However this seems irrational, can anyone explain?

How come Gore constantly says humans are to blame for global warming and that we should destroy our american economy so we can save the earth while he lines his pockets.

If Global Warming is happening right now on Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluton, the moon Triton, etc are experiencing rises in temperatures how can we cause all that harm? Is this a sign that the Sun is just heating up or another scare tactic like the time in the 1930s when the Gore of that time made rediculous movies about kids getting stoned and turning into murderers to exaggerate the effects of Marijuana?

How come Gore keeps on refusing Debate Chalenges against him against people who believe Global Warming is not Human caused?

See, in science class we're having a debate. In this debate my team is in favor of Geothermal energy, and the opposing team is in favor of Hydroelectric power (we did not pick). But they have pretty smart people and my team is going to need some defending facts. Could you guys help me throw down some disadvantages (support it) for Hydroelectric energy? And also, help me find some defending facts for when they throw some back at us. Also, I caught two of their disadvantages for us.. it's that if it rains, then we wouldn't be able to work geothermal power, and that we would not be able to use it for decades if something happens.. i forgot haha. But if you could help me just a wee bit I'd be thankful. :)
