Especially since it is the safest, most efficient, cheapest, and cleanest technology available? No one has ever died from a Nuclear Power Plant.......hundreds are killed each year mining for polluting coal mines.

In a late 2006 UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) report entitled "Livestock's Long Shadow" it indicated that the livestock industry generates approximately 18% of the world's greenhouse gasses. According to the FAO report, the livestock industry generated 1.4 percent of the world's gross domestic product and provided food and income for nearly one billion of the world's poorest people in 2005. For every 100 metric tons of protien livestock provides, they consume 133 metric tons. Scientists now know that those 19 million metric tons of protien that are lost during consumption ferment in the stomach and later are released as the greenhouse gas methane.

So... I guess we need to drastically reduce the cow population in the world to "save the planet"... sorry PETA.. gotta kill em'... saving the planet you know. Oh, and whats a billion of the poorest people really worth anyhow? I say kill the industry... to do our part of course. What do you think?

As everyone has hyped hybrids and ethanol we still have the same problem. What happens when the worlds population triples in 20 years? Are we all going to be using Hydrogen or Gas still? The answer is in zero point energy and kinetic energy.

Lets get moving on pushing this tech forward.

A sun screen between the earth and sun could cool the earth and the oceans to prevent hurricanes.

If they want people to take her question seriously, why not use a good picture?

The other greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen dioxide, and various others including CFCs, contribute only five per cent of the effect, carbon dioxide being by far the greatest contributor at 3.6 %.

However, carbon dioxide as a result of man's activities is only 3.2 % of that 3.6, hence only 0.12 % of the greenhouse gases in total. Human-related methane, nitrogen dioxide and CFCs etc make similarly minuscule contributions to the effect: 0.066, 0.047 and 0.046 % respectively.

So is there really anything humans can do to effect the situation at all, positively or negatively?

Since the 1970's, there has been a tremendous growth in misinformation regarding the 'environment'. One of the most incorrect theories is that global warming's primary cause is mankind. Flights of fancy are passed off as 'documentaries' by has-been politicos trying to feed their gigantic egos; while hypocritically turning a blind eye to their own huge 'carbon-footprint'. Ice Ages have come and gone throughout the history of the earth; so instead of more, incorrect theories; where is the actual hard scientific evidence to help refute the lies?

Specifically, how do we know that the energy used to recycle things such as paper doesn't do more harm to the environment than growing new paper? I read that recycling wastes energy and causes far more pollution than it saves.

It is safe and clean energy. We'd only have to build 400-something plants to get 100% of our energy needs met.

Coal mining kills miners. Oil causes wars. Solar is just in its infancy.

Nuclear power has a pristine safety record here in America. (Don't use Chernobyl as an example-- the Soviets half-a s s everything and their technology sucked and still does.)

So how come nothing's been built since the 70's?

There is a safe way to store the waste as well.

I think an alternet fuel should be invented. gasahol sounds like it might work but will it help global warming? Why is gas prices increasing so much when the oil companys are making so much profit?

It takes money (sometimes) to switch over, and change things. Not everyone cares enough to want to do this, so I think the Gov should offer tax breaks for incentive.
