if global warming is caused by more carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere than that which can be removed from the atmosphere by photosynthesis, has proportion of carbon dioxide dioxide in the atmosphere increased in a measure of ppm or percentage relative to the other gaseous components in the atmosphere over the past 150 years, if so by how much.

I challenge everyone to look at their food labels, look up any "chemical" ingredient, and tell me what effect it has on the human body. I already know, but I want to see how many of you will take the time to know what goes into your bodies. Your searches WILL shock you.(check your shampoos and soaps too!) Tell me what you have learned, and maybe you can tell me something I haven't learned yet!!!

These damm libs preach to us about global warming but they turn around and drive their SUV's, fly in corporate jets that burn tons of fuel and our good boy Gore consume more electricity at his mansion far more than the average household. I've heard repub-pukes also preaching the global warming problem. People at the big picture, it's all about money and votes. Al Gore is geting richer by selling you carbon credits and soon both parties will profit from us, don't fall for their traps. In reality Dems and Pukes both suck, it's all about money now, there are no real politicians representing us, the working class.

If the only emission of hydrogen fuel cars is water... wouldn't that be kind of dangerous in the winter weather states? Even with ice melt/calcium chloride it only works until the temprature doesn't drop below a certain temprature... and how about in standing still traffic? The ice will build up on the road way?

someone told me it was the number of times the container could be reused prior to throwing it out but that seems completely wrong as my milk jug has a 2 in it.

There's a saying I've heard that, in England, you are never more than 5 yards away from a rat. The measurement may have been different, I can't actually recall the exact figure. But I was wondering if there was a similar measurement for spiders as I see spiders ALL the time but rarely a rat!
Just curious.

A longer growing season would seem to grow more food and lower the cost of food.
Warmer ocean temperature should increase rainfall expanding the area of land that can grow food.

Do you cut them before you toss them out? I do after seeing critters with their heads stuck in them. My friends think I'm strange for doing this/.

I don't think mankind is responsible for global warming. The more I learn about the issue, the less I feel we are the cause. Make an effective argument to change my mind.

I actually saw these in an organic grocery store. You use them, wash them, then use them again. Thoughts?

I just need to get some trash cans for it - the city only provides you with a 5 gallon bucket, which is all I ever see on the streets on recycle day.

What I mean is, can I recycle the box from a pizza, ketchup bottles, all that miscellaneous stuff that I grew up throwing in the trash.

Oh, my city is Phildelphia, PA - if that means anything.
