Our neighborhood has a retention pond for run off water.
Recently a few children (not ours) from the neighborhood decided to take a dip. Now one of them is sick.
So we can better inform our children, what are the dangers of swimming in such a pond?

So, when I was prosecuting, I shouldn't have had to prove that the defendant killed the victim, I should have been allowed just to prove twice that she was dead, and then get a conviction?

Does that make any sense to you?

Doesn't make any sense to me.

I know we are all on the right path with electric cars and bio fuels and stuff like that. But is this all just wishful thinking.

A know-it-all acquaintance made that statement recently and I don't know whether to believe it.

Because in the US alone, carbonated beverages produced 6000 million tons of CO2 last year. How come nobodys bellyaching about that? What, it's fine to sound like an environmentalist until you might have to sacrafice something????? What could possibly justify carbonated beverages if CO2 is such a naughty molecule? Maybe we aren't getting all the truth? Maybe Uncle Al can't do without a Diet Coke? Or somebody owns stock? Or maybe, just MAYBE, Global Warming has nothing to do with humans or our CO2???? HHHHmmmmmm????

I am 25 and am no longer working but I have this burning desire to go to Africa or somewhere to help make a difference... I know, I know start in your own backyard. But I have done that and I want to do more. My heart has always been with kids so even a children's hospital in southern California where I live would be a good place to start. Any ideas?

There are no CO2 gases building, no cows, no planes, no deforrestation? All the evidence points to the warming trend of our sun. Isn't there some way Al Gore can find to blame us here on Earth for it?

There is conclusive evidence that the facts aren't there for global warming and that the earth goes through cycles (for example temps have DROPPED for the past 8 years in the southern hemisphere). However, if there is no GW, people don't get money to meet their agendas. But, most people don't investigate the facts. They choose rather to believe interpretations of facts through a filter (the media). IF most people are smart; is the media to blame?

I am not going to debate if global warming is happening or not, but shouldnt we be looking to save our environment and rainforest anyway?

Havnt we been in an evironmental crisis since the beginning of the industrial age.?

Ultimatley shouldnt we be looking to move toward more sustainable solutions that dont harm the environment anyway despite global warming....

Isn't renewable energy our solution to dependency on foreign oil sources and fossil fuel?

How can anyone try to discredit the importance of sustainability, the environment and renewable energy in future societies?

"The UN says so" is not proof.

Anyone else saying so is not proof.

Accusing me of hating the planet or being a Christian fundamentalist is not proof.

Accusing me of being paid by Exxon is not proof.

Accusing me of working for the Bush Administration is not proof.

Pointing out that the Iraq war is going badly is not proof.

Accusing me of having similarities to the tobacco lobby is not proof.

None of those things are even relevant.

Repeating that it's us over and over again is not proof that it is.

Accusing me of putting my head in the sand is not proof.

Proving that it is warmer than it was 100 years ago is not proof that we are the cause of it.

Denying that it was warmer 1000 years ago than it is today not only is not proof but is another reason for me to not give you the benefit of the doubt even though you don't have proof.

Proof. P R O O F.

Put up or shut up.

Web sites like Blackle.com and Earthle.com claim that black pixels use less energy than white pixels. But does the science really back this up? It still takes energy to create a black pixel. A black screen is not really the same as a blank screen (turned off, for example).

Hit me the other day because I had already ask her nicely to get off the computer and phone and do her report for school- After about 10 times asking her - I got up to unplug the everything- she got angry and hit me in the face and pulled my hair- She called me names and I had her pack her some stuff to go to her grandmas - I told her to just live there- and to call me when she grows up- Now she wants to come back home- I o miss her - But I cannot take being beat on by my own daughter- We both are like 130 pounds. she is strong- but i will not fight her - never - but should i let her come back home? she has only been living with me for 3 months now - for the last four years - she has been living temporaril;y with the grandparents because of domestic violence issues. I got her back - then this- I feel like a failure- all i wanted her to do was her report- which she ended up doing in 20 minutes at grandmas- I should probably let her stay at grandmas for a while huh??? Thanks

If other planets are warming, as is ours, can we still assume that we are responsible for the warming taking place here? Honest question.
