I've been told we have new weapons in the atmosphere that use electromagnetic pulses. So I'm thinking there could be a connection between it and the disappearing hunny bees?

I do. I just accidentally found out that I am living across the road from a hazardous waste site. My husband said it was because the former company had abandoned radioactive film there. Doesn't make you feel very good does it? They just built a new public school less than a mile from here also. It is amazing what they don't tell the citizens and it it all over the Internet if you know where to look for it.

It seems like that's how many of our ancestors got their water. With all of the contaminants that may be present in the water (decaying life, fecal matter from aquatic life, mud, etc), it doesn't seem very healthy to drink.

Anyone got any input about this?

Hey folks, first question from me here.

I was wanting to run a little experiment this summer involving car batteries, 100 watt solar panels, and my computer, but I lack a certain amount of technical knowledge. I was wondering, is it possible to hook up a computer to car batteries that can be recharged using solar panels?

My computer and monitor draw about 163 watts per hour. What I was intending to do was have two batteries hooked up to supply power to the computer, with two more batteries being charged via solar panels during the day. The objective was to run my computer without having it plugged into an outlet.

Is this even remotely possible to do? What kind of batteries should I use?

Thanks.

If you're concerned with conserving energy or preserving the environment... do you use a clothes dryer regularly? Why don't you use a clothesline to save energy? Or do you use both? What are your reasons?

My understanding is that people such as Al Gore who have multiple mansions, fly around in private jets to lecture everyone else about conservation, and use more energy than an average 100 people easily, actually believe that they can pay money to offset the energy that they use. He actually says that he can use all of this energy and be "carbon neutral"

The question comes in what that money is actually used for. I mean, we all know that he owns part of the company so some of it goes back to him, but WHAT DO THEY DO? What is it that the carbon credits are actually supposed to accomplish?

The only effect I see is that the rich people who are screaming about global warming can enjoy whatever lifestyle they want, while promoting Gore's movie, and while screaming that we shouldn't, and they get to have a clear conscience.

A possible extrapolation of the mechanism of human heat stroke to global warming is raised here. When human body temperature rises due to rise in ambient temperature, the brain activates the sweat response and this leads to cooling down of the body due to evaporation of sweat. However, if the temperature is above a certain critical point, the regulating response of the brain is disrupted and sweating ceases altogether. The result is a sharp rise of temperature above 108 deg F leading to death by heat stroke. Could a similar mechanism operate in global warming in which rainfall could be compared to the sweating response?. If the atmospheric temperature is above a critical limit, rainfall could cease to happen (water cannot condense above a certain temperature) and this will prevent the only mechanism that is capable of lowering atmospheric temperature - temperature could go above 60 deg C leading to our species extinction. This could happen ANY MOMENT. Any comments?

I have alternative theory and question of evolution,
my theory is that the world evolved to the state that we are in billions of years ago, and the ppl of that time as the same as in this time caused their own distruction, they had nuclear weapons, cars, ipods, and mobile phones, but with the distruction of the planet in their time it wiped them completely out, after which we had the dinosaurs who were able to dominate the earth and grow to their size, as there was nothing to defeat them, and the prehistoric man (survivors of the distruction) had to work with what they had, creating a fire with sticks, inventing the wheel, and hunt for food, eating raw meat without means to cook, and slowly we reached the time we are in today, where we have everything, and yet we are in such a volatile world, that evolution may be distructed again, and will take the same cycle in another billion years. this is an excert from my book in progress what do you think. comments please

It might cost some corporations a few bucks to get started in their plants elimination of greenhouse gases, but after that their plants would be running much more efficient, and we'd all be able to breath cleaner air. We also need much more efficient cars and trucks that run on other things besides fossil fuels.

There are hundreds of oil pump jacks in Texas and Southern Arkansas that are still sitting sleeping since the late eighties despite the "gas shortage". To me, this doesn't make too much sense.
