Environment - May 2007

Ok this was something i have been discussing with some friends for a while and here is my theory. The temperature is rising thus making the ice caps melt. The melting of the ice caps makes a larger surface are of water on the surface of the planet. The larger surface area creates greater evaporation and more clouds. the clouds block the sun thus making cooler tempuratures on the surface of the planet. from these temperautres the surpless of water still on the earth starts to freeze and since the clouds still block the sun the ice doesnt melt, therefor we have reached another ice age. What?! an ice age you say its happend before? wow it has hasnt it. see i think this global warming is a natural way of the earth to replenish itself after so many years of growth. so what are ever one elses thoughts on this?

Al Gores Conservation plan:
1. Be rich.
2. Pollute all you want.
3. Make no actual changes in your way of living to actually reduce the pollution you produce.
4. Pay money to the big "Green" god to suposedley cover all the pollution you produce.
5. Consider yourself a pollution free producing conservationist example because of your generous financial donation to the "Green" god in the sky.
6. Tell others who are poor to actually change the way they live their every day life, to suffer, to sacrifice and to actually cut back on the things they do that enhance their families lives which produce pollution.
Anyone see how ridiculious and hypocritical this is? Al Gore, the liberal democrat touts a plan for the rich while overwhelming the poor, mostly blacks and hispanics, to sacrifice their way of life while he and other like him enjoy the benefits of being rich. Is this the way of the democrats, the liberals?

Since the Oceans are heating up at a rapid rate causing alot of coral to die killing a lot of fish that feed off of them to die and all that dead decaying matter falls to the bottom off the Oceans decomoposes producing more toxic gases and the warm water can no longer hold the toxic gas because of the temperature is higher then add that to all the toxic gases from human activity and the fact there are not enough trees to use up all these toxic gases does that mean we are due another mass extinction? How long would it really take to kill most species off including our own?

I leave all my lights, tv, radio, and computer on 24 hours a day. I waste tons of water. I never recycle. I order free catalogs, magazines, and products off of the interntet so I can just throw them away. I always look for overpackaged products so I can have more trash away. I read about the environment so I can find out how to hurt it more.

Our county just passed new zoning. The new zoning has enabled 400' wind turbines to come into our town. Everyone is in an uproar due to the negitive publicity that surrounds this technology. There will be 135-140 of these massive turbines located near our small town of 20,000 people. Ours is an University town so in the summer that amount dramatically dips down. The turbines will be located within 1500' to the nearest homeowners that lives on the outskirts of town and within 3 miles of the town itself. I personally will be living 2 miles from the nearest white monster, with open countryside between me and IT. Can anyone fill me in as to what to expect from this new development?
