will people be moving back to the north or have a much reduced population because there isn't enough water and other resources like oil to be able to grow so much food as it is?

They are evil, and need to be stopped.

Now I am going to give anyone who disagrees a thumbs down despite the validity of the argument; and the best answer will go to someone who uses the words "I agree," followed by exactly what I said, but phrased slightly different. Ready, GO!

For example, an ice cream carton, a microwaveable dinner box....How do you know if it's recyclable if there is no sign on the carton/box itself?

I read an article on the increase destruction of the forest Yesterday. The article put most of the blame on China, for being the largest consumer of lumber. THe thing I thought was strange, was China was not being blamed for cutting down the trees, and China has a very small domestic market for the wood products. The US and other develop nation are the ones who are recieving the furniture that China makes from the lumber. Who do you think is the most to blame. THe nations responsible for cutting down the trees. The nation who manufacture goods from these trees. Or the nation who recieved the end product.


Personal opinion. We are, we outsource the work to China to avoid getting blame for the environmental damage. We created the demand more so than China did.

the federal wildlife refuge [bayou cocodria] located near Ferriday LA. states in it's pamphlet that it contains the last bottom land hardwoods in LA. However. they have started logging operations in it. These hardwoods will not grow back during our lifetime or our childrens lifetime. How can this be stopped?

...is an indication that they know that they are caught in a lie, or should we give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that they didn't know any better and were just going off of the lies told by corrupt scientists, and now that they are finding out, they are just shutting up about it??

I have decided to invest a lot of my free time into helping to fix this planet; environmentally, politically, socially, etc. and I am trying to find an organization where my skills and time will be best spent.

I know of an organization called We, The World which is trying to lay the network to bring together many other 'green' organizations toward the betterment of the world and humankind.

Before I sign up and start investing a lot of my time, I would like to know if anyone out there knows of a better organization to join.


Thank you.

Bobby_burke,a scientist,asked this a couple of days ago.
Has anybody studied deminshing returns of co2 in the atmosphere?
I know from my study of agriculture and economics (my degree is in agricultural economics) that any variable input results in diminishing returns when input is added at a higher and higher level. Has anyone studied atmospheric co2 in this manner? In agriculture, which is a natural science, if any variable (such as water or nitrogen) results in diminishing returns when added at higher and higher levels. I have received the same results in econometric models when variables are added when building econometric models. My hypothesis is that increasing levels of atmospheric co2 will result in global cooling not global warming. Any comments? Any research in this area
This gentalman dos'nt seem so conviced that GW is real.

Global warming is thought to be caused by humans releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, trapping heat and causing the temperature to rise worldwide.

This is blatently false, as mars is also warming. The only possible explanation is that the sun is becoming hotter as part of it's natural cycle. Mars has almost no atmosphere.

If the carbon theory of Global warming is real, then Titan should be a jungle. It is right next to a hot body and has a thick atmosphere of pure hydrocarbons. Over the estimated billions of years that Titan has been around that methane atmosphere should have held some heat.

I know i will get a lot of abuse, but doesn't the fact that mars is warming up and Titan is not indicate that the "greenhouse effect" doesn't exist, or is vastly overstated?

1. What products are out there that will test for a wide array of indoor air quality problems (I'm particularly interested in allergens and aerobiology affecting ashtma symptoms)?

2. Can a lay person test their own home?

3. Is there anything out there that would be re-usable (like an digital meter instead of, say, a petrie dish)?

4. Any other tips for testing?

Please somebody tell me I'm not the only one that loves the cold weather, snow, and all that comes with it. I have no problems to deal with -12F and drive slowly to work even for 6 months a year. And I mean I dont only like the cold when you can stay at home drinking herbal tea and watching TV, I like it aso when I'm outside and its hard to get out of your house or you have a thick layer of ice on your car in the morning. Ok I dont like ice on the ground and me walking on it. What I cant stand is the hot weather, temperatures over 83F, sticky humid weather. Unfortunately I live in Florida. Am I weird? Anybody else like me out there?

I searched for questions, but they have all been resolved. I have seen several people get bashed for disagreeing with the concept. By no means am I an uneducated person, but I would like an honest, unbiased opinion/answer that would go against my own... Global warming cannot be definitively proven to be solely caused by human beings.

Before the "bashing" begins, I will state the some of the reasons for my position.

Scientific studies of the earth are quite inconclusive as there is nothing to compare them to other than patterns of our own planet in the past(where conditions were considerably different from nowadays) e.g. studying an earth-like planet that is in a time period/situation different than our own for a second opinion if you will. Earth has had very many cooling periods and warming periods long before human beings ever came into existence. At some point in time, earth was more than likely covered with more forests and animals than we can even fathom if compared to
