China unsatiable demand for wood products is causing deforestation of the Indonesian/Africa/South American rainforests, the size of West Virginia a day, Don't you think we are heading for disaster if we continue this path ? Can you say World Wide Depression with 1000% Inflation

Much is being said about this issue and yet I see smoke going up everyday, thick black smoke at times. From industrial chimneys, car fumes etc. space crafts even deliver directly into the sky.

Here in Africa there is little concern for global temperature (so it seems).

If the globe is warming because of the various things already sent into the atmosphere, are we working to just stop sending more of such things into the atmosphere or are we also trying to remove what is there already?

There is no need for wooden frame works. Double brick walls are a far better option to keep a house cool or warm with the opportunity to put insulation in between as well. Double brick walls give a sound construction. This would save millions of trees!

We got an early start this year in the Atlantic and the Pacific. Will we have another Katrina disaster? As a Floridian I fear that my home, work, environment will be distroyed. Will the building codes stand up against a hurricane that is altered by the new climate? What if a Katrina were to hit Washington D.C. ? Is that what it would take for the federal govenment to take this issue seriously?

So much science and math go into this debate that you are stupid if your only justification is what Al Gore and Sheryl Crow have to tell you. Stop thinking you are so much smarter than everyone else and get a B.S., not an art degree, and come back to the table and speak intelligently.

Even though the world has warmed up and cooled down many times in its history, it has been warming up extensively. Global warming is not caused by the sun itself; if that were so, all hope would be lost. It is caused by greenhouse gases trapping in Earth's heat. Some argue that other gases in our pollution would dim out the sun, canceling out global warming. However, that is no longer the case as those gases are removed from pollution to meet government standards. Greenhouse gases are still being released. While many news sources try to equally release the opinion of scientists, making it seem 50-50, that is not true. It is not necessary, in fact, as science is not politics. There are very few skeptics among scientists(of course, stop bribing them and they'll agree). People, global climate change is not a matter of whether you believe. It is a matter whether you decide to listen to the facts or deny them. If you listen, it makes the problem easier to solve together.

And how would our kids get to school? And how would our groceries get to the stores so we can buy them? ETC ETC..... I guess my real question is why are people mad at the oil companies? They are providing a service that we can't live without.

I was reading some of the 'answers' to my parody, and I came across the common theme that people don't believe we have the technology to live on other planets.

I guess you're gonna say the moonlanding was filmed in holywood too? Although the moon is 'techncially' not a planet... people did 'live' on it for a short period of time.

It's not that I didn't expect stupid replies... it was a rather stupid parody insulting alot of people, but these people seriously sounded like they believed we don't have the technology to build an enclosed city on another planet... or even do simple terraforming.

Well, we might not be smart enough to terraform seeing how brilliant a job we did with Mother Earth but its not improbable.

Of course living on venus is strictly absurd. If the atmosphere doesn't kill you, it'll disolve whatever you put in it.

In my country there is lots of polution. As a current NY resident, there is even more polution, I lived in Copenhagen and most people ride their bikes to work, shopping, for fun, etc it seems the Global Warming has caused a huge effect on Danes.

I currently reside in London, such a beautiful city but why isnt there more conciousness to encourage people to ride their bikes instead of driving? Wouldnt it be better in many ways? i.e. Less traffic, less polution, less harm to the earth...

What do you think? how are you contributing to the city on London to reduce damage?

One simple question. How is 'water conservation' environmentally friendly?

We FILTER the water before and after it is introduced into the system. And it's not like used water is bad water. After we're finished cleaning the mess up, it goes back out to homes (or back into the environment.. etc). The only reason to use less water is the filtering / cleaning takes time.
