Environment - June 2007

Does anyone know of environmentally friendly bulbs that give good quality light like incandescents? Fluorescents leave me feeling depressed in the winter time... Brands, etc...

The text of the petition read as follows:

We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan in December, 1997, and any other similar proposals. The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.
There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.

If these people are all in the oil and gas business, do they just not care about the planet that they live on?

This is why I don't buy into any more because each week there is another source and they have to keep modifing the models.

Yet is Al Gore says so I am to believe it?

The debate is still open for those who are thinking.

I don't think I can get them from any recycling sites like craig list or freecycle - because people don't even think of keeping burnt-out bulbs - they through them away immediatelly, as they are not recyclable. I need quite a lot of them. Any ideas? By the way - I am in UK

several thousand years ago ice sheets streched from north pole to equator, how many internal-combustion engines did neanderthal man produce? 300 years ago the thames used to freeze over to such an extent that 'frost fairs' could be held upon it- how many air miles did they clock up.
when was the hole in the ozone layer discovered?when instruments were developed to identify and measure it, so who knowswhat it's dimensions should be
it's all part of the earths natural cycle and one of the biggest influences is the seas natural changing currents

If you had the opportunity to actually particapate in this would you? Would you actually take the time to do it?

ok, i asked if sending a liquid nitrogen missle into to ice caps would freeze them and thus end the crazy theory about global warming

but aparently that wouldn't work - see my other questions to find out why...

but how about this - if the ice caps melt then theres to much water - then the world becomes submerged and all that

so what if a pipe was built to pump all this unwanted water into space, that way we could drive 4x4s all day and not worry - what do you think

The UN fostered global warming scheme seems to be "heating" up again. For me I see it as a legitimized panhandling scheme for the "beligerent beggers" of the UN elitist global politicians. Their quest for GW taxation(money), treaties(power) is just another way for them to make a grand living at being unproductive. Next thing they'll try getting into your bedroom, then try to tax you for watching the show. Anybody else seeing what I'm seeing???

Fact: CO2 occupies 0.035% of the atmosphere. If it doubled it would only be 0.07%. We can all live with that. 99.9% of all the world’s CO2 is at ground level or below, 71% being dissolved in the oceans.

Britain and northwestern Europe, which have same latitude with Alaska, is much warmer from the Gulf Stream, and as warm as Pacific coast from other flow of sea water.
