So the US Gov denies GW - but the penatgon asks and is given money in readiness for GW conflicts as land and water are fought over and mass migration occurs.

They get so defensive!Instead of o.k.,we should take better care of the planet now!We have devastated it enough already!We will take this as a lesson to make changes!We will think of the poor people,creatures,and nature that have already been affected by it,and not be so arrogant about wether its really man-made or not!Its a good thing we found out now,before its too late!The guilt and the shame!

Will ethanol really be an alternative to gasoline? If the US does create vast amounts of ethanol, how will we transport it? We can't use pipes like gasoline because it's corrosive right? Do you guys have anyother thoughts about ethanol?

I am asking you people, why don't you care about global warming? Society/Government/People in charge/ANYONE ANYWHERE doesn't seem to care. Some people doesn't even seem to be aware of it or realize that it's happening. No one isn't doing anything. I mean, I haven't noticed any progress. And seriously, those who still don't "believe" in such thing as Global Warming/Climate Change, you really need to get updated. You rather believe in such thing as a "God" than an actual, upcoming event? That is ridiculous. There is facts and evidence that the climate is going to change radically, but so far there has never been any evidence of God's existence whatsoever. That just proves how fked up people are..

most people believe in it... but i want some good arguments both for it and against it. ive seen al gore's movie but have not really seen anything disproving it.

ps- the reason im asking is cuz my bro insists it is not real. thats bc the only stuff he reads is the ones that say its fake. so how legitimate is this info?

You can never be too safe. Suppose global warming does turn out to be true...what will the future generations think of us? All it takes is very simple changes. Whay can't we all promote global awareness? Why must we remain so skeptical of the whole thing?

One charge and it traveled 180 miles. Where can I find the plans for this vehicle. Why aren't they being manufactured today, a hundred and seven years later and we are being gouged at the pumps by pimps for the petrolium industry.

Cattle and other domestic animals contribute not only carbon dioxide, but in the case of cattle, methane. Termites also produce methane.......so how much does all of this add up to?

someone out there has an answer...
my question is about polar ice caps and water displacement.
i understand that when water freezes it expands around four times in sizes/volume... how does this affect its weight?
if an ice cap has a volume and wieght when frozen and displaces the water in the ocean as it floats, what happens when it melts and that weight is lifted ? ?
is the actuall amount of water released from the frozen block equal/more or less than the amount of water the frozen mass displaces ?
what im trying to say is, when its frozen and sitting in the ocean it must have the same effect as when i sit in a half filled bath of water, the water or the oceans level must rise.... when it melts, is the actual amount of water released as much as the amount the frozen mass has displaced in the first place ?
im sure the scientists have cleared this one up long ago, but to me its an unanswered question.

Decide which type of alternative energy resource would be best used in your area of the state or country. Include the state and the general area of the state that you live in.

Tell what resource you think would be best used to replace some of the fossil fuel

The future of Global Warming is uncertain. Perhaps Richard Lindzen is right, and natural sequestration processes will prevent significant warming. Phew!

Or perhaps the maximally pessimistic scenario is right: humans will continue to burn fossil fuels until they're all gone. In response, fast-acting positive feedback mechanisms will raise CO2 levels to 800 ppm over the next 500 years, raising average global temperatures by 35 C. Fortunately, there is not enough carbon on the Earth to turn us into Venus. The habitable zone will shrink to the Arctic and Antarctic. There will be many wars, and a few nuclear wars. But a few humans will successfully move far from the equator, and be able to defend themselves. They'll have technology, and breeder reactors. They'll farm in the winter and hunker down with air conditioning in the summer. After 10,000 years, it will all be over and new civilizations will emerge into a new, fossil-fuel-free world, with whatever species they've saved.

Catalytic conveters get rid of the poisonous gasses, yet they still pump out carbon dioxide. why don't they spend more money on making something to neutralise the CO2, like a second, different catlyitic converter, for CO2 instead of ofsetting everything or having conservative leaders ride a bicycle?

How could ANY study in a peer reviewed journal come to any conclusion other than that Greenland is melting, and we're all going to drown tomorrow?

Obviously shills for Big Oil have somehow infiltrated these journals and allowed this horrifically shoddy study, based on (of all things) the FACTS, through to publication!

To arms, to arms, the Truth is coming!

I live in a small town (about 45,000) and I swear, the only thing I see are big *** suv's and trucks all over town.

My question is: Why is it that most people do not care about conserving oil? Why do people need to drive big cars? Is it because they do not care, or because everyone else drives them?

Then people in my town complain about how they have to spend $60 to fill up their trucks/suv's. Come one people! Use common sense!
