What do you think is the most important environmental problem that affects coastal environment and their watersheds? Why? How would you solve the problem?

This is not a question for school or anything. Just my own thoughts.

My answer to this question would have to be about the littering that goes into the ocean. As the tide washes ashore, I feel that more and more garbage comes with it. Last week, I managed to find some underwear that washed ashore and I was thoroughly disgusted!
What do you think?

hybrid vehicles have 2 or more form of energy sources to propel into motion,but requires plug ins for their batteries. Anything that runs while charging their own batteries for propulsion, like the submarines of world war 2?

It would mean less dependance on oil, and a cleaner environment. Are the multibillion dollar oil companies using their money to make sure we don't develop something that could greatly change our lives so they can stay in power? I mean hybrids are nice but that can't be the best they can come up with? E85 sounds great, but what's the point of buying a car that can use E85 when barely any gas stations carry it, and those who do are only selling it for around 30 cents less than normal gas.

Ok, We all know there was an Ice Age before. So what caused that one?
They definitly didnt have cars and industries, and there was still an ice age, I think no matter what scientists claim is causing global warming, I just think it was planned from the start...I dont know Im so confused...

The vast majority of climate scientists agree that anthropogenic CO2 is the cause of climate change, and that global warming is potentially a very great danger to mankind and the Earth.

Many of these scientists work for the U.S. government. If they have intentionally misled the public for personal gain or in a conspiracy to restrict the freedoms of the American public, the FBI, under the leadership of the Bush administration, should expose their deceptions. Why hasn't this happened?

Some answers in these pages show a contempt for Al Gore verging on hatred. I can only conclude that these people must have some personal reason for such impolite behaviour.

For those who may not remember the past few decades, let me remind you about some of the public record. Al Gore served in Congress, as a congressman and senator from Tennessee from 1977 to 1993. Among all American congressmen, he was among the greatest supporters of the early internet. His wife, Tipper, became notable for her campaign against obscenity in music recordings. From 1993 to January 2001, a period of relative prosperity and peace, Al Gore served as Vice President of the US. He was primarily concerned with efficiency in government and balancing the budget. He received a plurality of votes in the 2000 Presidential election. When the election results threatened to become a constitutional crisis, he conceded to George Bush. Are these the actions of a power-mad global warming conspirator?

My mum once told me that she was shopping in a department store with me, when she noticed that I had left her side. As she was looking around the store for me, she saw a crowd of people standing around laughing. As she got nearer, she noticed me sitting in the middle of the indoor pond playing with the goldfish. She had to buy me new clothes from underwear to shoes. Bet she was none to pleased!!!

Some people, in answers on these pages, have suggested that global warming, instead of being a well-established scientific fact and a potential threat to the entire world, is in fact some kind of "tax scam". In other words, some sort of politcal elite (greenies, the left, Democrats, all politicians, satan-loving atheistic commies...) have invented the evidence out of whole cloth, and intend to scare people into agreeing to increased taxation, accompanied by political repression.

This does not make sense to me. First, the "conspiracy" must involve a great many people all over the world. Second, the solution need not involve any actual increase in taxes; taxes discouraging carbon use could replace other taxes. Third, the solution need not involve significant diminution of freedoms, aside from the current freedom to (collectively) destroy the world. We don't allow people the freedom to burn down their house, for example. Fourth, it will happen anyway, when the oil runs out.

In your rush to change the world to what you think it should it be like, are you not creating your own form of terror? Many of you claim we serve a false god, (Christianity or Judaism) While your grand high priest Al-otola Gore-mani peddles his new religion (earth worship, and tree worship) down our throats, in our faces, and in our wallets. Some in your camp try to hurt and maim innocent working men and women by driving spikes into trees scheduled to be cut, hoping to destroy the tools, or cause physical harm, and even death. Some in your camp destroy and vandalize logging equipment. I see it, so I know it happens. Many in your camp are so possessed by your cause, that they are willing to inflict what ever suffering it takes to get your way. How many towns and communities that once where thriving logging communities, coal communities or paper communities that were boycotted, protested, or threaten until they closed resulting in more foreign imports, and less American jobs.

Personally I think the earth has been around so long we couldn’t possibly know the reasons its doing what its doing. Years ago we thought the earth was flat and were pretty convinced there was no other explanation! Heck they even closed the US patent office for a while in the early 1800's because they thought everything that could be invented was already thought of. So we can’t be that naive to think we have the answers now do we? What’s your thoughts, what do you think it could be since we sure don’t hear any of the other points often?

I do want to add that we couldn’t possibly be helping mother earth they way we are now & we need to cut down on carbon dioxide & pollution no matter the immediate danger or not!

I believe that the conversion to Ethanol is an inevitability and a fantastic source of energy. Of course the oil giants don't agree, because it'll hit them where it hurts most. But when it does happen, will fuel prices be reasonable for the era? I mean really, will we suddenly have a shortage of corn?
