Environment - July 2007

My question is how? I note that the estimates put this large climate warming peak back about 1-3 ice ages ago.

Does anybody know HOW we ever survived such an intense warming period? Without the Consensus telling us what we had to do or die? Without Carbon Credits to large companies to bulldoze the jungles to save us? Without computers charting our way based on simplified data and guesstimates in programming?

Do you suppose we could get more of value by promoting the researches of the groups involved as to what happened and how man survived?

Seems from the report that Greenland was forested then and the Vikings only 1000 years ago raised vegetables in Greenland. Yet I have been told that the soils to be exposed by warming now are sterile and unusable.

Or is it just simply not possible that we can survive this one without giving up our freedoms to certain politicians and our money to selected big international industries?

I recycle nearly all my waste - paper, plastic bottles, glass, organic waste, foil etc., but there doesn't seem to be anything I can do with all those plastic tubs that fruit comes in (strawberries, blueberries etc) and microwave meals. It seems to make up most of my waste now I that recycle nearly everything else. I can't find a second use for them. Does your council collect them in the recycling?

isnt it strange how climate change and the need to cut down on carbon emmisions and power consumption co incides with scientific research that says oil and fossil fuels are dwindling.isnt this just a ploy to get us to use less of what they have in reservese and pay throu the teeth for it what do you think.is it about saving the earth or is it about filling there pockets before it all runs out?

I remember smog being so bad in the 70's you could'nt see.
Cars were so inefficiant and polutting. Factories operated un regulated. But it was supposedly cooler. Now cars burn clean, you can't even commit suicide in you garage. In fact you can almost breath the exaust of modern cars. Factories are extremly regulated now. Yet the globe is warming? Just your answers please,,,,no copy and pasting links. I can copy and paste global cooling links too. Just ideas, just adress my question with what you think. THINK

I just read about a recent poll that shows that only 47% of the Americans consider Global Warming a serious problem while 68% of the French and 70% of the Spanish people think it is.

What do you think the reason is for this difference?

This action follows heavy lobbying by mine owners, property developers and mass agricultural groups like ADM. It also goes against a prior Supreme Court ruling.

Should these new rules regarding wetland protection be tossed out or eliminated? Are wetlands still vitally important?

Do you really need to make so much C02 to tell others to make less? Isn't it funny that they get a bunch of people that use enormous amounts of C02 each year to tell us to use less? It is sponsored by Chevy and Conoco Phillips. Do they try to be this hypocritical.

Seriously. The AIDS and hunger Crisis in Africa gets tons of attention from almost every sector with influence over people (governments, health organizations, entertainment, etc), but the only sector that is doing anything about global warming is the entertainment sector, and Al Gore. Where is the attention from the UN, and our government, and the scientific community? Could this be something that is being taken a little out of context by a few to get money? How much money is being made today for this live earth thing that will never make it to an environmental cause? I have yet to see a single scientist talk about global warming on Bravo in the time I have been watching. I want to keep our world clean, but I don't want to get someone else richer doing this.

Recently I saw someone removing the flip tabs off of his aluminum cans. When I asked why he said he got a much higher return for these tabs at a local hospital. I did not think then to ask where. But he said it was well worth the extra drive.

Due to the Global warming campaign tonite at Live Earth concert, we should practice carpooling in Singapore. Is was practiced years ago and stopped. The roads are getting too crowded. Please do a good deed by car pooling.

What i feel is that.... "Live Earth 2007" is the wrost thing they did. lol. Why?

They are still using up alot of power to host the thing. Making the people to dive or fly there to see their fav stars and etc.

But the songs are pretty good for the Live earth.

Post your ideas on what kind of event if there is a "Live Earth" again in the furture.

I was thinking at frist that the media have to send to send stars/bands to really to go and clean up the place. And the same time for them to tell the world why must we do it. Not using shows like "Live-Earth" to waste so many power and have people to drive and etc and etc and so on.
