I never see advertisments for motorbikes on television, and all I see is advertisments for cars. Motorbikes are more dangerous, but mainly because there are too many car drivers around that are ignorant of motorcylists. Why don't I see enough variety of sensible commuter bikes being advertised to the general public? All the hype is around little scooters, cruisers, and sportbikes. What about just general purpose motorcycles for everyday transport?

In average the human body produces about 420 Joule per hour. The World population went up from 4 Billion in 1970 to 6.7 billion now.
Also the amount of vehicles increased in the same period
by about % 500.
The number of houses with central heating increased by the same amount in the same period.
Could it be so that the heat produced this way remains as heat energy within the earth and add to the global warming?

The Phoenix AZ high of 122 degrees happened June 26, 1990.
If the Earth's temp was rising, shouldn't it be near 150 by now?

I'm traveling to Europe this summer with my husband, and I'm interested in offsetting the carbon footprint of our flight (not everybody on the plane, just us, I'm not Bill Gates....). How many trees should I plant to offset the trip, and where is a reliable website to do so?

New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, a Democrat, signed a law on Friday making the state the latest to bypass the Bush administration by setting mandatory regulations to fight emissions of gases scientists link to global warming.

{...}

The Global Warming Response Act mandates economywide cuts of greenhouse gas emissions by about 16 percent by 2020 and 80 percent by 2050 in the country's most densely populated state.

{...}

California -- the world's eighth largest economy -- recently enacted a tough greenhouse gas law. Like New Jersey's, it also mandates an emissions cut by 2020. But its long term goal of cutting emissions 80 percent by 2050 is a target, not a hard mandate. Environmentalists said the New Jersey law is tougher than California's because its 2050 target is enforceable.

Jersey ahead of California on an environmental issue? Wow. I know I'm impressed, how about you?

In this question, I am assuming that the "greenhouse effect" does actually exist and is caused by carbon dioxide.

The EU recently announced that it would like to cut carbon emissions by 50%. Countries/people are criticising each other for using cars with high fuel consumption, using lots of fossil fuels, etc.

However, fossil fuel supplies are low. There is only enough fossil fuel left to last us about 100 years (forgive me if I'm wrong; the number here doesn't affect the argument.)

Therefore, whether we do all actually manage to cut our emissions of carbon dioxide significantly or not, the same amount of carbon dioxide will be released into the atmosphere (and this will be proportional to the amount of fossil fuel remaining at the moment), the only thing affected by cutting emissions will be the amount of time taken for this to happen.

Therefore cutting our carbon emissions will make no difference and we're all screwed no matter what.

Now please tell me where I am wrong.

The lightning storms here are becoming more intense, Global warming sucks. We have changed all the lights in our house to compact fluorescent bulbs and have wrapped the hot water pipes. I use a push mower to cut the grass and do all the gardening by hand NO electric or gas power. We compost and recycle as much as possible. We are leasing a more fuel efficient car. The heat is set for 20 degrees and air conditioning is set at 25 degrees Celsius. Why is it that it seems I am the only on in my town to give a crap. Is this a hopeless cause?

For example, on a daily basis I see huge SUVs, huge trucks and what not, being driven by ONE person. Forget the fact the person usually can't drive or park the enormous vehicle, but they have no passengers in their gas guzzling car! I feel there should be a law or something that enforces either carpooling, or helps persuade people to buy more fuel efficient cars. I'm not saying those large vehicles shouldn't be bought period. I'm just saying that if someone has one for whatever reason, they at least use it for THAT reason and that reason only. Say, a large truck for a farm. Well, you don't need to drive that truck to get some McDonalds. Ok? A huge suburban. Ok mom, you don't have to drive that huge car to get your nails done. I get that some people can't afford more than one car, but if you can afford to pay the gas for one of those monsters, i think you could afford to pay for a small gas conserving car to use as your point A and B car. What do you guys think?

Due to our past habit of burying all our rubbish including electronic kit, there must be a lot of minerals/metals in landfill sites. Are the amounts worth mining? Do they compare with the tons of rock that needs shifting to get at gold or other precious metals. Would it be worth buying up old landfill sites for when the supply of gold or our metals run out?
