By 2009 there will be a hydrogen filling staion within 90 miles everywhere in the Netherlands. http://www.ecn.nl/en/ . Hydrogen comes from electrolosis in separating the water to create a gas that can ultimately power a motor. Bio-deisel will only slow the oil consumptiion. Hydrogen wil subsitute it. By 2010 The Netherlands will have created a portable filling station powered by sunlight. Plus hydrogen has almost no emissions which is brilliant for the ecosystem. How would you like to pay only $4.00 to fill up your new hydrogen powered automobile? HYDROGEN IS ALMOST FREE. Now thats a energy worth pursuing.

Measurements of the earths inner core have revealed a 75,000 degree temperature increase in just the last 2 months .Over the last 10 years it has gone up 3 million degrees and we are approaching a point of no return . Some predict that it is possible with the electro magnetic field in flux that we could ignite and go up like the sun .

I recently read the answers to a similar question, and everyone was quick to say that anti-global warming people are wrong. What have you researched?

Just curious how many people drink bottled water and why. Did you know that Dasani and Aquafina (bottled by Coke and Pepsi, respectively) are just re-filtered tap water? In other words, you could be getting the same water almost for free out of your tap at home.

Additionally, 70% of these water bottles don't get recycled. Plus the heavy water has to be transported around in trucks and planes, depending on where it comes from. All that energy used for water you could just be getting from the tap. Not to mention the fact that tests have shown that bottled water is no cleaner than tap water.

• 22% of the bottled water tested contained contaminants at levels that violated safe drinking water health standards for the state in which they were purchased.

• 33% of bottled water tested did not meet the state’s safety standard for bacterial contamination, chemical contamination, or both.

So if you drink bottled water, why?

"Mark Lynas is a journalist who has read widely on climate science and climate projections. His research has taken more than 8 years. He speaks with Michelle Field about his scenarios for the world's ecosystems based on each degree of average change in global temperature. He explains why the move from 2 degrees to 3 degrees is crucial, due to tipping points. Two processes are likely to happen at this point. The Amazon rainforest will collapse and burn, releasing more carbon, and the world's soils will also be releasing carbon. This will push the Earth across other thresholds which will make the warming unstoppable."

"For his new book Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet, he has read everything relevant at Oxford University's Radcliffe Science Library. He understands climate projections in a way that I've never seen a journalist do before"

8+ years of research. GW skeptics - do you distrust Lynas?

The changing of the North & South poles will cause a lot of scientific principles to change as it will also cause an unbelieveable amount of damage to the earth itself & it has already started. Couldn't this be the true cause of what is perceived to be global warming? Even something as trivial as the Bermuda triangle could be due to the shifting of the earth's magnetic poles.

Our planet is only habitable because of the greenhouse effect, if there were no greenouse gases it would be so cold that life would never have evolved.

So why do some people claim that human greenhouse gas emissions don't warm the planet but natural ones do.

Why won't the leading proponents of this tripe meet for a debate with actual scientists? You know who you are Al Gore.

Why when a leading climate scientist speaks out only to say they should not spread panic, is he forced into a retraction?

Why when the Head of NASA speaks out against it, is he pressured into silence.

Why when the Head of the non political Magazine the New Scientist begs for open debate on the subject, no one will step forward?

Why when the public asks where all the 100's of billions possibly trillions of $'s £'s €'s and Yen of taxes stealth taxes and new government measures is being spent the room suddenly falls silent?

Why if it is so true won't any one ever debate it openly?

Answer just 2 of those and you may just convince me I'm am wrong.

Until then I will find answers in the Science community and places like the Heartland Institute a NOT for Profit organisation unlike the Global warming scare mongers who are raking it in.
Open the debate.

Translation: it will be the second hottest year since the end of the Little Ice Age in the 1860s, and while it's still almost as warm as it was nine years ago, the warm-ING ended then.

CO2 (apparently) is causing climate change. Yet when the earth warms, the largest CO2 contributor, the sea, naturally omits more CO2 the warmer it becomes, as well as other natural factors like melting of the perma frost. If CO2 really is the cause of the warming, how did the earth ever cool again after previous warmings??
