Environment - August 2007

I want to make a project about it and would like to include some videos and pictures and such. Is there a website that deals with global warming through videos and lots of pictures? I know global warming isn't a funny issue, but a humorous video will catch people's attention.... is there a website like this?

Thanks in advance

I have been driving the same route to work for nearly 17 years. During that time I have thrown bottles, rope, food wrappers, boxes, cans, old newspapers, rags, wood, motor oil containers, old shoes and boots, and lots of other stuff out the window of my car. But after all this time, the highway still looks the same as it always did....not one bit worse. So where is the need for the litter laws and fines?

It seems to me that most people involved with this movement are flaky, slackers that have socialist leanings. One only need to look at the questions in these forums to see that many are ill informed and believe that catch phrases equal fact. Yet those that think global warming (just like the next ice age that was coming in the 70's) is just a platform for people like Al Gore to profit from and grab headlines are viewed as the ignorant ones. Why should gas taxes be raised to limit consumption instead of tax breaks being taken from companies that don't meet standards in a timely manner? It is hard for me to take seriously these arguements for the "green" movement when they are presented by people I would not let near my children (a.k.a. hippies) or people that scream alternate fuels yet race around in private jets and won't allow windmills to be built because they block the view (a.k.a. hippocrites).

I don't know too much about the subject but my family and organization (Fix Our World Society) are going green because we know its a problem. If you want to insult al gore go ahead I don't care because it isn't his idea. To bring up al gore is to say you don't have any good scientific reason for doubt. If you want to bring in the bible and say god will never flood the whole earth again power to you! Unfortunately it wouldn't flood the whole earth. The only thing a person who brings up scripture knows about global warming is what they saw in The Day After Tommorow. Please don't be a part of the issue and learn something about global warming

what i really need to know is if I bail someone out(and i don't care about losing the money or anything i put up for the bond) will i get in any legal problems. So far it's worth it because if i don't get my friend out I'm pretty sure he'll do 12-30 months in prison for 3rd offense drunk driving

I have a BS degree in Biology with a minor in Conservation Ecology. You are all being lied to with propaganda disguised ad science. Al Gore WILL be a laughing stock in 10 years.

In the mid 1960's it was "Global Cooling" - we were to be destroyed by a new ice age.

In the 80's it was "Acid Rain" - it will kill all plants, marine life and make your hair fall out (women flipped)

In 1999 it was Y2K - complete and total shut-down of all systems - with a stone age to follow.

Today, it is "global warming". A masterpiece of Al Gore and others with private agenda's and scare tactics.

Is Global Warming, as presented by our 'leaders', a sham and just yet another natural cycle of the earth?

I already heard one news anchor attempt to link the two together by saying "It's been extremely warm here this summer, could that be a possibility."

Worry about global warming? Check out Al Gore’s private jet statistics. His Jet is putting emissions directly into the upper troposphere. When injected together into the icy atmosphere, the mix of exhaust gases - including water vapor, unburned hydrocarbons, particulates, sulfates, nitrogen oxides (NOX), and carbon dioxide, not to mention Al Gore’s own WASTE - produces clouds and has two to three times the warming effect of carbon dioxide alone and you can check me on this.

Look if you are really concerned on the Global warming effect, then stop all your efforts and go NUCLEAR. The cleanest source of energy there is. So you are afraid of this? What if it melts down? Well, 50,000 people will die alright. But when was the last time this happened? (Trust me some of you were not alive when I saw it in Russia) – by the time you finish reading this, thousands of people would have died today thanks to CO2, not NUCLEAR disasters.

Way to go Al Gore!! You keep flying those planes!!

My daughters swimming pool has been vandalized by some kids. They had poored transmition oil in her swimming pool. I have drainded it out and scrubbed it with Dawn dish soap, but you can still see oil in the water. Is there any way to get rid of all the traces of oil?

This morning, while going through some boxes, I found some old shoes (mostly Converse All Stars) that are way too old and beat up to put in a yard sale or to take to Goodwill or a charity that gives away stuff for people who can't afford anything, like homeless shelters or my church's clothing giveaway.

Yet, I don't want to just dump them in a landfill if I can do something with them. Once, a few years ago, I heard about a program that Nike does-- Take old shoes and recycle them into play ground equipment and stuff.

I checked www.earth911.com and the only results I got for the Columbus, OH zip code (we're moving from a Michigan suburb to Columbus; I may as well move them back, what's one more box?) and just found a couple of listings for Salvation Army.

Anyway, I would appreciate any advice.

Thank you.

the world isn't screwed like some people think. If we work together to save it, i believe we can do it. If everyone cared about it it would already probably been being cut down.

What we can do to stop it.

1. Turning off lights
2. Using energy saving light bulbs
3.RECYCLING
4.putting decomposable trash into a compost pile
6. buy greener cars
7. DON'T LITTER
8.Carpool so you waste less gas
9. write to the mayor/governor/president to put sccrubbers on ALL smokestacks
10.pay bills online instead of through mail

Can anyone think of anything else? that's all i got.

I really want to save this earth. Do you? if you do please post another way to conserve our earth..with some willpower and some faith, we can save earth and maybe even totally reverse the global warming process! Now.
Do you want to make a difference? (that's a rhetorical question)
