Environment - September 2007

I believe in Global Pollution and we are somewhat guilty of that, but Global Warming is about as real as the Easter Bunny.

Jones is an extreme sports enthusiast who is paddle surfing down the coast of California to raise awareness for a plastic-free ocean, to local beach clean-ups in the Pacific Northwest. Coastal CODE (www.coastalcode.org) provided a grant to fund the trip.

God speed, Mr. Jones. May your efforts inspire us all!

and usually those doing this have little, or no idea, to whom they are replying to or about the issue.
I was called a teenage little girl that knew nothing about what I spoke of, etc.
FYI: I am a very well educated & informed 62 yr. old woman who has an extensive background in the earth sciences and happens to enjoy a debate but not when it turns to name calling & rudness. Anyone agree?

In this article, it says polar bears may be eliminated from 75% of their current range be the year 2050 primarily due to the destruction of habitat (i.e melting of the polar ice caps). Without ice, polar bear cannot hunt for their primary food source... seals.

In this next article, Black Bears are coming down from the mountains and into people's yards and homes in search for food. Areas stricken by draught and descimated by wildfires are unable to support the bears normal diet.

As good stewards of this fragile planet, should we raising food to serve to endangered animals so that they can survive in the face of habitat destruction and climate change?

most of my white friends curse and smoke in front of their moms and when i see white ppl on tv, like dr. phil and maury, they cant controll their kids or teens and they don't woop them.
I'm 18 and I stay out of trouble even to this day because of my moms dicipline as a child and I love and respect her more than anything. Why do most white ppl let their teenage or even adult children curse in front of them and say what they want with little respect without kicking their a*ses?

I think Al Gore wrote the book Inconvenient Truth a little early in the game. All the information is not in yet, so I am wondering what everyone else thinks, or has studied, about this subject. Some say there is a giant planet heading toward us that will affect our poles, weather, etc. It is called Nibiru, and could be the Sumerian's 'Planet X'.
There is little info at NASA about Nibiru.

Cause this is what i think. There is in fact nothing wrong with the earths environment. Hell!!! if human kind first started of in an ice age and the ice started to melt after some thousands of years after we've adapted, then we would think, as we do now, that their is something wrong with the environment. Same thing goes if we started of in fiery environment. The planet as been around for over 4.5 billions years. It has been through things that are beyond our knowledge and experince. No matter what the danger was back then, earth lived on. Its environment always adapted to whatever the situation was. I can go on and on but im hungry, so lets end this off with a quote from george carlin on this environment issue, "The planet is okay, the people are F**KED!!" -lol, in all seriousness, this guy has a brillant mind - and no, i wasnt influenced by him, just stumbled on to him by mistake.

Our planet can no longer seem to cope with the human race expanding everywhere. There is no other species so far spread from a single area as we have, and there is no other species environmentally unstable and unsustainable, as we grow, the natural world shrinks because we don't live with wildlife.

If there was a policy that every couple could only have one child, then in the space of about 2 generations, the human population would half. I don't agree with this idea, but if was implemented our level of pollution, consumption, and environmental impact would also approximately half.

And we'd take up so much less space, natural habitats could eventually re-emerge and we would have ample energy resources so that we wouldn't need more industrial development.

So should there be a new global policy, lets call it a license to reproduce. Or selective breeding (terrible but natural). Could such extreme measures be excused in such time of environmental chrisis? For future generations?

This sounds pretty much like your average fascist thought process - destroy all those with an opposing view. And this musing was done in public. You can only imagine what goes on when they are gathered in private, or worse yet, in the darker recesses of their minds.

I'm not sure how you can call this science, anymore, when the folks with post-graduate science degrees are talking this way. Where did we stumble off the path of reason, and how do we find a common ground to solve the very real environmental problems facing all of us?

Global warming deniers often make claims like "one volcano eruption emits more CO2 than humans do in 5,000 years", but they never support those claims with links or other scientific evidence.

Sometimes they'll link Inhofe's website or a similarly biased site like junkscience.com or co2science.org, but rarely even use relatively unbiased media articles, let alone scientific websites or papers.

There are of course some exceptions, which makes them skeptics rather than deniers.

On the other hand, global warming acknowledgers will usually cite several different valid sources to support their arguments.

Do GW deniers simply not care about science or evidence, do they think they're smarter than climate scientists, or are they simply oblivious to the impotence of their arguments?

No doubt that some people believe ghost are real because that's what they believe. The mind is a wonderful thing that can make reality what ever it feels comfortable with.

So is this how global warming works? People believe it's getting warmer, so they start to actually feel warmer? For them the warming is real even though no one else feels it.

Would anyone who believe in "global warming" could use objective facts to show that two years in a row we would have fewer than average hurricanes or that Chicago would set new low temps two years in a row? How is this consistent with "global warming".

Scientists know that the solar magnetic cycle is warming up the entire solar system while temperatures over the last 50 years tend to go down with the increases in CO2. So, who is making money off the "humans are the cause" myth. How do we "follow the money?" How can an ordinary guy make money while the making is good? This is like the Alar scare and the cancer-causing cell phone thing. Besides Gore, who else is making money off this?
