Was at a party, this past w/e. And a bunch of "high class" know it alls were upset with me. Why? because they cannot see how I cannot see that "Global Warming cue to pollution is a FACT!" Why are people such "followers of the media?
There are so many factors that effect our planets' temperature
more so than pollution: ie/ Solar flares (frequency highest in the last 15-18 years). Volcanos. Methane released by decay and by animals (agriculture or natural).

My question: Why do people assume that when a 'scientist' or group of scientists get together state that Global Warming due to Human's emmissions is FACT. People are convinced and don't challenge their integrity?

Imagine... North America, Europe or Asia (all or each zone on its own), full of trees.... say 2000 years ago. The bio mass... methane, carbon due to wild fires, decay, water vapour... all natural green house gases.... ADD them all up.... you have more if not the same amount of emissions!?!

The first person to bring global warming to the mainstream was Al Gore yet he himself pollutes as much if not more than most people out there. Do people realize that even if everyone in the world waas to go eco it still cannot reverse the inevitable?

Everything we have came from the earth; so how can they pollute?

I have crab grass and clovers growing in my gravel driveway and I'd like to get to them before my landlord sprays pesticides all over the place! (I've been weeding them, but I'd need a good 48 hours straight to do it all!) :)

I was reading http://www.greenhouse.gov.au/education/factsheets/what.html. Seeing as power plants emit so much water vapour, is the emissions worse than carbon emissions?

It's a very simplistic answer to a problem that may not even exist. Does anyone realise where our oxygen really comes from?

When driving my car all over the place at night (besides wasting gas), does this still cause air pollution? Or does all of the exhaust just fall on the ground or something

are releasing into the atmosphere? They say that one cargo ship puts out as much pollution per trip across the ocean that 350,000 vehicles do, anyone have any ideas on how to eliminate this pollution from the cargo ships?

Thank you in advance for your answers!

Activists take Al Gore to task on his diet
By Philip Sherwell, Sunday Telegraph
Last Updated: 12:52pm BST 10/09/2007



He may be the hero of the environmental movement for his crusade against global warming but Al Gore is about to be targeted by animal rights activists over his carnivorous contribution to greenhouse gases.


Al Gore has come under fire for failing to highlight the impact of animal agriculture


Citing United Nations research that the meat industry is worse for the environment than driving and flying, animal rights groups are directing a campaign at the former American vice-president's diet.

When he delivers a lecture on global warming in Denver next month, protesters will display billboards bearing a cartoon image of Mr Gore eating a drumstick and the message: "Too chicken to go vegetarian? Meat is the No 1 cause of global warming".

The campaign is being organised by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) and is backed by other animal rights groups.

"For Al Gore, the fact that his diet is a leading contributor to global warming is a highly inconvenient truth - pun intended," said Matt Prescott, a spokesman for Peta.

Mr Gore won an Oscar this year for An Inconvenient Truth, the documentary based on his lecture-circuit presentation detailing how man is allegedly destroying the environment.

But he is now under fire for failing to highlight the impact of meat-eating.

According to recent UN Food and Agriculture Organisation research, animal agriculture generates 18 per cent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions - more than the 13.5 per cent produced by all forms of transport combined.
