Has anyone quantified the amount of Nitrous Oxide emission by using fertilizers like urea and if so in which location and on what crop has this research been carried out?

Postal Rates rise basically because Oil (petroleum) prices rise. The USPS should perhaps change the consumption type from petroleum (in case they use that. i do not know what they use) to other alternatives like: biodiesel, ethanol, butanol, natural gas, vegetable oil, biomass, and even chemically stored electricity (batteries and fuel cells).
i am not saying they have to change the whole fleet. engines can be adapted to be able to move with green technology.
and perhaps with that change prices drop to 37c ?????

I went by a high school this morning and the parking lot was packed! These people get FREE, almost door to door bus service. I wish I could get a bus to work like that. It would be great. It's a shame.

The companies that sell the water, such as Evian say because of Bactria and such do not reuse, is that just their way of having you buy more of their water. I wash out the plastic and then use a little bleach, and then dry them out.

While some activists have been loudly saying that the meat farming industry is one of the major causes for accelerated global warming, the actual policy makers have been encouraging the production of synthetic fuel produced from beef tallow, pork lard, and chicken fat.

There is a big push to make this the new international replacement to fossil fuels by global warming lobbyists:

Reported at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6981476.stm is one of the real fears of climate change consequences. Climate conditions change just a little for new diseases to begin to invade new areas. "A debilitating tropical virus carried by mosquitoes has become established in Europe for the first time." This is a clear enough statement. This is not a cyclical effect but a sign of the times. Even more worrying is the statement "... the Italian outbreak was a world first outside the tropics. " and the punch line "There is no vaccine against chikungunya. "

I seen and heared this Statement from couple of people. Can anyone tell me where I can find an article on this, Taxing people who own Hybrid Cars. I know that there is incentive but not a tax on owning one.

Are the evil oil companies in cahoots with the aliens to cause global warming in the solar system?

Or maybe it has to do with high activity of fussion reaction we call The Sun? HMM

The average temperature on earth is rising, the coral in the oceans is getting bleached, more and more species are on the brink of extinction due to human expansion and advancement. Yet we still burn carbon based fuels that release CO2 which has been out of circulation in our atmosphere for many 100's of millions of years and think that nothing will change....

Has anyone else been watching the series "Dumped" on Channel 4? I'm pretty good when it comes to recycling, but I have this vast collection of plastic carrier bags from various stores. Where can I take them where they wont get landfilled?
