Environment - September 2007

It's said that this documentary is kind of an instructive companion piece to "An Inconvenient Truth," and that it expands the conversation about our environmental ills and what can be done to correct them.

If you haven't seen it, are you planning to?

I live in LA and can't help but wish there were scrubbers or devices that would be effective at absorbing or siphoning out smog from the atmosphere...also, if there were devices to absorb excess CO2, that would be amazing at helping curb global warming. Are scientists working on any feasible solutions?

If so, as they seem to be getting stronger and more frequent should we be taking note sooner rather than later?

I do not want anyone's opinion on whether or not they think Perendev's motor is a hoax. I want to know the implications if it is real. What would happen ? In particular, would this lead to some sort of a golden age ? Would we have no reason to go to war ? Free energy is said to be impossible, but what if it is possible ? What will happen, assuming it is possible ?

Where I live its parts woodsy, and there is a family of deer that come onto my property almost every day. Well recently one of the deer had a baby, and the baby is a very curious little thing. Almost too curious, since it has started following me around my yard. It keeps a safe distance, and does scare easily, but say I'm taking the garbage out- it'll follow me and then walk back with me to my house. Or when I pull into the driveway this baby deer will come out of the woods, and will come up to the back of my car while I get out. It doesn't do this to anyone else in my family.

So I'm just wondering what kinds of disease do deer normally carry?

When this technology becomes a standard for information distribution (like cellphones of today for mobile communications) one of the main risks is noise (non-information like advertisements and other exploitives). The main reason the internet is so saturated with noise is because it is dynamic, but so is information. So, how can the restrictions (to prevent noise from developing), without hampering information growth and distribution, be implimented?

Imagine that I can, well tell me, what do I visualize first in order to bring down the temperature as its very hot here right now.
Imagining rain in a heatwave seems to create humidity and lightning.. tell me exactly how cool weather HAPPENS. I would be very intrigued to know.

Smallpox, malaria, yellow feaver, typhus, anthrax, cholera, bubonic plague......These are all part of nature too. if you think we should save wolves and bears and stuff, why dont I see any campaigns to save these organisms? Talk about hypocritical.

Okay to be fair it's only 2 questions, but there were many responses containing negative and incorrect information about EVs from people who should know better by now.

Granted ideally our power would come purely from renewable energy, which would make EVs emissions-free. However, even with a power grid based purely on coal, electric vehicles would reduce greenhouse gas emissions as compared to gas cars. With the US grid mix, they're a big improvement over hybrids, let alone gas cars

Does anyone have data to refute this, or shall we accept the benefits of EVs now?

so i have been a believer in global warming. now, that i have heard other sides of the story, im not so sure what to think.
of course us humans releasing so much CO2 into the air is a bad thing. cars arent a natural thing, they release things that arent meant to be in the air. power plants. i live around a lot of them. i hate them. they are so dangerous. more people around here get cancer than a lot of places, imagine what they are doing to the air. but, that may not be the only cause of global warming.
i recieved an answer to a question telling me ice caps, in some places, are melting. but other places, they are growing. you never hear about them, so how would i know that. im so glad that person educated me by telling me that.
my dad. he is very very smart. im not just saying that because he is my dad. he honestly is really smart. he tells me that he believes everything in life is a circle. he thinks this could be a natural thing, but it happened so so long ago, that we dont know how to explain it. he could be right. he has seen 'an inconvenient truth', by the way. he knows both sides of the story. he asked me how the sea level is rising just because the ice caps are melting? i challenged him so he put a ton of ice in a cup of water. i marked where the water stood on the clear cup. we waited for them to melt, the water didnt rise. nothing. hes hard to challenge, he always wins. so whats the answer to that?
i heard 99.9% of scientist believe in global warming, the response of one person to that was the scientist who dont believe it lose their job and are hushed. not allowed to speak what they know. i have heard that before.
i need FACTS.
if you believe the worls problems are caused by us humans, explain to me why.
if you believe its natural, tell me why.
if you think anything else, please educate me. i want to know. thank you.

Hypermiling is supposed to be a great way to save fuel but it is hard to figure out what it really is, since it isn't something tangible it seems. Any ideas?
