Environment - September 2007

Just reading today that the newest data fed to the newest model suddenly says "Global Warming: will be slower than expected". Second time the computer programs have had to be changed and more real data considered, and each time Global Warming takes a hit...deferred, they say, can't be wrong, just deferred...the COMPUTER SAYS SO!!

How long will this keep happening, GW converts?

Second issue is the natural Gas Flaring. I have been told on here it was all under control, no more flaring off, and now the satellite pictures show massive flaring, releasing "greenhouse" gases in great quantity. Natural gas flaring is not necessary, just seems to be an easy and cheap way of disposing of this resource.

So who is right? Satellite pictures, or what the countries claim, and what those who build "recovery plants" claim? I sense that one of them must not be telling the whole truth!

So, how do we take care of this massive waste of resources and source of vast amounts of "Greenhouse " gases?

Where do you think all that electricity comes from?

OK, there are some areas that are powered by nuclear (which produces really nasty waste) and hydroelectric. And there are those fringe outsiders that charge their car using solar panels. And, yes, burning American coal is always better than burning Middle Eastern oil, but the fact of the matter is that overall, the electric car doesn't save us from global warming yet, and wont for as long as we continue with our present infrastructure.

I have recently heard about several people close to me building, buying, using, etc. their own forms of power. My father built his own windmill and several others have bought large (about 10 foot by 20 foot) solar installments for their houses. What are the pros and cons of each? I am a bored college student and assuming it's not crazy hard, I was thinking of making a mini version of one or the other as a fun summer DIY project.

Thanks
Ben

Perhaps the sentence could be extended for convicts who are discovered smoking in prison. Think of all the lives that will be saved!!!

seriously, get a life and stop trying to scare eveyone into recycling (something that i will never do), IF the world ends by global warming, then it will in a few hundreds years, long after we're all dead. so stop all the propaganda.

let's enjoy life and waste earth's resources while we can.

I say that if you think it's hype or fake, come to California and spend a day walking out on our streets with only a cup of water. Then tell me it's nonexistent.

We have a large motorcycle and power sports dealership, and are looking to start carrying a small fuel-efficient car that is street legal. We were hoping for Smart Cars, but are not in an area they are looking for yet - does anyone know of any alternatives? I am aware they are coming to the US, I am just digging for other similar options! Thanks

Someone suggested on TV the other day that Panda's deserve to be extinct, this was provided with the view that any species on the endangered list because it refuses to have sex is getting what it deserves.

Any thoughts?
