when virgin soils are ploughed CO2 which is has been fixed for thousands of years is released into the atmosphere.

If the total amount of Carbon stored in soil is a much greater than all that of stored in living plants, why plough?

When was the last time you actually went there?
How far is it from your home?
Have you skipped the trip and dumped a CFL in the trash instead?

Water vapour is the #1 greenhouse gas and as the world warms so does the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere increase.

If all our motor vehicles were hydrogen burning then the greenhouse effect would be much worse than it is today because burning hydrogen produces water vapour.

It is true that the atmosphere can only hold so much water vapour before it precipitates - rains. But most of the time our atmosphere has nowhere near its maximum quantity so there is a lot of room for more water vapour in our atmosphere and, therefor, water vapour can violently increase global warming.

The amount of water vapour in the air would, in and of itself, increase the amount of viscious storms. The warmer the climate gets the more water vapour can be held and the cycle would seem to continue.

Right?

I am working on an article for the school newspaper and I need to research on how the light rail system reduces pollution, besides oviously getting more cars off the road. It would help if someone with expertise on the subject would help.

Why get a prius? The area around the mine where the nickle is got is a dead zone, plus it gets shipped to three different countries before comming to the US. SO if this so called man made global warming was real, then getting a prius is doing more damage than just getting lets say a hummer or a big suv.

we could turn Gitmo into a giant processing plant that could grind up terrorists and convert them into ethanol which we could use to power our vehicles. this would help us to get rid of the terrorist problem and it would solve the fuel crisis, since there are plenty of terrorists; enough to last hundreds of years.

Ban all drive-thrus. Make the fatties get out of their cars to get that supersized Big Mac combo, thereby 1) reducing the amount of exhaust pumped into the air at all those McDonald's and 2) getting people off of their fat a_sses and burn a few more calories.

No more bank drive thrus, no more fast food drive thrus, no more liquor store drive thrus, no more drug store drive thrus, no more dry cleaner drive thrus. Get the hell out of the car and walk a little and save the environment while you're at it.

Countries that import a major portion of their oil consumption should try to mostly eliminate oil imports in 20 years.

Using a major effort, public and private, to develop and deploy nuclear, solar, and wind power plants for electricity. And to develop and deploy vehicles indirectly powered by those plants, using batteries or fuel cells.

I know some here disagree about global warming. But this goal also addresses the rising price of oil, and undesirable economic dependence on Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Iran. 3 of the 4 top oil exporters.

Could we come together on that? Or not?

Note how many times Stossel has gotten simple, easily checkable facts wrong. Facts that any serious journalist would have checked by a staff person.

"Stossel's errors are often so obvious that one wonders how they could have ended up on the air."

He is an extremely biased commentator, not a reporter.

"Stossel reported only the most extreme numbers in the study, and ignored the report's caveats about uncertainty--fishy techniques that most journalists probably couldn't get away with."

"All of this was available to Stossel months before his report, but the factually inaccurate segment made it on the air."

"Stories that put environmentalism in a bad light seem irresistable to Stossel."

Came across this interesting article on Tiny Plastic Wind Turbines that can be placed on rooftops and balconies in crowded cities. Cost very little. These turbines generate electricity which gets stored in cells and can be used to power appliances.

Are such products being installed some place?

What are the costs involved? Installation, maintenance?

If you have read this and you still art convinced that AGW is a significant and the most likely possible cause of the current global warming phenomena why not. I have read a plethora of data and hundreds of scientific journal articles but this explains it in a way that gets rid of the jargon and seems unbiased. Do you agree.

I watched a program where some scientists were pursuing Nuclear fusion as an alternative to oil. The result: unlimited and clean energy.

However, whatever company solves it first, will they have sole ownership? They will easily become the richest and most powerful corporation on Earth, isn't this both unfair and dangerous?
