i did a search and realized that we really rely heavily on nuclear energy. i think the technology to utilize this energy when it came about way back when was a time when we werent as knowledgable or aware of our enviroment like we are now. atleast more so than that time. we would we have alowed the use of such harmful energy knowing what we know now? why do we still use it and when will we stop? it seems like we give our decision making to those who should make the best decision and then we ultimately pay in the end.

Especially, when they have NO proof! It's stated that people couldn't remove debris because the "environmentalist" wouldn't let them?

What's even more pathetic is that the liberal media is trying to show all the negative aspects versus the positive aspects... i.e. all levels of government are working together...

As solar gets smaller, its future gets brighter!

Nanotechnology could turn rooftops into a sea of power-generating stations

Why not build a clean and efficient, "economical" national solar energy sytem, to stimulate the economy and wean ourselves off of high priced (non-renewable) Arab oil?!?

'What do you do when the sun goes down?'

The simple answer is to build an auxiliary system that will store energy when the sun is out.

Recently a number of people here were screaming for the head of NASA scientist Dr. James Hansen for his position and research on climate change. Same saying he should be arrested.

Turns out the White House's chief science adviser, John Marburger, cut out two vital sections ("Climate Change is a Public Health Concern" and "Climate Change Vulnerability") from a taxpayer-supported environmental report being presented before congress. This cut the report in half.

How come these folks aren't calling for Marburger's arrest, or at the very least, his firing?

I know there are many things that seem as if they wouldn't be recyclable, and I wasn't sure if anyone knew if the Pitney Bowes ribbon cartridges (the red thing) are too.
Anyone know? Thanks!

More CO2 and heat will likely increase crop production.

More heat will cause more evaporation increasing water vapor in the air and increasing rain fall possibly increasing crop production.

Will Global Warming be the hope of mankind?

On the news I saw this huge DC10 plane flying over california wildfires and dumping tons of this red fire retardent. What is that stuff? Is it true that this stuff is not good for the animals or vegetation? Can't we drop water to interfere less with nature?

PS: this is not in regard to California widfires (a terrible tragedy with 1000 plus homes lost) but in regard to general wild fire fighting.

The IPCC projects that sea levels will rise by 7 to 23 inches during the 21st century, but this estimate assumes no acceleration of ice flow in Greenland or Antarctica and does not fully account for some positive feedback processes, such as the release of additional CO2 from tundra soils as the planet warms.

A new study published in Science on January 19, 2007 projects that sea levels will rise by 20 to 55 inches this century based on recent observations. This study was published after the deadline for consideration by the IPCC.

http://www.pik-potsdam.de/~stefan/Publications/Nature/rahmstorf_science_2007.pdf

"A rise of over 1 m by 2100 for strong warming scenarios cannot be ruled out...on the other hand, very low sea-level rise values as reported in the IPCC TAR now appear rather implausible in the light of the observational data."

Do you think - as several of us have been saying - that the IPCC sea level rise projections are too conservative?

"The White House severely edited congressional testimony given Tuesday by the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the impact of climate change on health, removing specific scientific references to potential health risks, according to two sources familiar with the documents.

Dr. Julie Gerberding, director of the Atlanta-based CDC, the government's premier disease monitoring agency, told a Senate hearing that climate change "is anticipated to have a broad range of impacts on the health of Americans."

But her prepared testimony was devoted almost entirely to the CDC's preparation, with few details on what effects climate change could have on the spread of disease. Only during questioning did she describe some specific diseases that likely would be affected, again without elaboration."

Why do you think the White House is trying to edit global climate change science again?

Since the industrial revolution Fossil fuels have been the primary solution to many problems , keeping warm, keeping cool, travelling, getting to the moon etc. etc.. Is this the reason why so many people can't get thier heads around global warming, because for 200 years fossils fuels have been the solution to so many of life's ills. But now...
