how many of you are as mad as i am, that nobody is doing much about the whole global warming issue? ppl jus need to wake up and realize that the world is not just going to keep reproducing all of the natural gases and fuels for us to use up and put into our atmosphere. when we have other choices, other options to chose from...why are we chosing the ones that are ruining our enviorment for this generations' future? even tho some car and truck companies such as ford, GMC and dodge are making bio friendly vehicles, what about everybody else? what about all of the factories, the motorcycles, the burning of harmful things such as plastic? when we could use recyclable items such as paper or cardbored, why do we chose 2 use foam? because its prettier? think of how pretty our eath was 10, 15 years ago, and what its going to look like 10 to 15 years from now. think of our own planet's future. what do u have to say as 2 the ignorance of those who make harmful decisions for our plaents wellbeing?

Liberals always argue that any scientists presenting evidence against the current man made global warming religion are in it for the money and paid off by oil. Can ONE liberal please respond to this article and tell me there is not HUGE money in the current belief system? Al Gore makes millions.. right?

These two shipping channels have short circuited the earths ocean system at or close to equator. Before this the treee great ocean systems were thermally connected only around the poles. what effect these seemingly small openings have had on ocean circulation is a point that is bothering me! If any body has any reference to the study on the effects on these channels on global environment, may please let me know. Please note that the gulf streem starts very close to panama canal. Also remember the implications of "chaos theory".

All my neighbours are right on do gooder lefty types who recycle loads and eat loads of vegetables. I don't recycle anything and go everywhere in my gas guzzling car (even to the corner shop). I smoke, drink beer and I don't like asylum seekers. They are always moaning at me to recycle more and think about "the environment".
What a load of cr ap!! I do what I want to do, I don't stick my nose into their business!!
I don't understand all this fuss about carbon footpad prints or whatever they are. Should I care! Sounds a load of bollockanoes to me.

I searched on web but i found discussion about reuslts not about mehtods. I want to know the methods to retrive data and how to relate thes data with climate? Could you describes these methods.
Thank you.

someone needs to explain to me how "green" it is for me to turn in my full size car , to be chopped up, then put on a boat for china, then be melted down, then made into auto parts, sent to korea or japan, then put back on a boat, so I can buy a car that can get 28 mpg instead of the 18 mpg I am getting....?

All along Kevin Rudd has said that if he is elected as Australia's Prime Minister, One of his first acts will be to sign the Kyoto Protocol.
Kevin 07 has won the election as of last night!

The entire modern world (excepting the US and Australia) signed the Kyoto Protocol years ago, some of which signed over a decade ago, and they've spent that time implementing changes to their lifestyle and energy generation and usage to reduce their carbon footprint and their ecological impact.

Australia, on the other hand, has done just about nothing on a national level. Now don't think I'm disregarding the noble efforts of hundreds of thousands of Australians who embraced this truth long ago, despite our governments' complacency, because those people are the one's who approached Kevin 07 in shopping centre's on the subject of climate change; those are the people who urged a Midnight Oil singer into parliament, and a Triple J science presenter into senate.

We've got some catching up to do!

so I had a idea for christmas to give my best friend
a part of the rainforest. Like maybe a site where you could buy like a really really small section to save the trees (and get like a certificate so you have something to show for it). Doesn't have to be as big as a football feild, it's the thought that counts :).

do they even have these programs?
if so the link to the website:?

Isn't one of the contentions of the Global Warming Theorists that CO2 in the atmosphere TRAPS Heat?
CO2 is a heavier molecule than air and will FALL towards the earth eventually.
Excerpt from Source: = http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/Hazards/What/VolGas/volgas.html
"Carbon dioxide gas is heavier than air and the gas can flow into in low-lying areas; breathing air with more than 30% CO2 can quickly induce unconsciousness and cause death. In volcanic or other areas where CO2 emissions occur, it is important to avoid small depressions and low areas that might be CO2 traps."
CO2 in larger amounts Killing Trees:
http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/Imgs/Jpg/LongValley/30210600_004_caption.html

The only reason I see that CO2 is increasing excessively is the warming oceans ability to absorb back into itself. Soil seems to accept CO2 in larger amounts - but oceans are much larger.
Warm water emits CO2 - cold water absorbs CO2.

What says we understand anything any better between then and now ?


they wanted to spread coal ash all over the ice to collect heat and melt the ice .

these trees lived thousands of yrs ago proves that that area was warm enough thousands of yrs ago to sustain plant life.

question: why is it bad that once again plant life will thrive again there, and please dont give the rising water mumbo jumbo. this should be proof that maybe the planet is warming but not cased by man for reasons previously stated.

i personally am hoping for warmer weather, we re not going to die from heat the same that we arnt freezing like they planned in the 70's.

for those who will pick on spelling or punctuation if you dont have a good answer, save it

I'm talking building numerous layers of algae culture. After that the algae can be used as food source or even fuel. Has any country attempted this?
