Environment - November 2007

Dozens of ski resorts across the Alps have begun running their lifts after unprecedented levels of snow this month.
Some parts have had the most snow in November since 1956.

Last winter was a bad season for the multi-million pound ski industry and there were real fears that some resorts might go out of business due to a lack of snow.

But the ski industry is now breathing a collective sigh of relief as bookings are picking up for the all-important Christmas period.

The planet hasn't warmed as much as we think due to contamination in the surface temperature record. Disproven here:

Gas flaring contributes to global warming, but then governments seem to be reluctant to properly enforce and stop outright waste of this energy resource. Setting "flares out" dates that are not adhered to is tantamount to shifting the goal post. Is it because, for now, it seems to be abundant?

Does anyone think humanity would be safer if polar bears did sink in the melted polar ice caps? I just can't come up with a downside.

Hi! I'm really wondering what you american people think about this topic. In Europe (I'm European) everybody takes it seriously. I am a biology&chemistry major, so of course I know it's true. But I heard there are people, especially in the United States who still don't believe it's true.
So, what do you think of this?

The climate of the Earth has always changed throughout history, is the current trend caused by humanity, or is it just happening because it always has happened?

There is no scientific proof that so-called 'greenhouse gasses' cause global warming, yet frenzied efforts - all doomed to fail - are being made to reduce their production. Not only is this lining the pockets of the few to the detriment of the many, but it's also blinding those who should know better to the possibility that the yet undiscovered cause may actually be amenable to corrective human intervention. Surely it would be sensible to seek possible alternative causes than to subscribe to the purely speculative opinion of largely self-appointed 'experts' or the 'majority view'. Remember, the vast majority were once convinced that the earth was flat - and some still think it is! In other words, should we not seek for possible alternative causes of global warming - then look for a solution whilst also recognising that there may not actually be one!

The round trip is a net loss isn't it? We use electricity to convert H2O into H and O.

Then in a hydrogen fuel cell car, we RE-convert the H and O back into H2O again.

So it is a round trip.

But since every mechanical device LOSES energy through friction and heat and waste, the round trip from H2O to H & O and back to H2O LOSES energy.

Isn't this right? So how will a hydrogen economy run the country or replace oil-burning cars?

They say that when the polar ice caps melt, the sea level will rise and flood parts of the lands. However, ice already takes up all the room it needs when it floats in water so if it melts, how is it going to affect the lands if it already takes up the room it needs?

For example, when you put ice cubes in a glass of water, the level of the water rises. When the ice melts in the water, the water level stays the same.

I keep hearing about CO2 being a pollution and we need to stop it, so does that mean it's a pollution? I'm confused because every time I breath I give off CO2.

Since Japan is going to hunt the Humpbacks in International Waters, and International Waters belong to all nations, therefore any national sanctioned by the UN can legally send warships to forcibly stop the Japanese whaling fleet. If the Japanese are really interested in doing "research", just ask them to bring the slaughtered whales to some third country and do their research there, they will immediately stop their shusi and shasimi hunting.

My name is Simon Oleekatalik. I am 72 years old and I live in a town called Taloyoak, in the Eastern Kitikmeot region on the Boothia Peninsula in Nunavut. Nunavut is the land of the Inuit people in north eastern Canada, Many of us agreed that the weather conditions have changed from a long time ago. In the winter there are more clear sky days more often now. When days get longer it seems to always be cloudier. In the old days in the wintertime, in short daylight, there was more snow accumulation on the ground. Now it is not like that anymore.
Sudden wind and weather changes, and the old ice is melting
I know about the wind too in the summer time. The wind has changed from a long time ago. The summer season is too windy now. It is different now. In the old days it used to be calm in the summer right up until the fall. Right now in the summertime I can see the difference, it is always windy now. Sometimes it will be calm but most of the time it is windy.
so is global warming fake?
