Environment - November 2007

Do you believe global warming is caused by man alone or merely a natural part of earth’s cycle? Or do you believe its part of earth’s cycle but is also being sped up by man?

Conventional wisdom says that man is responsible for global warming. Is this hype or is it backed by scientific data? Please provide data if possible.

I think global warming is a big crisis and we all need to be educated about it. There are things people can do, even if they do not support global warming, that can help the environment.
So what do you think about it? are you all for it? against? trying to understand? What do you think?

I have a good job and am saving well. My dream would be to buy some land and build an as close to self sufficient cabin/home as possible. My question is - where? Has anybody done it? Should i continue to save and should I move now? Etc.

I have two things that I think would have a dramatic effect (for the good). These two changes alone would improve Americans lives, our health, our family, our society, the enviroment and the price of fuel. These two changes would be painless for the average individual. The only people who would not like it are the super wealthy and the super lazy. You may laugh at me but I doubt you could dispute me. The benefits are almost immeasureable. Please think about it and don't dismiss it.
1-Ban all non-esstential work for one day a week, Sunday or any other day
2- Ban drive thru restuarants
The energy savings would be phenominal, gas prices would plunge. The family would strengthen as would the atmosphere from one day of rest. Lazy people would have to turn off their automobiles to walk for the fat laden fast food (health improvement). The list goes on. These two things practically didn't even exist 50 years ago and niether did global warming. Let's start a new lobby and make it happen.

When the Earth starts to cool after the sun passes its maximum in solar variation, will the liberals admit they were wrong? Or will they hope nobody notices?

It is hard to find anything about global warming hysteria that does NOT make you laugh out loud. But how about this one: Snow & ice is caused by water vapor in the atmosphere that comes into contact with cold. So as warmer oceans evaporate more easily, water vapor in the air hitting the polar regions will cause MORE SNOW & SLEET & RAIN leading to a net INCREASE in the polar ice packs. RIGHT? If there is global warming we should be seeing the ice packs GROWING, shouldn't we?

To visualize this, remember what happens when water condenses on the outside of a cool glass of lemonade on a summer day or water condenses on a cold window in the winter.

Does global warming make ice melt at -15 degrees BELOW FREEZING Celsius? How does ice melt at the poles when the temperature remains below freezing year round?

ok if you had an all electric car that you would have to plug in at home to recharge, it still wouldn't help the environment because of coal burning factories! Don't ya have to burn coal to get electricity in your car?? So if there's more of a demand of electricity, and i'm sure a car would need that amount, then more coal would need to be burnt so there would be more acid rain n stuff like that :(

Hey,
I am 14 and i am very interested into the subject of Global Warming! Please could you tell me if there is going to be an ice age in my life time and how hot could it get over the next 60 -70 years?

I don't believe it is. And I don't think that evolution is valid either. So I want you to come up with a few reasons why global warming is not a serious issue, with out reference to evolution or how old the earth is. I have to write a paper on this.

I see people yacking and blabing all the time about CO2 emmisions and trendy indicator graphs that don't tell me anything.

The hippies call it Global warming, but I've never seen someone (on either side) name a figure connected to the global average temperature. I mean...if everyone is convinced that the planet is heating up...how much? what was the average temperature planet-wide 10 years ago and what is it now? is it higher or not? and how much?

I don't think we see these figures because we can't get a reliable planet-wide reading. we get limited surface readings at random locations, and even more limited upper atmospheric readings. No one knows what the global average temperature is! So why does everyone insist it's going up?

If your all getting upset because we're hurting the ecosystem or making the planet smell funny or look grungy...say THAT. Call it Global Littering, or Global Pollution. Don't call down the end of the world and blame it on statistic we can't measue!
