Environment - November 2007

Have any of you noticed that your testicles have been hanging lower in the past few years? Coincidence or global warming? I don't mean to be alarmist but if we don't change our ways, our grandsons may never know the pleasure of wearing boxers.

so many of you guys claim that its just a scam or a way to make people live in fear but technically so does religion. supposedly if we tell people long enough that global warming is real then they'll believe it right?(well actually it wont be believing, it would be a realization) and chances are that's what happened with religion.

they told people long enough to believe in god and whatnot and they believed it.

how can a person believe in something like god which has not been proven to exist but yet they will deny the existence of global warming which has been proven to exist?

One you have no proof of at all whatsoever. and global warming has been proven to exist. so why do you blindly accept one and blindly deny another?

In the year 2006 there was one person leaving the work force for every person entering the work force. www.statcan.ca/Daily/English/070717/d070717a.htm. I think that in the future there will be more people dying than are being born. Maybe people will be able to live in all the old house because nobody has the money to demolish them. There will be little constuction of building. Every business in the yellow pages will start decreasing business. Will there be Hitlers revenge on eightieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War in 2025. Ronald Reagan turn Russia into a capitist economic country and they suffered for many year creating capitalism. Do you think the world can see that far into the future. Many countries fought in the Second World War. Will North America have the lowest unemployment. Were is Bush when you need him. Ha Ha I only write, I don't E-mail. www12.statcan.ca/english/census06/release/release/_agesex.cfm

Notice he does not rely on Consensus studies or name calling to prove his point?

There are 4 parts to this.

Cause I know I am! He has no idea what he is talking about. The Earth goes through a cycle. Now everything is getting warmer. In thousands of years, the world will freeze over and there will be another Ice Age. Thousands of years after that, the world will be like this again. Shut up, Al Gore! Go find manbearpig!

what are the benefits of using solar power as an alternative energy source and also the disadvantages.
This is for a school assignment and i need the answers fairly soon.

If you could tell me how solar power works and if u dont know could u give me any websites for them

Thanks heaps

I consistently hear AGW supporters claim "consensus" as if it is scientific proof. But how can any individual call the science "beyond discussion" when many of the AGW claims have been proven wrong.
In 2001, the IPCC's report used "Hockey Stick" as proof man was the problem. However, this evidence was completely debunked. A main piece of evidence which is completely disproved does not lend itself to a science that is already "solved".
In the USA, 1998 was proclaimed as the hottest year in history by NASA and James Hansen. After scientist studied the data, it was found an error existed in NASA's calculations and 1934 was the hottest year. Again, the science is not past discussion.
Another example, in Al Gore's movie, he said, "Do these graphs fit together?" He then went on to explain that the data showed CO2 drives temperature. Again, scientist studying the data discovered that CO2 lagged temp by about 800 years.
Why do people claim the science is settled, when obviously, it is not?

I live in Carroll County Maryland and my BGE bill for a small duplex is $350.00/month. I rent so I am not able to upgrade the water heater or central air myself. Is BGE the only one or is there another electric company that supplies to my area that will be less expensive?

If they were slaughtered in a humane way and monitored to prevent overfishing of a certain species, something tells me people would still be apposed to this form of fishing. Why is that? Why can't people just treat these animals like they do any other animal that's fished/hunted for?

I just finished reading an article that stated that Georgia is experiencing its worst drought yet and that they may lose all its drinking water in a handful of months. I want to know how I can help fix and repair the world from global warming so a catastrophe won't happen. Can you please give me some ideas on how to save the world and how kids can help save the world too? Thank you so much

I know with the crises at hand it seems a valuable option but what happens when we start eradicating the oceans and seas. I mean the ice caps are already melting. Isn't this a defence mechanism of the earth to heal itself? What would happen if we started to depleat our water supply? I think we need to research more on solar power. What are your thoughts?

What are the goals that we need to reach when we can say that man no longer is having any effect on the climate?

If co2 gets back to 200ppm, do we then say that our work is done, man no longer has any effect on the climate?

What's the goal?

What will the planets temperature be five years from now? Will the Earth be warmer or cooler?

How do you know for sure?

Can you show me how you came to your conclusion?

Why continue to study the problem if we know there's no doubt that man is the cause? What do we expect to prove by spending more money? That man is really, really the cause?

Wouldn't it be better if the sharp minds who are doing the research into global warming were in the private sector looking for solutions?

Could these scientist be working on the next generation hybrid car, or new fuel cell technology, or renewable energy instead of finding more ways to blame man for a problem?

When the sun is active there is an increase in the suns magnetic field, electrically charged particles (solar wind), energy in the ultra violet spectrum can increase by 100%, and the energy in other spectrums will increase slightly. During The Little Ice Age, the sun entered a period of little or no solar activity called the Maunder Minimum. It was still shining brightly, but there were hardly any solar flares. The decreased solar wind allows more cosmic rays from outside the solar system to enter the atmosphere. Some scientists believe these cosmic rays help to seed clouds. We don't have any pictures from the Little Ice Age, but there are many paintings from artists of that era. Here are some links to landscape paintings, notice that the skies are overcast in most of the paintings:
