I personally think it is a politcal issue. The people who are strong supporters of global warming tend to fall to the left. sure some conservatives say it is real but the vast majority are liberal. If it was science wouldn't both sides believe it. I mean many of the scientist say it is real are funded by liberal groups.

Let's see, billions of dollars have been pumped into a previously obscure science. Thirty years ago, there were a couple of hundred climatoligist, now everyone is an "expert". Seems to me, if I am a scientist, I am going to promote AGW in order to advance my career. Where does a lot of the money come from? Let's see. The other beneficiary, governments, and UN. The UN abviously has an agenda to promote AGW. They stand to lead the "world Governing" taxation body. Sure would be nice to be able to fund people who will in turn allow me to take over vast sums of money. Other beneficiaries, governments. Name one government which does not attempt to extort more money from its citizens? Every government has a benefit from promoting AGW in order to enrich their coffers.

The entire system is being promoted by those most in position to benefit. Must be nice.

The real reason behind AGW is to promote an anti-capitalist agenda. Our friends the UN want to seize our hard earned money and redistribute it to other nations. Why dont they get their money the way other criminals do, steal it!

There are several activities that are threatening biodiversity nowadays. Mention the major threats, and explain which one you consider the worst. Present an example of the impact on the structure and function of the system, and highlight one possible social and/or economical consequence of these changes.

I think deforestation is one of them, but I not too sure about the rest. Thank you for helping me out ^^ Appreciated ^^

Don’t get me wrong, we need a renewable fuel source… badly. But, E85 Ethanol currently consumes roughly 3 gallons of gasoline for every 4 gallons produces and you get about 25% fewer miles per gallon.

So, why the big push?

I asked this question last night. but all though I agree with has been written, I dont actual mean physical heating!

As within a microwave oven, microwave radiation causes molicules to vibrate and heat up. Gobal warming has seamingly increased in the last 30 years, around the same time we have been sending more satilates into space for mobile communications, radio dishes and mobile phone masts, and Wi fi. Pigeons flying in the path of radio dishes can be instantly cooked, so with all these's signals and radio waves, there must have an effect, in heating up the atmosphere.

I mean that If radio waves can cause molicules to vibrate and heat up.

Mobile phone masts have been opposed on health questions

A micro wave oven doesn't produce that much heat to cook. With so much radio wave and other radiation criss crossing the globe, then is'nt there a chance then, we are microwaving ourselves

I think it has to do with increased CO2 levels in the atmosphere due to human activity. Its odd because the leaves are stuck on the trees a lot longer, and fall came a lot later. And the leaves are all turning brown before dropping off when they usually drop off in colors. And there is dead leaves still stuck to the trees that won't just fall off.

I know its only one odd season, but is increased CO2 levels to blame, or is it just a weird season because it hasn't happened before.

Do you think this pattern will continue in seasons to come?
Or do you think its a one season deal and next year it will be "normal"

Its just something we discussed in my Environmental Science class. And i also noticed it.

Huckabee calls climate change "a spiritual issue."

"We ought to be moving rapidly toward energy resources that don't have a greenhouse gas effect."

Last spring, Thompson seemed to mock the issue. More recently, as a presidential candidate, he has said global warming is real.

At a town hall meeting in New Hampshire in October, Giuliani said: "Yes, global warming is happening. Yes, human beings are contributing to it. No, it is not an hysterical emergency that has to be dealt with...it should be dealt with as a long-term emergency in a sensible, mature sound way in which we allow our economy to grow."

McCain favors caps on greenhouse gas emissions, a "cap and trade" policy as a market-based way to spur industries to take action, and higher fuel standards for vehicles. He has been highly critical of the Bush Administration on global warming.

From wide-spread recycling to a huge "green" sector of the economy to resource sustainability, all of the policies meant to ameliorate global warming are conservative. Why would conservatives oppose them, regardless of what they believe concerning global warming?

Why is it that so many people use the movie "An Inconvenient Truth" as an authoritative example of Global Warming? It has been shown by scientists to be inaccurate, sensational, and mostly propaganda. On top of that, it is a MOVIE! You do not write a book report on Tom Sawyer by watching the movie, you cannot learn how to hotwire a car, rob a bank, build a bomb, or win the lottery by watching movies, even though all these things are depicted in movies. Do people really think they can go visit the treasure room shown in the movie "National Treasure?"

Am I the only person that finds this hilarious?
