Environment - November 2007

We always hear events being blamed on man made global warming.

Floods are caused by global warming
Droughts are caused by global warming
Ice is melting at the edges, but growing in the center is consistent with the theory of man made global warming.
Warm is because of man made global warming and the cold can be explained by global warming as well.

It seems like we can only look back to explain things that already happened to show man made global warming is happening.

If we know this much about the climate, why are we unable to know what global warming will do in our near future? Wouldn't this be a good test of the computer models?

Why are the ice caps melting on mars? other plantet are showing a increase in temps. Sattelite data infers the 4 of the 10 hottest years where in the 1930's, Is the co2 causing that?

I suggest its cause mostly by the sun going thru one of its hotter cycles, I aso suggest its a way to get a global tax, in order to control countries and their future.

This video from NASA satellites shows the rapid retreat of a glacier.

There are many other examples of how warming is effecting the Earth. Although the cause is still not fully understood if the scientists think that we are the most likely, probable and obvious cause then why don’t we act.

I think they are going in the right direction by investing alot of money to make solar energy competitive to coal and other fossil fuels within years and not decades.

Is mankind responsible for the destined plight they have created for humans and nature alike? Or is it all just an act of nature? What do you think is the truth behind global warming?

Why recycled products sometimes even cost more? I think it may due to the labor and the style. Even so, high prices just discourage people from going green.

The U.S. needs to ensure that its armed forces receive sufficient funding. While funding levels should be determined by needs and requirements, they could be established at 4 percent of GDP without harming the U.S. economy.

I know the car company's are trying to find ways to make cars run on alternative fuels such as water. Do you think this is entirely possible and if it is when do you think it will be on the market for consumers. The next few decades?

Im doing this project where i have to come up with new ideas to help in gobal warming. it doesnt have to proven or anything. i just need a valid approach where there is a logic to it. like while mowing the lawn, the cut grass goes to the bag and then it will go through some process, then it will transform to be a biofuel so it uses it. so it saves of fuel. i would use that example, but someone already using it. can you help me please? thank you very much. greatly appreciatte.

So you know how an air ionizer purify air, more or less takes out polution in a small basis right? what if we put the air ionizer in the car's catalytic converter so when CO2 comes out of the engine or the car, it'll be less pollutant, thus we're doing something to save the earth from global warming? what do you think?

I read these people in here, talking about the energy required to produce Ethanol compared to gasoline, and they have no idea what there talking about. Same goes for using up all the food sources. Polution rates at Ethanol plants. Cost...and so on. I really wish these people would get there facts together then make a argument rather than repeating someones fabrications.

Most of it ends up in the bin while billions are owed and billions are in poverty. It seems a strange expression of the season of goodwill to waste so much when there are so many starving.

why not go back to the days when there was no plastic bottles every thing was made of glass, no plastic bags, all bags where made of paper much easer to rot away,bottles you took back to the shops they gave you money back for the emptys we never used to throw away if wecould get the money back, all was used again this would help and cut down on rubbish been dumped this would also help global warming,come on you big super markets and botttling plants you lot could help to save our planet as well, part with some of the millions you make every day,help us keep our planet intact.
