1.May be nuclear energy? What do you think?
2.I think inflation might help people keep up with the oil price. So we and our children might have to rely on the same old fossil fuel all their lifetime, right?

IMO it doesnt exist as everything is cyclic and scientists on both sided make good points more for the scients who discount it.
I believe Al Gore has done a good marketing job in favor of Global warming to build himself up like how he 'invented the internet'?

China and India want the economic development. The people of the USA want their gas-guzzling cars. How bad would climate change have to get before action was taken

Every day we hear about Global Warming and it seems always to be attributed to humans. We hear how it is killing off species and so on. Scientists who disagree are called crazy and never given airtime.

Fact: Arctic is shrinking but the Antarctic is not, the ice is growing overall in the South Pole. This is a pattern which has occured for many thousands of years.

Fact: 8,000 years ago the North of Scotland was under 300m of ice (300 m!!). Where did it all go? Well the earth warmed up and it melted. just a natural event which has happened 5 times we know of.

Fact: The amount of CO2 in the atmoshere in 1600 was 0.01% less than it is now. Human contribution to global warming does exist but it is VASTLY over stated by the bean eating, sandle wearing brigade.

Fact: In 1955 Polar bears on WWF endangerd list. 2007 25,000 P bears and still on list?? They increased 5 fold! Not in danger.

Global warming in not affected by humans. It is natural event.

I attended a conference lately and they were discussing the idea of reusing articles rather than breaking them down. Do you think it makes a big difference to the environment?

More CO2 in atmosphere helps increased global temp. and granted, some land will be lost to sea. But it also fosters the growth of healthy vegitation. Studies found that precisely high vegitation due to high CO2 is the cause for large bodies of the dinasours.

So, it is good to have global warming!??

"National Review (the most prestigious conservative magazine) published a cover story calling on conservatives to shake off denial and get into the climate policy debate"

"(from Republicans for Environmental Protection) The consensus of almost all climate scientists is that global warming is already happening, that human actions are causing it, and that it will cause major problems for our planet."

http://www.rep.org/news/GEvol5/ge5.1_globalwarming.html

These people aren't running for anything:

"Pat Robertson (very conservative Christian leader) 'It is getting hotter and the ice caps are melting and there is a build up of carbon dioxide in the air. We really need to do something on fossil fuels.”

"I believe there is now more than enough evidence of climate change to warrant an immediate and comprehensive - but considered - response. Anyone who disagrees is, in my view, still in denial."

People seem to think 1 degree C is not a significant increase. No one is looking at it from a point of view that takes into account the fact that proportionally this is a large increase. 1 degree in 100 years sounds small. 6.8% in 100 years is significant. Its not like we wont notice it.

I have trouble buying it....because growing up the "Hole in The Ozone Layer" was the big theory and now it's become "Global Warming"....

Not a big Gore fan either maybe thats why...

I like the Gaia Hypothesis though....

Check it out. Channel 4 not only says it's wrong.

http://www.channel4.com/science/microsites/G/great_global_warming_swindle/index.html

They post links to legitimate sources of information. They have a way to "ask a scientist". His bio:

Professor John F B Mitchell OBE FRS is Met Office Director of Climate Science. He gained a BSc honours degree in applied mathematics in 1970 and a PhD in theoretical physics in 1973, both from Queen's University, Belfast.

In 1978, he took charge of the climate change group in what is now the Met Office's Hadley Centre for Climate Change. He is a leading expert in climatic effects of increases in greenhouse gases and related pollutants.

He's a leading member of the IPCC.

His answer, of course, is that the movie is flat wrong and global warming is mostly caused by us.

They've done everything short of suing Durkin for fraud. Or posting the savage criticism of the movie from the British press.
