from pseudo-environmentalists concerning Christmas lights? Not the little displays, but those massive store and/or town sponsored ones.

The South needs more water, I know it does sound crazy and costly but water is needed...it will not help the dry terrain though

The world's climate is constantly changing. What is so hard to believe and threatening about the possibility that the Earth is going through a warming trend? Their is hard evidence that the polar ice sheets are starting to melt.

In 1935 VW had a car that got 35mpg in the 70's it was averaging around 50 and above...with this threat of global warming(I say that with caution)....why can't car manufacturaers make a car that gets that much MPG?
It's bit funny that a gasoline engine was getting 50mpg back way when and now we have to figure out how to get that much MPG with a hybrid.

Simple question, could anybody tell me what was achieved in Bali?, apart from a darned great carbon footprint and another meeting to be held in two years time.

Sceptics and outright deniers, are you fighting against believing the science behind global warming simply because it's primarily Al Gore that is in the spotlight urging the American public to do something about it?

I can't find a plastic recylce place near my home. It seems like a hassle to drive so far for my little bit of things. It seems like they would make it easier to recycle since it helps the planet.

I've noticed that some brands of water are offering new environmentally friendly designs. Poland Springs, Deer Park, etc. How are these new designs any different than the old water bottle?

Agriculture uses the most water in California. Would it be possible to build distilling plants that take the salt out of salt water so california can use it for things like crops, lawns, car washes, etc.? I know fresh water from the colorado river and resevoirs have minerals but Im sure we can add some to distilled salt water. Laying down pipes and channels to get water to crops and cities is possible because thats how water from the Colorado river gets to California cities like LA and San Diego. Building distilling plants (not green plants that grow from the ground; the other plants, kinda like factories) would make more jobs. I know money isnt an issue for the government to build these because they spend billions on war and war technology. what do you think?

I'm 26 years old have studied climatology and climate change in college and know little about it. Is it just a myth conconted by deniers or was it a genuine fear? More importantly did the theory achieve the backing of the overwhelming majority of the (qualified) scientific community?
I'm familiar with the concept of a nuclear winter but global cooling...I'm ignorant.
Constructive answers please. No politics.

They have that widget (I think that's what it's called) in them, so I'm not sure. If not, that's pretty messed up.

Has anybody else noticed birds out of their natural habitat?
Right after Katrina, we started seeing fish crows in our area in SW Missouri. They had never been here before, and they are still here. They compete with our native crows for food and in some cases, drive them away. They are a little smaller than the crow, and have a croak like a rusty hinge. We didn't know what they were until someone from Louisiana pointed them out and said they didn't know that they came that far north.
Has anyone else noticed strange birds moving into your area?
