How many people out there do not believe the theory of Global Warming is the reason for global climate change, such as myself?

An Australian professor has suggested we pay a $5000 levy to offset the carbon emissions of your child!

yeah so you get the $4133 baby bonus from the government and then you pay back $5000 of it to offset your children's umm smells. actually they have even suggested

it seems that children are a problem, like a dog you have to clean up after, a commodity you pay for rather than love. a deadly chemical plant you have to shut down. What a load! anyone seen "Children of Men"? this is where we are headed folks. Population control will be the next big thing.

All air pollution needs to stop in order to pursue the happiness for future generations. The air you breathe is important. The quality of the air we breathe can have a significant impact on our quality of life. Did you know that air pollution also can exist inside homes and other buildings? Pollution can be created by indoor activities such as smoking. In the United States, we spend about 80-90% of our time inside buildings, and so our exposure indoor can be serious. Air pollution affects people’s health and those of you who want to live a long life should take time thinking about air pollution to avoid heart or lung disease. Air pollution will get worse! Yes, pollution will get worse if people are too careless to care for the environment. Surely one day people will realize how bad polluting the air would be, who wants the air to look smoggy?

is there anything i should add to this??

I notice many people using their fireplaces and buying wood to burn in fireplaces in the winter months. I am guessing this has to have some impact on the climate like fossil fuels (e.g. coal and forest fires) do. Am I correct? If so how much of an impact does it have? Links and resources to information would be greatly appreciated.

Any easy water conservation tips for a single family home? We are doing this for environmental purposes but this will also help financially.

We live in Northern Virginia so its winter now, not sure if I can do less or more.

Thanks in advance to everyone!

At 11:00 am Dec 9, the temperature in Los Angeles, Ca is 60%

At 11:00 am Dec 9 the temperature in Grayson , Ga is 75%

Normally its warmer in California and cooler or colder in the South.

Could changing temperature indicate a change is taking place?

Core samples of trees provide evidence of past climate change. Climate change occurred well before humans kept written records of climate conditions. List two other kinds of evidence used to study prehistoric climate change.

from the period of 1860 to present, yes there was a global rise in temperature of about 1.3 degrees...but interestingly the majority of this rise occured from 1860 to 1940, and DID NOT simply increase consistently and gradually

from 1940 to 1975, a period of rapid industrialization after the war, the level of CO2 emission boomed, exponentially growing from a level it had never seen before. yet from this period, there was actually GLOBAL COOLING, not warming

many scientists are now suggesting that the relationship between greenhouse gases and CO2 is now obscure, and that people are disregarding this data and simply using a correlation FROM THE LAST 25-35 years to say that temperature rise has correlated with CO2 emission

now lets get real responses that scientifically address this statement, not responses lke "global warming is scientific fact. just accept it dont deny!" or some other dumb response.

fuel and energy production, and energy conserving technology, because man-made Global Warming is a hoax?

If Yes, why?

If not, what is the sense in denying it, when the results are going to be the same?

Hi. I want to get a job but I don't have a collage education. I came up with this great job, " BP Alternative Fuels Production Manager" This job would have a person looking at ways to boost the production of alternative fuels. When I went to BP and Shell Website, they already had a list of jobs that I know I could not do. All the oil companies want a worker to have a collage degree. So how could I get this job created?

Most homes are now heated by Natural Gas. It is also used to heat boiler systems that are forced air heating. And to heat our water tanks. I know they are concerned about Electricity usage, but what about natural gas?

If they are, what are there alternatives for heating homes in the winter. Everything I think of gives off CO2 when burned.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gas

Like in the Middle Ages they burned either: Wood, Coal or peat. And all those things give out CO2. Is there anything available that doesn't produce CO2 when burned?

And isn't it better that a big plant processes the resource, since it would be easier for them to use pollution controls than every home that needs to be heated in the winter.

(Yes I know about Solar generated heating coils, I did a paper on that in eigth grade english. I'm still amazed it hasn't been used more.)
