Global Warming

this is NOT an essay but i would appreciate if you gave well thought responses.

what are your thoughts on global warming? what do you think we should do? what are some things that happen because of it?

if you DONT care about it, why? what would get you to realize the effects? who should take care of it? what will get you motivated to help the cause?

what is your position? are you willing to help change the earth? or are you going to sit around and wait for the end to come?

why is it SO important that we work on decreasing effects of global warming?

and finally...
what would convince you to do something about it?
what do you need to fully understand the problem? by the time everyone sees it, it will be to late. why do we need to act NOW?

your thoughts are GREATLY appreciated

I read somewhere that the Saudi flares burning off natural gas from their wells is the brightest single light on the planet. Must be lots and lots of CO2 and H2O generated by such a massive set of flames.

Yet I never hear a peep about this waste of energy and source of "Greenhouse Gases".

Many winters I hear of folks in the USA freezing because of insufficient supplies of Natural Gas for heating, yet we do not bring it over in liquid form so we have sufficient to keep our population warm at times. Or are our leaders counting on Global Warming to eliminate the need for heating?

When a natural resource is being wasted, and "polluting" the atmosphere, where are the protests from the Climatologists, the Ecologists, and the Global Warming warning preachers? Does money talk that loudly to them?

And why does the UN Consensus not hit terrorists who release gases too?

Maybe we need a televised concert thrown downwind of the flared-off gas? Save money on lighting, especially at night!

I think there are a number of reasons

Recording the temperature data is by far the easiest and least complext thing about studying climate and yet scientist managed to screw it up.

The fact that 1934 was the hottest on record shows that temperatures have spiked this high before the rapid industrialization following WWII

Shows how foolish the MSM was to trumpet an insignificant data set to push the Global Warming agenda, and then have it thrown right back in their faces.

While I was thinking about the heat the thought crossed my mind, could keeping the heat out of our homes be making it hotter outside?

Am i the only one concerned about space flights. What happens to our atmosphere everytime a space rocket or shuttle goes into space.
We are being told time and time again about global warming can anyone tell me just how much is caused by rockets leaving our earth, and shuttles coming back

We have our answer! Reportedly there was a Y2K glitch which changed the temperature measurements thusly:

"NASA has now silently released corrected figures, and the changes are truly astounding. The warmest year on record is now 1934. 1998 (long trumpeted by the media as record-breaking) moves to second place. 1921 takes third. In fact, 5 of the 10 warmest years on record now all occur before World War II. Anthony Watts has put the new data in chart form, along with a more detailed summary of the events."

The fatal flaw - these are not global temperature measurements, but US temperature measurements (and just the lower 48 at that):

"Contiguous 48 U.S. Surface Air Temperature Anomaly"

http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/graphs/Fig.D.txt

So there you have it, 1934 was not nearly as warm as recent years globally:

But it was hot in the USA.

check this out ... Indian researcher Veerabhadran Ramanathan from Scripps talks about the Asian Brown Cloud that he (and others) discovered in 1999. Latest measurements as reported in the journal Nature on Aug 2nd [see link below] suggest that burning biofuels for cooking, etc. by the poor people of Asia is a greater source of global warming than buring fossil fuels by the developed nations.

{This is because uncontrolled burning of this sort creates a huge amounts of soot per energy unit which modern fossil fuel burning does not.}

***
This suggests that what the world needs is less of Al Gore and more economic development in poor countries.

We could help that by giving free trade to every country whose GDP per worker is less than 1/5th of ours.


What do you think?

A Tale of Two Houses

House #1
A 20 room mansion ( not including 8 bathrooms ) heated by
natural gas. Add on a pool ( and a pool house) and a separate guest house,
all heated by gas. In one month this residence consumes more energy than
the average American household does in a year. The average bill for
electricity and natural gas runs over $2400. In natural gas alone, this
property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American
home. This house is not situated in a Northern or Midwestern "snow belt"
area. It's in the South.

House #2
Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national
university. This house incorporates every "green" feature current home
construction can provide. The house is 4,000 square feet ( 4 bedrooms )
and is nestled on a high prairie in the American southwest. A central
closet in the house holds geothermal heat-pumps drawing ground water
through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground.
The water (usually 67 degrees F. ) heats the house in the winter and
cools it in the summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or
natural gas and it consumes one-quarter electricity required for a
conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected
and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from
showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then
into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding
the house. Surrounding flowers and shrubs native to the area enable the
property to blend into the surrounding rural landscape.

HOUSE #1 is outside of Nashville, Tennessee; it is the abode of The "environmentalist" Al Gore.

HOUSE #2 is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas; it is the residence the of the President of the United States, George W. Bush.

An "inconvenient truth".

so obviously president bush doesnt give a crap about the environment. hes actually paid by the oil companies to shut up about. but what makes me laugh more is his stupidity. hydrogen technology is probably the cleanest and best way we can stop global warming. president bush know about it, what he do? well hydrogen can be produced 2 different ways...out of water....and out of fossil fuels. he signed a paper stating hydrogen must be taken from fossil fuels, which gives the oil companies more money, and it still pollutes that way! so what do we do now? take it in our own hands?

Nuclear winter is defined as a long period of darkness and extreme cold that scientists predict would follow a full-scale nuclear war; a layer of dust and smoke in the atmosphere would cover the earth and block the rays of the sun; most living organisms would perish

A full scale-scale nuclear war would include hundreds if not thousands of nuclear explosions. With controlled nuclear explosions it must be possible to create controlled 'dust clouds' that could lower the temperature by as much as you like. Deserts would be the obvious place to detonate these explosions creating massive amounts of dust whilst minimizing evacuation of people in the target zone. If timed right you should be able to aim the dust storm with the wind blowing it over an ocean or uninhabited area.
