What will the world look like in 1 thousand years if we do not act against global warming?

surely with global warming etc, wouldn't it be more environmentally friendly to have a bit of foresight and plant trees instead of putting up more telegraph poles?

Florida, which is a big agricultural state, most famously for oranges, will export almost nothing to even other states because of rabid development. I can find no facts to support this theory. What do you think of this?

How can we have a middle class without oil? Someone told me that in countries with high gas prices, there's no middle class. There's just the rich and the poor. I don't know if I agree with that, so here's my real question: When Earth runs out of oil, how can we continue to have a middle class?

God speed, Mr. Jones. May your efforts inspire us all!

In this article, it says polar bears may be eliminated from 75% of their current range be the year 2050 primarily due to the destruction of habitat (i.e melting of the polar ice caps). Without ice, polar bear cannot hunt for their primary food source... seals.

As good stewards of this fragile planet, should we raising food to serve to endangered animals so that they can survive in the face of habitat destruction and climate change?

most of my white friends curse and smoke in front of their moms and when i see white ppl on tv, like dr. phil and maury, they cant controll their kids or teens and they don't woop them.
I'm 18 and I stay out of trouble even to this day because of my moms dicipline as a child and I love and respect her more than anything. Why do most white ppl let their teenage or even adult children curse in front of them and say what they want with little respect without kicking their a*ses?

Cause this is what i think. There is in fact nothing wrong with the earths environment. Hell!!! if human kind first started of in an ice age and the ice started to melt after some thousands of years after we've adapted, then we would think, as we do now, that their is something wrong with the environment. Same thing goes if we started of in fiery environment. The planet as been around for over 4.5 billions years. It has been through things that are beyond our knowledge and experince. No matter what the danger was back then, earth lived on. Its environment always adapted to whatever the situation was. I can go on and on but im hungry, so lets end this off with a quote from george carlin on this environment issue, "The planet is okay, the people are F**KED!!" -lol, in all seriousness, this guy has a brillant mind - and no, i wasnt influenced by him, just stumbled on to him by mistake.

I have never understood why republicans get so furious at folks who want to protect the environment. Rampant rages on conservative talk shows, in editorials. Anytime somebody talks about cleaning the environment, the cons go super nuts..I dont get it.

I would like to know what can governments do to help reduce deforestation in BOTH the commercial part and for the poor farmers? I can't seem to be able to find useful detailed websites on what governments can do. For example, what can governments of developing do to help farmers who have no choice but slash and burn? or what can government's do to have sustainable mining or charcoal collection in forests? Thanks

People never cease to bring up this comparison between Bush and Gore's homes.

http://www.snopes.com/politics/bush/house.aspqid=20070913123734AAgAWkc&show=7#profile-info-7a1a4586cbdfad0a780847164818434aaa

Certainly you can argue that Gore is a bit of a hypocrite for having a large house while arguing for a reduction in energy consumption, though people often forget that this is not an argument against global warming.

However, Bush has quite possibly been the worst environmental president in US history. He's done an incalculable amount of damage to the environment while in office. Is the fact that his home is relatively environmentally friendly supposed to compensate for that? Is the fact that Gore's home consumes a lot of energy supposed to invalidate his benefits to the environment through the amount of awareness he's raised with regards to global warming?

What's the purpose of this argument?

Have you ever killed an animal to eat it?

Do you eat meat?

If you had to rear, kill, butcher and cook every live animal you ate would you?

Would you eat more meat or less?

Do supermarkets really have a negative impact on the Natural Environment?

Or do we just have more choice, better products, cheaper prices?

Were we right to oppose them or just afraid of change?

I needed some facts for a page or two on a PowerPoint presentation and the facts in most books and on the web are few and repetitious. It's not exactly a page turner but it is fascinating that this man has devoted his career to discovering new species and then sharing that information with others.

The format is great, it's part of an ongoing natural history series, but $25? Good information doesn't come cheap, I guess.

I didn't check to see if the library had a copy, as when I do research I like to have as many resources on hand as possible.

We recycle all our bottles that have the symbol on it. But the local recycler won't take the large plastic juice bottles.
He only takes the refreshment size ones.
Anyone have an idea, why?
