Kansas and its surroundings are again getting pounded with severe weather (hail storms, major flooding, tornadoes) for about the third or fourth time this spring; why is this part of the country so susceptible to such weather patterns? Is it the terrain that allows it, or does the location in the middle of the country happen to be the ideal place such that the necessary wind patterns required for these types of storms can take shape?

Why would info be presented and represented by a politician and not a group of scientists?
I'm not convinced Al Gore is one of reliable source of information here, despite his efforts.

I'd like to be convinced of global warming and its threat .... so, please give me any info - preferably concise - that would convince me.


There are areas where storms come up most often: - florida, thailand, (japan?), and there are areas where storms are becoming more destructive.

But these storms are often fairly predictable, and I think mass transportation of affected residents to safer nearby areas might not be out of the question.
Is this too crazy of an idea?

I guess there would be a problem of cultures and societies clashing.
Or maybe this idea would be completely out of the question anyway.

What can be done about rising sea levels? Can walls be built on coastlines?
Would it be realistic here to just move everybody to areas higher above sea level?
I'm probably simplifying issues

In science right now we are doing biology. We went to a forest and we had to take pictures of various plants and identify them. Unfortunately, i cant find these species, or, i don't know exactly how to find what they are called.

Does somebody know the names of these plant species?

It seems like a lot of people in government are pushing global warming, especially people like Al Gore and forcing kids to watch his video.

So I'm wondering who's contributing to the politicians in order to generate the hysteria? Help me follow the money.
