I'm not a scientist, but from what I've read, it doesn't seem that global warming isn't happening. Why do people think it's a lie?

(i know that we can reduce the amount of trash we make, but does anyone have any other ideas?)

Just say for no reason that you were able to dig a hole through the earth, when you get to the center of the earth would you have to start digging upwards? Remember where ever you are people are standing up.

do they have to pay x amount of £'s for a coffin, or can they supply their own ( plastic bag, cardboard box) Also, does one have to pay for the services of an undertaker, or could the family do it them selves, and how? is there a set price that undertakers are allowed to charge, or do they make it up as they go along? Genuine question!

in the environment?''why if you notice that when dry hot asphalt in the daytime sprinkle it w/ water you can see the vapor smokin but its the oxigen and hydrogen was release i wonder if all the oxigen and hydro were release in a hot day instead of watering plants early,why not late when its hot and from the ocean connect or dug a connection and let it flow inland through the dry empty deserts this will help the sun to evaporate the h20 and release the O2 and H in the Dryland to form a cloud this section of land is hot because the sun cant get anything much of water and if there's is a passing gray clouds it's a potential to rain i remember 2 decades ago i heard news some airforce drop a cargo of salt in the clouds to rain to cool the land what more can a country w/ a capability in air or land can do it"instead of using their plane for test flight only they can carry the toppings to season the gray potential clouds to rain you can be a rainmaker is that cool'' YAP

I was in the lake the other day fishing, and when I got out I had 5 or 10 little tiny red things (less than half a centimeter long) sucking on my toes and between my toes, I quickly smashed them and tugged them off with my fingernails. Alot of them still didn't come off and I poured bleach to get them off (only thing I had, because I just finished laundry). Anyway, i'm just wondering what they are because I was bleading pretty bad afterwards, they didn't look like leeches from what I know, i've seen pictures of baby leeches and it didn't look like that, anyone have a clue on what they could be?

I ask this on the assumption that no other factor becomes involved that could change rotation speed.And because I am too lazy to do the sums myself and to give 10 points to some poor soul who lusts after them.

Please list sources if possible, as I'm scientifically curious about this. No political/hot-air comments if you please.

Thanks in advance!

new orleans deserved better. other parts of the world are suffering now due to flooding. part of the problem is man's insistence on trying to control the natural flow of water. it's all downhill from there...

there have to be better solutions than channeling channels. lake winnipeg in canada, affected by american 'tampering' with the red river of the north... cities in california on the brink of going underwater if a major earthquake hits near fresno... the mississippi river floods of 1993 in the US midwest...

dams, walls, and dikes: what could we be doing differently? is this the best way to provide for water, transportation, ecology, and safety?

I have been trying to figure this one out for a while. A month ago we went fishing and the part of the river we were fishing looked like it was flowing upstream. I know this has to be impossible since water will only travel downhill due to the forces of gravity. And it was obvious that the direction that the water was flowing towards was higher in elevation. So how else might this be explained?
