Come January, I am attending a convention/seminar of and for fashion designers, fashion merchandisers and retailers, garments and textile manufacturers, and companies and corporations engaging in the business of making and selling clothes. The topic that will be discussed is our role as makers of clothes and protectors of Mother Earth, and the way our line of business is affecting the onslaught of Global Warming.
I might want to raise some questions during this seminar.....what are good and relevant questions to ask that's in connection with my profession as a fashion designer?

If I was there here are some of the questions I would ask.
1. How much has the earth temp risen in the last 100 years.
2. Has there been an increase in solar activity in the last decade.
3. If the sun is getting hotter could this affect our planet also.
4. Has global warming and cooling been occurring for millenias.
5. If it has why is this occurrence different from the previous times
6. If we stopped using fossil fuel today would the planet reverse the warming trend and how long would it take.
7. Why is global warming considered bad if hotter temp is bad for the hotter regions inversely they would be beneficial for colder regions.
8. If global warming is a world wide phenomenon why isn,t every nation required to participate in it's solution.
Try some of these questions depending on their political leanings you will not be well receive by many.

How can we assume there is anything but a natural phenomenon associated with global warming and cooling since we have only a limited amount of data from the past 100 or so years to draw from? Isn't it superficial to asume that the greenhouse effect has just really started in the past 100 years? Doesn't cleaning the air of hydrocarbons decrease the chance of moisture since it is "dirty air" which helps form clouds? What if any ways are there to produce textiles and maintain a clean air environment?

I am one of those people who believe that all this global warming warning stuff is a lot of bull crap by the hysterics. The world is unfolding as it should...and there is nothing we can do about it. Finding and changing sources of energy is an industry, this is good. However it is not good when that industry tries to coerce, scare and threaten the earth's inhabitants into supporting it. It's all about money, honey.

Global Warming is Real and if we do nothing in the next year we are doomed in ten years. We need to take immediate action.
First of all, I realize you are in the fashion industry and you are employed by making and designing clothes. When you look at the big scope of things, How important is it? How important is fashion anyway? We can all wear the same jeans and top and be just as happy and mother earth will thank us. I know that is harsh but fashion is not as important as saving mother earth.
What types of cloth are the easiers to produce?
They cause the less stress on Mother earth.
What cloth or materials are most natural so that when they enter the landfill they cause no harm?
What kind of Air polution is caused by the smoke stacks at clothes factories?
What chemicals are used in making clothes and accessories? And will these chemicals enter our water (ground water and streams and oceans)?
Can items like hose, socks, polyester fabrics hurt fish and sea creatures if they end up in our lakes and oceans or do they disolve? Can they kill sharks, dolphins, fish?
What harm are we doing to humans when chemicals enter our soil? Many cancers are caused by inhaling soil laden with by-products into our lungs. Can this be stopped?
How many of the creatures who populate Mother Earth are destroyed to make clothes and accessories? Are these animals needed to keep a balance between man, animals and earth?
What chemicals are given off by fabrics into the Air?
How does the process of making Fashionable Attire harm our water, soil, air, and animals?
Good Luck

thought-provoking questions to ask about Global Warming?
Forget it. Any one holding a seminar on their role in global warming is not into thinking about the subject. You can't provoke thought in those who think fashion design and global warming are related.

The earth has been going through warming spells and ice-ages on the average of every 10-20 thousand years. Many main stream scientist think we are probably about 4 to 15 thousand years away from the next one.
I personally think of the earth like a huge dog... When its sick of us, its just gonna shake real hard and we will just fly off anyway.

Your joking right?
You are all clothing and fashion designers?
I don't mean to be cruel and please forgive my aggressive tone, but i think it is ridiculous. If you as an industry want to face issues, try dealing with 3rd world slave labor. Leave the environment out of it, you all see and make clothes not nuclear waste!
Global warming is a joke, it is something people made up to show they care about without actually doing anything constructive, like stopping poverty.
Here are a few questions though:
if global warming is real then why is the climate always doing the opposite of what the experts claim? And why has it been changing for millions of years if man's impact has only been in the last few thousand years?
Where exactly did Al gore get his degree in Climate change? And how did he manage to also invent the Internet while spending all his time learning about the environment?
Please please please stick to clothes... some one needs to figure out how to get men to tuck in their shirts back in, not how to design clothes with zero carbon footprints.
Please enjoy your conference, and please post the answers to the questions I asked (if you get any) if you would please be so kind.

Why did the earth survive so many years with life in a warmer tropical state.

How about:
"Since the Earth has been getting warmer for the past 6,000 years - is there anything we can or even should do about it?"
