jesus said on the cross,-- father forgive them cause they don`t know what they`re doing. they still don`t know after so many years, trials, and lessons never learned. you cannot change the world, only you can change, if you want. sometime i think that GOD should have never give us the intelligence, we don`t seem to know how to use it most often then anything else. in our days we put our knowledge into science and technology to make our life easier supposed to be, by changing what is already there and complete for us.
if that is being intelligent, why do we destroye more than create? the day that the world will understand the importance of mother nature for our own survival will be the day that the people lose it all. like it did in the past but that obviously the people didn`t get the lessons. we repeat the same mistake over and over again. we still think that we can do whatever. money and taxes, sex, alcohol, jewelry. worldly thing!

I agree with your 1st statement but how can you blame the whole Earth's problem on one Man (Bush). Doesn't everybody share some blame. Don't you drive a car? Didn't you turn on your computer? What did Clinton do that was environmentally so different from Bush? Your second statement is more of a problem than a solution.

Usually when people start calling names the bird don't fall far from the nest. your diatribe on Bush is simplistic at best. If all you can think of is Hitler read some books.

Yes to (1) and can't say to (2). There is no meaning in simply keeping on "stating the obvious" about GW. We should stop expecting technology to come to our rescue and even if it at micro level, we must talk about solutions, solutions and solutions. Some where down the line, when we feel that we have really helped nature to be preserved, we can take stock of what has been done and what more is required to be done.
With this in mind, I have done my little bit towards reduction in "burning bulbs" and CO2 problem. U-SEE the following and let me just inform all thinkers that this is one of the solutions we all can adopt without blah blah and blah:
U-SEE - We must save the world from over-exploitation of natural resources
Knowingly or unknowingly we are all partners in misusing of costly electricity for our lighting purpose during day time when the solar light is available just outside our windows. Why can't bring home the sunshine?
Yes. This has been successfully adopted by a number of people in Bangalore, India. This innovative but simple method of bringing home the sunshine was suggested to the World Bank as a Grassroots Initiative for Preservation of Natural Resourcs during IDM-2007 competition - Project U-SEE (Unlimited Savings of Electrical Energy). U-SEE does not involve any nano technology nor does it requires billions of dollars for implementation. Moreover, U-SEE you get free lighting for life. No charges.
The World Bank honored this initiative and has created a permanent blog on the World Bank URL at http://dmblog.worldbank.org/mirrors-can-bring-light-rural-homes.
How is it implemented? U need a house hold mirror of 12"X18" and a pillow. Identify where u can get maximum sunshine just outside the windows with clear glass or on the balcony, keep the pillow on a stool or chair and place the mirror on the pillow, go on nudging the mirror till the solar light is deflected from the mirror, through the window and on to the white ceiling inside your home. U will be surprised to find the light spreading from the ceiling - it can be 40 to 60 watts (see the picture above - notice tube light and table lamp in the corner are not burning but there is enough light). If u can keep a bigger mirror, u will get more bright light. U can control the light just by covering a portion of the mirror.
Earth moves on its latitude. When u find that the deflected solar light is moving elsewhere, just go to the mirror, nudge a little and u can get back your light as before. THIS IS THE BASIC IDEA and once u have done it, u be the Innovator of your light requirements for your home and U-SEE PROVIDES YOU FREE LIGHTING FOR LIFE. Many homes/huts in rural areas in developing countries do not have proper lighting and people are living in dark, damp and dingy environs but urbanites living in concrete jungles in cities with tinted glasses are misusing electricity for their lighting purpose even during day time.
U-SEE the Benefits: ONE incandescent bulb/tubelight burning for 6 hours during day time consumes 7 units of electricity in a month. If half the world can adopt U-SEE and switch off one bulb for 6 hours during day time, how much of electricity can be saved? Your guess is as good as mine + saves cost of fossil fuels, coal, water+saves cost incurred for machineries and equipments+saves overhead charges+saves transmission loss charges+saves the world from global warming (burning bulbs/CO2 etc) with n'th value+ U GET FREE LIGHTING FOR LIFE with n'th value. The savings that accrue can off set the load on our productive requirements like A/c, refrigerators, mixies, fans etc.
Solar light will be available at least for about 200 days in a year and it is infinite and why should we let it go waste? We are not harnessing this infinite energy. U-SEE is ssoo simple.
First adopt this method, innovate solutions if u face small problems. U be the winner. U-SEE It is a win win situation for all of us. Need clarifications, mail: vkumar_m@yahoo.com U-SEE - The author's ambition is to spread this friendly initiative to one and all. No charges!!
