I wanted to add a key element in the global warming debate: Global warming that is the SOLE fault of humans is poppycock! I do not think we contribute more than 2-3% to the problem. By and large, this global warming is a natural phenomenon. But on the other hand, I support doing what we can to lessen the problem via recycling, seeking green and other energy sources because, after all, it can't hurt, right?
As an aside, have you ever seen a typical copy of Mr. Gore's utility bill? I think you would faint!
I've seen some of people use a lot of electric bill, one of my friend told me their house cost them like $1,000 a month only for electric bill single, but thank god the electric bill assistance advisor came to their house and help them with saving the electric, their electric went down so dramatically to like $300-$500.
Now you see, there ARE ways we can help with the environments.
nothing new. nothing alarming about that. remember that time where we had ice age and volcano/fiery era and it repeats that same cycle again? Perhaps we're actually approaching to Ice Age. That's why it's called Global Warming/Cooling paradox. I'll make it simpler for you to understand - it's opposite of what it is now. I wonder if you understand our ocean conveyor belt system. Do you understand the purpose of freshwater and saltwater? The purpose of ice in arctic area and the paradox of its heating/cooling system? **hint - Al Gore explained it in his presentation**
I think you are misunderstood by what I was saying about the penguins, they are dying from the global WARMING, not cooling. I learn that from the movie March of Penguin and did some of research about them online.
nothing you can do about it. sorry to say. if you truly want to lessen the impact - you'll need to reduce human population to.... about 1 billion or less. Ever stepped into full elevator? Yea it gets hot pretty quick, right? and smelly too if somebody farted
This is the one of your confused words. You said that there's nothing to do about it, and then you said we can reduce the population to save the environments. That way, we can do it by legalize the abortion, reduce the taxes on the cigarettes, reduce the restriction of guns, many things we can do about it. Now finally did you see my point?
again - nothing new. you think it's never happened before? It's always happened like that since human civilization was born. Some is loss... some is gained... England used to be all trees. Now it's not. was it end of world for them? nope! Nothing new. moving on....
:roll: We can planting the trees, creating the rivers, build a mountains, maybe sheild them under a huge greenhouse, to keep the environments that we needed.
and......?
stock market fluctuates. your mood fluctuates. cycle fluctuates. so does Earth's temperature.
My mood had nothing to do with the environments on me so is the Earth.
um... USA? Why are you talking about geographical advantage? I'm talking about losses of life caused by natural disaster. I'm talking about Indonesia, China, Burma, and this country in South America. They live on mountain especially volcano area because it's very rich in nutrition for crops. Volcano eruption is rare which is why they took a risk to live on it. Crop yield on volcano ash is high and healthy and profitable for them. I recall in news that hundred died from hot ash and they ignored the warning because originally they were evacuated as the volcano awoke but nothing happened for 2 months and people were getting angry because their homes were being robbed. They forced their way back in and a few weeks later... hundred died from hot ash.
I live like a hour away from active volcano, but there's still plenty of farms, good rivers and forests around here. I was told by people who are the newbies to Pacific NW that they think it was very beautiful here even though it is a volcano area.
But does that have something to do with the global warming?
Now for Indonesia and China... they live on mountain because of plantations and other stuff. Those area are prone to hurricane/typhoon/etc. so they're victim of mudslides.
Does it? (referring to my question above)
I'm guessing your geography knowledge is limited to skimming thru National Geographic magazine and Al Gore's presentation. I'm talking about learning it from professors or scientists. Or you could read stuff from NASA. They are real deal.
I don't read the National Geographic magazines, even I don't read any of the magazine, I read mostly of them through the internet, especially the Wikipedia and Columbian news.
??? um... no? I think you're not understanding it. Perhaps I'll make it easier for you to understand. I asked if you ever wonder why marijuana was illegal in the first place and why smoking was so widespread and viewed as cool and manly even though it kills millions per year? M-O-N-E-Y. Corporations/special interest groups spend MILLIONS MILLIONS MILLIONS to fool the public... to hide the truth... to make you believe in their lies. Same for global warming hype. Why? because there's money in it. They're making you buy energy-efficient bulbs, hybrids, green food, etc. it's all hype.
Yupp I know that, I did created some of the threads accusing the governments screwing our societies and turning it into bad, but I would be very grateful if they would do something about the global warming because they had a LOT of money that can help us that we paid for the taxes. For example, my city set up two cooling area in the city to help people to be protect by the heat wave.
uh... this is not about where he lives.... now I question your ability to understand the complex issue... focus on his statement - "Asking geo-engineers to fix the climate is like asking an 18th ecntury steam train mechanic to repair the space shuttle. But given the size of the egos involved, something will be attempted anyway."
For your sake, I hope you understand what it means.
Umm what he said, is not my point. I really hope you are more creative than just sit and do nothing. Get up, put more fruit trees on your yard to make your home cool and to have some of foods of your own, put the flourscent bulb all over in your house to save electric bills, you can put up the Solar Power on your roof to save the electric, you can go pee outside instead to save the water, you can put a pond on your yard to feed the wild animals the water, there is so MANY ways to do this. I really hope you are more creative than that.
