  1. While this may be a federal felony under the Gore Act, I reject the assumption that Global Warming is factually established. The weather pattern post 1996 have returned to a cycle similar to the 1950s to 1970s weather system.


  2. Well, stop being greedy! the technology to power cars on WATER is probably available already. The government and businesses only wanna make money money money. it's all MONEY-related. Humans are ultra-intelligent and with all the independent research around the world, i just don't believe it that we cannot make a car run on water or build a city that is completely environment friendly.

    POLITICIANS! STOP BEING SO GREEEDDDDYYYY and STUPPIIID and CONTROLLED by business people!

  3. None.

    This phenomenon - called an act of God by insurance companies - is larger than us.

  4. there is no global warming....it is solar warming

    the sun appears to be cooling already

    we need to concentrate on real pollution and human over breeding.

  5. Do you or anyone else has scientific prove of Global Warming? Not Science Fiction or around the science stuff that is in the media, but real scientific? I only noted that Global Warming stuff starting during summer period and during winter they tell us “oops we sorry, there is no global warming for another 10 years or so, but then it will be”, once summer is back they start that Global Warming crup.

    Though if let say it would be real, humanity can't do anything  about it. That would be the same as billions of ants try to run on the ship back and forward during the storm trying to stop it from shaking :).

  6. trade our politicians for there politician's

  7. A.) Population control

    How do you achieve population control?

    A.) Economic collapse bringing about social collapse and therefore killing modern day civilisation where a few hundred million survive.

    B.) Peak oil - do you have any idea how imment it is?

    C.) Survival of the fittest

    D.) All of the above

  8. It doesn't matter whether global warming is man made or just a cycle in the earth's history .... it is happening. Between solar processes or natural earth processes such as volcanoes and the ever present forest fires which will be argued to have occurances whether or not mankind were present. It still just doesn't matter how it is happening, it is.

    FACT: "Atmospheric levels of CO2 are determined by how much coal, natural gas and oil we burn and how many trees we cut down, as well as by natural processes like plant growth. Atmospheric levels of water vapor, on the other hand, cannot be directly controlled by people; rather, they are determined by temperatures. The warmer the atmosphere, the more water vapor it can hold. As a result, water vapor is part of an amplifying effect. Greenhouse gases like CO2 warm the air, which in turn adds to the stock of water vapor, which in turn traps more heat and accelerates warming."

    We have gone past the point of no return unless we can build improvements to assist in reflecting light away from the earth.

    First you have to understand how long the earth has been storing up the fossil fuels. The coal, oil and natural gas that we are using now are products of the earth converting plants and animals into their present forms over (often) millions of years. They have been stored now for millions of years without being used until now. By being used now, we are converting these fuels from stored carbon, into released carbon. Thus allowing this released carbon to act as a greenhouse effect gas again.

    Since we are talking about a situation where the Earth once had a lot of stored carbon and now that stored carbon is disappearing at a tremendous rate (and will continue into the future) We can be truthful in saying that there is a definite trend, and relationship in the increase of greenhouse gasses. We can also say that these greenhouse gasses would not have been released without the intervention of man. Logically therefore we can say that global warming gasses have been released and any global warming increases are directly attributed to mankind’s releasing them.

    The damage done by increased greenhouse emissions has already taken its toll. This is evident by the melting of polar ice and glaciers across the globe. Some will say that there is no such thing as global warming, because there is in their opinion very little change in the average global temperature. However when you take into account the fact that there is less ice, and snow, because of the melting of polar ice and glaciers across the globe. That melted ice, snow and glaciers across the globe will in themselves temporarily lower the overall ocean temperatures untill they all melt. Thereby lowering the average temperatures on the earth. So if you account for that, the temperature can be proven to be increasing.

    We cannot get the world back the way it was, even as of fifty years ago, much less stop the damage that will still occur in the future. Sure we could try to stop all industry that will cause pollution, but at what cost. Without industry we could not sustain the present world population. Giving up industry and sacrificing billions of people on this planet in the process, is not a viable solution (even trying to merely lower greenhouse emissions is at best a temporary solution).

    The biggest problem we have now is not just the fact that we have more greenhouse gasses trapping heat in, but we are getting less and less sunlight being reflected out from the planet. As the snow cover melts from more and more of the planets surface, the sunlight heats up more parts of the earth that once reflected light back out. It is like a dog chasing its tail (until it gets dizzy and falls from exhaustion). As global warming just keeps building on itself till the ecological balance fails, and this planet will no longer sustain the teeming human populations.

    Greenhouse effect cure (there are no real cures but this may help till we can find one). First I want to point out that there are no real, viable short term, or easy methods of curing our Global warming woes. The damage to the environment has already been done and is, for all intent and purposes, basically irreversible. It is likely, however, that any type of plan to get rid of Global warming, will require some type of dramatic ecological compromises.

    Some will say that all we need to do is give up industry on the planet and the world will eventually go back to the way it was. I say it is too late for that solution (as a short term solution anyway).

    My plan, however, will require the use of old tires and recycled plastics. Of course it will require some engineering feats also, and a few ecological compromises. The benefits of using these wasted products will far outweigh the compromises required.

    My idea is to build large floating islands (white on top, to reflect sunlight back out of our planet) made from used tires (filled with co2) and recycled plastics. Yes there are engineering and ecological problems, but everyone has to admit there are worse problems in our current situation. So the only feasible solution is to build a bunch of artificial reflection "islands" across the planet.

    We can also try to get more people to use reflecting surfaces on buildings (which will be as difficult to do, as no one likes to have to do things exactly the same as everyone else).

    There will be other benefits realized, once we build enough of these islands. One of the problems associated with the increased temperatures we are experiencing is the possibility of increased hurricane intensity and frequency. Having enough of these floating islands in strategic points in the oceans will help to alleviate this problem also. It is a well known fact that hurricanes form in areas of the ocean where the temperature rises above approximately 80 degrees Fahrenheit. If we can keep those areas below that temperature (by reflecting sunlight away), we can prevent the formation of hurricanes. Without these floating islands, hurricanes will probably continue to increase in intensity and frequency…

    We need a solution to deal with our Global warming woes, and we need it now. Even if this is a difficult path to follow, it will pay off in the future. The overall problems I see for Greenhouse effect is that we can go green all we want, but Global warming and our constant desire to be comfortable, will eventually undermine any efforts we may do. Unless we can get rid of some of the excess heat in this world, we will always be under the eventual threat of a thermal overheating demise.

  9. State planning (socialism) for any end doesn't work very well (or at all).  Planning for global warming is no exception.

  10. What?

  11. how arrogant do you have to be to think that man can affect the climate? man can have a small effect on the climate for a very small period of time, but in the end, mother earth always has the last laugh. the global climate can change very quickly, in as little as two to three years, or it may take a long period of time, 100 plus years or more. the last ice age lasted 60000 years!! 700 million years ago this planet was encased in ice 11 feet thick at the equator, and far thicker in other areas. that ice age lasted something like 100 million years!!! at the end of the last ice age the planet warmed up 10 degrees in 15 years, and you are complaining about 1 degree over 150 years?? according to the geological record the average temperature of the planet is much higher than it is now, as much as 8 degrees higher.

    with all that in mind WHAT can man do to change the climate? in a word NOTHING!!!!!!! it is the height of arrogance to think otherwise.
