Grrrrrrrrrrr....wasn't supposed to wipe entire response, just adding and I guess it got lost in the shuffle, "Lost In Cyberspace", new series this fall, look for it at your favorite candy/video store, next to the Boston Baked Beans(say that fast 3x's)(ok-four)
Truth is, there are all sorts of problems for mankind to deal with, sometimes I wonder if just worrying about a beast eating you would be more to my liking, but I'm comfortable w/the generation I was born into and really amazed at what we've done since as a society, so all told, taking in account Si's article find, it's not all that bad a life right where I am and I'm damned grateful for being lucky enough to beat 10 to 1 odds of being born in this country...how's your day going? Mines fine, thank you...
Doug, damn rights he is, I mean, look at the pic, that's a face that loves life....ugly too, but that's beside the point.....lol

Doug, that was gonna be my next post... "Send me some." hehe...
SD, I'm not against taking care of our planet.
However, I agree with Si... no need to panic. You always hear the Global Warming & Climate Change panickers making a racket in the current convenient place... that's why we had such violent hurricanes hitting us.. global warming.. tons about it in the paper and on the net when Ivan and Dennis hit us and Katrina passed nearby...
Last year was predicted be the worst storm season in history... GW (that ain't George W.) was going to make a record number of killer storms that were going to wipe us and the east coast out.
How many major storms were there, like 2? You're not hearing anything about GW making hurricanes now-a-days....
And Frank, glad to see you're not gonna kick the bucket. Either you're mending or the painkillers are working good... welcome back.
PS... I'm love Michael Crichton books... need to get that one and read it....

I wish global warning would hurry up. If my calculations are correct a 7.34 degree shift in average temperature will melt the polar ice caps to the exact level needed to make my house beachfront property.

well although this is sad for our future i have to say that I have come to realize you cant save the world and you cant control others. Having found this out, "what going to happen is going to happen and there aint a damn thing anyone can do"
So ill keep living as I do mind my own buisness and let this planet run its course. im not into hugging trees or baby seals. Im not into protesting, thats a waste of time. Its too late to reverse anything weve done.....lets just wait for the big boom

No, there is no need to panic, but becoming more informed, and living more consciously with regard to our planet would definately be a good thing.
Last year I went and saw Al Gore's documentary called "An Inconvenient Truth", and it was an eye opener. I recommend it.
I left with a better awareness. Heck, for my next vehicle, I would seriously consider a hybrid.
One quote that I've had in my collection since I was in my teens comes to mind for me here, though I don't know who originally said it...

It took 200,000 years to produce our first billion people, and 130 years to produce our second billion. The third billion took just 30years, the forth 14 years, the fifth 13 years and the sixth 12 years. (1999).
Until about 900 years ago, the earth could sustain less than a billion people using local “current sunlight” to grow renewable resources. Then humans started to use stored “ancient sunlight” in the form of coal. This allowed the population to reach 1 billion by 1850, when oil, another source of trapped ancient sunlight became widely used. Further discoveries of huge oilfields allowed a massive explosion in the population, only sustainable by spending ancient sunlight.
Whichever way you look at it, with resources dwindling and the population burgeoning something will have to give. Frankly, my dears, I don’t suppose The World GIVES a damn. It did fine before we came along and will probably do fine after we leave.
A nice bowl of Nuclear fusion, anyone?

well this is the one issue that almost anyone can be goatherded into believing is true by sensationalistic bullsh*t....quote the right set of statistics and anyone with an agenda looks like a genius. Overstate them into unrealistic time frames and you look even smarter bc you start theOMG factor. The only thing strict "enviromental" regulation does is spring up nice little subeconomies and beaurocracies fueled by regulatory enforcement......once theyre in place they do not go away,and the only people they benefit is the ones now riding this cash cow. People forget that regulation means enforcement and the very same people who feed on selling the public this supposed nirvana are teh same ones that will put them out of business or make the cost of doing business "in compliance" so expensive its unaffordable.....the very thing everyone bitches about. Its in these cases we forget things like the 20-30cent per gallon tax on gasoline,the now astronimical price of freon,the much quoted here removal of lead form paint etc etc..and then they blame "big corporations" for being evil instead of placing the blame where it actually belongs. The most important thing to remember about any of this BS is this.....the earth goes thru cycles every few thousand years where it either heats or cools,ice age,polar ice melts,whatever....good luck being so pompous as humans to think we have any control over that at all.

Bruce Ward basically said its business as usual for him.
This truly is a shame because most persons think the same way while there is so much more to worry about in the near future for the Free World.
Just sit back and relax and watch while our governments slowly take our freedoms away in their everyday quest to fight terrorism while stuffing their pockets to protect their wealth. You and your children are tools to those who run this world.
Three Arkansas surgeons were playing golf together and discussing surgeries they had performed. One of them said, "I'm the best Surgeon in Arkansas. In my favorite case, a concert pianist lost seven fingers in an accident, I reattached them, and 8 months later he performed a private concert for the Queen of England. The second surgeon said. "That's nothing. A young man lost an arm and both legs in an accident, I reattached them, and 2 years later he won a gold medal in track and field events in the Olympics. "The third surgeon said, "You guys are amateurs. Several years ago a cowboy in Texas was high on cocaine and marijuana and he rode a horse head-on into a train traveling 80 miles an hour. All I had left to work with was the cowboys head and the horse's ass. I was able to put them together and now he's the president of the United States!!!

No Curtis, you're wrong. The was a joke from an email I received about 5 years ago although the one circulating now was changed to meet its republican counterparts. Do ya homework. Curtis just because you're a full fledged republican it doesn't mean you're right as you can see by the cowboy who has horrible ratings in this country. Eventually the truth always surpasses the lies.

I'm not all that concerned about global warming, but I am concerned about all the butt ugly signs polluting our landscape. Who wants to live in a World like that!
On a more serious note. If you spend your time watching the news, you will see a constant series of news stories designed to scare the living daylights out of you. Almost all of these "facts" are beyond my control.
This BB has the potential to educate, and perhaps contribute in some small way, to help improve global bad signs. Let the Environmental Forums debate these larger questions.
BTW? Anyone know how to kern the word LAWYER in all caps so that it looks good?

And Al Gore will reap a million dollar kickback, from the billions, he help send in grant money to "living pretty damn high on the hog scientist" all over the world, in the form of the Nobel Peace Prize. And all these dickweeds can come up with is: "Global Warming is likely Man-made." Pretty poor return for the money!!!! Now Chirac wants an enviromental police force!!!! Who the hell is listening to the UN and look at how much hot air is coming from that experiment! I believe in Global Warming, because I can physically feel it. That's right!!! I GET A CHU ROUGE EVERY TIME I HEAR ABOUT IT.

iam so sorry for all you politicos....GLOBAL WARMING IS NOT POLITICAL.....IT ENVRONMENTAL....goes ta show how iteligent the nay says are......and who they are politically alinging them selfs with. SCIENTISTS for the most part have no politics..... when you got a majority of scientist sayin the same thing...YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION....no matter what politics you fall under.... its really dumb when you got a cheerleader, ex baseball team owner, oil family, C college student, who flunked the bar exam 3 times, and got a college degree in economics....TELL YOU ABOUT SOMETHING he has no education in. what does that say about you? i belive in dinosaurs and eveolution, and the fact that thes old world has been spinning around a long long time. it dont take a great scientific mind to see the changes that have taken place since most of us have been here. most of ya can remember winters that was winters, and summers that was hot during the day and cool at nite. i belive we as humans should pay more attention to what we are doin to the planet...but hey most of us are instant gratifaction, horray for me and screw the the future, i wont be to worry about it type people....how selfish can we get?

Let's see... Rule #1: Anything in excess can become harmful.
Pretty much evident to anyone with a mentality greater than a shoe horn that we use fossil fuels more now than ever. Considering the amount of toxins burnt into the air, it's not surprising that it would eventually affect the atmosphere...not exactly science, but just common sense. Hell, you can overdose from Twinkies if you eat enough of them.
The Ozone layer's been affected...plenty of evidence to that. How? Probably us. Cow farting aside, we are the industrial species on the planet and the byproducts of that are widely considered the cause. In the last 100 years we've spewed more crap into the air than all of the Earth's history before it. Just a matter of quantity and capacity. Fill the container with caustic and corrosive stuff and sooner or later, it rots. Rule #1 again.
Okay, we did the damage, but what leads anyone to believe that we can fix it in any hurry. By the time the technology or conservation plans kick in, we'll be too late...we seem to be past the point of repair already. The wounds in the atmosphere are already in place and, whether we like it or not, Mother Nature is gonna heal in her own time. None of us here are gonna live that long to see it happen, but our children will...so long as we don't open the wounds any further.
Got kids? What would you do the make sure they won't have to wear SPF710 sunblock at the beach? Rapid

I think I'll just go fiddle while Rome burns! Or bury my head in the sand.
Whether ya like it or not what you do has an impact. Put a couple compact flourescent in yer house. Save some money on the electric bill. Do that in every house in the US and reduce carbon emissions dramaticlly. Win Win. It can't hurt, and ya gotta replace them burnt out bulbs anyway... In 2 months I recovered the cost in electric bill savings. Take a handful of grocery bags to the store with ya, reuse em, save the world Seriously! It ain't hard, just be aware that you have an impact on YOUR environment! My 2 cents

Seems like theres more to the phrase Us and Them. They make available what we use then tell us what we can do to resolve the problem while they stuff their pockets. They offer solutions to their problems while we foot the expences. There are a few of us who minimize the bills while protecting ourselves from everything, gamma rays to polution while they are indignant to the world around them while stuffing their pockets. Bill Dirkes makes sense to what all of us know, W.R. also.
Si sent out an email yesterday in regards to immigration which certainly makes more sense then anything you are going to read this year at least anything that you are going to understand.
What Ray says is understandable but isn't totally under our control, not by a longshot and the reason for this is because we are not the manufacturers of the products who stuff our pockets but only the consumers who foot the bill.
You want electric vehicles? What source of electric is going to be supplied and how are we going to get it and who is going to supply it and who is going to pay for while they stuff their pockets?
I totally resent any remark that we did the damage! I totally refuse to believe that we can do anything without the help of our governments doing their share for the enviroment while spending billions upon billions to unite this world so they can stuff their pockets all the while showing us examples of what we can do to help to stop this or that while stealing from Mother Earth is every direction possible while still stuffing their pockets.
How many here believe in solar energy, sustainable housing and recycling? All these are possible but yet when it comes to building a house, the masses look at a stick built home, a home which either uses oil, gas, propane or electric for heat, a home which uses fiberglass insulation which loses its ability to heat or cool once its put between the studs. Sip homes and other sustainable houses are reality in this day and age and are built but only a handful will take the plunge.
And all of this stuff put together will still need your governmental inspectors to be educated as well as educating contractors and the of course the general public. Yes this here country wastes energy, wastes food, wastes education and wastes just about anything they get their hands on including your children who are put forth on journeys half way around this planet, all while stuffing their pockets while their children gets the best education so they can follow in daddys footsteps and never have to worry about being in harmsway, all while stuffing their pockets.
Have a nice day
