I traded my roadster for a used Hummer H1, try to eat beef whenever possible and crank the AC!

The same crew who believes in Global warming seem to be the same kind of folks who thought that the Earth was flat and burned women at the stake for witchcraft. What flavor is your kool-aid?

Over 33,000 accredited U.S. scientists have signed a petition refuting global warming. What say you?
Just wanted for all the alarmists to read it again. HA!

Why doesn’t every one just live and be happy? Do you think it’s a coincidence that Mars, Pluto, and Jupiter’s temperatures have all increased proportionately to Earth’s over the past few years? Could it be…sun-spot’s?…NO!…but that would mean we’ve all changed the way we live FOR NOTHING!

Can you name some of the worst kinds of Pollutants in the environment? Thanks
Also if anyone knows any decent sources to get information on Pollutants that would be great, as i’m trying to learn more.

By this I mean things that save or earn you money, save you time, enrich your life etc.

Examples might be insulating your home to save you money and improve the warmth of your house, and shopping online (this is not only convenient, but is calculated to have a dramatically lower carbon footprint than going to the supermarket).

Please stick to things that there can be little argument about. For example, many people wouldn’t agree that cycling instead of driving improves your life.

Additional note: If you happen to think that global warming is a "scam", feel free to answer the question, but please do not voice your scam theories. I consider it very rude, especially since it has nothing to do with what I asked, and will block anyone who does this.

I’m working on a research paper for school and I have to have biology built into it. (I know, stupid) Anyways, during the Korean War, what did weapons do to affect the environment? What kinds of gases do they release?

These stupid nonsense phrases are an affront to intelligence. There’s no such THING as a "carbon footprint" in the context they mean it. The whole thing is a farse to begin with, but what they mean to say is "oxygen footprint", since it is ozone (tri-oxygen) that is said to "cause" the problem.

Even if the global warming fantasy was real, carbon is just an innocent bystander!
Technically speaking, ANY human footprint is by definition a "carbon footprint", since we are made up of carbon-based molecules.

Please describe the most significant initiative you have taken to improve your immediate environment (work/school/family)

Does cremation create a large carbon footprint?

Posted by admin on Mar-30-2010

I guess some people won’t care cos after they’re cremated they’re not gonna be around to experience the bad effects it creates on the environment!
I don’t actually give a sh*t about global warming, I was just wondering. I def wanna be buried though, it just seems so much more natural, I want to let the worms and little organisms decompose me and have a nice meal, not be burnt by some sweaty bloke and then have me bones ground up just to be put in a pot to go on some relatives mantlepiece, nah its back to the earth for me!
