well earth had ice ages and warm ups in the past. why this would be this different ?

[CD5Passion]

because it's not being caused naturally, it's due to us humans destroying our own home.
we're the only animal that destroys its enviroment:|

Agh I hate this "Global Warming" bs.

We havent been taking serious measurments of anything long enough to say whether its real or not...its all speculation.

Ditto. Just because some news site posts that the world will turn to ice by 20xx doesn't mean it will really happen. There is lots of speculation on global warming and nothing has been set in stone.

True...but the science is sound. I've got an idea to reduce emissions...start killing people. Then, kill tons of cows to feed the remaining people since cows produce tons of methane and humans produce greenhouse gases by simply breathing...let alone driving, industrial pollution, etc. Problem solved.

...what people are you going to kill?

[GT40FIED]

Dude...I can only offer the hypothesis. Someone else will have to carry out the policies.

hydrogen, its the future.

[GT40FIED]

That would be a great idea, but I'm told we don't have the tech to get enough in a practical manner. We actually had a whole section on this in one of my classes when we talked about fuel cell cars. It would seem that, although hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, our current tech of extracing it takes up more energy than it conserves and pollutes more than it saves. That could certainly change in the near future, but for now we may be shot outta luck.

just need some solar power, and you're set(at each station that converts water into hydrogen/oxygen). storing it at a high enough capacity is another problem but carbon nanotubes seem like the solution.
