global warming

The paper written about the 9/11 contrails. I don't have a reference sorry.

Edit: that's in reference to dimming. Perhaps what you say abotu warming is true but dimming is another case.

also, i'm not saying that polluting is a good thing. what i am saying is that the cost of keeping our standard of living where it is or higher, while at the same time significantly reducing the levels of pollution, is currently infeasible. scientific research is needed to develop new, cleaner modes of energy production, not cleaning up our current ones.

bwuh, I could use some global warming right now. *shivers&shakes*

We agree then. Nuclear power all the way.

[Endymion]

thank you, i've always supported nuclear power. it's far safer to people and much less harmful on the environment than other types. 'cept solar power. but wind and hydro have horrible effects on ecosystems.

i've always advocated shooting nuclear waste into the sun. we just need do develop cheaper suttle launching technology (holloman sleds?) then we can build huge fucking barges, load them with nuclear waste, and launch it into the sun. problem fuckin' solve.

And no, this doesn't prove anything 100%. Global Dimming is probably the only environmental thing that's actually given me the jibblies, but as Endy said before, the changes in temperature could just be caused by a change in the sun's rays (especially when you look at the fact that Mars' average temperature is going up the same time ours is)

i don't know much about global dimming, but from what i understand it's something you can work with rather than a temperature change which is MUCH harder to track.

it's also been proposed that the temp could be related to the solar system's position in the galaxy... you know.. solar systems orbit around the galactic center much the same as planets orbit the sun. we could be entering into a denser area of a galactic arm or something.

Two fucks in one paragraph. That's a first.

that might also solve the problem of the Sun running out of stuff to "consume" !

well... I suppose it wouldn't do any harm anyway.

I don't think earth could possibly produce enough of anything to keep the Sun going for long.
