Here are some facts about global warming. Some of which you hear and don't hear from the main stream media:
1.) The world appears to be getting warmer with many computer models showing an increase in global temperature.
2.) Tying a trend to warmer temperatures based on older data from the early 1900's is suspect at best. Good, reliable, accurate scientific equipment that measures the temperature wasn't readily available until recently (late 1900's).
3.) Apparently, the Earth magnetic field has decreased by 10% in the last 150 years (source: http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/earth_magnet ic_031212.html). I'm an electrical engineer and during my studies in particle physics, I learned that a particles velocity can be affected by magnetic fields. I believe it's possible that more of the Sun's radiation is penetrating the Earth's magnetosphere ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_magnetic_fiel d ) due to it being weaker. If more radiation hits the Earth, shouldn't that also increase the overall temperature of the Earth and can global warming be attributed to this?
4.) Jupitor is experiencing the same climate change that Earth is. (source: http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/060504_red_j r.html [space.com])
5.) Mars is experiencing the same climate change that Earth is. (source: http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/solarsystem/ mars_snow_011206-1.html and http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/new s/news.html?in_article_id=410901&in_page_id=1770)
How can you explain the recent same climate changes on different planets? I doubt it's all those cars being driven there.
6.) The United Nations found that there is more Methane produced from livestock, which raises global temperature greater than CO2 by a factor of approx. 20, than any human caused CO2 combined (source: http://www.fao.org/newsroom/en/news/2006/1000448/i ndex.html)
Is it possible that the warmer temperatures that Earth is experiencing are caused by cyclical natural phenomena? What about glaciers in Greenland that have been shrinking for 100 years (source: http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/08/21/060821191 826.o0mynclv.html [breitbart.com])? Also, how do you explain huge ice ages on Earth? Were thse caused by huge carbon emissions or was it a small natural climate cycle that just happens? Were those climate changes, which are no doubt more extreme than what's going on now, caused by the combustion engine? I don't have answers and everyone seems to have an opinion including a Nobel laureate who says the answer is more pollution (source: http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science/11/16/smog.wa rming.ap/index.html)
One last thing. Lets say we all buy into the fact that we're causing the climate change through CO2. Regardless of what actions we (America) take, China will still produce more CO2 than anyone because they want to get rich. There's no stopping it.
What is wrong with the left wing in this country?!? Are you f*%#'in serious? It's times like this where I truly question progressive philosophy and it's ulterior motives to do harm rather than good.
Bottom line, we have an education problem in this country and less homework is not the answer.
That's the real lesson to learn from all the fundamentalist chrsitian movements...A society that doesn't appreciate some form of spirituality is pretty empty, but a society to embraces spirituality above all other things is hardly removed from barbarism.
I'm not sure that's true. Religion has a way of focusing the mind. Think of it like a drug. Say religion is like coffee. You drink a cup and you can read and think a bit faster. Drink a keg and you've lost your mind. Just like many things, moderation is the key.
It's not fear or propaganda that has effected the way I think. I'm perfectly calm when I tell you if a group of people want to kill my mother/father/brother/sister, I want to keep an eye on them. Not only am I calm but I disagree with your assertion that I'm not rational. It's only natural to try and protect the ones you love.
I don't want my government tracking citizens because citizens have a right to live in their own country freely. The jury is still out about the foreigners though. I'm weary of foreigners who want to harm my family and I'd consider tracking them if things got bad.
I laughed when I read the headline to this thread. To suggest this to be true is no different than saying P2P doesn't exist. Of course P2P affects sales. I'm starting to lose respect for Slashdot and their inability to control their biasness. Parading notions like this only hurts the credibility of this site.

Even if there was somebody out there the distance is so great it's unlikely ever to physically encounter them. Then again, the future may hold crazy means of travel. *shrugs*

You might want to call Joe's Diploma Emporium and ask for your money back: magnetic force (and thus acceleration) is always perpendicular to the velocity of a charge. No amount of magnetic fields can increase or decrease the speed of a charged particle (and certainly not an uncharged one).
