Global Warming, This is NOT a debate

[Mephiles]

Global warming is becoming more serious now! Please do what you can to help!

Turning your computer off and unused light while not in use is a good start.

I don't really do it for global warming reasons, I think we're already doomed. Saves on the electricity bill though.

Cell phone chargers use energy while plugged into an outlet with or without a cellphone plugged in.

Global warming is not man-made, there, I said it.

i'm with Tom on this one..

For those interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_op..._climate_change (summary: the IPCC thinks there's a >90% probability it's our fault)

Not usually keen on linking wikipedia for contentious issues, but in this case it's fairly well vetted, and has sources attributed.

EDIT: and for the other side: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientists_op..._global_warming

johnnny howard dooesnt care about what we have a threat against aussies are the most like ly to suffer this fate first guys
but in time... we shall alll suffer it shalll we not? we must fight against this recycle be proper humans not waste our world away
like money

If you don't think it's man-made, read this:

all i know is that if global warming happens, we will have another ice age. thats what im afraid of. But would this ice age fix all of our problems? at least i know my PC would love it. but it still a scary thought.

Tom You said global warming is not man made.

green house gas's? not man made?

gas for your car? fume's comeing out exausts can cause global warming

i say go bio diesel or bust to help prevent the happening of global warming....

aerosol spray cans

not debateing it im just stateing some facts...

[EMOruffino]

actually, toyota came to my classes and brought some of their new hybrids, and with that super car that has 500HP and uses less exhaust then a fag, i mean pretty cool.

also they say their working on a car that will run from NewYork to California on one tank of gas.

[Colin]

I could easily modify a car to go from cali to NY on one tank of gas, one big ass tank of gas that is

lmao was thinking the same thing then i scrolled down and saw your post

..i saw come college kids stroll through my town 1 day down here in cali. im not sure i think they where from berkley. with an old VW Van going from resterant to resterant gathering veggie OIL ....or was it grease i dont remember fully but it was freaking awesome so many ways to conserve gas. and they come up with a genius IDEA like that.

Yeah...I remember seeing something like that on some Mtv commercial

I swear I am not doing a very good job at turning off my computer and unused light. :|

Better ways to make gas because..

• We pollute with gas.
  
• We are running out fast.
  
• Its not cool to die by ice.

Nuff said.

As Bread mentioned I still turn off my PC at night as well as all other appliances, also turn lights off when not in use etc. but that's purely for economical reasons.

I don't believe its us causing it. The fact is the earth is always changing whether we carpool and turn out computers off at night or we drive v-8 muscle cars and leave our computers on 24/7. I do the same as tom for the same reasons. Nothing lasts forever, even the sun will eventually die out, then where will we be?


ps: im not hating on muscle cars

[Dwayne]

I don't care for Global Warming, plus, I believe the Military uses alot of electricity, so me turning off my lights and unplugging things, wont help.

[Alex]

Ziprock, hopefully some other terraformed planet . The Sun's death isn't the more worrying future possibility, what is currently quite popular is the idea that the universe's expansion will continue to accelerate, spreading out the available energy to such an extent that it can't form matter any longer because of the laws of thermodynamics. The only viable solution I can see is to somehow encapsulate a small area, and keep it at a fairly high energy density - but not being a theoretical physicist I'm not sure on the feasibility of that.

Anyway, back on topic, I turn most things off - but not this box since it's running some services like zbot (zIRC's factoid/stuff bot). When I'm asleep all the peripherals go off though.

complicated and interesting

[EMOruffino]

the earth is just "renewing itself" apparently on the history channel they said this has happened 6 times!?!?

[Mephiles]

And don't forget, we live in the 21st century. In the last ice age, no one could coupe, but we have central heating air conditioners. We might be able to survive better.
