Starship Asterisk*

I think GW heat will put a huge strain on fresh water resources. Already I'm sure fracking in America is ruining well water all over the place. If the aquifers get polluted what then? Where the good water is, is where the future wars will be fought unless we learn to share it or make it with desalin...

Is this potentially worse than earlier discharges of radioactive water into the ocean from the plant?

They might try an elaborate huge project to divert ground water around the plant, isolating it?

Droughts and deserts are both intense.

I worry about Africa. What tribes are strong enough to preserve it's nature against encrouching civilization? Would it be true that AGW might not be as intense in Africa bc it is already hot there, centered on the equator? There are river beds under the Sahara, I wonder how Africa would fair if the ...

The "bright side" of global warming :?: I would have thought that there would be more clouds from the extra water vapor in the air. Interesting detailed page about water vapor & clouds. Global Warming, Clouds, and Albedo: Feedback Loops http://www.windows2universe.org/earth/climate/wa...

details, details, details.. yawn. (he said sardonically)

I love lists like this. It's fun going thru them honestly. [quote="Climb mate conned"] What is the consensus on the cause of ice ages? "natural" variability in Earth's weather cycles. That are caused by prevailing weather patterns. Influenced by ocean currents, massive volcano's,...

Of course global warming is real regardless of the cause .. thankfully all the hysteria has made most people forget things like the deadly poisoning of earth's atmosphere and water, we can all die slowly in a warm bed. The struggle for resources may soon intensify and those with money get first cra...

NASA pushing the global warming agenda. Surprised? pushing smushing. Care to explain? Or is it just as simple as NASA saying: "Oh let's try to fool everyone so we can have a laugh, a chuckle, as we watch all the nice folks worry their brains out." NASA isn't getting rich off this problem,...

yes Chris is correct. It's the old almost ancient ice that has dissappeared in the Arctic recently. That ice has just melted quite rapidly, indicating some type of anomoly is occurring. An aspect of this conversation that rarely is mentioned is the SPEED of these melting events, which are unpreceden...

I'm not at all sure what the AGM deniers are up in arms about. The solutions to alleviate it make sense from a resource management point of view. Surely we can all agree less pollution, clean air, clean water, and effective management of scarce resources are goals worth achieving. If they can also ...

and the thrid vid too, just when a huge piece slams into the window on the leftmost pane, he stops filming. Once a window breaks it would be instantly very windy inside that room.

Earth has survived everything in its time. It will certainly survive us. great, just great. We should just sit back with our tv remotes and drive our Hummers and keep overpopulating the land, pushing out any animals that get in our way? It's a huge rock!... with an excruciatingly thin "life-zo...

pardon me, but my brother and a few on this thread talk about the Sun's heat & Global Warming. Can we get an Astronomer to chime in on the facts of said hypotheses please?

Why do kids get hooked on evil drugs?

A: their parents often DON'T act in time, DON'T recognize the signs soon enough, DON'T communicate the warnings well enough, or DON'T care! Let that be a lesson for us all.

http://www.startribune.com/weather/blogs/Paul_Douglas_on_Weather.html ...Strauss says tragedy can be avoided or mitigated with deep global pollution cuts followed by technology that sucks CO2 from the atmosphere. Such bold steps, he says, could help preserve hundreds of coastal communities. If curre...

really? Caution is the better part valor. The science is real. The Sun's heat output (?) is not the only factor.

It made a quantum leap over my head. My positrons blew up after 2.2us. But it doesn't matter, it's a theory of something cool anyways.
