QUOTE An incredible 31,072 Americans with university degrees in science, including 9,021 Ph.D.s, have signed a petition that flatly denies Al Gore’s claims that human-caused global warming is a settled scientific fact. QUOTE On Monday, Dr. Arthur Robinson of the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine, (OISM) announced the results of a drive asking scientists to sign a petition stating: “We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto Japan in December 1997, and any other similar proposals. The proposed limit on greenhouse gasses would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.†The petition went on to say, “There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the earth’s climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the earth.†So either way, the root of all our problems is STILL overpopulation, and we're going to defer money from the space program to pay for a bunch of horse shit environmental whackos companies can make tofu-powered tricycles so they can all feel wonderful. Go Al Gore! -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!

i think making some conservative changes here on earth is a lot cheaper, easier and faster than developing and building the technology to sustain life on another planet, wacko

I think we need a good planet to goto first. Seriously I am skeptical about CO2 and the global warming thing, but we do put lots of crap in our enviroment.

Good job, whacko It's a shame you people can't realize that technology developed to sustain life in even harsher environments than here on earth will eventually propagate into usable technology HERE on earth to make life berter. Where the hell do you think the integrated circuit came from? Where do you think hydrogen fuel calls came from? It's INCREDIBLY small minded and short sided to not support a very aggressive space program. -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!

Gas is $3.76 here. Glad I don't have my truck anymore.

I seriously can't wait for this whole global warming thing to completley blow up in Al Gore's face .... god I'm gonna laugh when that happens.

I saw a commercial for Fuel Cell Vehicles from Honda. I know water vapor absorbs IR energy at different wavelengths than C02, but at a lot more wavelenghts. I wonder if we all drove fuel cell cars, would we be causing more greenhouse gasses or would the extra emissions just saturate and cause more rain? This is an honest question for somebody like Eric.

if it truly is just plain old water vapor i dont see how it would act any different in the atmosphere... just my guess though

Its more of the thermal IR that the earth emits and not Water's specific heat but more that is absorbs much more wavelenths of energy. IE heat energy that would normally excape the earth would be trapped. -------------------- Southern Rock, beer and bears!
