I'm not surprised, Space daily I think we are heading for a rigourous paradigm shift.

In a low key admission, Bush officials are allowing that they were wrong in their summary dismissal of man induced atmospheric warming. link:www.nytimes.com/2002/06/03/science/03CLIM.html

With all the talk of wind, solar power, the hydrogen economy, nuclear power and efficiency as ways of averting global warming, depletion of resources, has anyone contemplated simply reducing the amount of humans? Say, down to half a billlion? Ditch the baby bonus', link aid to third world...

Global warming on retreat. The British press is usually in the top scaremongers when it’s about the potential disasters of Anthropogenic Global Warming. It’s about finished by now. See how elegant the retreat is: http://news.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/07/18/wsun18.xml

Im, sure global warming has been debated many times, but have we learnt anything from all the data recordings taken all over the world, surly they would show a weather, "trend", in the UK we have had local record breaking weather conditions, rain fall, temperature and wind speed. .But...

Every time I read about global warming (cooling) and climate change, I have a tendency to think: this is such a longterm problem, with very few consequences for our lives; it should be of no concern to us. The other day I read that Greenland's entire icecap could melt by the year 2350 (oh...

Okay, what a long road this has been on this forum... Anyway, per the suggestion of another member, I will introduce and sum up OS 012 here in the hopes that this community will participate in and add to the Open Source Global Dialectic that is about a year and a half old, and spreading all...

"No doubt": Human Activity Affecting Global Climate Change An interesting link that I had tucked away. http://globalchange.gov/ Here is one story from the link. http://globalchange.gov/

Hello Everyone, If global warming wasn't enough, we now have "global dimming" to add to the equation. Although i get a funky feeling in the pit of my stomach both global warming and global dimming are inter-connected. Here's a...

Is there any practice, belief, value, etc ... in human history (recorded that is) that has remained constant throughout the ages? Is there nothing we can agree on? If no, then does it mean that no matter what we agree in the future - there can never be a claim of total universality (of the...

Hello All, I've always been curious about historical seismic activity prior to the 20th century. Then the advent of the last century until now, i have heard that seismic activity has increased dramatically. Then i got to conceptualizing how many underground nuclear test's have been...

I'm a physicist, and a skeptic. I have been all my life. Now, when it comes to global warming, I admit to not knowing a great deal. It seems that many in Academia feel that this is a legitimate threat. However, I have this growing suspicion about the integrity of many of these academics in...

From another thread: I seem to recall that it was George Bush Senior who introduced the term "global police". He was always, without reason or prompting, throwing into his speaches things like "We don't want to become the world's global police force...", without anyone else ever suggestion...

I may have mentioned this problem in a thread on the old PFs, but I don't remember the answer, and I can't use my Archive C.D. right now, so I figure I should ask again (I'll probably get some new responses anyway): What evidence is there for or against the idea that a giant "water canopy"...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/naturaldisasters/story/0,7369,1068213,00.html I think this author lacks perspecitive in that many scenarios offer little hope, or much that can be done, but I found the article to be interesting.

Here is a http://www.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/articles/2003/10/05/out_of_the_matrix?mode=PF of the philosopher Donald Davidson which suggests that we should forget about Descartes and the notion of inner impressions versus the outside world.

A Weird Idea Greetings. I have this idea, i know it is not really good (i already realized some of its weakness), but i thought i will put it here, since i believe that as it gets discussed (if it will) i might learn sth new. Ok, my idea is like a new way to make world-wide communication...

Is global warming really that bad? Just imagine, right now we're all "polluting" the atmosphere with "pollutants", like sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide and what-nots. Isn't this just like the time when oxygen was being pumped into the atmosphere by cyanobacteria and plants a...
