Global Stuff
I agree that global warming is real and undeniable. There are many causes for this. Here are some of the main components:
1) Oscillations in solar radiation entering the atmosphere. This includes the magnetosphere and solar cycles.
2) Volcanic activity. A single volcano can emit more CO2 in one eruption than the sum of all human activity. (A caveat to this is the dust created will reflect sunlight.)
Now, that having been said, here are some human problems which everyone is well versed.
1) CFC input causing degradation of the Ozone layer. Surprisingly, it is repairing itself faster than previously thought.
2) Deforestation. Plain and simple, 20% of the filtering capacity of the planet comes from these areas. (Archeabacteria and cyanobacteria actually created most of the O2 we breath.)
3) Sulfuric and Nitric emissions come from fossil fuels. (Acid rain)
I have been a tree hugger before it was popular. I agree to get off of fossil fuels and on to renewables. Preferably solar power, H2 power (which can be easily adapted to autos) and fuel cells.
Ok, I am spent....:ack:
Hey! I am ordering my 657X engine today!!:hurray:

Hmmmmm, saving the earth and burning fuel for fun...I'll have to think about that...:rofl:
Intelligent!....
:cheers:It's nice to know that there are people in the science community of the forum that I can have a good debate with.
Your last response was very valid and factual. I watched a documentary not long ago about the amounts of CO2 and sulfur dioxide released to the atmosphere through volcanic eruptions.....but what surprised me most, was the amount of methane being realeased in huge underwater pockets in our oceans..........some methane gas releases have been said to be the cause of some ship disapperances..........I don't know about all that, but anything is possible........
Great discussion jr........I like this kinda thinkin..................:cheers:

Those are drilling ships. They opened a pocket of methane that caused the ship to loose buoyancy. The methane aerates the water, causing it to loose its density and the ship sinks. There has been discussion as to whether or not the losses in the Bermuda triangle were a result of this phenomenon.
When dealing with academia, it's not whether or not your idea is correct. It is how well you defend your argument. (I've got friends with PhD's that can't figure out s**t! Even with a 3X5 glossy with a paragraph on the back explaining what to do.)
OK, you guys have outed the fact I am a nerd, well, not to a huge degree.....

Well, you make me feel better anyway...........and I thought I was the only one in here........here's to us nerds!......:cheers:.........and those that don't understand us, here's to them too................:cheers:

Dave, I do my part too, I gave up drinking beer in single 16 0z cans for a 1/4 kegs to help the environment.
I tried that with wine....I just couldn't wait that long for a cold one.:ack:
Making wine....
In the military, you don't have the ability to go out and have a cool one any time you'd like. When we would do replenishment detail, me and a few buddies would stand in the "passing" line by our escape scuttle. When the grapes, apples, sugar, and yeast came by, we'd drop a bit of it down the hole. Then after the detail was over, we'd go down to the "snipes" pit and mash up all the grapes and apples and put them in a empty 5 gallon AFFF (aqueous film forming foam) jug, fill it with the 5 pounds of sugar, one bag of the yeast and the rest was water. Then, we had put a nipple from the piping used to repair steam gages on the top. We didn't have a ballon, so we used a condom.
When the yeast is active and the fermentation process is taking place, the ballon expands. You have to keep an eye on the ballon over the days. When the ballon starts to shrink, then you open the jug and strain the mixture off with a cheese cloth and then put it back in the jug, cap the nipple so that the jug is now sealed. Then, you store it in a cool, dry place for 2 weeks.............then, it's party time!..............you talk about some nasty tasting crap.........arghhhhhhhhhhhhh.....but it will get you messed up to the bone.
We went onboard one of the English Aircraft carriers and met some of the engineering crew. They told us that they took Aquavelva, you know, the aftershave, took a loaf of bread, sliced off both heels at either end, then drained the bottles of after shave through the loaf of bread. It acted as a fliter. That's what they drank.......sounded even nastier than our wine.....either way, being at sea for several months at a time, you learn how to do things to pass the time.....................:cheers:

Temps.
Okay guys don't be complaining two weeks ago here in Missouri we had 3 inches of snow and the temperature was -20*F. Today 3-19-08 it was raining and 56*F, and it is 34*F now. So all you southerners come and enjoy the weather up here. It is so nice!! NOT! I would kill to be in Florida right now.

Yea, weather here in S.W. Florida is in the low 80's...water temp. in the Gulf is 74*f. Think I'll wax my boat today again...hand me a cold beer...
Well it's Easter and today it is cloudy and over cast...no sun in sunny Florida today or yesterday for that matter.It rained all day yesterday,which doesn't happen very often.

Snow!?!?!?
We got snow on Monday! What the.........heck. (sue me) I watched a snow line come up on me while I was sitting in traffic. Today it was 74'F. Grrrr. I just started finishing the last bits of the deck in the back when I was frozen off. Today I had to scramble to finish. (The doo gets finished when the deck is done.) A honey do.

Honey doo's....
It wouldn't matter how many honey doo's I did, she still adds more just to keep me from working on my baby......and then, she's the first one to scream about the boat not being ready for summer!.............:ack:
