    Are climate change deniers behind on both fiction and non-fiction categories now?

    In a recent question asks deniers to explain spectroscopic measurements of outgoing IR from satellite instruments that indicate increasing energy retention due to atmospheric CO2. http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AiwhHR4kXaarDbSEBTFqN7_AFQx.;_ylv=3?qid=20120315224228AA1vjff...

    Is the US debate about CO2 emission policies moot?

    The US imports $380 billion worth of oil and has a $653 billion overall trade deficit. The total debt per citizen is $179,358 and rising. Objectively, US consumers can't pay for the energy they are consuming on a current basis. Will creditors stop lending to US governments and consumers...

    What is the best technique for a tower lift?

    The tower is one man as the base and one person standing on the shoulders of the base. I need to know both roles. How is the lift choreographed? Any tips for balance up top when the base walks?

    Which is the larger debt: climate change effects or western civilization?

    Third world countries are asking for climate change compensation. Those same countries have seen their grain harvests triple, quantum improvements in control and treatment of infectious diseases, education, electricity, modern communications and transport systems thanks to western civilization...

    Need help on ensuring that climate change does not lead to conflict?

    The UN does not have the resources or mandate to deal with the scope of problems from resource limitations. I think that population growth will bring the resource limitation issues to a crisis decades ahead of climate change alone. 2008 spike in food prices showed that the human population is...

    In terms of climate change does it make any difference if CO2 is released

    Interesting question. I think that the physical processes will be insensitive to the rate of CO2 buildup, but the biological feedbacks may be sensitive and unpredictable. A slower rate of CO2 release might enable biological sequestration to take a larger fraction of the CO2 emitted out of...

    Scientists include levels of confidence with their climate change data because:?

    C, but I would prefer the wording "they are indicating the level of uncertainty in the result". Scientists analyze sources of uncertainty and the propagation of that uncertainty in calculated results. This analysis is used in the design of research programs to minimize the uncertainties. A...
