how long will it last before they need to add more

Boil up some espresso ground coffee in a turkish coffee maker, line the mug/cup with lime juice and just a squeeze into the center, add sugar, then black rich coffee gold and WHOAH. You have a treat.

I just don't see this supposed global warming from C0^2. We should spend all this money and time on real problems.

How long?

Why is the font in this article so little and strange!?

Wrong links, wrong css... what's up with publishing?

So what happens to the sea life when you add to mutch carbon or calcium hydroxide in the water? They cant "investigate" how every living thing will react to it, theres always something that will react to it..

No real solution is nuking US and going electric only, or wait for the climate to change and balance itself and live in a different world where Europe is ice age and US a desert..

I still don't believe that co2 is causing a global warming to a degree that it is made out to be.

Will c02 cause a warming of the atmosphere?

Sure....

How big of an effect does human CO2 have on global warming?


Has it occurred to any one of these fools that the current warming trend is not associated with the human co2 levels, but rather, is a natural occurrence in nature that happens every few thousands of years?

If you look at the current records, temperatures have only risen a measly 0.6 degrees C in the last 40 years!

Does anyone know that c02 makes up a VERY small amount of the atmosphere at just 0.03 percent.

Did you know that our common cows and pig produce more then 65% of the human related co2 while the rest is from all our factories, cars, planes, trains, and boats along with everything else?

Maybe we should just kill all of our livestock and that would fix our SUPPOSED global warming issue that will wreak havoc on this planet.

I don't believe that human related CO2 is causing a rise in temperature and basically has an almost 0 effect on the warming trend of the earth.

Is the earth getting warmer? Maybe

But is it us humans that is doing it? No, I don't think so.

Are all the Global Warming experts trying to spread fear to the general population? Of course.

After all, this is how they make a living.

If they find there is no global warming due to human related causes....OH NO!! there goes all our income right out the window.


I don't think it is up to us humans to try and change the course of how the earth runs her course.

Why do we as measly humans of this little planet feel we need to try need to make the earth run as how WE see fit? Isn't clear that all natural disasters that could cause the earths distruction is out of our control?
Yellowstone National Park erupting and causing an ice age is highly probable and is what should be the subject of concern rather then global warming.

Let them throw lime in the ocean. Will it fix anything? No. It will cause more harm then good and will probably wreak havoc on the ecosystem of the ocean.

I better stop ranting now......

that's just my opinion on these issues of global warming

Hope this doesn't change the pH of the seawater....

I predict bad things, and agree with Brent's conclusion and argument

Brent - I share some of your sentiment on this issue. I also believe that the global warming problems have been in some cases grossly exxagerated.
I do think we make an impact, and I do believe we should do something about it, but the 'horror stories' that get told about it are starting to wear thin. There is plenty of evidence to suggest that natural factors are contributing in a significant manner to the process of global warming, factors we can't control or even influence. We don't know enough about the earths history to know fully the extent of natural influences on climate change, and so in some cases, it's being assumed its completely human induced.
You are also correct in that humans are full of their own importance. We think we have the power to screw around with nature and control our existence. We clearly don't. There are hundreds of things which could wipe out great swathes of the human population, and leave the earth just fine. We live on a knife edge of existence. This is why I also agree in that dumping large amounts of lime into the oceans will be folly - leading to all sorts of problems we didnt forsee.

I will continue to be environmentally concious (or 'green') as a result of living in a responsible manner. I recycle because I can and should - there's no need to waste a finite resource. I drive a 50mpg car because it's practical, doesn't waste fuel, and therefore saves me money. I turn off electricity when I don't need it because wasting is gluttony and laziness. etc etc.
Being responsible in your life is something everyone should do, and should have done long before this 'green' fad came about. I have no respect for the people who have caught on to the fad and are now spewing it everywhere like they are the only people with morals and brainpower. They should have done it long before. I especially hate the companies who are cynically exploiting the whole situation by claiming to be 'green' and making 'green' products. Most of them remain irresponsible in their corporate actions, and would(and do) continue to not deal with their waste and emissions as long as not too many people are aware of them.



I'd just like to point out that many of the goals of the global warming movement are laudable - improving efficency, reducing waste, etc. I just disagree with their methods and some of their motivation. It's a sad case when we have to scare people with stories of doom and gloom just to get them to be sensible in the way they live their lives. We shouldn't even need global warming to aim for and achieve these goals, this should be common sense.

lime from limestone not actual lime's. wow. and if you don't consider c02 emissions as a problem than you are seriously uneducated. i'd prefer less global warming.

"Bureaucrats at the American Physical Society (APS) have issued a curious warning to their members about an article in one of their own publications. Don't read this, they say - we don't agree with it. But what is it about the piece that is so terrible, that like Medusa, it could make men go blind?"
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2...kton_aps/

Here is a quote from the letter they are referring to:

"With this issue of Physics & Society, we kick off a debate concerning one of the main conclusions of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the UN body which, together with Al Gore, recently won the Nobel Prize for its work concerning climate change research. There is a considerable presence within the scientific community of people who do not agree with the IPCC conclusion that anthropogenic CO2 emissions are very probably likely to be primarily responsible for the global warming that has occurred since the Industrial Revolution. "

9000 PhD signatures stating that global warming is NOT due to C02 produced by man:

Global warming is in cycle as some evidence from the above petition:
http://www.oism.org/pproject/GWReview_OISM600.pdf

There are a LOT of other thoughts out there by people that see differently than Al Gore, with the guts and brains to say something about it. I don't think we should waste our resources at all, I do think we need to be honest and real about what the facts are.

I have a bio minor another major, took chem, organic Chem and know the difference between lime and limes. I still like limes in my turkish coffee. I'd make you one if you were here. :)
