Amy, the ones I posted are also in the documentary directed by Jennifer Baichwal called 'Manufactured Landscapes', where she follows the photographer to China. Worth a watch.

I think the Earth is going throw some natural climate changes, things we cannot stop obviously. It does make sense to be green and at least clean up the mess we've created and keep developing nations from making the same mistakes as the developed ones have. How do you tell a man trying to feed his family that cutting down this tree hurts the planet? They did that in my home state in Washington (look up The Spotted Owl) because of an endangered owl and closed down an entire industry. Those loggers whose families lived in those towns (Aberdeen and such) never did find new "green" jobs or other jobs to replace those shut down by the government and had to leave. Tourism didn't save those towns either. Those places a ghost towns now and I don't know if I could tell people that they have to give up their lively hood because of the environment.

The government and private industry sure won't help those people get new jobs. Fucking let down like everything else they do(powers that be).

sorry, side tracked...........just recycle dammit and walk more often. You're probably out of shape and need the exercise anyway.

eeep. a huge piece of antarctica has suddenly caved in

""WASHINGTON (AP) -- A chunk of Antarctic ice about seven times the size of Manhattan suddenly collapsed, putting an even greater portion of glacial ice at risk, scientists said Tuesday.

Satellite images show the runaway disintegration of a 160-square-mile chunk in western Antarctica, which started February 28. It was the edge of the Wilkins ice shelf and has been there for hundreds, maybe 1,500 years.

This is the result of global warming, said British Antarctic Survey scientist David Vaughan."

Ha, true. But Geography, on a whole, is big.

Biogeography is great aswell, some animals have human like intelligence. Parrots can be taught to understand smybols

Why's the Iceberg blue?

also, I dont see how people cant see that Global warming is happening, it is. The real question is, are we the ones doing it?

I don't believe the effect of man is big enough to cause all this, certainly we have a small influence but I think the earth is preparing it self for a new ice age.
The problem is that so many scientists have invested time and money in global warming that they can't come forward and say that there is nothing we can really do. There are some theories around that subject.

Also if we look at planets around us scientists say that the heat there has also been increasing. There are two teams around this subject, people cause global warming vs. planet causes global warming, pick a side

a LOT of scientists are saying it's all bullshit. nobody's listening to them. public hysteria as usual.

Why make you own opinion when you can follow the crowd? Quite sad IMO
