honestly it goes hand and hand what do "those" factories make? who do "they" sell their factory products to? they arent just running these places to see who makes the most smoke. so in a sense yes stop buying everything in stores, and we all live here it is "our" problem. do your part its all "we" can do. point being if you care dont be excessive.
Dear nutguy, your ... ( 5 months ago by crilledisst)
Dear nutguy, your name is right. The CO2 emissions are from the geosphere, being put into the atmosphere while at the same time, we're tearing down the vegetation that uses co2, so it IS a problem. Denying that the environment is going through dramatic changes is pathetic. I'm 35 and i can clearly see changes in the world around me so the process is a fast one.

more like hundreds of millions, the problem is that this latest change is not a natural part of the earths cycles, we have already screwed it up.... when the industrial age is superceded by the carbon age we will hopefully have the technology to have energy without poisoning out planet...
Global Warming ... ( 4 months ago by brizzl85)
Global Warming CAUSES more CO2 emissions...It is NOT CAUSED BY CO2....the oceans are a huge sink of dissolved gasseous carbon dioxide..The ability of water to store CO2 is dependent on temperature.. Heat up the water CO2 comes out (like warm soda drink). That Al Gore movie has so many sheeple fooled
The earth will boil ... ( 3 months ago by KennyCastellon)
The earth will boil up becasue it has to.Fact is we have a core made by flowing magma.The magma has two temperatures that shift becuase of a difference in temperature.Over a LONG period of time wich in astronomical reality is a short time.So that means that where the atmosphere is strong it will be weak, and where its weak, it will be strong.During that transition there will be holes and gaps due to the temporary inbalances in the core.Our earth is going to have north south and south north.
Hopefully you can ... ( 3 months ago by KennyCastellon)
Hopefully you can connect that our atmosphere is going to let in a lot of foreign objects without it destroying, things like radiation and uv rays and heat, and all that other foreign junk that couldnt get it when it could.Nothing can survive, exept maybe roaches, or weird germs we dont know of.

Interesting that we ... ( 2 weeks ago by manwithnobeard)
Interesting that we can see stars in this video, when every "expert" under the sun claims you can't see stars so close to earth or the moon! this video proves all the conspiracy theorists correct :-) The moon landings were fake and so was the Japanese HD view of the moon, which funny enough wasn't HD enough to show any stars!
manwithnobeard, who ... ( 2 weeks ago by LunarTuner)
manwithnobeard, who are these so-called experts. Of course one can see stars! This is shot at NIGHT! Note that the narrator refers to city lights--that would be night. Note that he also says the earth glow is washed out when exposing the image for the stars in the background. Imagine how much more difficult that would have been during daylight. This video proves all the conspiracy theorists???? It only proves that they're not paying attention!
Array ( 2 weeks ago by manwithnobeard)
LunarTuner> so your basically saying during the day you wouldn't be able film stars because of the washout? What about if one was 130,000 K from earth? could you film them then?

manwithnobeard, ... ( 2 weeks ago by LunarTuner)
manwithnobeard, from 130,000 km from earth one cannot film stars if one also wants a proper exposure of the earth (to see clouds, oceans, land, etc.). Basically, you must choose 1 or the other. You might get closer if you wanted an exposure of the dark side of the earth (city lights, moonlight, etc.). That's the deal. Ask your local pro photographer. Don't take my word for it.

"from 130,000 km from earth one cannot film stars if one also wants a proper exposure of the earth" That's more of an unbelievable statement than proclaiming the earth's flat!
manwithnobeard, ... ( 2 weeks ago by LunarTuner)
manwithnobeard, like many other photographers around the world (who also believe like me that the earth is not flat), I have photographed both the earth and stars. On an average partly cloudy day, an earth landscape can be shot at about 1/125th at about f8 - f16 (or so). On a clear night, an average star is about 18 seconds at f 4.5. That's over 2,000 times less bright. I can shoot either, but I can't shoot them both at the same time unless I want to sacrifice one or the other. Ask around.

LOL charming! LunarTuner and i were having a debate, he was explaining why he thought i was wrong and i was trying to put my point a view across, that's what youtube is for isn't it? The only person i annoyed was you, now go and take a sedative and calm down :-) you silly boy

I would be happy to have a debate on this matter with you buzzcut23, even though you seem thick i am sure you could enlighten me as to why i am wrong, LunarTuner tried very well but i am open to hear what you think. I don't know if the abdominable snowman is real or not but i do know there are ape like creatures that resemble humans, there called buzzcuts :-)
I can point out ... ( 2 days ago by quaheedus)
I can point out many factual reasons why you see stars here and not from the surface of the moon.
1. This is taken on the side of the earth in shadow, not in sunlight.
2. Thier intentions were to film Stars and the Aurora so you would set your cameras to do so and film when the earth was in shadow!
3. The same side of the moon always faces the earth, so the surface of the moon the Astronauts were on was always in sunlight with glare from the moon.

Cloud formations on U.S. weather maps available at the NOAA from the time and date of the Apollo 11 video of Earth, match exactly, the cloud formations seen in the images of earth in the video.
