Should I file my taxes Standard or Itemized? Â

Should I file my taxes Standard or Itemized?  

answers 0:Alright, so this would be my 2nd time filing for taxes. I am wondering if I should file my taxes using Standard or Itemized?Last year I had some dental and medical work done and it ended up being $3,882 out of pocket expenses, that's with Dental/Medical insurance. My gross income was $23,177 and I was taxed for $4,954 of it.Would I get more back using Standard or Itemized? I know there may be some more questions that would be helpful, however with what I stated I am wondering which one should I try going for, as I don't want to give out too much information.I'm a young man still trying to understand how taxes work as this is my 2nd time filing. Is it even possible to do both Standard and Itemized or just one?Helpful answers are appreciated!...Show moreanswers 1:General rule: If you don't have mortgage interest, take standard deduc! tion.answers 2:If you itemize, you can deduct about $2000 for your medical expenses. You'll have to get to $12k total for all your itemized deductions in order for itemizing to be better than the standard deduction.With the Personal Exemption now rolled into the Standard Deduction so that you lose both if you itemize, hardly anybody will benefit from itemizing....answers 3:Complete a return BOTH ways, and file the one that shows the lowest tax liability.answers 4:Itemizing is better if you have more than $12,000 in itemized deductions. It doesn't seem like you're anywhere near that, so you should take the standard deduction.answers 5:Forget last year (2017). The tax law changed a lot of things.You do not have enough deductible items. You take the standard deduction of $12,000. You only take the itemized deduction if your total exceeds $12,000 and you're not even close. Medical deductions may only be taken for the amount that exceeds 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. F! or you, that's about $1,740. You subtract that number for med! ical EXPENSES you paid out of pocket, NOT insurance premiums. Insurance is not deductible.So your out of pocket would have to be more than $1,740 to have any medical deduction at all, and then you still have to go over $12,000 to use it.I'm guessing that you are including FICA tax in that $4,954. There is no way your federal and state combined would be anywhere close to that much. FICA is Social Security and Medicare taxes combined. You do not get that back, ever. That is your payment toward a future benefit. That alone accounts for $1,773 of the taxes withheld. There's too much you don't know or understand for you to file this year by yourself, unless you are willing to wait for any refund you might have coming (you might have something coming) and sit down and start READING the 1040 instructions and looking at the associated tax forms and schedules that go with it. It is time consuming but not really that difficult for the relatively simple return yours will be. If ! all you have is W-2 and maybe a couple of 1099s from your bank showing interest they paid you, it's not at all difficult....answers 6:You don't have enough to itemize. The standard is $12000. You cannot do both, only one.answers 7:Yes, standard deduction is for your. But since your financial situation appears to be fairly simple, I suggest you do your taxes both ways. This way, you will become more familiar with each version.answers 8:Your Standard Deduction is $12,000.Your total Itemized Deductions would have to exceed this amount before it helps you.If your income was a lot higher which would cause more state taxes to be withheld and you were paying on a mortgage then, you should like look at itemizing.However, now, just take the Standard Deduction....

Arguments supporting Gay marriage?

Terrell Voltz: It would probably help young people coming to terms with their sexuality. Without marriage, there is the unsettling question, "Who will take care of me when I'm old and/or sick?" Marriage creates kin and assuages some of that worry.I always liked that point.☼...Show more

Mitchel Demry: You can do whatever you want

Lynn Hollars: Gay marriage should be like any other marriage...after all we are people,just like straight people...we love each other and there's no moral reason why gay marriage should not be legalized

Faviola Dewire: 1. Marriage is defined by the US Constitution. It didn't even exist before the constitution. So the government has the right to change the definition of marriage.2. Every culture throughout all of history has accepted gay unions as the exact same thing as heterosexual marriage, and so should we. 3. Marriage is natural. Marriage is found in many species in nature. Science has proven that many species deve! lop ceremonies to establish a legal commitment bonding them together. 4. Marriage is entirely a legal matter. It isn't sacred. It has no relationship to religion and churches have no right deny gay marriage. 5. Human life is sacred. This means we are to treat all humans with respect and honor. Each human life has value and worth, just because he is a human being. If we accept that human life is sacred, then we must also accept that the origin of human is sacred. As we know the origin of human life is the homosexual union. No human life has its origin in the heterosexual union. Therefore, gay marriage must be sacred....Show more

Dorinda Metzer: I don't think it should be legal. I'm old fashioned.

Sunshine Holets: Acting upon the request of the Chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary of the United States House of Representatives, the General Accounting Office identified 1,049 benefits, rights, and privileges only offered through legal marriage. These n! umerous legal protections are only given with the legal status! of marriage, and when a person is prevented from entering the legal status of marriage with the person that they love due to them being the same sex, they are denied equal protection under the law....Show more

Reyes Brunell: Heterosexual marriage should be outlawed.

Lulu Bukowiecki: Love. What else do you need? If you're not involved what argument do you need? Better yet, why are you arguing?

Jesse Pirieda: Why shouldn't gays suffer equally?

Ulrike Hert: Both state governments and the federal government have granted *many, many* legal and financial rights and benefits to married couples. Granting those benefits to heterosexual couples and denying them to homosexual couples is discriminating, and as there is no valid basis on which to justify discriminating between the two types of couples, such discrimination violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The only argument *against* gay marriage seems to be religious in nature, an! d basing the awarding of secular legal and financial benefits by our government on one religious group's beliefs violates the First Amendment. Think about it this way: You have two couples who live side by side. One couple is an 80-year-old man who's been married to his 25-year-old trophy wife for a year or two when he drops dead. The couple next door is a lesbian couple who are both 80 also and have been together for fifty years when one of them drops dead. The man married to the trophy wife leaves her as his widow, but also has four ex-wives, all of whom he was married to for eleven years. Under the current Social Security laws, the trophy widow and all of the ex-wives *all* get to collect the dead man's Social Security benefits if those benefits are higher than what they've earned on their own record, but the surviving partner in the lesbian couple doesn't get a penny of the benefits of her deceased partner of fifty years, even if she was disabled or maybe stayed home to! raise the couple's two adopted children, never earned much herself and! the deceased partner was the breadwinner. How is that fair? How does that promote stability and respect for marriage and monogamy? To make it worse, imagine that both the deceased lesbian partner and the deceased man have estates of four million dollars which they wish to leave to their respective partners. The trophy wife pays *0* in estate tax because of the marital deduction, the lesbian partner, if both had died before the end of 2008, pays approximately $1 million. Gay marriage opponents use the "will of the people" argument, but the majority does not get to do anything they want to in a constitutional republic like ours...the constitution and judges exist to protect the rights of minorities when the majority would infringe those rights. The majority of the population in the south in the 1950's was violently against school segregation, but that didn't mean the Supreme Court should have gone along with the "will of the people" in Brown v. Board of Education - segregati! on was wrong and the Supreme Court was right to declare it so even in the face of massive public opinion to the contrary. Gay marriage opponents also use the "slippery slope" arguments that allowing gay marriage will allow incestous marriages, marriages to animals, etc. This is simply not true, as with these other instances there are independent, valid, non-religious reasons to ban them, reasons which do not apply to adult, consenting human couples who happen to be of the same gender....Show more

Jude Colbenson: Between my parents and I, we probably have more gay friends than straight, and the hot-button topic of marriage o! ften comes up at gatherings, especially since several couples have rece! ntly travelled to make their relationship legal (we live in New York). Invariably, one of the straight friends will say to a gay couple "We're not going to get married until everyone can", which seems to produce mixed reactions. Some thank them whole-heartedly, wishing more straight couples would do the same, while others (with whom I tend to agree more) seem touched by the thought, but ultimately think that this is not enough to affect any sort of change. What do you guys think? Generous and necessary, or sweet but ineffective?Obviously if all straight couples were to do this, it would make more of a dent, but unfortunately, the country is a bit more divided....Show more

Flor Lizardi: There is no good reason it shouldn't be? Why should the basic RIGHTS of appx. 10% of the population get decided on by the majority? Rights are rights and they should not be voted on.Same-sex marriage is the only thing I can think of that doesn't hurt anyone, doesn't cost anything and ye! t is still illegal.

Adan Alipio: I agree it's silly. That's not enough to even be a blip on the radar.

Jose Bouliouris: so I'm an evangelical Christian. for some reason I have a thing for gay, lesbian, transgender...anything you can think of. personally, I am straight, but I sympathize greatly with lgbtq+'s. my parents say it's wrong that I shipped something gay ((when they found out)), so from that point on I kind of keep it a secret that I like these kinds of people. I think that God can still love lgbtq's but I'm not sure if that's right. a friend of mine told me that he was pretty sure that practicing gay was bad/ a sin, but liking it wasn't.I don't know what to do about this?? is there something wrong with me? please ! help!!...Show more

Anton Waln: While I certainly appreciate the s! entiment, I would rather they didn't do this.If you want to get married, do so. A marriage is about the relationship and commitment of two people. What others do or deal with should never come into the picture. This is one of the arguments from anti-marriage proponents. When heterosexuals refuse to marry (which is a sign of support) the anti-marriage proponents only see "see - gay marriage DOES effect conventional marriages!!". It's just giving fuel to their fire.I'd rather see thes sorts of couples spend money to post TV ads, or something of the sort. Making a public declaration of their support. Showing that any Joe Schmoo and Jane Doe are getting married, but they want ALL people to have that right.To me, it would just seem more impactful....Show more

Mikel Bethay: If you are in the United States, then there is one firm, solid argument. The Constitution guarantees equality for ALL PEOPLE. And since homosexuals are people, they deserve equality.

Floyd Labuda: I am against homosexual marriage, but i will say this. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD HAVE NO SAY IN WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR BODY. It's not marriage because God said that marriage is to be between a man and a woman.

Cody Shimko: Of course, I am a Christian and I love them too! They are people just like us and deserve to be accepted and loved. We are all equal and God made all of us! If he "hated homosexuals" then why would he create them in the first place?! God wants us to love and accept them, they deserve to fit in with society. They are blessings to the w! orld.

Irving Jordahl: should abort gay ! marriage

Mandy Mustaro: Jesus would say that you're the only Christian in your family, and that you're more qualified to witness to your parents than vice versa.

Logan Bero: I'm touched that someone would feel that way, but I think that's completely unnecessary. Just because same-sex marriages aren't allowed, doesn't mean someone else should give up their dreams to prove a point. Besides, it wouldn't make much of a difference anyways. D:

Tyrone Disanti: i think its a great idea. if i was straight, i'd do the same.

Mayola Sylva: You, need, to, use, less, commas. lol anyways, I think it's really kool that some people do that. I think all straight couples who claim to support gay rights should do that. I say if you're straight and support gay rights, yet you choose to still get married you're just taunting us. You saying "ha ha we can get married and you can't because you're gay which means you're stinky and gross" and it's just pathetic.

Tobie Oshea: Gay marriage goes against creation. It shouldn't be legal in any state or the whole country. This nation is under God. We can't go against how God setup the world and destroy His creation. Male and females balance each others thoughts and emotions gays cannot do this. Male and females balance each other. Homosexuality is scientifically proven wrong by reading or looking at an anatomy book. No one is gay it is a choice.

Esteban Faggett: I'm pro gay marriage and I need some help on facts and pros to it as well. Suggestions? Thanks!

Particia Thorton: The practice of homosexuality is destructive to the human soul and God gave His warnings about this in the Bible. Supporting gay marriage is a sin because it means to support homosexuality. Iniquities (sinful tendencies) pass down the generation line if they ar! e not removed by the Blood of the Lord Jesus. Homosexuality is caused b! y iniquity and the Blood of Jesus cleanses the iniquities of all who accept Him as their Saviour.After a person accepts the Lord Jesus as their Saviour, they are transformed and made a new creature in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). So the gay person would be changed and so would the alcoholic, liar, drug addict, fornicator etc. It's the power of the Blood of Christ and the Holy Spirit in the believer that brings about this transformation.REDEMPTION BY GRACE THROUGH FAITHBecause mankind is incapable of meeting God’s standard of perfection necessary to abide in God’s presence (Romans 3:19-20,23), God sent His Son Jesus Christ to pay the total debt for the believer’s sins and mercifully credits to his account Christ’s righteousness (Romans 3:21-28,5:1-11; 2 Corinthians 5:18-21). Jesus’ gracious act of atonement was complete and covers all sin (Colossians 2:13-14; 1 John 1:9). Salvation is not based on good deeds but according to the mercy of God (Titus 3:4-5). Believer! s are justified by faith; it is a gift by God’s grace (Romans 4:3-8; Ephesians 2:8-9). A true, living faith will result in a desire to live a holy, loving life of good works (Ephesians 2:10; Galatians 5:6; James 2:14-26), but failure to be absolutely successful at righteous living does not negate the believer’s justified status.If you sincerely say this prayer, your sins will be washed away, you will be redeemed to God, be saved from eternal torment and inherit the Kingdom of God:"Dear Jesus, I am a sinner. I repent of my sins. Please forgive me and save me by your shed blood; come into my heart. I want to receive you as my own personal Lord and Savior. Amen"...Show more

Anton Waln: Because marriage is supposed to be about 2 ppl in love, it's not supposed to be based on gender but on love. If 2 straight ppl can be in love and get married then they can and there is no reason why 2 men who are in love shouldn't be allowed to be married also. This is America, Land of the Free!

Sol Bayn: Top Ten Reasons to Make Gay Marriage Illegal01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all like many of the principles on which this great country was founded; women are still property, blacks still can’t marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage we! re allowed; the sanctity of marriages like Britney Spears’ 55-hour ju! st-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.06) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn’t be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren’t full yet, and the world needs more children.07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.08) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That’s why we have only one religion in America.09) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven’t adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.Note: This is strictly sarcasm, not intended to be serious....Show more

Oda Mauson: That is incredibly sweet and supportive. I would be wonderfully touched if anyone ever said that in my presence, and I got a little warm fuzzy reading this. But sadly those who go against gay marriage will not care if several heterosexual couples do not marry. Still, it's wonderful.

Joie Kemmis: Nothing is wrong with you. In the eyes of God, we're all equal. It's the interpretation of different religions - and even the same one - which has us trying to separate and judge one another.

Hilde Heskett: Marriage is about Love.

Pam Rampadarat: I'm happy for them.If two people love each other, they should be able to take the marriage vows an! d take that final step in their relationship.

Babette Deloe: marr! iage is about love and not gender....before i justify why i am for gay marriage, why dont you justify why you are against it??but before you do, let me clear some things up....people say that marriage is for a man and woman......then why in biblical times was marriage mostly for the joining of two families rather than the two people??...yes that is true...but the main reason why people are against gay marriage is mostly because of the nonsensical ideas about marriage and same sex couples.......people say that marriage is for starting a family and possibly raising children......the reality is, the reason why people marry is because they are in love or at least think they are in love.........another common reason why same sex marriage is not approved of also has something to do with the many myths about homosexuality......many will say that same sex couples are incapable of forming loving and commited relationships........they are not only capable....but show it also.........! ...and anyways, if being gay was all about sex, then why would someone waste time getting married??......why wouldn't they just have sex and abandon the person they were with??...why go throught the trouble of getting married??...thats what i would like to know.....furthermore, homophobes cannot base their discrimination on homosexuals simply because they believe its a choice either.....even if being gay is a choice, why would you still have something against them??i mean...obesity is also wrong because the bible speaks out against over eating........most people choose to be obese by eating so much.....but most people are mature enough to not make fun of them......so even if being gay was a choice, then how does that justify hatred still??these are some of many things i will never understand when it comes to the hatred people have for homosexuals........and then to point out places in the bible where hatred for homosexuals is approved??....that's f***ing bull****.......thom! as jefferson once stated that it is the governments job to ensure all r! ights of all people are secured.....and if the government refuses to do so, then the people may form their own government........why are rights being taken away from homosexuals and the bible is being used as an excuse??......you know the bible was not written how we read it today.....you know that a book written in a dialect that no longer exists MUST contain errors.....even if God did inspire the writing of it....God did not write it himself, humans did, and humans are fallable.........also, God did not translate it into the languages of today, humans did, and humans are fallable.........we cannot continue to believe God's word is only limited to the bible, we must believe that God is within us all......God is not only in a church....God is not only in those who spend their life morbidly by being conservative christians.......God is within all of us..........and its about time people start accepting that........its about time people start believing that even if God made "!

Comment enregistrer une ONG

Comment enregistrer une ONG

Attendez 2 à 3 semaines que votre demande soit approuvée. Une fois que vous aurez déposé la demande et inclus les documents nécessaires, vous devrez peut-être attendre plusieurs semaines avant d’avoir des nouvelles de votre statut d’ONG. Vous devriez être avisé par l’organisme gouvernemental compétent si votre demande a été approuvée et si votre organisation a obtenu le statut d’ONG.

Recherchez en ligne l’organisme d’enregistrement de l’ONG par l’intermédiaire du gouvernement de l’État ou du gouvernement fédéral. Le gouvernement de votre pays disposera d’un département ou d’une organisation gouvernementale qui s’occupera de l’enregistrement des ONG. Le département peut s’appeler le Département du développement social, le Ministère de la justice sociale et de l’autonomisation, ou le Bureau de la démocratie, des droits de l! ’homme et du travail. Effectuez une recherche pour trouver l’organisme gouvernemental approprié dans votre pays qui se concentre sur l’enregistrement des ONG.

Préparer un rapport sur les finances et le financement de l’organisme. Vous devrez montrer au gouvernement que votre organisme respecte les exigences de financement du statut d’organisme sans but lucratif, car il ne peut réaliser des profits ou percevoir des revenus qui ne sont pas réinvestis dans l’organisme. Inclure les rapports financiers annuels et une ventilation de l’endroit où vous obtenez actuellement votre financement en tant qu’organisme. Des documents financiers détaillés peuvent aider à renforcer votre demande.

Obtenez 2 ou 3 lettres de recommandation écrites de la part des dirigeants locaux. Dans le cadre de votre demande, vous devrez fournir des lettres de recommandation qui témoignent de l’intégrité et de l’impact positif de votre organisation. Essayez d’obt! enir 1 lettre d’un membre du gouvernement local, tel qu’un! conseiller municipal, et 1 à 2 autres lettres d’autres membres du gouvernement local ou de membres de la communauté qui peuvent parler du travail de votre organisation.

Postulez en ligne, si possible, pour une option plus rapide. Certains pays proposent une demande que vous pouvez remplir en ligne et fournir des copies électroniques de tous les documents nécessaires. Renseignez-vous auprès de l’organisme gouvernemental de l’État ou du gouvernement fédéral concerné pour savoir si vous pouvez présenter votre demande en ligne rapidement et efficacement.

Payer les frais d’inscription, s’il y a lieu. La plupart des pays exigent que vous payiez des frais pour vous enregistrer en tant qu’ONG. Les frais peuvent varier de 100 $ à 500 $US, selon le pays. Il peut également y avoir des frais supplémentaires pour l’accès au formulaire d’inscription et le dépôt des documents nécessaires pour le formulaire.

Respecter les règles et règl! ements associés au statut d’ONG. Votre pays peut vous demander de confirmer votre statut d’ONG chaque année en fournissant des documents et des informations qui montrent que vous êtes une organisation à but non lucratif. Vous devrez peut-être aussi adhérer à certaines lois du travail et lois organisationnelles pour conserver votre statut d’ONG. L’organisme gouvernemental compétent doit vous informer des règles et règlements rattachés à votre statut d’ONG afin que vous puissiez les respecter.

Faire une demande d’exonération fiscale en tant qu’ONG. Dans de nombreux pays, les ONG sont exemptées du paiement des impôts étatiques et fédéraux. Ce statut juridique facilite le fonctionnement des ONG, puisqu’elles ne sont pas tenues de payer d’impôt sur le financement qu’elles reçoivent d’organismes gouvernementaux, de donateurs et d’autres sources. Une fois que vous êtes enregistrée en tant qu’ONG, vous pouvez faire une demande d! ’exonération fiscale auprès de l’agence fiscale de votre pays.

Rendez-vous en personne pour présenter une demande si une demande en ligne n’est pas disponible. Si vous ne pouvez pas accéder au formulaire de demande en ligne, rendez-vous en personne au bureau ou à la succursale de l’organisme gouvernemental concerné. Apportez avec vous tous les documents nécessaires à la demande. Le représentant devrait être en mesure de vous guider en personne tout au long du processus de demande et de vous fournir tous les formulaires nécessaires que vous devrez remplir.

Écrivez l’énoncé de mission, les programmes et les projets de l’organisme. Dans le cadre de votre demande de statut d’ONG, vous devrez fournir des détails sur le but et les objectifs de votre organisation ou groupe. Votre énoncé de mission devrait indiquer comment vous prévoyez soutenir des personnes ou une cause par des actions, de la formation et des investissements sans but lucratif. Vous devriez également décrire en détail les différents typ! es de programmes et de projets actuellement mis en Å"uvre par votre organisme, ainsi que les programmes ou projets futurs que vous souhaitez mettre en Å"uvre.

Déterminez le type d’ONG que sera votre organisation. Il existe plusieurs types différents d’organisations à but non lucratif reconnues par la loi dans les principaux pays : organisations caritatives ou religieuses, organisations de protection sociale, organisations syndicales et agricoles, ligues professionnelles et organisations d’anciens combattants. Déterminez le type d’organisme auquel appartient votre organisme afin de pouvoir le préciser dans votre demande.

Inclure l’approbation du statut d’ONG par le conseil d’administration de l’organisation. Vous devez avoir la preuve que le conseil d’administration ou l’assemblée générale de votre organisation approuve l’enregistrement en tant qu’ONG. Inclure une copie du procès-verbal de la réunion qui démontre l’approbation! de la décision ou des documents signés qui contiennent une approbati! on. Cela montrera que les dirigeants de votre organisation ont tous le statut d’ONG.

S’appuyer sur les autres avantages du statut d’ONG. En tant qu’ONG, vous pouvez également bénéficier d’autres avantages comme le financement et le soutien des ministères, les possibilités de formation par l’entremise du gouvernement et le soutien financier pour l’équipement et les articles dont vous pourriez avoir besoin en tant qu’ONG. Gardez à l’esprit que les avantages associés à votre statut d’ONG dépendront du pays dans lequel vous opérez ainsi que des règles et réglementations de votre pays.

Créer un nom et un logo pour l’ONG. Une option consiste à utiliser le nom et le logo existants de votre organisation ou de votre entreprise dans votre demande, surtout si vous pensez qu’ils conviennent bien. Souvent, un nom plus court qui résume la mission de votre organisation et un logo clair et simple sont des options efficaces.

Does everyone struggle with family?

Chris Coggins: It's how you deal with them that matters. Personally I hate other peoples drama and I don't get involved, don't listen and may avoid them altogether. The important thing is your life with your wife, not your or her family or anyone else's drama. Ignore it. You'll be much happier for it.

Felipa Nosis: I think every family has some issues. They aren't always the same issues, but every family has some.

Caterina Yeargan: As an elder couple, we don't really have family struggles. Our children are adults and free to make decisions on their own, but welcome to ask for advice. My only struggle is a health issue, but that isn't anything to burden anyone.

Erica Bottaro: You need to be more specific. But YES, everyone has family issues in one form or another.

Rena Pepe: every family has their issues.The best way to avoid it, is to live separate from your families.What happen between you and your wife doesn't concern your families.You should ! put it clear to them otherwise they will always interfere, creating trouble.Good luck

Bryan Avinger: I have the best family and in laws ever so not everyone has these problems

What kind of environment do you want to leave for future generations?

Boyce Gilhooly: Your question: "What kind of environment do you want to leave for future generations? What kind of environment do you want to leave for future generations? (both natural environment and social/community environment?"I do not have any choice in that. There are seven billion persons including yourself, most of whom are not reading this. Of those who are probably none of them care much about the issues that I address, not enough to do anything. Keeping that in mind, you can help to bring this issue to the attention of your fellow human beings, particularly since the problem is increasing worldwide, not just in California:_____________________________________________________________Hello, [elected official] â€" There is no reason to believe that nuclear reactors sited on the coastline of California and other coastal sites are not vulnerable to tsunamis any more than the Fukushima reactor in Japan.I am aware that among persons who lack significant education! in Earth science* that explains such events are unlikely to consider the possibility unless it actually happens at a site near where they personally reside. The problem is that such events are far from impossible here in California and other coastal sites. Such events are just as likely to occur as not at any given time. Seismic events including those leading to massive tsunamis are inevitable.I think we both know that the nuclear regulatory situation in the United States is as much influenced by the interests of the nuclear power industry as it is in Japan. That worked very badly for Japan and continues to be a problem:"Japan’s nuclear regulators and the plant’s operator, Tokyo Electric Power, or Tepco, have said that the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and 45-foot tsunami on March 11 [2011] that knocked out cooling systems at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant were far larger than anything that scientists had predicted. . . . But some insiders from Japan’s tig! htly knit nuclear industry have stepped forward to say that Te! pco and regulators had for years ignored warnings of the possibility of a larger-than-expected tsunami in northeastern Japan..."(Nuclear Disaster in Japan Was Avoidable, Critics Contend | Martin Facler | The New York Times | March 9, 2012 | Accessed May 28, 2014 at http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/10/world/asia/criti...The most recent report I have seen from NHK (Japan’s public television service) stated that the reactor is still leaking radiation. Again, there is no reason to believe that cannot also occur at, for example, the Diablo Canyon site in California or other coastal installations. The geography is clear. Just because it has not happened to date does not mean that it is highly improbable or impossible.“Water sampled from a well at the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant has been found to contain levels of radioactive tritium that exceeds the limit for dumping it into the Pacific, operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. said. … The discovery was the first repor! t of over the limit tritium in groundwater at the wells since Tepco began discharging water into the ocean last week." (Tritium levels at Fukushima No. 1 top Pacific Ocean dumping limit, TEPCO admits | Accessed June 5, 2014 at http://fukushimaupdate.com/)I believe it is irresponsible to not take measures to mitigate the danger inherent in coast-based reactors. The problem of nuclear plants being breached by a tsunami can only be mitigated to removing power stations that are on the coast and near sea level. Our Nuclear Regulatory Commission is not going to address the issue in a reasonable manner if doing so would represent an inconvenience for the nuclear power industry. Please take this into consideration and help alleviate the problem at hand. [your constituent]Original May 28, 2014, updated June 5, 2014*See: Christopherson, Robert. Geosystems: An Introduction to Physical Geography (Prentice Hall) Tsunamis are unpredictable but inevitable: "The earthquake was caused ! when the Indian Plate was subducted by the Burma Plate and triggered a ! series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean, killing over 230,000 people in fourteen countries, and inundating coastal ommunities with waves up to 30 meters (100 ft) high." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Indian_Ocean_ear..._____________________________________________________________For where you live or for the United States in general if you live here, you can modify it.But even if you do not live near a coastal based reactor, you should at least know that when stored radioactive waste or fuel is leaked, especially into groundwater, it is a problem for all of us. The contamination will last far longer than any of us will be alive.The more coastal reactors, the more likely another catastrophe.So the only effect I can have depends on cooperation from you and seven billion others.It is frivolous to ask about what sort of social environment I want to leave behind. Only what I attempt to change for the better now makes an! y difference. And I have little to no influence on you or anyone else, which you can determine for yourself depending on how you respond to my appeal above.Human behavior being what it is, there is no way for me to determine any of that on my own or to ensure that whatever good comes from it remains a permanent part of human culture.We are on our own.It would be good if people kept that in mind when considering how to deal with our predicament.• Nuclear proliferation: http://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/Nuclearweapo...• Overexploitation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overexploitation• Deforestation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deforestation• Climate Change / Global Warming: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_global_war...• Environmental pollution: http://www.who.int/topics/environmental_pollution/...• Aquifer Depletion: http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2011/04/22/10153...

There is equality between sexes, but that women, don't lose what makes them women. Equal pay for equal work.Education is available to all, not just the rick or high middle class.There are communities that don't have the "bad" part of town.Health Care will be for all people.Continue our democracy. Politicians would "really" represent the people.The freedom of faith continues.Freedom of expression without nastiness. Communities flourish no matter what the income level.The past is not forgotten. Some old-time things kept alive. Like making soap, eating vegetables from a self grown garden. Old music would be heard. And that the greats like Mozart and classical greats not be forgotten.Guns will not be available to anyone, because there are no more wars, no more mass shootings and so on.The elderly will be honored and taken care of.Reality sucks because the world most likely not be all that good.People get back to the basics an! d don't let social media take over face to face conversations....Show ! more

How should people who live at or below the poverty level be more green?

Javier Holsonback: My Question should be what I put it to be.You did not answer the question. This isn't about me. How do poor people do it?? how can they afford to do ANY of those things.????

Rosann Mccomb: We make dams for hydroelectricity generation. It has an adverse effect on environment as flowing water is blocked which has many consequences. It has adverse effect on the natural flow of the river.Lot of people get displaced. Many species living in the river have their moving affected. Dams may create havoc if they get destroyed in a war or any natural calamity.In all hydroelectricity is not the perfect solution. We should look for more eco friendly methods like solar energy....Show more

Wilburn Denice: When more people buy the products the price will go down, you can make your own cleaners real inexpensively , look on web for how. putting plastic on windows in winter or even in summer or even using clear duct tape on window which costs less helps energy ! leaks. Buying packaged foods costs more so try to avoid that. Un-packaged veggies cost a lot less. take advantage of getting money from recycling aluminum. People have even sent their children to college on it. Urban foraging - look it up! there are a lot of people with fruit trees and gardens in neighborhoods that are willing to give people some of what is grown and also starting a garden of your own is really cheap way less costly than buying food. I do this every year. Lastly look up the word "freeganism." You don't have to buy anything to go green actually going green means buying less. Have them look into freecycle.org , you can get a lot of free offerings there. You can even give things you don't want....Show more

Branden Round: Clean with vinegar, baking soda, club soda, etc.Buy second hand whenever possible.Eat less meat. Beans and legumes are cheaper and healthier and better for the environment.Cloth diaper. The initial cost is sometimes more expensive, b! ut it's much, much cheaper than disposables in the long run. ! And it's MUCH better for the environment, assuming you don't live in a drought prone area.Breastfeed. Cheaper than formula, better for baby and better for environment because it isn't processed and shipped all over the country. Drive a small car. Luckily, smaller cars tend to be cheaper and have better gas mileage. Not ALWAYS, though.Set your thermostat to reasonable temperatures. There's no reason your house needs to be 75 degrees in the winter and 60 in the summer. Try to keep it 65 in the winter and 70 in the summer.Reuse foil and plastic bags as long as they haven't had meat in them.I really don't think all things green cost more. Organic food, yes. But if you get your food from a farmer's market, the cost isn't much more than conventional food. Many farmers markets even take food stamps and WIC. Recycle. You even get money for cans in most places.Buy less prepackages food. This tends to be cheaper AND produces much less trash.The only "green" things I reall! y spend more money on are toiletries and pet food. I also want to point out to one of the people who answered...I'm living near the poverty line and I care VERY much. My partner and I are both college educated, highly intelligent people. He works a good job with good benefits but doesn't make much money. I stay home because our family values having a parent stay home with our children. What an insensitive, stupid thing to say....Show more

Robbie Starchman: Your question should be more along the line of how could you live more green! First, you could build your own solar cooker or oven, for under $150, and even less than $100 if you look around for things you could use. That alone will save you some money every month and pay for itself in a matter of years. If you want instant savings, we're not at that point yet to make it pay for itself in a day, week, month or even a year yet. But, over the long term, it does pay for itself and it always has! The same thing wit! h wind.Even without solar or wind, you could use CFL bulbs to reduce yo! ur electric bill every month and they'll pay for themselves in five years or less. You could also build your own solar hot water heater or buy one or have one installed. Plus, for much of what I've already mentioned there are tax credits available. There are people that derive all their power from solar and wind, and they don't pay for electricity at all any longer. Yes, it all costs more initially, but it pays for itself over time. It always has. I've used it, so I know! Matter of fact, sometime after the first of the year, I'm going to build a new solar cooker or solar oven or two. If I can do it for less than $75, I might turn around and sell them!Beyond the solar and wind, and the CFL bulbs, there's LED bulbs, which will also pay for themselves, more energy efficient appliances (which you can also get a tax credit for) and other items as well. Your excuse or answer is typical. If more people realized how much they could save, they would have already done this. But, just! like you, they don't know! If you're spending $150 to $300 a month, you can have a system and upgrades and other improvements that will pay for itself over the duration of time, usually less than 15 years and sometimes in less than 10. After that, it's all money in your pocket just like it is for many today that have already converted.Just by simply making changes with you home computer, turning off lights that you're not using, keeping your hot water heater down to a certain temperature, sealing cracks around the windows, using tinting on the windows, installing a skylight for additional non-electric natural light, etc., you'll save a bundle every month and that adds up every year.Not only that, but you can make improvements to your vehicle to get more fuel efficiency and that too pays for itself over time, and will more so in the future when gas gets back up to $3 and $4 a gallon again. Just wait until gas hits $5 a gallon. It will do so within three to five years. Depen! ding on how long you'll keep your vehicle, it's worth it!While you're a! t it, would you mind going to this question and giving me your input? I appreciate it!http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ap9OQ...I'm looking for further answers and trying to make you more knowledgeable in the process!...Show more

Bruno Galasso: The poorer masses live much greener then the middle to upper classes.The less money people have the more they recycle and just make due with what they have at hand. It is a fact that the middle and upper class generate 87% of the waste in this country. A large amount of this is in the form of home remodeling,i see this almost daily and there seems to be no way to stop it. They by a house(in good shape) and as soon as they sign the papers they start ripping and tearing making the house exactly like they want it,then two years later they sell t! hat house and the new owners start in on it while the last owners go on to their next house and do the same thing again.This is a tremendous amount of waste.Some people have money to burn,others just make due with what they have....Show more

Alexandria Popik: No Answer?? FIGURES

Ninfa Aronica: Living green is MUCH cheaper than not. What many people confuse is the difference between trying to BUY yourself green and really living green.The first thing to understand is the idea of conservation of resources. The least you use of anything is the greenest option by a million miles. Everything that has been produced has environmental costs. If you don't buy the new 'green' reusable shopping bags and instead use an old sports bag you have in your cupboard, even if it is made from nylon, it is FAR greener than buying a new bag.If you insulate your home, prevent draughts, put in lots of thermal mass (like stone slabs around the fire) which absorb heat when the room is hea! ted and release it at night preventing pipes from freezing even when al! l the heating is turned off. That is much, much, much greener than buying green technologies, such as wind turbines or solar panels. If you must buy anything, buy door closers and insulation.Buying a Green tshirt that says 'Save our trees' is not green unless you only have one other tshirt and you will wear it to death. It is much greener to buy a secondhand tshirt and wear it to its death, regardless of what it is made of.Same with food, the cheapest foods are those that are least environmentally damaging. People get confused by the choices. Instead of buying a bag of lettuce and a ready-meal lasagna, buy fresh unprocessed ingredients and make your own. Be creative, if you want to buy organic then buy the cheaper items which only have a few extra pennies on the price ie) organic tinned pulses, soups, baked beans.Growing your own is the best possible thing you can do. Not just for the environment but for your health too.Don't BUY green, live green. There is nothing cheaper! . ...Show more

Giovanni Malool: At first I was going to say NO because they can't afford it, the government it self and rich people should be more green and should be setting an example for everyone BUT... The people living near the poverty level have enough money to but Iphones, PS3's, 22"s, drugs, babies etc... How do they afford it? They use taxpayers money from welfare, child tax credit, child support, don't pay car insurance.... The US is in a recession but look at all the people still driving big SUV's with no passengers. Drive down a street where poor people live, where there's apartments and look at what they drive. Look at how many people stand in line for the latest Iphone or game console. I don't think these people are educated enough to care about being green, otherwise they would have better jobs and wouldn't be livi! ng near poverty.As you said, profitability is keeping most of the peopl! e from going green.I myself don't do anything special to be green. For example, I don't recycle, I get tons of trash mail that gets dumped in the trash. If the government wants me to recycle paper, then stop sending it to me. If they do, make them responsible for picking up and recycling their unwanted unused ads. Why should I work for free and the people sending the trash are making the $$...Show more

Joellen Zorrilla: Conservation is one of the greenest things a person can do and that has no cost. I was raised with a very tight family budget, so we had what we needed and little more. As my income increased so did my waste. I am finding that the lessons I learned early in life are the best way to help the planet.I eat less meat, I plan a menu, shop with a list and eat out less often. When we do go to a restaurant we split an entree. I couple times a year I eat from the pantry and the freezer, which means I look to see what I have to plan my menu and use things ! up before they go bad. I grow some of my own food and shop at farmers markets, the prices are usually lower than grocery stores. I eat more fresh food and less processed packaged food. I shop the bulk aisle, but make sure it I can use it in a reasonable amount of time. Seveal of the meals I make I make double and freeze 1/2 so I have quick meals for busy days. I make soups and put them in single serving size containers and freeze them. I can my own jellies, and freeze many veggies which I grow or buy in season. I use natural cleaners, like vinegar and baking soda instead of all the expensive toxic chemicals sold in markets. I think the only thing I have that is disposable or single use is toilet paper and Qtips. I invest in reusable things, cloth napkins, kitchen towels, etc.I conserve energy, I unplug things when not in use, line dry clothes, most of my lights have CFL's, turn lights off when I leave a room, when I have to replace an appliance I buy the most energy efficie! nt one I can afford. I put a sweater on in the winter and keep my therm! ostat low.Being green isn't about buying the latest things, it is about reducing our impact on the world. Buying less, using less energy, and wasting less are all green principals and they save money, not cost money. It is a mind set, I have a comfortable income, but I have cut my spending in all areas of my life and both my family and the earth are better for it....Show more

Branden Round: I can relate to your question because I care about the environment but live well below the poverty line. My income is limited because I am disabled and unemployed. So I do what I can, as cheaply as I can. This is what I do.Firstly, eat less meat. Animals raised as food take up a lot of the world's resources-land, water and grain for their food. Our love of meat is also the cause of a lot of land clearing to give more pasturage to cattle. The clearing destroys the habitat of many rare pa! nt and animal species. So try substituting meat with lentils or beans-! which are actually much cheaper.Next, I would suggest watching your water and energy consumption. Don't let the tap run when you are brushing your teeth. Only wash whole loads of laundry. Prefer short showers over baths. Turn out the lights when you leave the room. Seems obvious, but these really do work and in time, they become second nature.Next, avoid using products that are harmfull to the environment. Use reusable bags when you shop, not plastic bags. Find an affordable laundry detergent without phosphates. Don't use dryer sheets-they are plastic products loaded with chemicals. A cup of vinegar in your wash during the rinse cycle is good for softening and removing static. Try putting things on a rack to dry, and if you use a dryerjust use it for as long as it takes to get the clothespartially dry and unrumpled, then hang them up to dry the rest of the way.If you are poor, you probably already avoid buying unnecesary stuff-you use what you have wisely and you ! probably reuse and recycle by hitting the thrift shops to look for good quality, lightly used items. It is suprising what you can find. We live in such a wastefull society. Ther are a lot of sites that can give you recipes for easily made, nontoxic cleaning products. I go to the library to find books that contain green ideas. If you are poor , you are probably ahead of the game. Many of the most practical everyday practices for a green life are just things that people without money to waste call "thrift."...Show more

Antone Youla:

Particia Thorton: The short answer is raise the price. If the price gets high enough, people will stop wasting it and even find ways! to conserve.The problem is what to do with folks who have a need for e! nergy and other resources, but can't afford the new, higher prices. To address that, we could set it up so that the users get up to a certain amount at market prices, beyond which there is a tax.

Cómo preparar la grava del tanque de los pescados

Cómo preparar la grava del tanque de los pescados

La grava es un tipo popular de sustrato que puede ser añadido al fondo de su pecera. Si usted planea en agregar la grava a su tanque, es importante lavar la grava para quitar el polvo y otras imperfecciones que podrían nublar su agua del tanque de los pescados o hacer sus pescados enfermos. Para lavar su grava, enjuáguela varias veces con agua fría y añada un agente desclorante antes de incorporarla al ambiente de su tanque. Nunca use jabón u otros productos de limpieza porque los productos químicos podrían ser perjudiciales para los peces.

Vierta el agua y repita el proceso de enjuague 3 veces. Volcar el cubo y vaciar el agua mientras se mantiene la grava en el cubo. Luego, rellene el cubo, déjelo reposar y vuelva a verter el agua. Esto asegurará que todas las partículas sueltas salgan de la grava.

Vierta la grava en el agua y déjela en rem! ojo durante 20 minutos. Introduzca la grava en el agua lentamente para que no salpique. Durante este tiempo, el producto químico desclorante eliminará el cloro nocivo de la grava.

Enjuague 1 libra (450 g) de la grava en un colador. Pase la grava por un colador. Use el grifo o una manguera para enjuagarlo. Continúe enjuagando la grava en el colador hasta que el agua salga clara. Luego, tome la grava colada y colóquela en un cubo seco diferente.

Limpie la grava con un kit de sifón dos veces al mes. Un kit de sifón, o limpiador de grava, parece un tubo transparente con una manguera conectada a él. Coloque el tubo transparente en el agua y ponga la manguera en un cubo. Agite el tubo de plástico hacia arriba y hacia abajo para comenzar a desviar el agua y sumerja el extremo del tubo transparente en la grava misma. La grava debe permanecer pegada en el tubo hasta que usted ponga su mano en el extremo de la manguera, lo cual la liberará. Esto desviará la suci! edad y los desechos de los peces a través del tubo mientras m! antiene la grava en el fondo del tanque.

Coloque rocas y plantas sobre la grava para darle un hábitat a sus peces. Anclar las plantas en la grava para que no floten a la superficie. Usted puede colocar las rocas en el fondo del tanque de la manera que usted piensa que se ve mejor. Agregue otras cosas como figuras de madera o de peces para darle más personalidad a su tanque.

Deje la grava en remojo durante 5 minutos. Remojar la grava hará que el polvo y la suciedad suban a la parte superior del agua y hará que el agua sea turbia y gris. A medida que continúe el proceso de enjuague, el agua debería empezar a ser más clara.

Llenar un cubo con agua y añadir el producto químico desclorante. Llene el cubo con 2-3 US gal (7,600-11,400 ml) de agua y luego vierta el producto químico declorado en el agua. Remueva el agua en el cubo para mezclarla.

Llene el cubo con agua fría y enjuague la grava. El agua debe subir por encima de la grava alrededor de! 1 pulgada (2,5 cm). Agite el cubo de un lado a otro para agitar el agua y enjuagar la grava.

Lea las instrucciones de su producto químico desclorante. Compre agua desclorada en línea o en una tienda de mascotas. Lea detenidamente las instrucciones para saber qué cantidad de producto químico necesita añadir al agua.

Llene un cubo de 19.000 ml (5 US gal) con la grava. Abra la bolsa de grava y viértala en un cubo. Sólo enjuague 5 libras (2.3 kg) de grava a la vez. Si necesita limpiar más de 5 libras (2.3 kg) de grava a la vez, limpie la grava en lotes separados.

Escurrir la grava a través de un colador. Saque la grava del cubo y colóquela en un colador para filtrar el agua desclorada. Una vez colada, vierta la grava en otro cubo seco.

Agregue una capa de grava de 1,3 cm de grosor en el fondo de su pecera. Ponga suavemente la grava en el fondo del tanque para que no raye ni dañe el tanque de peces. Alise la grava con las manos para que quede ! una capa uniforme.

Compre grava para acuarios en línea o en una ! tienda de mascotas. La grava del tanque de los pescados viene en diversos colores, formas, y tamaños. Compre grava que sea lo suficientemente grande y gruesa para permitir el flujo de agua, pero lo suficientemente fina para promover el crecimiento de bacterias útiles.

Why does Global Warming cause cold weather?

Tyree Allenbrand:

Dawn Saha: Climate and weather are two entirely different things. Some parts of the earth are getting warmer while other parts are getting colder. That's why the Sierra Nevadas, Rockies, Alps and Mt. Kilimanjaro are losing their snow caps. The southwest of the US that used to be covered with vegetation is now turning to desert. Meanwhile, the south, midwest and northeast are colder than usual. Global warming is causing changes in the ocean currents causing North American and Europe to become colder. Meanwhile the sea levels are rising due to the melting of the polar ice caps. We are seeing more and more extremes, including more severe and frequent storms....Show more

Rachell Meese: If Al Gore didn't make a couple hundred million on global warming publicity, if he donated just half to charity I would maybe listen to what he had to say. If there is global warming then the coolingmight be the earth just balancing things out. Its not the CO2 that we have to worry about its all the other toxic chemicals we are putting into the environment. Its sort of hard to believe there's global warming when its been snowing for the past 3 days. Yes it is ironic and will be expensive. I would definitely research the other side of the debate. Some people! believe its all about Power Moneyetc... The earth has been go! ing through natural warming and cooling cycles for millions of years in fact it might attract a lot of tourism if it got a little warmer around here and real estate prices will go up solving the real estate crisis. The other side of the debate also says that one Volcano emits more CO2 then man will ever produce. Algae in the ocean uses a lot of CO2 which fish eat reproduce and feed us. Also trees and jungles consume a lot of CO2 People produce a lot of CO2We need the truth. Its kind of confusing but I can't see so far that there is much global warming. Maybe I'm wrong who knows?...Show more

Doreatha Kjellsen: If you believe in global warming, you can just withdraw your life savings and put it in Al Gore's pocket! Because he's only in it for the money after the failed political career. Biggest con artist ever!

Karl Samiec: Snow is a form of ice and ice crystals reflect and refract light, which some people call glitter or twinkle.

Giovanna Sherlin: The simple answer is reflection and refraction. It is the same properties that make diamonds glitter.Snow do! esn't glitter in absolute dark. And the frozen surface of the water acts like a crystal. When light hits it, 2 things can happen, reflection is when light is returned the way it came in. Refraction is when light is bent within the crystal (think of the rainbow and a prism). There are many surfaces to a snow flake and that light bounces around a lot both on the inside and outside....Show more

Cecil Derenzi: Freezing or undercooled rain is most frequent with the passing of a cold front; not a warm one. The reason is: In a cold front that is much, much steeper than a warm front, the mild and moist air from the warm sector is very quickly lifted by the cold and denser air moving in from under. As the moisture in that air condenses in unstable air masses, it comes down through the colder air from the cold sector of the front and can often be undercooled. This is of a danger to light aviation as the undercooled water then freezes at once on the leading edge of the wings! or propeller.But if you are talking about rain that freezes on the gro! und, then you are right, it happens mostly as a warm front moves in, often after a long period with a stationary high pressure, during the winter when the thermometer is under freezing point. The ground then freezes to some depth and when this is replaced by a low pressure with a warm front coming in from a temperature maritime source, then yes, the rain may freeze on the ground. ... But then, the rain is not freezing; it is only when it is on the ground that it does....Show more

Maurice Breuning: Snow Glitter

Star Gollnick: it blocks the atmosphere allowing less sunlight to beam onto the planet thus cooling down the planet in some areas. in the poles it destroys the atmosphere allowing in more sun thus melting the snow. worry more about melting snow then cooling down because snow plays a large part in cooling down earth. white deflects light and heat so when all the ice is gone its never coming back..

Chet Nozick: For it to snow, there has to be liquid water in the atmosphere that freezes.If it's too cold, there's no liquid water.

Maurice Breuning: Because it is made up of ice crystals. the light striking the different surfaces of the crystal is refracted and reflected (a bit like a diamond though cheaper!) as you move you see light coming off from different angles and that's glitter.

Virgilio Echter: The average global temperature changes by a fraction of a degree, which doesn't cause or prevent snow on any given day in any given place.

Marco Stolarz: because its opposite day

Tawny Grosskreutz: 2

Rocio Karvis: Snow glitters cause of the ice crystals being reflected in the rays of the sun.

Chastity Doderer: Warm air is less dense than cold air. (That is the reason why a hot air balloon will rise up when you heat the air inside. The heated air inside the balloon will become warmer and le! ss dense than the surrounding air and it will rise and lift the balloon! upwards.) With a warm front, warm moist air is moving into an area that has colder air. Since the warm air is less dense, the warmer air will go over the top of the cold air. This would mean the air near the ground would be colder that the air above. If the colder air near the ground is below freezing, the ground would also be below freezing. If you were to drop rain water through this, the rain will fall through the warmer air first. Then it will fall through a layer of air that would be below freezing just above the ground. If the water does not freeze into ice pellets or sleet before hitting the ground surface, it will likely freeze right after it hits the frozen surface. When that happens, you have freezing rain. With a cold front, colder air is moving into warmer air. With the colder air being more dense, it will lift the less denser warm air up. Precipitation that falls from the cold front usually starts off at the boudary where the warm air meets the cold air. So pr! ecipitation with a cold front will form at the boundary and will likely fall through the colder air only. So it will fall as rain if the colder layer of air is above freezing, will fall as snow if the colder air is below freezing, or will fall as a rain/snow mix if the air near the ground is just above freezing....Show more

Valentine Michaud: Hate to break you little heart but there is no such thing as global warming....about 30 years ago they said it was global cooling...but then it got warmer...and they decided to switch to global warming....kinda surprised they haven't switched back to cooling...if global warming was real they would bring back the electric cars...and actually make differences not these fake differences...Show more

Cómo convertirse en un niño modelo

Cómo convertirse en un niño modelo

¿Eres un niño con una personalidad extrovertida que disfruta posando para fotos? Usted podría ser el candidato ideal para convertirse en un modelo infantil. Sin embargo, si estás interesado en entrar en el campo, es importante que entiendas que se necesita trabajo duro, paciencia, compromiso y la ayuda de tus padres para tener éxito.

Confianza en el proyecto. Si quieres que los agentes y ejecutivos de casting crean en ti, tienes que hacerles saber que crees en ti mismo. En sus reuniones, trate de usar su lenguaje corporal para transmitir su confianza en sí mismo. Mantenga el contacto visual con las personas con las que se va a reunir, y siéntese y párese derecho. Evite también el nerviosismo.

Decida si tiene la personalidad adecuada. Incluso si usted cree que le gustará modelar y posar para la cámara, también debe averiguar si tiene el temperamento adecuado par! a el trabajo. Muchos niños son tímidos con los extraños cuando son jóvenes, pero si estás modelando, debes tener confianza y ser extrovertido. No puede sentirse incómodo cuando está trabajando con nuevos agentes, fotógrafos, ejecutivos y otros miembros del equipo en cada sesión de fotos.

Identifique agencias de buena reputación en su área. Debido a que la mayoría de los clientes que buscan modelos infantiles no hacen el casting ellos mismos, tendrás que firmar con una agencia de modelos que pueda identificar los trabajos para los que eres adecuado. Sin embargo, es importante encontrar agencias en su área, porque se espera que usted viaje donde está el rodaje. Pídele a tus padres que te ayuden a buscar en Internet «agencias de modelos» y el nombre de tu ciudad o la ciudad más cercana. Asegúrese de que los que encuentre estén registrados en el Better Business Bureau (BBB), para que sepa que no son una estafa.

Sea realista sobre sus probabilida! des de gran éxito. El modelaje es muy competitivo, así que t! e vas a enfrentar a muchos otros niños que también quieren ser modelos. Como resultado, encontrar una agencia que trabaje con usted y con empleos puede no ser tan fácil. No puedes contar con ser un éxito instantáneo o ganar mucho dinero, así que no deberías modelar sólo por la fama y la fortuna.

Sea usted mismo en las reuniones. Si tienes la suerte de conseguir una reunión con una agencia de modelos, es obviamente importante dar una buena impresión. A los agentes ya les gusta tu aspecto basado en tus fotos, pero quieren asegurarse de que tienes una personalidad divertida y extrovertida a juego. Pero eso no significa que debas fingirlo. No podrás seguir actuando en todos los castings y sesiones de fotos que realices, así que sé tú mismo y hazle saber al agente quién eres realmente.

Toma unas cuantas fotos. A diferencia de los modelos adolescentes o adultos, no es necesario tener un portafolio profesional cuando se trata de convertirse en un modelo ! infantil. Esto se debe a que los niños crecen y cambian tan rápidamente que las fotografías se vuelven anticuadas a toda prisa. La mayoría de las agencias de modelos requieren sólo unas pocas fotos para las presentaciones. Aunque siempre es útil que un fotógrafo profesional tome fotos, no es necesario. Los padres pueden tomar las fotos de usted â€" sólo asegúrese de que la iluminación es buena y utilizar la mejor cámara disponible para usted para tomas limpias y claras. Sería mejor no usar demasiado maquillaje, mantenerlo natural.

Prepárese para el rechazo. Aunque modelar puede ser muy divertido, hay una parte que a nadie le gusta: el rechazo. Debido a que el campo es tan competitivo, vas a tener que enfrentarte a cientos de otros niños que están tratando de conseguir un agente de modelaje o un trabajo de modelaje. En algunos casos, usted no va a ser el más adecuado para lo que el agente o cliente quiere. No deberías sentirte mal contigo mismo si te l! leva un tiempo conseguir un trabajo o si no consigues un trabajo que re! almente quieres. Sólo significa que usted no es la persona adecuada para ese trabajo o agencia en particular.

Consigue el permiso de tus padres. Cuando seas niño, necesitarás el permiso de tus padres para convertirte en un modelo, así que tienes que conseguir que estén de acuerdo. Es posible que les preocupe cómo el modelaje afectará a otras partes de tu vida, así que asegúrate de decirles que la escuela seguirá siendo una prioridad y que tú seguirás haciendo todas tus tareas.

Asegúrate de que estás realmente interesado en modelar. Ser modelo puede parecer un trabajo excitante y glamuroso, pero en realidad requiere mucho trabajo duro. Es importante determinar si realmente disfrutará de la experiencia antes de renunciar a su tiempo libre que podría pasar jugando con sus amigos para comprometerse con el modelaje. Pídale a un amigo o familiar que practique una sesión de fotos con usted para ver si se divierte posando.

Sea persistente. Si el ! modelaje es algo que realmente quieres hacer, necesitarás mantener tu confianza incluso si no estás consiguiendo tantos trabajos como te gustaría. Tener éxito como modelo normalmente requiere persistencia, así que no te rindas aunque las cosas no estén funcionando tan rápido como esperabas.

Asistir a las visitas. Cuando una agencia encuentra trabajos de modelaje para los que cree que usted es un buen candidato, le envía en viajes, que son reuniones con ejecutivos de empresas que están buscando modelos. Al igual que con tus reuniones en las agencias de modelos, los agentes de casting quieren asegurarse de que no sólo tienes el aspecto adecuado para el trabajo, sino también la personalidad adecuada. Manéjelo de la misma manera que lo haría en una reunión con un agente: sea seguro y amable, pero sea usted mismo.

Reconocer el compromiso requerido. El modelaje parece un trabajo emocionante, pero usted debe entrar en el proceso entendiendo que no todo es! diversión y juegos. Puede tomar horas para obtener sólo un puñado d! e inyecciones, y usted necesitará dar el máximo esfuerzo todo el tiempo. Los rodajes suelen tener también mucho tiempo de inactividad, lo que significa que probablemente estarás sentado mucho tiempo mientras esperas para posar.

Firme con una agencia. Si le gustas a una agencia de modelos, querrán que firmes un contrato. El contrato establece los términos de su acuerdo, incluyendo el tipo de honorarios que la agencia tomará para sus asignaciones. En última instancia, tus padres decidirán si el contrato es lo mejor para ti y lo firmarán en tu nombre. Es posible que deseen que un abogado lo lea antes de firmarlo para asegurarse de que es un buen contrato.

Obtenga asesoramiento sobre las agencias de otros modelos de niños y padres. Saber que una agencia está bien valorada con el BBB es importante, pero escuchar las experiencias de otros modelos con la agencia puede ser aún más útil. Si usted conoce otros modelos de niños, pregúnteles cómo les gusta! trabajar con su agencia. Pídele a tus padres que hablen con ellos también, para que puedan tener respuestas a algunas de sus preguntas.

Habla con tus padres. Una vez que estés seguro de que te gustará modelar y de que tienes la personalidad para ello, deberías hablar con tus padres al respecto. Explícales por qué estás interesado en modelar. Puedes decirles que crees que te permitirá expresarte o que crees que te ayudará a sentirte más seguro. Incluso puedes decirles que crees que será divertido posar para las fotos. Sólo sé honesto y entusiasta.

Enviar fotos. Una vez que haya encontrado algunas agencias de renombre en su área, es hora de enviar sus fotos. Visite los sitios web de las agencias para determinar cuál es su proceso de presentación. Algunas agencias le permitirán enviar sus fotos en línea, mientras que otras requieren que envíe copias impresas de las mismas. Probablemente tendrás que escribir una carta de interés para acompaña! r las fotos, así que pídele a tus padres que te ayuden con eso.

How to reduce global warming (big and small scale)?

Hilton Paiva: What global warming?Top climate scientists say there is no man-made Global Warming.The Great Global Warming Swindlehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtevF4B4RtQ

Jorge Detlefs: We do nothing. Climate change occurs naturally. Look at the iceages.

Hilde Heskett: Let's go for big scale.Imagine that here in the UK we can all reduce our "carbon footprint. We could go for zero energy lighting. Just use daylight. We could give up our cars. We could ban all commercial and public vehicles: Buses, vans, lorries, taxis, motor bikes, planes, boats, trains etc. Close all the shops, offices, factories, government departments. We could stop breathing. We could shut down the whole country and march the population into the disused mine shafts and seal up the entrances to stop our "borrowed" carbon re-entering the atmosphere.If we did all that it would save a massive 1.8% of the world's man-made "carbon" production. At the current rate of world increase in "carbon emi! ssions" that would mean that the earth would not melt (or whatever it is going to do - anyone know?) in January 2100 but in about August 2100.Our great-great-grand children will be so proud - or perhaps not because there won't be any. Other countries' great-great-grand children will be so proud....Show more

Bailey Lares: i think global warming is increasing because sometimes we fart to much

Joaquin Dronko: If AGW is real. Why not limit the President of the United States to one vacation a year, and he has to travel by car, preferably the VOLT? Why not put the limitations that our leaders have in store for us, on our leaders. These people create 1000 times more GHG than the average citizen does.

Joeann Hoyt: On a small scale, you can do simple things such as using public transportation/biking to places instead of a car. If you do need to buy a car, try an electric or hybrid. Using less electricity also helps (so turning off lights when not in a room, not lea! ving chargers in outlets, unplugging electronics when not in u! se). On a large scale, moving towards renewable energy is huge and also using renewable products instead of disposable to reduce waste in general. Also on the large scale would be to make a shift towards naturally-grown products instead of processed and drugged foods. If you ever get into the study of the environment, you'll find out that everything's very interconnected -- from farming to plastic bags to energy. I'll put in the sources section some great books you should check out when it comes to reducing waste and emissions....Show more

Stanton Villao: Things you can do to help:1. Reduce waste. Anything you use took energy to make or process, and energy to transport it to you, and at least some of that energy was probably from fossil fuels like coal and oil. So, the less you waste, and thus the less you use, the less energy is used on your behalf2. Drive less. Walk, take a bus, or ride your bike when you can to visit friends or go to work or school, instead of! driving or having someone drive you. When you do have to drive somewhere, see if you can arrange a carpool so that fewer cars are needed, and/or arrange to do all your driving in one trip.3. Buy environmentally friendly things. Buy recycled, buy local, buy "green". Not every "green" thing really is better for the environment (sometimes it's just a marketing gimmick), but if you're intelligent and careful, you can reduce your environmental impact by buying things that were made from re-used materials, or didn't have to be transported as far, or that are made with readily renewable resources like most plant fibers. Doing any of those things will tend to reduce the environmental impact of your purchases.4. Learn more, and share with others. You may not be able to do the "big" things yourself (like set government policy, or switch the power company to renewable energy sources), but you can learn about them. And once you have learned about them, you can write letters, a! nd get your friends to write letters, urging the relevant people (your ! government representatives, the power company, and so forth) to take appropriate action.On a larger scale, we need to, well, stop using fossil fuels, and stop deforestation. There are many ways to do this. A carbon tax, or cap-and-trade, would provide economic pressure to use alternatives to fossil fuels. Legally restricting specific technologies--for example, banning incandescent light bulbs, or requiring car manufacturers to increase the average gas mileage of the cars they sell--will reduce consumption of fossil fuel energy. Stopping subsidies of fossil fuels, and increasing subsidies for non-fossil energy sources, would also decrease the relative attractiveness of fossil fuels.

global ---- warming ? ? ?

Coleman Petropoulos: For the record, this is for a debate. These are the arguments the negative side will use. I need good counter-arguments. And, unfortunately, these facts are correct (sources are legitimate). Even though I believe in AGW, the negative debaters are very good at picking sources.AGW, anthropogenic global warming, is the idea that man has caused the warming of the Earth. Obviously, recently, the average surface temperature of Earth has increased.HOWEVER, there are many other facts in the matter (these are the killer arguments the opposing team uses):1. Total ice mass in both the North and South pole have increased, although large ice slabs have been coming off. Even then, total ice mass still increases.2. The variations in temperature have been seen MANY times in Earth's history, sometimes larger and faster too. While global warming does, therefore, exist, there is doubt on whether or not it is man-made because such temperature fluctuations have been obser! ved in the past. (Past temperatures can be measured very accurately via ice samples, apparently, making this a legit source).3. There are two separate graphs following the increase of CO2 and temperature. Apparently the rise in CO2 *follows* the rise in temperature by hundreds of years, not vice versa.These are massive killer arguments. Of course, there are a few more.They have the sources which I will post as soon as I find them....Show more

Terresa Tsasie: Global warming is when the temperature around the world gets warmer. There's a natural cycle the earth has been going through for thousands of years. We have global warming for many years, and then it flips and in very quick order, we shift to global cooling which happens much faster than globalwarming, and it puts us into an ice age. Man does contribute to it, I'm sure, but we are not the largest contributors by far. There are people who believe global warming is a horrible thing and may destroy the earth, how! ever, it's simply a normal part of the weather cycle. They fo! rget that, by trying to have humans undo the global warming trents, they might just do enough to trigger us succenly diving into an ice age, which is the end result of global cooling.Mankind cannot control this totally, since it's not the only contributor, and we just don't have that kind of control over all the animals and plants that inhabit the earth. Right now there's a show on the History Channel you should all watch, and it's on "The Little Ice Age" -!-...Show more

Karl Jantzen: Not real.If all they have is CO2... consider that every bit of plant matter that grows is digested by an animal, insect or microbe and converted into CO2 and other "greenhouse gasses." By comparison, human contribution is utterly trivial. Then when plants are exposed to more CO2, they consume more... (CO2 generators are put into greenhouses to increase plant growth.) So it's simply impossible for us to have an even noticable effect on the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere....Show more

No. The temperature has been very stable for the past 8000 years. We've actually been slowly cooling towards the next ice age. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Holocene_Tempera...There is no natural explanation for the current rapid warming. http://greenhome.huddler.com/wiki/global-warming-a...3. The lag time is only about 800 years, whereas the historical temperature rises took around 5000 years. Therefore CO2 could have contributed 5/6 of the warming period. It was what's known as a "feedback", not a forcing. http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2004...It is extraordinarily clear that the! rise in temperatures is not causing the current rise in CO2. Several i! ndependent observations that confirm this can be found in Myth #15 below. http://greenhome.huddler.com/wiki/global-warming-m......Show more

Ronnie Sardi: Global climate is mainly driven by solar activity, not man-made activity which has little impact on the planet's temperatures. Solar activity is currently at a lull which means that the earth recently started cooling down again and many scientists predict a mini ice-age. While the talking heads on TV accuse you of being Hitler if you deny global warming we are having record lows in many regions around the world. Carbon dioxide does not drive climate change or global temperatures. Its a popular myth pushed by hypocritical gas-bag Al Gore and the many business' that stand to gain from carbon trading schemes designed to suck money from the poorest people on the planet which rarely goes into worth-while schemes such as reforestation, desalination or desert reclamation.The worst effect of human industrial activity is t! he real pollutants which we are breathing and eating every day. Many of which are even deliberately fed to us in our food and water. CO2 hype is just a distraction.The sun controls global temperatures. Break out your warmer clothes cause solar flares are at an all time low....Show more

Libby Berkovitch: I think it is true because deforestation is letting more CO2 into the atmosphere. This makes it harder for the crops to grow, because they are not used to the climate that they are experiencing. By dong this, there will be less crops and this will rise the price. To prove it as well is that natural disasters such as flooding, earthquakes, tsunamis, droughts, Landslides all of these which are getting more frequent due to Global Warming, these are causing crops to be distroyes and therefore pusing prices higher.

Isaias Badgley: yes it is true but only in some cases,1.bcoz of global warming the temp. is rising.2.due to this temp. increase the crop production is les! s.3.and hence Global warming is pushing crop prices higher.

Georg! ianna Zollo: It is false and obviously so. Those who suggest it has affected crop yeild are lying or simply ignorant (probably the latter). In fact warmth is generally good for plants assuming they have enough water. Cold is generally bad. Warming should increase yields if everything else is equal. Increased CO2 will allow plants to close their stomata earlier which lessens the amount of water they need. It is true that government intervention causes increased prices and reduced supplies but that doesn't mean warming is causing shortages.

Mahalia Brindle: Many things affect the price of food, deniers tried to single out the use of ethanol based fuels as the cause, will this did have a small effect so did several other things, chief amongst them is growing wealth in China, mean greater demand for better food.Tomcat posts a stat on global Wheat production 1996-2009In millions of metric tons 585.4-681.9 But human population is growing faster than that, in 1996 it w! as 5.7 billion in 2009 it was 6.8 billion, we are barely keeping up with demand, so anything that has even a small effect on availability is going to affect us all, to date I think AGW has had little effect but as the effects grow that will not continue to be the case.Then there's what happened to the corn price in 2008, without any drop in demand for corn based ethanol, which hardly suggests much of an effect, but that didn't stop denier sites continuing to bang the drum.http://uk.reuters.com/article/2008/10/23/food-corn...

Hans Sachetti: Global warming has been largely created by the actions of man and its time we re-looked at the way we consumed the earths resources. One of the earth’s resources especially under stress is water and it must be conserved now. There are many simple yet inexpensive things you can do about the house to save water, and keep your bills down. To read them visit http://www.bewaterwise.com/tips01.html

Rosio Pasculli: Easy.#1 is just ! plain false. Here is the northern hemisphere ice:http://nsidc.org/data! /seaice_index/images/n_plot.p...#2 is a logical fallacy. Of course there have been natural climate changes in the past. That doesn't tell us anything about the current climate change.Forest fires always happened naturally in the past. Does that mean humans can't cause forest fires?#3 simply ignores physics. CO2 is a greenhouse gas - if the amount in the atmosphere increases, it will cause the planet to warm. Again, this is basic physics.The fact that CO2 has lagged behind temperature in the past is because CO2 is also a feedback, meaning if something else causes the planet to warm, there are various feedbacks which will cause the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere to increase, and that CO2 will in turn cause the planet to warm.http://greenhome.huddler.com/wiki/global-warming-a...Very simple stuff. If the "judges" claim that data over time spans of less than 8,000 years are "irrelevant", then the debate is rigged anyway and you can't win. That's a load of garbage....Show! more

Emile Midgley:

Von Houskeeper: I don't think the answer can be distilled down to a simple true or false. In terms of yields, there were severe weather events that impacted and threaten to impact crop prices, but the proponents of AGW do not make the claim that single weather events can be attributed to AGW, only that long-term trends can. So you could have a season of severe drought in an area that could indeed impact crop prices, but you can't attribute that particular season of drought directly to AGW.That's one of the things that makes it trick-and we might even be able to say that the complexities and uncertainties on both sides of the debate are the reasons the issue has become so politicized. Anyway...theoretically, mankind's activities are believed to be one of the accelerating factors behind Arctic ic! e melting, and that in turn could affect thermohaline circulation, whic! h in turn could affect regional climate, which in turn could affect crop production, which in turn could affect prices.However, there are a lot of variables, and connecting the dots from AGW to higher crop prices now is tenuous at best. A bigger influence at this particular juncture would be commodity and futures traders buying and selling based on single or particular events that may impact supply.One might say that yes, these commodity traders are influenced by events that one believes are connected to AGW, but the fact of the matter is we are seeing weather patterns and climate change that may affect one region negatively, but by and large those negative impacts are being countered by record yields in other regions, either by favorable weather/climate changes or improving technology.In time to come, if global temperatures continue to increase-whether a natural process accelerated by mankind or not-and we see impacts such as desertification start to take over formerly fe! rtile regions-think about the midwestern U.S, among the most productive land in the entire world. Right now we got the best growing climate for our agricultural needs over the best land...what happens if sooner than we can adapt we have the best growing climate over the crappiest land? If the temperate zone most responsive to agriculture shifts northward to less arable land, we would certainly see an impact on total global production of crops. At that juncture we would be able to say inarguably that global warming-regardless of the cause-is indeed pushing crop prices higher.I'm not a scientist, but I do know agriculture and commodities.

Irving Jordahl: Global warming (and cooling!) is happening right now. Here is truth about global warming:Global warming is one-half of the climatic cycle of warming and cooling. The earth's mean temperature cycles around the freezing point of water.This is a completely natural phenomenon which has been going on since there has been water on this planet. It is driven by the sun.Our planet is currently emerging from a 'mini ice age', so is becoming warmer and may return to the point at which Greenland is again usable as farmland (as it has been in recorded history).As the polar ice caps decrease, the amount of fresh water mixing with oceanic water will slow and perhaps stop the thermohaline cycle (the oceanic heat 'conveyor' which, among other things, keeps the U.S. east coast warm). When this cycle slows/stops, the planet will cool again and begin to enter another ice age. It's been happening for millions of years.The worrisome and brutal predicti! ons of drastic climate effects are based on computer models, NOT CLIMATE HISTORY. As you probably know, computer models are not the most reliable of sources, especially when used to 'predict' chaotic systems such as weather.Global warming/cooling, AKA 'climate change':Humans did not cause it.Humans cannot stop it....Show more

Paul Maymi: In 30-40 years, it is almost inevitable. Stephen Hacking even said so. Unless they ban burning fossil fuel except for maybe steel mills in America and other countries, were fu(ked.

Felicitas Phildor: Global warming is the increase in the average measured temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century, and its projected continuation. The Earth's climate changes in response to external forcing, including variations in its orbit around the Sun (orbital forcing), changes in solar luminosity, volcanic eruptions, and atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. ! The detailed causes of the recent warming remain an active field of res! earch, but the scientific consensus is that the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases due to human activity caused most of the warming observed since the start of the industrial era. This attribution is clearest for the most recent 50 years, for which the most detailed data are available. Some other hypotheses departing from the consensus view have been suggested to explain most of the temperature increase. One such hypothesis proposes that warming may be the result of variations in solar activity. None of the effects of forcing are instantaneous. The thermal inertia of the Earth's oceans and slow responses of other indirect effects mean that the Earth's current climate is not in equilibrium with the forcing imposed. Climate commitment studies indicate that even if greenhouse gases were stabilized at 2000 levels, a further warming of about 0.5 °C (0.9 °F) would still occur. ...Show more

Chr! isty Tirabassi: The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has a basic definition of climate change that I believe is a pretty good summary:"Climate change refers to a statistically significant variation in either the mean state of the climate or in its variability, persisting for an extended period (typically decades or longer). Climate change may be due to natural internal processes or external forcings, or to persistent anthropogenic changes in the composition of the atmosphere or in land use."In other words, a long-term shift in the climatic trends of a region or the globe, depending on the scope you're looking at. As the IPCC points out, this could be due to natural causes or human-induced changes.Some natural causes would include:- changes in solar output (this could have a wide range of effects)- Milankovitch cycles (slow changes in the Earth's orbit and axial tilt)- excessive or very low volcanic activity- changes in surface albedo (amount of sunlight ref! lected back from Earth - higher albedo usually means cooler temperature! s)- shifts in the ability of oceans to circulate water north/south- a naturally changing greenhouse effectOn average, and respectively, the factors above induce these effects when increasing and the opposite when decreasing:- warming- (not really an increasing/decreasing type of factor)- cooling- cooling- warming- warmingThere could also be anthropogenic causes, mainly:- enhanced greenhouse effect- aerosol production (causes cooling)The current agreement among the vast majority of climate scientists is that the global warming (and the subsequent climate change) in the past century was largely attributable to human activities enhancing the planet's greenhouse effect, and in the past ~40 years almost entirely due to human emissions....Show more

Zelma Casebier: my name is rachel and I am obsesed with global warming me and my friends from school went around and picked up garbage around our neighborhood. global warming is caused by the fumes in the air that come from cars, factories, sometimes lawn mowers, grills, and people smoking out doors. how this causes it is the gas from the fumes fills the air and takes away the Oxygen thus making the air warm and melts the glaciers when the glaciers melt the water level rises and this causes hurricanes. my opinion is to take action recyle, use energy safe light bulbs, and stop litering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Show more

Conrad Puleio: Some leftist politician! s are using the natural process of temperature changes to create a fals! e impression that man is bad and needs to change everything about how he lives. Al Gore is near the top of the ladder here, but there are others. Some governments have implemented 'carbon taxes' of some sort to get more money from the masses, but this is corruption at it's worst. Man-made global warming doesn't exist. It seems to have become quite a popular noton in Europe, a bit in Australia but otherwise the scam can't get itself rolling much, thankfully....Show more

Clement Viscarro: Anyone that says global warming is a theory has just not been able to grasp the science.As global warming changes weather and climate some areas that have traditionally fed the world will change and therefore drive prices up.As well as fossil fuels get more expensive and costs of food will be effected

Chanda Wittwer: If you want to acquire furnish cash for local weather study, do you feel that you can get a cheque if you happen to say," I want the furnish, as I feel that I c! an turn out that the figures that the present paradigm is headquartered upon are improper" ? The pleasant environmentalist, David Bellamy, has been silenced, and refused airtime. There continues to be no confirmed causative hyperlink among the quantity of Co2 within the surroundings, and an broaden in worldwide temperatures. The WWWF pics of the polar bears swimming have been taken within the Arctic summer season; while the ice cap in part melts, as they could not rise up to picture within the wintry weather. The ice used to be too thick! The East-Anglian uni study figures. "Oh! The figures do not fit our expectancies. Oh good. Keep quiet. Because we all know that we're correct." When the notion, and the religion is extra predominant than squarely going through the professional doubts of plenty of non furnish-supported scientists, technology has been superceded by means of devout zealots. As Oliver Cromwell colourfully mentioned." I pray thee, within the bowels of Christ, r! ecollect that thou mayest be improper."...Show more

Andrew Sinatr! a: The sun changes its outputs and the climate changes.

Serena Doak: changes in climate, when the air temperature changes to a temp where it is different then before.

Sang Hanafin: It is not universally agreed that global warming is even happenning. But if you are a scientist, and someone pays you to find an answer, you find that answer - or you don't get a paycheck. Some scientists who don't believe in global warming are afraid to say so because it could hurt their reputation and cost them their job.And if global warming is happenning, keep in mind that we are coming out of an ice age. http://globalwarminghoax.com/mc...Show more

Branden Round: Only the fear of AGW is pushing the crop prices higher. The use of "biofuels" as an alternative to oil, uses much land and threatens to use more and raise the crop prices. Not only do these biofuels cost more than gas and increase the cost of crops, but they also place as much CO2 into the climate as gasoline. ! The only way to get away with such absurdity by slapping some green paint on it, is by scaring people with some silly nonsense that the world is coming to an end due to AGW. So go back and worry about the things you should worry about, like education your kids, putting food on the table, saving for retirement, etc. Ignore these foolish scare-mongering boorish people that are spreading this nonsense. Whether it be the church or the clerics or the AGW zealots, people have been saying the world is going to end for as long as history records and they always blame the people. They have all been wrong, and these idiots putting on a lab coat and calling themselves scientists (though they never practice the scientific method) are going to have the same results as every other scare-mongering fool of the past.So Samy,Just so I understand your logic, higher temps mean less crops, so lower temps must mean more crop. Hence why don't we just start farming in Anartica. Lots of stuff ! grows there right? FAIL...Show more

Debora Rinderer: My understa! nding is that human activity is causing the dissipation of the ozone layer, which helps protect the earth's surface from the sun's more harmful radiation. (Put REALLY simplistically, I know).

Elli Esaw: there's a extensive distinction between exists and "planetary emergency". the only reason it fairly is an emergency is by using the fact they don't spend 5 billion plus money a 365 days till there's a severe reason to.

Sena Highman: Dawei's argument on the CO2 lag seems to have worked but, unfortunately:All the other arguments are termed "irrelevant" by the judges because the time periods are too short to contradict any of the opposing arguments. Apparently 8000 years is too short a time to record the temperatures of, and the sudden drop in ice mass (which occured in ~5 years) does not account for the increase which has occured since quite some time ago (talking about back to the dinosaurs here).Thanks anyways....Show more

Jamika Gregorio: False as global warming is a far from proved theory. In any case crop prices are mainly controlled by supply, demand, yield and market forces like speculation.

Russell Mckinzie: AGW, anth! ropogenic global warming is the issue of the earth surface temperature ! has increased because of human activities. Mainly the global warming has caused by increasing of CO2 at the atmosphere and it will increase the temperature on the earth surface as well.

Terresa Tsasie: Well.... the yet-to-be-proven notion of catastrophic man-caused global warming has served as a vehicle for production of the extremely expensive and toxic fuel called 'Ethanol'. Made from corn in this country, an alarmingly high percentage of the U.S. corn crop goes into the production of the nasty stuff. So much.... that there is a definite world-wide impact on the cost of grain.

Eva Lichlyter: My state has cooled off since 1998, and we are back to just about the same avg. temperature we were at over 20 years ago, so has very little effect on crop prices.
