Mercury, the closest planet to the sun, has almost no atmosphere and the high temp is around 350 Celsius. Venus, a little further from the sun, has an atmosphere of about 96% Co2 and the high temp is around 500 Celsius. Our earth has less than 1% Co2, but I think due to the power of the green house effect. Co2 is a highly sensitive gas that traps heat from the suns incoming rays. Can an increase in just 1-2 % Co2 significantly change our high and low temps. Can humans output enough CO2 to make a difference?
It certainly is. CO2 is a proven

Do you think the oil spill is important?
The oil gushing out of the floor of our ocean is very important to all. It is a warning about greed and the lack of care taken for our planet and its population do to the amount of money it generates. We must take the time to be sure all work done on our planet will not harm the creatures or people of the earth. It is our duty to make sure no more oil wells run unless there is a safe way to control a spill if it does occur again. We cannot allow big money to make this error ever again. It has cost us the lives of many creatures and the ability of some to make a living now. It perhaps has fouled the waters so fish may be tainted or in the future shell fish in that area will be polluted and have to be shut down as areas where you may take these. The antifreeze used to disburse the oil may have consequences we still do not know like illnesses that will be caused from ingestion of this when swimming. The same for fish that swim through it and take it into their gills how do you know if the fish you eat did not swim through such water? It is a very serious problem and one this nation must take the time to make sure it never happens again.
It is very important! Who the **** puts this giant tube 5,000 feet below the surface. They should

Appropriate degrees of freedom for AR(1) linear regression?
Suppose I have two climate variables that each follow AR(1) (i.e., red noise) statistics and I wish to do a linear regression on them. What is an appropriate number of degrees of freedom to use for statistical calculations? Please give references if you have them.
Use the effective dof instead; ie approx (1-a)/(1 a), where a is the autoregressive coefficient. If my memory serves me, take a look at Nordo 1966. Anyway, ar1 typically underestimates the ac at lags

Is it selfish to have more than two children?
Read this carefully, and take a bit of time to think the issue over before responding. Knee-jerk reactions based on the title of the question are not welcome. If you plan to write people should have as many children as they like as long as they can afford them/ look after them youve missed something fundamental, and you ought to read the whole question below again- this question is not about affording children or your emotional capacity to care for them.

How to kill hundreds of maggots?
There are hundreds of maggots near the dumpsters just outside of our apartment where everyone throws their garbage. They are completely surrounding the dumpsters and inside of them. They are an eyesore and completely disgusting when they become flies and come into our home. My brother and I are planning to go out and exterminate them and I was wondering what would be the easiest way? Is there any substance that we could buy in bulk to use on these pests or something?? Or a less expensive way??( whatever is easiest)
Use a garden hose. Drown the bastards.
Drown them with water
I would use gas and roast em-----be carefull not to burn down the complex
DDT
buy a maggot monster from your nearest retail outlet
Fire. Fire solves all problems like this.
Also one of my friends once discovered that Febreeze and other air fresheners are surprisingly good for killing them too if used in sufficient quantities.
A mix of dish soap and water can do the trick. Simply mix a tablespoon of dish soap into an empty pop bottle...fill the rest with warm water and then pour it on.
good luck!

Solar panel question?
I am just trying to see if i understand the process and the components i would need.
I need a portable system for a laptop and a few small devices. After much research this is about as much as i know;
I will need a panel at least 30w.
I will transfer from the panel into a deep cycle battery storage.
I can then transfer from the battery into my laptop and devices.
Does this about sum it up?
What do i need to know about voltage? I see that the panels all have different voltages and i am wondering what voltage i need or how i figure that out.
I know i can charge directly from my car with an inverter but when i dont drive for days or weeks at a time i would like to put the panel in the rear window and connect it to a battery bank in my truck.
Does this plan sound viable?
Will i need other components?
Thanks
You need to calculate how much power you need. Take the watts times the number of hours used a day, that will be watt hours. 60W x 4 hours = 240wh. Find out how many sun hours are available where you will be, keep in mind a lot of places have half of the hours in the winter than in the summer, so use the lower number if this will be used in the winter. http://www.altestore.com/howto/Tools-Cal
240Wh / 5 sun hours = 48 watts. Add 30% for losses = 62W panel needed. You never want to use more than half the battery power, so multiply 240Wh times 2, add 30% for losses, divide by 12V system = 52ah battery bank.
Or go to an off-grid calculator like http://www.altestore.com/store/calculato
Panels, batteries, and systems are generally grouped into nominal voltage, 6V, 12V, 24V, etc. A 12V battery is actually about 14.5V, 12V panel is about 20V. But because they are all nominal 12V, they are designed to work together.
You then need an inverter to convert the 12V DC to 120V AC.
Your best bet is to buy a system that is already designed for you needs.
Try this site or google: solar computer battery charger
unfortunately the voltage produced varies with the amount of light. the simplest system uses a nominal 15v full-sun panel and a diode to prevent battery discharge through the panel. to get energy under all lighting conditions you need a higher panel voltage and a decent charge controller.

Does cigarette smoke damage the environment?
Yes
Only if you inhale.
Yes,smoking does damage the environment because the smoke coming from the cigarette goes out into the air,poisoning everything.
Yes it does, it pollutes us all *cough, choke, heave*
Cheers =)
Hey you!
Yes because smoke is pollution. The toxins and thousands of poisons in the cigarette going into the air do hurt it. But at a very small rate as to where it really wont make a difference. If you had 1 million people smoking a cigarette in a rally than maybe it might hurt the environment.
It pollutes your lungs and gives you cancer .
The cigarette butts are what really leave the biggest carbon footprint.

Nuclear or Re-usable energy?
I am currently an engineer student and through my studies so far I have a BIG question in my head. It is about energy. Do you thing that Nuclear Energy will be the future or the reusable energy. The point is that nuclear energy is already here and can supply a good amount of cheap energy with only a big disadvantage the nuclear wastes, which in my opinion if we put more effort we can decrease their activity. Another point is the new fusion reaction plant (ITER) that will be ready before 2020 and will have a really high efficiency and with no nuclear waste. From the other hand we have the reusable forms of energy which to me seems not good enough. Of course if we increase their efficiency, if we put more effort, if...,if.... . Does it really have to be that?
nuclear. the technology is evolving rapidly. we need the political will to implement it. would you live next to a coal fired plant, or a nuc facility? i,d choose a nuc plant. large piles of mined coal actually give off lots of radioactive elements into the environment.

What is the best conversion to water for gas in cars?
The internal combustion engine runs of gasoline and not water. Those devices that inject water in the system do not work and are a scam. In the future we may see a system that can convert water into fuel, but not now. Other than a steam engine, no engine runs on water.
Answer:
The best way to convert your car to use water as fuel is with a Hydrogen Generator fuel cell kit. HHO Generators turn water into Hydrogen Gas which can be used to increase the burn rate of fossil fuel, such as gasoline or diesel.
Many users are reporting an average of 30% to 60% increase in gas mileage with a Water Hybrid Fuel Cell. This is NOT FREE ENERGY, its simply fossil fuel enhancement.
Some people say it does not work, or its scientifically impossible, but they have never tried it so their opinion is flawed. Everyone who has tried it swears by it, many people are installing these devices for friends and family because they have proven to themselves that it DOES work.
You can use water as fuel in any internal combustion engine. This technology is probably the best way to significantly increase your cars gas mileage. Some users have reported MPG gains as high as 200% especially on diesel trucks and older model vehicles with carburetor engines. For more Information see related links.
Complete combustion of gasoline results in CO2 and H2O so the best way to convert some of the gasoline to water in a car is to drive it.

My favourite topic would be our use of energy and how we waste so much of it. I love the idea of using solar energy to provide all our energy needs. Did you know that the sun provides more energy in 1 second than our whole world has used since time began? The best part is that energy from the sun is free and we don
Don`t miss it cuz u`ll never see it again?!!!!!!!?
27th Aug the Whole World is waiting for.............
Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting August. It will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. This will cultivate on Aug. 27 when Mars comes within 34.65M miles off earth. Be sure to watch the sky on Aug. 27 12:30 am. It will look like the earth has 2 moons.The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287
i don`t want too miss it and i don`t want any one els too miss it cuz by the next time non of us will see it hurry up and right it somewhere so u want miss it i would post this again a night b4.
Thanks, I

How can I you use condoms in connection to the going green movement?
Oh my.. I suppose after use.. place em in the wash machine and reuse them later..
Recycle and reuse.
Use a biodegradable paper bag instead.
My boyfriend does and it feels soo good!!!

Very carefully. People make mistakes. Mistakes make people.
Say What? Seriously....
i have a feeling ur already doing your part in saving the environment. just stop using condoms to jerkoff
turn them inside out
Fun balloon animals, yay!
... I want a giraffe, ribbed for my pleasure.
use sheepskin ones, sheep are renewable resources.

If you were in an airplane at the same time that...?
there was an earthquake, would you be able to see the ground/buildings move/shake?!?!?!
You usually fly at 30,000 feet (10,000 m), even skyscrapers look small and are usually build to move at the top by 20 - 30 feet. You would not see this.
If the earthquake is strong enough to destroy buildings and they would crash down you would see the rubble dust which develops from the rubble but only very faintly.
with a good telescope
i say probably not but its possible
if the earthquake is stronge enough, I think it is possible to see it
No, but it depends on how close to the ground you where. But otherwise probably not.

What evidence is there that man is causing global warming?
A. CO2 emissions are increasing. In 1870 the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere was about 290 ppm. As of 2010, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has risen to 388 ppm. As explained below, very carefully calibrated measurements have confirmed that humans activities are the primary cause of this increase.

Good way to keep my room cold?
i got ice cubes in my room but i need it colder i got a fan in my room i got a air con in my kittchen wtf ells can i do
Several things you can do, how practical they are will depend on your situation.
Move around as little as possible, the less energy you expend the cooler youll be.
Drink loads of water, if you start to dehydrate youll sweat less, sweating is one of the bodies cooling mechanisms. If your urine is darker than normal it may well be that youre not drinking enough.
Close curtains and blinds to block out sunlight, open curtains and blinds in rooms not exposed to sunlight.
Rub medicinal alcohol onto your skin, alcohol evapourates quickly and draws heat from your body in the process.
Trick your mind by thinking of cold things and cold places, imagine swimming in freezing cold water.
If you have a ceiling fan, place a bowl of cold water underneath it, ideally with ice-cubes in it
Eat mints, apply mint based products to your skin. These dont actually cool you down but they refresh and have a cooling sensation.
Eat spicy foods, this causes you to perspire and lose heat.
Take regular cool (not cold) baths and showers.
Put your feet in a bowl of cool (not cold) water.
Wear light, loose-fitting clothing made from natural fabrics such as cotton or silk.
Hot air rises, downstairs rooms are generally cooler than upstairs ones so open doors to allow the heat to escape upwards
Spray yourself with water droplets (thoroughly clean out a trigger spray bottle and fill it with water or use an atomiser), better still get a misting fan
Wear wet clothes or at least a wet tee-shirt, once they dry out then wet them again.
I spend a lot of time in Africa and temperatures regularly exceed 40C, a combination of regular cool showers and wearing wet clothing usually does the trick.
Leave your windows open all night when its the coldest then close the windows right when it starts getting hot.
Fill it with dry ice. One way or another that will solve your problem.
You can do several things, the best ways are:
open windows at night time,
close curtains during the day to prevent the suns energy from entering the room, heating it up
and i find the best way to keep cold when tying to sleep (nothing to do with the room) is to have a cold shower before you go to your bedroom if you find it too hot to sleep.
dry ice blocks under your matress
air conditioning it works for me
Most people handle dry or sensible heat just fine, if they aren

What evidence is there that man isn
Hi Elena,
Its perhaps not so much that theres *evidence* that man isnt causing global warming, more that theres other possible explanations.
What I mean by this is that there are a number of alternative explanations that have been proposed over the years. However, when examined objectively and critically none of these other ideas can explain the present warming. This doesnt prove that man is or isnt causing global warming, what it does demonstrate is that no alternative explanation has come to light. Ill explain the proof part later.
For example, its often claimed that the present warming is being caused by natural cycles. The skeptics tend to leave it at that and hope that the argument sounds convincing enough. In reality, because theyre cycles they come and go at regular intervals, this means that theyre entirely predictable. There are numerous natural cycles and when we add together all the different effects we find that Earth should have been cooling very slightly for some time now.
Quite often people blame the Sun. It wont come as any surprise to learn that for decades weve been monitoring the Sun and can measure with incredible accuracy the amount of energy being received. Whilst theres an 11 year cycle associated with the solar cycles, the overall trend is one of very slightly decreasing solar output; thus we should be cooling and not warming.
Mike uses another popular argument and claims that every planet in the solar system is also warming. This is completely untrue. Seven of the 189 moons and planets in the solar system are warming (Earth, Enceladus, Mars, Triton, Pluto, Io and Jupiter) and in each case the cause is unique to that solar body.
Ottawa Mike then talks about a lack of a warming trend in the last 10 to 15 years, this is another argument which is popular amongst the skeptics. In climatology a trend is based on events over periods of at least 30 years, anything less is subject to too many short term variables. When we look at the 30 year temperature trend we find that Earth has warmed every year since 1966. Heres a graph I produced 3 weeks ago, its constructed from several billion readings taken over the last 160 years, the red line is the 30 year trend http://www.flickr.com/photos/trevorandcl
For the absolute proof that humans are a factor we need to delve into both chemistry and physics.
The explanation for why global warming occurs (natural and manmade) can be found at the atomic level. In essence, the vibrational frequency of thermal radiation is the same as that of the greenhouse gases thus allowing for absorption and retransmission of the heat energy. What this means is that the more greenhouse gases there are in the atmosphere the more heat will be retained.
Where the chemistry side comes into play is through isotopic analysis. Carbon has three different isotopes - the same atom but with a different number of neutrons. The carbon within the carbon dioxide that is released by human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels, has a different isotopic ratio to naturally occurring carbon dioxide and thus we can establish just how much of the CO2 in the atmosphere is from human sources.
For millions of years the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere varied between 180 and 290 parts per million by volume, in the last 100 years it has rocketed to 394ppmv.
All told, there are now 40% more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere than at any time since the earliest humans walked on the planet.
With such a dramatic increase in the concentrations of greenhouse gases the atmosphere has no alternative other than to retain more heat energy.
The entire problem with this issue is a lack of evidence.

Are there any salt water swamps?
Yep! They are generally called marshes when they have saltwater. You can find tons of them all along the coast really. They usually have tall grass, and a bunch of channels of water zig zagging through. They are a very important habitat for crabs, birds, shellfish, fish, and other marine critters. The water levels also correspond to the tides as well, so low tide they can appear to be just mud, and high tide you see the channels.
Yes.
hello
A saltwater swamp or marsh is formed by the flooding and draining of seawater. Evidence of one would be the plant called the Mangrove, which can survive in conditions like so.
So yes, there are saltwater swamps.
