Wow. . . nobody in town ever talks about the planes that are dumping perfectly good fuel into the local corn crops to kill birds. I wonder why? (Happens only in your head.)
Dumping fuel before landing!!! WTF. You'd better hope that the planes get the landing right the first time because there wouldn't be any fly-by's for a second chance due to a bad approach. Too funny.

I agree that politicians are lairs, but taxing corporations isn't going to do anything but increase the cost of their goods. It's been proven through 40 years of increasing taxes on companies, that all the companies do is increase their prices
Instead of trying to tax that company in your town with the planes, get the regulations changed so that they have to land with the fuel, or build a structure to catch the fuel, or pay to help the purification of the water

And the REAL "kicker" is that Industries that polute will NOT lessen their carbon outputs either. (why would they when there's so much money to be made?). The real solution is to create incentive programs for alternative energy sources, whilst minimizing governmental support for poluting Industries. But don't hold your breath on this, as they stand to lose millions of dollars in tax revenue if they do...
Besides, it's much easier to punish the little guy instead (i.e. us).

I understand precisely what you're saying: Of course job creation is good, and caring for the environment is even better, BUT that is not the issue here... The issue is that our politicians are trying to use the environment "card" to justify new taxes on Industries that produce polution. "Fine.." you say... Well, its not really, because those same Industries will then immediately pass any new taxes onto us, the consumers, and our bills will go through the roof, as a direct result...

try and see where your sources are from. Don't turn science into a belief. That's completely missing the point.

the question is. is it melting on land? all we hear about is that the ice is breaking off of land. Ice actually decreases in volume when it melts. thats how melting erosion works.

I don't believe in global warming but I do believe that we should keep the earth clean. Also the Go green movement that we are having is helping our economy by forming new jobs. So these people might be making money off of telling us lies but at least it helps the economy going. It wouldn't hurt to recycle would it?

Hey, I'm not a Global Warming Cultist, BUT, I must say that if the ice you';re referring too, is currently on land, then YES... if it melts it will raise sea levels. That is commonsense as well ;)
Kinda like, dropping an iceblock into a glass, that didn't initially have any ice in it. It's obvious that the level of the water in it will rise.

Well said!
Does that Corporation that you can see from your roof happen to employ any of your buddies or their families? Don't move in next to the airport and then bitch about the noise that the airplanes make or in this case the fuel they drop. Have you ever thought of the reason why they drop fuel at 10K feet (that atomizes prior to hitting the ground) or why birds are mitigated near the airport.....plane crash very bad for those aboard and for those who live next to airport!

That company, which was ABX and then was DHL is now gone - costing thousands of jobs. You may have heard about the DHL pull-out earlier this year.

wouldnt u use propogandists techniques if u were trying to get a message out? i don't understand ur arguments. 8 minutes of video and u never talk about motivation... republicans use scare tactics to stay in office and and perpetuate a bullshit war to gain resources and global corporate control....
al gore's motivation for alerting us of how we're fucking our environment is.... help business for recycling companies?
damn. waste of time. "we're not responsible its the corporations" nice.

God no - propaganda is too obvious to me and (I would hope) many others.
This isn't a bipartisan argument, because both parties are screwing over this country for their own gains.
The motivation behind Climate Change" is pretty obvious looking at the new "Cap & Trade" bill ...
And just like every other plan our government has made to "help" the environment; it's all about taxes & money without doing anything.

"Melting ice won't raise sea levels any more than the melting ice in your drink would make your glass overflow".
Interesting analogy, but false. The majority of ice in the polar regions in over land mass and is not displacing water. A more accurate analogy would be - 'the ice you are holding over your drink. ' In other words as the ice melts it spills into the liquid. The ice isn't *in* the water.If you can't understand a simple concept like that, I doubt you can understand anything.

Pretty much covered permafrost in the comments years ago, Speedy. Thanks for catching up.
