I don't know...

This sounds alot like one of those "no dinner, dinners"

Virtual march?

Online petition I could do...
Virtual March...now thats borderline dishonest (read: bush admin tactics/policies/nomonies)

This looks totally great! (where are those other photos)?

Please, lets avoid Robert Kennedy, Jr. or any Kennedy for that matter. They have lost all credibility, and I'm a liberal.

This is the same Robert Kennedy who is against offshore windmills as they will ruin his view from the Kennedy compound.

Lauri David is a dish! and from Long Island to boot. She's perfect!

Having studied the life and physical sciences extensively (including their practical applications), I believe the issue of global warming to be "Much Ado About Nothing" – at this point. The linkage between global warming and unending "doom and gloom" scenarios by some groups and (to a larger extent) the media is foppish. It's sexy and titillating discussion, no doubt, but peek under the cover at the science and the majority of people toss it aside to the coffee table.

The Earth has been around far longer than humankind, and ample evidence is present in the geologic and climatologic records that reflect numerous past warming trends - (shockingly) long before humanity's rise to prominence on the Earth (the recent Industrial Age notwithstanding, of course). That being the case, why attempt to manipulate Nature further (as if we could) when no definitive outcomes are certain or even theorized within a majority percentage of likelihood?

The Earth finds its own balance or equilibrium, as witnessed by a series of complex and inter-related cycles (e.g., carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and water). A number of global catastrophes have impacted the Earth since its birth about four billion (ah… that’s billion with a ‘b’) years ago. (As a request, let’s avoid the on-going evolution vs. intelligent design debate for the moment…) The equilibrium is punctuated for a time but always shifts to reassert itself. Le Chatelier's Principle - A system at equilibrium subjected to a stress will adjust to relieve the stress and restore equilibrium.

Personally, my global disaster concerns are focused away from the Earth for mostly two reasons.

The first reason is practical and a little selfish in that (avoiding a socio-moral discussion on humanity) it's not a good idea for humankind to keep all its eggs in one basket (hey, one hit from a 500+ meter-wide extraterrestrial body and you can kiss any concerns about global warming bye-bye).

The second reason is factual where the linkage between global warming and pessimistic climiatogical scenarios remains (admittedly by a majority of scientists) speculative (any weather system is an inherently chaotic system allowing meteorology to predict the weather only a few days in the future), the Earth WILL be impacted again by an extraterrestrial object. The result may be small, causing only local damage (1,000 km radius), which isn’t necessarily so bad as long as you’re outside the radius, or it may be big, resulting in apocalyptic disaster. "Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness, earthquakes, volcanoes, the dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!" – Drs. Raymond Stantz and Peter Venkman.

In summary, the only definitive conclusion of some people's (almost religious) assertions that humanity is the primary cause of global warming is hubris.

otherwise the site looks great!

Why not hold off on that Alaska oil as a safety stash? We can always drill it later when it's more valuable, and when our extractive technologies are safer, more effective and more efficient.
