I haven’t said otherwise. Supposedly global warming takes places because the greenhouse gases that humans put into the sky prevents solar heat from returning to outer space. But, this doesn’t explain how and why the last ice age ended. According to Velikovsky part of the heat on Venus...

Burning something is simply releasing the solar energy that nature has stored on earth. It does not lead to a net increase in energy.

Carbon emission rates will not continue to rise if we were engage in 1970s-style conservation efforts while increasing our reliance on non-fossil fuel alternatives. We could deal with the atmosphere’s existing carbon levels by planting more trees. Something like Kyoto need not be our only...

How does any of this relate to something as complicated as the earth? Scientists believe that the earth has had at least one ice age and that this ice age ended when the human population was very small and there was no industry to produce greenhouse gases. So why should greenhouse gases...

I’m not saying the impact would be immediate or that these policies would be a cure-all. But they would certainly beat something like Kyoto. China is exempt from Kyoto and India may be as well. Thus Kyoto’s real goal is to hamper the economies of the Western World, namely the U.S...

Organic farming does not automatically lead to greater production costs. I spend less on my home garden now using organic methods than I did using agro-chemicals without having any net loss in production. The ultimate goal of any organic farm should be to establish a self-sustaining...

It’s just as much a matter of economic efficiency as it is energy efficiency. If a farm uses biodiesel that is made from crops grown on the farm itself, the farm may be more economically efficient, i.e., more profitable, than it would be if it used petroleum. Also consider that it would be...

About a year or so ago I read that something like 25% of all fruits and vegetables grown in the U.S. never make it to the table because they are either not picked when they should be or are damaged or allowed to rot during storage or transport. As far as nutrition goes you are better off...

I've never seen such a claim (apart from that book that was published a while ago comparing Asians, whites and blacks); I doubt that it can be backed up with any kind of empirical evidence.

Prove it. There have been many studies that show that organic farming can be as productive as conventional means if not more so. There is no reason to automatically assume that organic farming will mean higher food costs. Quite often organic farming methods are less costly than conventional...

How so? Conventional farming is highly energy intensive due to the machinery that is used. But, many organic growers make a point of avoiding petroleum-based fuels in favor of wind, solar and other alternatives. How so? Organic waste materials are going to put carbon-dioxide into the...

In my part of Florida we have several private schools that have an all-black faculty and all-black student body. However, I know of no private school that is all white as far as Christian academies go, although the more expensive private schools may be mostly, if not all, white.

What bigot told you this?

So to do suburban school populations that attend Christian academies.

Being arthritic (so typing is difficult) and pressed for time (so a proper edit was impossible) has nothing to do with vouchers.

Would any of these things help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and thus work towards reversing global warming? 1. Adoption of organic farming on a commercial scale by having the government at all levels mandate that a certain percentage of the foodstuffs and fiber purchased for the military...

I have taught at several Christian academies here in Florida, both non-profit and for-profit. You couldn’t pay me to put a kid in such a school. Florida has a taxpayer supported scholarship program for anyone who has spent at least a year in public school and has been labeled as learning...
