Global Warming

The Prime Minister of Canada here said that attacking Global Warming is a complicated issue.
The biggest issue is the legalities of our processes.
Businesses and corporations not only have the laws to protect them but more clout and money in their coffers to hire the best lawyers as well as being capable of burying the governemtns in paper work.
Over and over again we see that the governments cannot or will not go head to head against some of our evolved injustices or against corporations. They rightly fear that investments will just go elsewhere. It is corporate blackmail on a Global scale.
Here in Toronto, developers seem to do as they please at the cost of the environments because they have the evolved laws on their side. Examples are the "Oak Ridges Morain", the "Rouge River Valley" and the "Toronto Island Bridge" developments. None of the three levels of governments can stop the ongoing encroachments and destructions of some of our last untouched green spaces or businesses wishes.
There are millionaires and billionaires out there who legally pay their employees less then minimum wage, here in Canada. We keep manufacturing and importing products that are but dust collectors or that last but only a few usages. Because it is legal and it creates work!?
Exxon's pay out of over $600 million to an executive and united Healthcare's pay out of over $1.6 billion to their executive are legal and governments and the people have no legal say or recourse in the matters.
This is North America where our most twisted evolved laws and ways in many other countries would spark or start a revolution. Over here we do nothing and accept it except for a few rants which quietly die out.
Governments with no backbone or clout to do what is best for the health of nature, and its and other people elsewhere, should not be called governments! They are but short sighted 20th century locked in educated visioneless "Economic War" soldiers.
But, like i said before. Governments are but an extension of business that are also run like business and the bottom line (theirs) is the main and only priority.
Wow, could i ever use 1,000 helpers. I am in the process of editing some of my "writtings".
Gerald, pretend "King of Kings"

The myth of Global Warming

I'm a Consruction Engineering student at the American University in Cairo, and I've taken a course about Environmental Engineering and Waste Allocation this year.
One of the things that really need to be looked at in depth is the relaibility of the data that presumably indicate the existence of what is termed as "Global Warming".
An interesting presentation by prof. Dr. Edward Smith showed that the computer models failed to predict the actual changes in temperatures over the past 15 years, and that heat and cold are in some way related to the random solar activity.
So, yes, there is a pollution, but this does not mean necessarily that "global warming" exists.

That is one way to look at things, aymanelhakea.
Here are some alternative views:
United Nations Environment Programme
http://www.unep.org/
Environmental Protection Agency
http://www.epa.gov/
State of the Environment in Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP)
http://www.unescap.org/esd/environment/soe/
There is also a current feature film on the subject in theatres now:
An Inconvenient Truth

J. Sato,
of course I don't deny that the temperature of the Earth has increased over the past 100 years, this is factual.
What I'm trying to bring into attention is that there are different views concerning the cause of this "global warming", that are not necessarily as much dependant on human industrial activities as on other phenomena like changes in the amount of solar radiations. What I am explicitly questioning is the failure of computer models to predict the actual changes in temperature over the past 15 years, and hence, suggesting that the methods used to collect data -that support the theory of global warming caused by industrial emissions- are not reliable any more.

Greenhouse gas emissions is not 100% responsible for the change in climate, and the natural contributing factors make it difficult to evaluate how much climate change is actually due to pollution.
Certain governments and many corporations have done of lot of "creative editing" when dealing with reports of the extent of global warming in the past decade or more. Now, in 2006 environmental scientists and environmentalists agree that human beings are negatively affecting our own climate through the burning of fossil fuels, and release of greenhouse gases into our atmosphere.
