global warning is a far greater problem than the ice age because of the speed it is developing, before animals could survive as it was pregressional, evolve slightly and we got used to it as it wasn't a dramatci change. gloabal warming will not work as the ice age did, the ice age was a cyclic event which happens very slowly global warming will change this earth in less than 50 years. that is why it is such a huge problem and can not just be said to be "one of those things".

ShunNakamura - america may have a larger population and so more enegery demands but it also has more land space, more money and better technology and investment for such things. it would just need to be done on a bigger scale for a bigger nation.

i skimmed through this thread again and noticed someone claiming coal power releases more radiation than nuclear power. the burning of hyderocarbons produces 3 things energy, carbon and water. neither of which (carbon can become radioactive in various isotopes but such ones are rare)

what america is doing right now instead of walking past the begger on the street and not saying anything, he is now stopping and giving him a good quick kicks in the face, stealing his money and spitting on him for being a dirty old begger. find some charity in your god forsaken souls and country and stop suffering from short arms and deep pockets and do something for the good of mankind and this planet for once.
First of all cloud No.9 your immature get out of this discussion now is my advice.First of all how the hell are you gonna stereotype a country and its inhabitants?I'm not fat but im american and im not stupid.Argue over the enviroment not a "bash on americans because I'm british".I hate people like that and they are ignorant fools who really can't debate on it,but can show a lot of passion.I means thats like me blaming the UK because the industrial revolution started there.Please refrain from bashing a country because even though america does emit the most polution doesnt mean every part of the country is polluted or doesnt mean its our fault.All 1st world countries have to accept responsibility.If anything you need to be blaming OPEC.Do you know what they do?They inflate the market and get as much cash out of it as possible.Its very very expensive for a company that was in natural resources to start getting into alternative fuel.Why you ask? Because in America and in a lot of other countries people have this mentallity of getting something thats cheaper.When alternative fuels first start off its gonna be very expensive and next to no one will buy into it.Alternative fuels is too risky of a investment.Companies who do it as you can see how gas prices has risen well i think these oil companies are gonna use there extra cash to invest a little bit into alternative fuels. But right now investing in alternative fuels is very risky.Mainly because of how the World Market operates.
