StephBerryman Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Since Hurricane Rita is now Category 5, i hope everyone on this board who lives and/or has family and friends that live in Texas and Louisianna will evacuate in time and stay safe. It's all so scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambergris Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Damn is too weird... Hurricanes, Typhoons and Tsunamis have never been so common. Don't want to speculate about its relation with global temperature change but is too obvious we've been modifying delicate balance in nature with maybe really big and terrible consequences we don't understand, maybe this is a signal...

Ambergris Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Yeah, even is more concerning how any big global action to make something about it has failed just because some developed countries like the U.S. always put their own interests first. Btw is a very complex problem, political always comes into play. With developing countries as China, India or Mexico the thing is differnet, they need hydrocarbons to keep growing. They don't see any utilities in reducing its industrial emissions so they deny to do it... then the U.S. goverment think its unffair so neither so it. We actually end up without any advance. WE NEED GLOBAL ACTIONS, just many people don't seem to care even a bit. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best u Can Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 It would be nice if people in America cared about the environment. All we care about is prices. But in some gas stations where I live they're starting to use Ethanol, which is now cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm NOT advocating for us to not take responsibility for our environment, but well, we are due for an ice age that's supposed to hit the earth about once every 10,000 years and maybe this kind of climate instability is part of the shift towards it? On the other hand, the Ocean and Climate Change Institute has attributed this increase in hurricane frequency and intensity to soaring temperatures around the world http://www.whoi.edu/institutes/occi/currenttopics/abruptclimate_curryr.html.
