What have you done to reduce your family's carbon foot print?
And how much have you reduced it?

15 AnswersGlobal Warming1 decade agoHow does carbon sequestration using hydrogen sulfide work?
I assume this would take one heck of a lot of hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide is quite toxic, so how safe would the process be? What would be the potential environmental side effects of the process? Isn't H2S a significant greenhouse gas all by itself? How would we produce enough hydrogen sulfide to make a dent in global warming this way?
5 AnswersGlobal Warming1 decade agoCould offshore wind turbines provide 100% of our electrical power?
Are there any reasons why that might not be a good idea? What barriers stand in the way of implementing a plan like that? What can we do to make it happen?

3 AnswersEnvironment1 decade agoWhy does Fox News post irresponsible stories like "The Greenhouse Myth"?
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,192544,00.html . T Steven Milloy makes the absurd claim that "The notion that our atmosphere acts like a greenhouse – that is, so-called atmospheric “greenhouse gases,” like water vapor and CO2, “trap” incoming solar radiation to warm the atmosphere – is wrong. Not only doesn’t the atmosphere work that way, greenhouses don’t either."
That is just plain wrong. Why would Fox News publish something like that? It is blatantly wrong. Greenhouses work exactly that way. Milloy goes on to claim that the only way greenhouses retain heat is by preventing convection. While it is true that convection is important, radiation is just as important. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_greenhouse_%28t...
The article is a blatant lie, but my question is why? Does Milloy think his conservative readers are so stupid that they will not recognize how absurd his claims are? Is he right?
