  • why do so many of you like to come here and ask loaded questions on both sides of the issue?

    for the warmers. do you actually know anything about the greenhouse effect? Al Gore did not discover it. we have known about it for hundreds of years. we know more now. do any of you man or woman up, and forego any consumption of energy that is not necessary? the guy over there texting should really turn it off. do you understand that your standard of living and your access to sites like this depends absolutely on the amount of energy that you have at your disposal? that is a proven fact. more energy=better living standard. what will you give up? picture yourself living in a skin tent or mud hut during the cold season, shivering. most of our energy comes from carbon based fossil fuels. they keep you warm. think about paying every cent you make for heat and food. no more cell phones, nice clothes, or trips to the mall. you are POOR.

    for the anti-warmers. are you so sure you are right? earth has definitely gone from hothouse to iceball and back without our help. is this one the same? prove it. will it hurt you so much that you will do nothing to reduce your carbon footprint? try it some time. you will save a ton of cash. i am. walk into mcdonalds once, instead of waiting in an eight car line in the drive thru. you can usually get out faster, and your engine is not idling the whole time(if there is a bus in the lot, go to BK. U R doomed).

    for both sides. have any of you done the slightest bit of research to support your side? or do you merely parrot what somebody else says? I'm not talking about infrared sources and tanks of CO2. how about looking into alternate energy sources and the effect of various greenhouse gases. Wikipedia is just dying for you to look through their files. are you willing to pay the price, if the other side turns out to be right?

    if this sounds like a rant, it is. both sides of the issue have been cherry picking data, using emotional arguments, and not proposing solutions for years now. there are economic reasons to not emit carbon and there are also economic reasons to continue using carbon based fuels. each of us has to decide for him(her)self.

  • baking soda for the organic chem experts?

    baking soda is supposed to absorb odors. there is no real physical reason for baking soda to do that. it hasn't got a lot of pores like activated carbon. nothing special about surface charges. the solution, if there really is one, must be some kind of chem reaction.

    is there a real chemical reason for baking soda to absorb odors and what might it be?
