From converting your lawn mower to solar power to brewing your own biofuel, there are plenty of steps the more industrious green citizen can take beyond recycling and CF bulbs. Get started below.
Larry, I will not argue that anything you have just stated is false. It was rather enlightening to read your response. I am glad to finally see such a detailed view from this side of the issue. I do, however, have a few questions: The people you have noted to be skeptics are at this point merely as stated: "skeptics." So, since "man-made global climate change" has not been totally debunked yet, why not respond with solutions? Sometimes it's not a bad idea to respond to an apparent problem attentively. What's the problem with this "green" trend? (I do agree that it has become a trend). Going "green" in most cases can save people lots of money on daily expenses (such as gasoline). Also, maybe the world needs an excuse to transition away from petroleum fuels... The price at the pump will argue that we're running a bit low. Finally, I would like to see the scientific fact that has turned these scientists away from the "man-made global climate change" crowd. I am not trying to be rhetorical in any way. If you could respond to this with links to their research, I would appreciate it. ...although, I don't think the world is ready to just forget about such a thing. Thanks for your response Larry, Jake Staahl
