Whats your carbon footprint?

42 for a family of 3 but that is mainly because DH has such a long commute back and fourth to work.

The company he was working for went out of business last year...now he has to drive 120 miles round trip every day into the city to work....it's not good but you do what you got to do to survive.

863....is that bad?

I don't believe most of the stuff the media and Hollywood put out. It's important to do our own research and, with the internet, it's easy to do.

We recycle what we can and live economically. As far as being concerned how much methane a cow puts out...

If you've seen a picture of Al Gore lately, he's certainly not living on a vegetarian diet.

I would recommend looking up http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/globalwarming.html as a start. I would be much more comfortable taking the words of scientists that actually study it than the words of a couple of spokesmen for former republicans on that committee. I agree that gathering information is good, as long as it is science based and not strictly political stalling.

Scientists?

Washington DC - One of the most decorated French geophysicists has converted from a believer in manmade catastrophic global warming to a climate skeptic. This latest defector from the global warming camp caps a year in which numerous scientific studies have bolstered the claims of climate skeptics.

60 Scientists Debunk Global Warming Fears

Earlier this year, a group of prominent scientists came forward to question the so-called “consensus” that the Earth faces a “climate emergency.” On April 6, 2006, 60 scientists wrote a letter to the Canadian Prime Minister asserting that the science is deteriorating from underneath global warming alarmists.

“Observational evidence does not support today's computer climate models, so there is little reason to trust model predictions of the future…Significant [scientific] advances have been made since the [Kyoto] protocol was created, many of which are taking us away from a concern about increasing greenhouse gases. If, back in the mid-1990s, we knew what we know today about climate, Kyoto would almost certainly not exist, because we would have concluded it was not necessary,” the 60 scientists wrote

Not sure if I buy into such short questionares with resulting numbers. Like 10 question IQ tests.

On a side note. I had a professor in physics so old once, he said when he was a kid, they were being told of fears of "global cooling". LOL
