[Global Warming]

Test Your Understanding of Global Warming.

The EPA has a pretty cool quiz on global warming that incorporates its own data into each question. For example:
Question 4: If warming forces trees to migrate, what kind of trees will have the best chance of survival?
  • Tall trees with thick trunks
  • Trees whose seeds are carried by the wind
  • Nut-bearing trees
  • Trees whose seeds are spread by birds
Hint: The Forests page has the answer.
It's a nice guide through the expected effects of global warming. Take it here.

Religious ignorance is contributing to global warming. Adherence to the notion that God would never permit anything that He doesn't want to happen licenses everyone from the hack-n-slashers themselves to CEOs and the likes of Bush himself to incinerate whatever is "profitable" to do so. I suppose God didn't care to keep all His forests, species, and bodies of water that have been utterly eradicated by irresponsible exploitation in the last couple hundred years. The belief essentially means that there is no such thing as irresponsible exploitation. If one can do it, then God must want it! --Hhmmm. Does this apply to the destruction of people and property too? ...Ah, now I get it! Bush and Hitler are on the same page: "Gott ist mit uns!"
