This show started with a scene where Dr. Louis Guillette is riding a boat looking for alligators in the night. He started on his research on effects of endocrine disruptors when he saw changes in reproductive system of alligators. He thinks that we could extrapolate the effects of endocrine disruptors on humans by studying wildlife. At a certain level I agree with Dr. Guillette about studying wildlife regarding effects since animal testing is an integral tool of experimentation on the effects of chemicals on our physiology. He found a visible sign of endocrine disruption in affected alligators as the penis length was shorter than those which have not be affected.

Isn’t that the million dollar question? I have no idea how to decisively prove to any global warming critic, that green house gases build-up in the atmosphere is bad. Both sides have compelling data disputing claims of each other. Science has not been able to ascertain positively the effects of the gases on world climate. To assert this dichotomy, here is an op-ed by Dr. Lindzen (prof, MIT Atmospheric Science) disputing global warming, and a summary by Dr. Hansen (NASA) claiming that the case on global warming has been closed, and green house gases are the culprits.
Here is my question: Has anyone ever run climate prediction simulations with elevated and normal green house gas levels in the atmosphere?
The reason for this inquiry is that climate modeling has become very sophisticated, and I know for a fact that several projects are running on super computing grids all over the world. The most famous of the climate predication projects is happening in Japan, with NEC’s Earth Simulator. So far, I am yet to find an answer to my query..

People can be convicted of murder on the basis of overwhelming circumstantial evidence, as the public has been reminded recently. The same is true of three odious, though not odorous, “greenhouse gases”, which have been observed lurking in the Earth’s atm

These monstrous fuel guzzling, environmental hazards should be banned. They should NOT be sold because they have no reason to be on the roads for normal people to drive. They were made for military use, and not consumer use for a reason. Due to poor fuel economy, I hope when the gas prices soar, they reduce in sales..

This goes well with the previous post. They are setting good examples and practicing what they are preaching.

Those environmentalists can be such pests. I don’t know if that approach would really work apart from annoying the SUV owners but maybe that’s their goal. Something has to be done about people buying SUVs for urban roads. What a colossal waste of fuel!

Inventor: Dead cat fuel story is dead wrong | CNET News.com
How many of you had heard about the German who could create bio fuel using dead cats. Sounds like he doesn’t use dead cats after all. So PETA can stay calm.
