I am surprised that there is not more positive reaction to the concept of global warming.  It makes me wonder if the concept is so fully approved in the scientific world as some would have one believe? What do you think?  Is the concept as fully approved in the scientific world as it is heralded? Or is that some more propaganda?  Some reaction from those who have a positive concept would be appreciated!  Thanks for comments.  Joe L. Ogan

As I see it, birth control is being practiced by better educated and more intelligent women.  That will lead to lower intelligence of the nation in the not too distant future.  To be effective, birth control must be universal.  That would help some.  Thanks for comments, Joe L. Ogan

OK, gentlemen, you have made your points. So, what should we do? Disregard the subject completely?  Wait and see if the situation is going to get worse? Take limited action to correct the situation? Take immediate action to correct the situation as much as possible.?  Some other suggestion that you think is both possible and that will correct the situation?  Thanks for your comments.  Joe L. Ogan

All I can say is that, if I am ever in trouble, I want to have Alan explain what I did and why I did it.  Thanks for comments . and regards, Joe L. Ogan

I have not been aware of any lying, cheating or bullying to get people to believe in global warning.  Do you have any credible evidence to support your statement?  Thanks for your comments.  Joe L. Ogan

Thank you both for your opinions.  What if the situation gets worse? Much worse, very much worse?  I am convinced that the status quo will not remain the same.  I would be interested in hearing some suggestions to solve the problem before it gets worse!  Thanks for your help!  Joe L. Ogan

The problem is not fully understood, therefore how can a correct solution be found other than by luck.

How do we know its going to get worse? My crystal ball is on the fritz.. is yours working?

The biggest question remains.. IS there a problem? and those that started us on this road of confusion proved to be liars and charlatans, with 'peer' reviewed gospel that may yet be true, but has been severely undermined by the lying, cheating and bullying that went on to 'prove' their point.

Are we past the point of no return on Global Warming?  I believe that we are past the point of no return on Global Warming.  It would require drastic action on the part of all nations to stop it.  In my opinion, we would have to stop burning coal, stop burning jungles just to clear the land, stop all motor traffic and especially stop all Jet aircraft action.  How long will this take?  I estimate that it will be about 100 years more ore less.  What do you think?  I would really appreciate hearing your opinion on this topic.  Regards, Joe L. Ogan

Do you believe then that people are wasting their time in trying to devise a system whereby they can use radiant energy as a means of electricity for general use?  Thanks for comments.  Joe L. Ogan

Is electricity in space the same as radiant energy?  If it is we already use radiant energy in certain things such as heating water, heating the house etc.  But we have no direct connection to use it as an electrical source.  Is this possible?  Just because it has not been done as yet doesn't mean that it is impossible.  It just means that we have not discovered a way to use it as yet.  Thanks for comments.  Joe L. Ogan

Does anyone here feel qualified to discuss electricity in space.  We know that it exists but we do not know very much about it.  I find the subject very intriguing but I know very little about it.  Thanks for comments.  Joe L. Ogan

Well, I remember reading that light had been stopped in frozen sodium, I believe.   I tried to show the URL but was unsuccessful.  Thanks for comments.  Joe L. Ogan

Well, it does vary in several respects.  In one case light was stopped completely.  Thanks for comments.  Joe L. Ogan

In the Equation E=MC2 was the speed of light selected because it is a large constant and really has nothing to do with the energy in a given mass?  Thanks for comments.  Joe L. Ogan
