Global Warming?

Solomon Belback: LIES ALL LIES

Brian Freedland: I just found out the other day that warmer weather and temperatures in the Atlantic (caused by Global Warming) help prevent hurricanes. (However, when they do occur, they are much more violent)You could also discuss the CO2 chemicals being released into the air.

Amina Motzer: Geology is a great field of science to enter and has lots of career potential. A! ccording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of science-related jobs will increase at a rate faster than the national average between now and 2016. Environmental scientists, hydrologists and scientists will experience the fastest growth.From a personal perspective, I have found geology to be most rewarding because it is the one field of science that not only involves all the other fields of science (mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics) it also includes business and economics, geography, engineering, and some geologists have even been known to involve philosophy (e.g. Loren Eiseley). I can't answer your question directly about the BS Applied Geology vs. BS Geology. I would probably guess the BS Geology is better, but that depends on the program and the school. It also depends on what country you live in, as these program names do not mean the same thing in all areas of the world. To answer the question you should consider what area of geology appeals to you th! e most. I work in the oil industry and cannot say I have ever ! met anyone with an Applied Geology degree, but most geologists in the oil industry have at least a Master's Degree (and truthfully we don't always make any distinction like that). Some Applied Geology programs seem to be aimed at environmental geology, engineering geology, or other specializations while other schools have separate programs for those and treat the applied geology as a generalist program. Whatever gives you the widest range of class topics is what will give you the widest range of exposure to different things. You've got lots of choices for geology. There is environmental geology, hydro geology, engineering geology, geophysics (often a distinct field) mining geology, petroleum geology, and more. One of my former classmates works in the field of planetary geology and spends her time researching Venus. The pay level is very different for different fields, and the work can be very different. Petroleum and mining geologists and geophysicists are currently the hig! hest paid and are likely to remain in high demand as the work force in both fields is mostly close to retirement, and oil, natural gas, and other natural resources are always going to be in demand. After all, if you can't grow it, you have to mine it....Show more

Ambrose Mumma: You need to do some major research and perhaps when you are done you might save your paper to help light fires to keep your butt warm. Global warming is government propaganda we are actually headed for some major global cooling. The serious problem at hand is global pollution not warming.

Lynn Mctier: The factories and automobiles giving off harmful fumes that help promote global warming.

Emile Midgley: First, it should be noted that there was a big media frenzy in the 70's over global cooling...that could be a story all to itself.However, two topics that no one ever wants to discuss:1) How the temperature data is collected (weather stations....IN CITIES that grow and are hotter tha! n rural areas), and why these methods artificially inflate the global t! emperature.2) the effect of water vapor on 'global warming'....water vapor is a greenhouse gas....it's actually ~3 x's as strong as CO2, but present at 100's of x's that o CO2 in our atmosphere. If the concentration of water vapor in our atmosphere is totally dependent on temperature, a) why would a 30% increase in CO2 affect global temperature? and b) why doesn't water vapor simply induce a chain effect where higher temps lead to higher water vapor concentration, which leads to higher temps and so on....Show more

Matt Gerdeman: As far as focus for the curriculum, careers you can get, etc?Thanks in advance!

Pattie Vold: I would start the essay by quoting a recent interview with Bush on politico.com. He admitted that there was global warming and that was indeed serious.
