What are you doing to save the planet ?

I have a grade 12 education and I watch alot of star wars ...........does that count ?

Hear, read it and weep. And, leave the science to real scientists.

The frequency of electromagnetic waves propagating in a magnetoplasma is sufficiently high that the ion motion may be neglected compared with the electron motion. The present analysis extended Dougherty (Dougherty, J. P., 1963, J. Fluid Mech. 16, 126; Dougherty, J. P., 1964, Phys, Fluids, 7, 1788) to include the simultaneous effect on wave propagation of Coulomb forces, spatial dispersion and energy-dependent electron-neutral collisions, where one or more of these effects could have a significant influence on circularly polarized waves propagating at frequencies near electron cyclotron resonance. The electrical conductivity tensor was expressible in terms of appropriate velocity moments of the electron distribution function. The electron velocity distribution function was determined by expanding the inverse of the differential operator of the linearized kinetic equation in a small parameter epsilon /sub 2/, where in one case epsilon /sub 2/ w as the ratio of Coulomb collision frequency to signal frequency, and in the second case epsilon /sub 2/ was the ratio of electron- neutral collision frequency to signal frequency. For wave propagation along the magnetic field, the dispersion relation for longitudinal waves were solved numerically, and graphs were presented to show the effects of collisionless damping, velocity dependent electron-neutral collisions and Coulomb collisions.

Why do some see wanting a healthier environment as a lefty hippie concept and reject the notion only because they are conservatives?
Conservatives can also love nature and work at making the world better for their children. In the long run it also makes financial sense to reduce, reuse and recycle so this should appeal to them as well.

 

[shakenbake]

See its a trick question it can go either way

Perhaps, your thread should go away, then.

On the Ignore list for your TERB handle, as I have no time to waste on your verbal diarrhea.

Do you know what any of that means what you just copied ? I was going to say astroid and it sounds like you are producing a recipe for some unknown device

i can see why you would ignore me

Most of it, yes, I understand it. That is because I got my science training with a Ph.D. in Applied Science and Engineering (double major) and NOT just by watching Star Trek or any other Sci Fi bullshit for 'facts'.

But, what in heaven's name does neutron-electron collisions have to do with 'saving the world' when these processes are happening at a sub-atomic level and you really need high energy physics to accomplish them?

A word of advice to you; there are very many educated scientists on TERB. So, stick to talking about what you know and don't try to bullshit your way through a discussion.

It sucks(literally) when u don't have a degree

Agreed 100 %. However, there are some who don't see it that way, both conservatives and liberals. These are individuals who don't see the need to keep the environment clean. I would NEVER swim in their pools. It would be like swimming in their toilets. They are really dinosaurs who need to become extinct for the betterment of the world and of the human race.

 

[shakenbake]

not sure an Environmental Engineer would agree and they would have much proof to support their arguments.

The environmental engineer would presumably have facts to back their opinions and be somewhat more credible, at first glance. It is really the way that the two groups present the opinions and facts. That is not to say that the 'hippies' aren't doing a good service to society. And, the engineers should consider what the 'hippies' are saying and support them wherever possible.

No, it only sucks when you mutter incomprehensible things and don't use the brain that the Creator gave to you. And, once an for all, I am truly done with you. Your mutterings and random noises are not worth my time.

ROTFLMAO!!!

Best answer yet!

There are two kinds of people in this world one that think they can buy there way out of a paper bag full of shit and one that takes the shit .........

please tell me why a PHD (double major) has not one solution to saving energy and reducing the pollution

You seem to beat around the BUSH

 

[Spanglerdoo]

Let me give you something to ponder on

If you destroy the darwin theory is there room for existence ?

The greatest problem facing mother earth right now is an excess of oxygen. All that pure H2O makes people giddy, thus causing poor decision-making. To counter this, I bought 4 diesel-powered generators which I keep running 24/7 in my backyard - not hooked up to anything - in order to help, in a small way, rid the planet of all that extra oxygen.

Just like to point out that the chemical formula for oxygen is O2 not H2O. H2O is dihydrogen oxide... more commonly known as water.

 

[Moraff]

Why would I possibly want to go live on a farm when the farmers are in a crisis ?

I rather stick to loblaws organic food section ,keep my organs ,buy a hybrid use my recycable bags,buy only material thats enviromentaly friendly , and never put a bumper sticker on my vehichle that says "honk if your horny "

Hate to break it to ya, but in buying your hybrid you're not "buying only material that's environmentally friendly"

 

[genintoronto]

I'm already making the world a better place, one orgasm at a time. Now you want me to recycle too? Geez.

 

[Viggo Rasmussen]

Recycling is okay, but don't reduce your menu or reuse condoms, Gen.

I will blame this grade 3 knowledge-level transgression on an excess of Hordeum vulgare subsp., Humulus lupulus, and Saccharomyces cerevisae diluted heavily with dihydrogen oxide and consumed to excess during NO vs IN, last night.

Oh i'm afraid thats the problem the ice keeps breaking from high levels of co2 the hybrid only cuts that number in half .....a bi(cycle) is the way to go ...that might sound to extreme and yet some would say the only way to balance out the damage that is done .

I think that you can get all wet with that one! Too much of this sort of stuff and you end up with water in the brain IMHO.
