What about all that toxic mercury you're going to be sending to the landfill when those compact fluorescents burn out?

I dont know sense they have been burning fine close to 2 years now.

What about all the Every Retail store that use's Fluorescents have you ask them the same question?

What would you have us do?

I would suggest you do anything that you feel is in the best interest of future generations.

They pay a lot of $$$ for recycling, and they have to report "mercury spills" to hazmat teams (read:broken lamps) (whether or not they ACTUALLY do is another thing).  Are you prepared to do this, or will you just let em go to the landfill when they die?  Which part of "OUR" environment are "YOU" willing to protect?  What about all the OTHER fluorescent lamps?  WHO WILL TURN THEM IN?????  Compact fluorescent Lamps can only be trusted in the hands of responsible people which, if you go by todays gun laws, are nobody.  I think you might not know how to responsibly handle the great burden that IS compact florescent lamps.  Go incandescent, if it saves only one life, isn't it worth it?????????

There aren't actually many solid answers in here. Is it safe to say we've identified a problem but have no idea how to correct it?

The one fact we have is that the earth's temperature has gone up 3/4 of ONE degree in the last century, and this apparently causes pacific islands to founder, and the polar ice caps to melt.

“I have no doubt that global — that a trend of global warming exists,” NASA Administrator Michael Griffin said in a taped interview that aired Thursday on National Public Radio. “I am not sure that it is fair to say that is a problem we must wrestle with.”

“I guess I would ask which human beings, where and when, are to be accorded the privilege of deciding that this particular climate that we have right here today, right now, is the best climate for all other human beings. I think that’s a rather arrogant position for people to take,” Griffin said.

Something has to be done about the reliance on oil, and it has to start today especially if the proponents of peak oil are correct and there is only a 5 to 10 year supply left. Chasing oil wells around the globe to try to get to ever more difficult and costly fields is not going to stave off the ineviatable.  One of the smarter things to come out of the CNN republican debate was the idea that renewable energy should be the new Apollo program of this century - but that project should be started now while industry has the capability.

It might be possible that neither the answers nor even a proper description of the problem will be here, in the O Club of the Aces High BBS.  Unlikely, I admit, given the vast extent of scientific knowledge that is present here.

But at least we can be sure of one thing.  The objective scientific reality of the matter is no doubt closely tied to party affiliation.  That being the case, I would recommend the next best source of information: politicians.  Such as Al Gore and Jerry Falwell.  You might have to wait for the Rapture, but unfortunately the Lake of Fire is gonna throw off our current data a bit.

ahem: 3/4 of ONE degree over 100 years......they can't even decide what portion of said 3/4 degree can be attributed to us gas guzzlers

Looks like Griffin = Lucifer.

Haven't you seen the infamous swindle documentary?  You don't need the actual knowledge itself, because it is all contained therein.  You just need to recognise that it is the ultimate authority on the subject.

Well, if we haven't found a concrete solution to the problem is it possible we haven't ironed out a concrete source?

Why would you want to run away, after making such a brilliant and incisive statement as that?
