I'm not sure if we still have class today with classes after 2pm being canceled. I thought that with no "classroom" that we were probably still still responsible for being hereMurphy44 16:41, 1 February 2008 (EST)

Yes we are. Walkerma 16:41, 1 February 2008 (EST)

• How should we respond to the threat of global warming? (We = humanity, and also we = the people in this class) Remember that we have limited money to spend! So where should we put the bulk of our money - into climate change prevention, or into preparing for the inevitable change. Should we hunker down for the hot weather, and buy a holiday home on high ground near Hudson Bay? Or should we spend our money trying to curb greenhouse gas emissions in order to make the change more controllable?

Excellent, I feel that using all of the worlds resources to prepare for what seems to be the inevitable heat wave is foolish. It is like throwing in the towel, we have created this problem, isn't it our obligation to try to fix as much as we can?Murphy44 16:45, 1 February 2008 (EST)

Furthermore, we have some wonderful technologies that can help to combat things like greenhouse gases, why not use them to our fullest and try to save what we can wile we canMurphy44 16:47, 1 February 2008 (EST)

I guess my last entry didnt go through....I was saying that if immediate prevention and preparation methods are put in place now it will foster economic opportunities. J-Fed 16:48, 1 February 2008 (EST)

This all sounds good but can we really hold off the "inevitable?" Tell us some of the "wonderful technologies." Walkerma 16:49, 1 February 2008 (EST)

I agree, new economic opportunities are out there in the area of developing and implanting green technology. Murphy44 16:51, 1 February 2008 (EST)

Can you give some specific weblinks to specific technologies you could use? Walkerma 16:52, 1 February 2008 (EST)

Technologies such as alternative fuel sources. Fossil fuels are running out rapidly and our dependency upon them will need to as well. The development of these alternative fuel sources such as solar, and wind power will need to be improved and this could result in new economic opportunities.
