We are having Global Warming. We know we are by the fact that the Earth experienced..."COOLING". We have referred to that experience as the "ICE AGE". Where I disagree is....Mankind didn't cause Global Cooling...ergo...Mankind can't stop Global Warming. Face the fact....the Earth is simply going back to normal and the warming process is speeding up because the melting process is speeding up... the less ice we have the warmer it gets.

Today I was doing a recap of the last ten years of my life and what I learned in school. It was very hard for me to remember. To be honest I learned more from TV like the Discovery and History chanell oh and PBS. I put a post on my face book that said what every happend to Bill Nye? Oh man the comments kept on a comming. It was great! And then my friend Louis Broome informed me that my dear friend Jenny his wife worked with you and theirfore he sent me to this site. I and many from Arlington Texas miss you so very much. I would love to see you agian. You made a huge inpact on me and my desire to want to learn about what is around us. Have a creative journey through life Bill. We love you down here in Texas! Love Always, Julie Lynn Thomas Bill,

In summer there could be pull-down, white (maybe even glossy) window shades mounted on the *outside* of house windows,.... facing in all directions (except north). Mounting these shades outside first floor windows might give way to theft issues [of the shades], (but upper floors would work well) or spend extra money for a small motor to raise and lower the shades (especially on windows that can not be opened). They would need to be made of fairly heavy material ---> to 'hold up to' weathering and wind (or have something attached to the shades,....holding them in place from the bottom)... open the window and pull down the shade and attach it to the house to hold it in place. A 'stick on' white, glossy, fairly thin material, would also work OK (even if it was stuck-on the panes of glass on the *inside* of the window pane). In winter (for use on sunny days) people could install pull-down blinds (or 'shades') that could be purchased in a black, absorbent color, with felt like texture. These should be set back from the windows maybe 3-5 inches allowing the heated air to be saved / and to allow for upward flow, of the heated air, near the window (inside the room). Another more difficult option is to put a black surface on the floor covering the whole area to be exposed to the sunlight during the course of the day. This black material (to be used inside the house) should be made from naturally dyed, non toxic materials, such as felt or some other naturally derived material so as not to give way to off-gassing of bad molecules, excited into the room's air.......caused by the sunlight that it would be subjected to all day long. ================================================================= Note for Bill: Bill; I truly admire your dedication to science and I respect your depth of knowledge. I graduated with a degree in science education (from Oswego State College in New York State). Like you, I admire and thank some of my science teachers (especially from high school --> ie. Harold Whitebread). I taped almost all of your Science Guy programs years ago (when I was teaching in New York State). Now I teach in China. I learned that you have been to Beijing. Welcome back to China and you are welcome in my classroom anytime.
