The Samsung Gore

The solar thing is cool, less need for a car charger. But walking doesn't save trees. Any wood burning factories around? Nope. Trees need CO2 so they can produce oxygen! Maybe we aren't producing enough CO2....maybe the trees are starving now... Bring on the cow flatulence and SUVs and let's save some trees! (soon to be on a bumper sticker) It's just science. 😁

the idea of a solar-charged phone is absolutely brilliant.

reduced CO2 production is equivalent to increased CO2 uptake, and for the next 200 years we need much more of both. a tree is an excellent symbol to represent and quantify progress toward that goal.

it's associative, not literal.

there may not be any wood-burning prius factories, but there are definitely many wood-fired barbeques and fireplaces, even in irvine.

so please think about it for at least one second longer than a bacterium in the gut of a pork-fed grunt before you splatter us with your combative verbal flatulence.

anyway, bovine flatulence contains methane which is a greenhouse gas much more powerful than CO2.

and al gore is right; he did his homework. th...

dont mean to be all anal retentive on the topic, but cars/trucks/SUV's put out CO, humans exhaust CO2, it makes a differencs to the trees 😛

Sadly, Al Gore is a politician. And as is typical for politicians, he got it all wrong.

The inconvenient truth about Al Gore's movie is that he neglected to include all the facts. Particularly the ones that very clearly indicate that the earth goes through a climate cycle roughly every 1500 years. This climate cycle has been documented and proven repeatedly all over the world, but the "global warming" industry ignores it because it would be bad for their business.

There was a warm period during Roman times and another one during Medieval times. The current "modern" warming started in the late 1800s and will likely continue through the 2200s before the earth starts another moderate cooling.

Human CO2 output has nothing to do with...

It is not often that there is a consensus on a scientific topic, but there is on the topic of global warming. MOST climatologists including ALL from NASA and MIT and Yale agree global warming is being accelerated by mans activity. If you are getting your information from radio talk shows or Fox news or Rush, you are buying into the misinformation from politicians and other liars afraid their SUV's will be taken away.

Nope, I'm getting it from peer-reviewed scientific journals and books written by scientists who are concerned about the political manipulation of science by the "global warming" industry.

There is no proof that man's activities are having any impact on global warming. There's a lot of conjecture and speculation, but there's no proof.

Furthermore, there is a lot of proof that the current warming trend that we are experiencing is part of a natural cycle of warming and cooling that the earth goes through roughly every 1500 years, and that the "trends" that the global warming crowd like to graph are pure coincidence.

You'll notice that the global warming crowd never bothers to go any further back in time than maybe the late 1800...

The NOAA data you've linked is all valid, but incomplete. They're only looking at very recent trends, and those trends just happen to coincide with a proven, global cycle of temperature change that has been going on for at least 12,000 years.

There is no debate that the earth is warming. The debate revolves around *why* the earth is warming.

Some people want to link it to human activity, but there is no proof that it is linked.

There is, however, a tremendous amount of proof that this warming/cooling cycle has been going on for eons... far longer than it is possible for humans to have had any effect on it at all.

Know why Greenland was called Vinland by the Norse who settled there during the Medieval Optimum? Because it was wa...

I still think it would be nice to see a BOOM in the solar & wind industries, bring energy costs DOWN! ! !

You are right! I'll bet most of the doubters on this forum have never seen the inside of a college science classroom.

to have a pedometer in a phone would be extremely useful especially since many persons have their phones with them at all times.

walking and using public transportation greatly reduces car miles. do it several times per week, and tally your miles at the end of the year. you'll see for yourself.

gasoline engine exhaust (typical):
70% nitrogen
15% water vapor
14% CO2
1% CO

accuracy is not a freudian disorder.

I think the big question about this phone is not what it promotes. Sure, it will save the earth, I get it. But did samsung find a way that can make the phone an effective counter measure to that nast patchouli stink that seems to follow most tree huggers and hippies around? And does the phone only come loaded with Phish ringtones? And I will also assume that this phone will have internet acces due to the fact Mr Gore invented the internet.
