Peeps say scientists are wrong by stating they were wrong 600 years ago as well...

I'm sure everyone of you have your own opinions on Global Warming. I'm not going to go out and tell the world my opinion, mainly because I don't have one! But even if I were against the scientists saying that it was real, I wouldn't go out and make a fool of myself and say that scientists were wrong when they said that the world was flat... which they failed to mention was stated over 600 years ago!

Uh, not cool. Indiana will allow BP to pollute Lake Michigan every day.

Yes, that's right. Indiana state is now going to allow major gas company BP to pollute Lake Michigan with 4,925 pounds of "sludge" and 1,584 pounds of ammonia in the lake---EVERY DAY! This isn't very good, as you could guess, not only because pollution isn't something our world needs right now, but the very fact that ammonia can also casue serious health problems doesn't make it very pleasing to know that BP is dumping 1,584 pounds of that crap in the lake every day.

I just went to calculator.org to see how much ammonia they would be dumping in the lake every year - That would be 578,160 pounds of it. How much "sludge" are they dumping in the lake? 1,797,625 pounds of it. Yes, seven digits, over one million pounds....

After doing some research, I found out that Lake Michigan is the largest freshwater lake in America. Not only that, but some 12 million plus people live around the lake, and major cities such as Chicago are situated right next to it...

Oh yeh, and a lot of drinking water comes from the lake. >_<
