What type of fuel is ethanol?
Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) is a fuel made by fermentation or the substitution of ethylene. It is described as a "biofuel" by proponents when it is made from corn, grain, sugar or cellulose, it can also be made by industrial process as a by-product or major product.
Can you completely stop global warming?
No, global warming is a natural phenomenon that has been occurring for thousands of years and even if humans were to reduce their production of greenhouse gases, there would be no significant change in the historical warming trend. Since the suggestion of climate being changed by man has been largely discredited by scientists, the true global problem of our dwindling energy resources has arisen as the true and scientifically verifiable concern. After Climategate and the revelation that the climate models used by proponents of man-made global warming are inaccurate and overly pessimistic, we now have a more rational understanding of the effects and extent of climate change (see scientific papers such as "Enhanced Turbulence and Energy Dissipation at Ocean Fronts" by D'Asaro et al in the peer reviewed journal Science, which describe how warming was overestimated ignoring the urban heating effects on sensor distribution). Environmentalism has taken a serious blow in credibility, but since we now have better data available, the good news is that the Earth is in far better shape that a few were proposing and people need not live in fear. Still, we should be mindful of our local environment and protect what resources we have from pollution.For further reading on how climate change is natural, the following sources are helpful:Temperature changes occur 1000 years before changes in CO21) Stott, L., Timmermann, A., Thunnell, R., 2007, Southern Hemisphere and Deep-Sea Warming Led Deglacial Atmospheric CO2 Rise and Tropical Warming.

Are people against global warming?
Pragmatic people do. Also climate scientists, scientists in general, and for that matter most of the general public. Even in the US, the one industrial nation which has the lowest rate of acceptance of general scientific findings for some odd reason, about 70% are currently convinced global warming is real.
What will happen if the greenhouse effect continues?
The climate is always changing, but the effects of anthropomorphic gases will accelerate some changes. About 19% of the world's glacial ice is located above Greenland. As the temperature increases, this ice is likely to slough into the Atlantic, raising the world's oceans about 20 feet. I once read that about half of earth's human population lives within 20 feet of sea level. What happens next is more difficult to guess. The extra surface area available for evaporation could create more cloud cover, reflecting light to ultimately cool the earth again. All the fresh water might turn off the north Atlantic conveyor, which would also likely contribute to cooling. Whatever the effects, they will be long term. Soot from coal fired plants increases earth's albedo, increasing the temperature. However, soot settles out within a single year. CO2 emissions linger about a thousand years, so the effects we are accumulating now will last for many generations.
Do the experts exaggerate global warming?
No. The risk is that by trying to hard too avoid criticism, scientific experts are failing in their duty to inform us fully of the facts and potential consequences of global warming. It is really because of the debate generated by non-experts who would deny some of the consequences of global warming, that some gain the impression that the 'middle ground' is in the middle - hence that the experts must be in some way exaggerating. A: It could be that those scientists are prostituting their professional integrity to continue receiving funding from proponents of a One World Government that hopes to gain political control by manufacturing the global warming crisis. Thirty years ago, the same groups were warning us of the coming ice age.

Who are the proponents of social exchange theory?
Some proponents of social exchange theory include Peter Blau and Richard Emerson. Blau's work focused on the dynamics of social exchange within formal organizations, while Emerson emphasized the importance of interdependence in relationships. Both scholars contributed to the development and popularization of social exchange theory in sociology.

Some successful proponents of psychology include Sigmund Freud, known for his work on psychoanalytic theory; B.F. Skinner, who developed behaviorism; Carl Rogers, a key figure in humanistic psychology; and Jean Piaget, who revolutionized the field of developmental psychology. These psychologists made significant contributions to understanding human behavior and mental processes.

The proponents of structuralism?
The proponents of structuralism, such as Claude Levi-Strauss and Ferdinand de Saussure, focused on analyzing underlying structures that shape human experiences, language, and culture. They believed that these structures could be uncovered through systematic study of patterns and relationships within different phenomena. Structuralism had a significant impact on fields like linguistics, anthropology, and literary theory.
