How much impact does waste heat have on global warming? Almost every piece of machinery we run produces heat, either by design or as a waste product. All of that heat getting pumped into the atmosphere must make a difference. Has anyone measured how much it is relative to greenhouse gases?

What is all that white stuff in the middle of the Florida panhandle? At map click satellite view. http://mapq.st/gNi88C What would have to be "searched nearby" to reveal the industry. It must be simple like, sand, salt, or borax. Rail and road transportation for the "product", are not obvious.

What will our landfill contents be like after they've been buried for a million or more years? I wonder what effect geological processes would have on everyday items – if a geologist were to dig into the remains of one of our landfills say, a million years in the future, would anything be recognizable? Would glass survive? What would everything else have turned into?

Why does snow form a 'crystal structure' round electricity pylons? Whilst walking in the snow i noticed that around electricy pylons the snow had formed a spiky texture similar to that of some cystal structures, all pointing in the direction of the pylons. Is this to do with magnetic attraction of the polar water molecules or something more comlex than my simple chemsitry can explain? Thanks
