I Care About The Environment

Global Warming and Climate change is a real issue which should be addressed. The crux of the problem is it is considered as a myth by some people. The first step to solving this problem is to accept that climate change is a problem. Once accepted as a problem, our miseries would ease somewhat. There is experimental evidence on global warming and climate change. A few of them rising sea levels, floods, fires, more hurricanes. Aren't they happening already?
There are very clear indicators of climate change and it warns us that sitiuation may become more threatening in the near future.
We should start caring for the earth.

Any problems involved with global warming will fade out of significance when we run out of fossil fuels. Here's hoping we can discover enough renewable energy sources before that happens...

@walabby we already have,, we just dont use them, the Petro Industry will not let go untill they have run out of petro to sell

@Amylynne What are they?

@walabby
We wont get off petro all at once or fast BUT
first, we convert everything to be run on electricity, then use diversified sourcing. Part of the world has wind, much has solar, in my area we have a lot of hydro and geothermal, there are even biologic sources. Farmers, that create certain crops can convert them to the fuel they need to operate but biofuels will never replace petro, [i]on a large scale[/i].
[b]Thorium Hot Salt reactors[/b], demonstrated here decades ago were passed over iin favor of dangerous uranium reactor that make weapons materials ,
Thorium is plentiful, Very plentiful, and the hot salt reactor cannot melt down or contaminate an environment
Thermal depolymerization, can help the gap, it can convert ANY waist stream inot three kind of carbon baesd energy, Gas, and raw petroleum. the best system ws invented years ago,, but was bought up by Consolidated Agriculture, who shelved it.

ALSO we can do so muich more with efficiency,,we dont nee 300 horsepower just to drive around, too much of our petro consupmtion, is people trying to look cool nd bad by drivng a guzzler, no not a farmer or worker that NEEDS a big truck but that office guy who tries to look cowboy, by buying a manly truck
the japanese car companies bought out the tech that allowed GM to build a practical electric vehicle when GM choked it off, and sold the american battery technology they now sell back to us. Every Railroad engin you see is a HUGE hybrid generator, and can run from lots of fuel sources at enormous efficiency
diversified sources,, not just one ( petro) are a better choice in many ways, so if one goes down of is cut off, we have others to fall back on, Not every alternative is the answer alone, MANY together do us a good turn.

I a hopeful we can divorce the petro countries that have been FUNDING islamo-terror, and i have seen it working, time to re-tool our industrial base

@Amylynne Cool!

@walabby Thank you kind sir, I try to educate myself all the time. 😘

@Amylynne That was a very comprehensive reply. It's good to know that there is plenty of possibilities out there. Eventually coal will be totally banned from energy production because it is essential for steel production..
Amylynne · 26-30, F
@walabby nat gas is an alternative to coal too, but unlike aluminum,electrical induction is just too hard
walabby · 61-69, M
@Amylynne yes it is, but it too will one day be all gone...
