Yeah, but no one predicted it would just come back lol

2019-01-15 01:22:38 UTC  

Way I see it, even if humans aren't having a huge effect on climate, we should still move to cleaner energy sources if only because carbon is far from the only thing produced by burning fossil fuels.

2019-01-15 01:22:52 UTC  

everyone just dances around the real issue and it drives me nuts

2019-01-15 01:22:54 UTC  

we did band the type of gas that was the problem in most commensal use

2019-01-15 01:22:56 UTC  

In my opinion we should try to move towards Solar for two reasons.

2019-01-15 01:23:15 UTC  

1. The fuel that it uses simply arrives, no one needs to transfer a fuel from one place to another.

2019-01-15 01:23:22 UTC  

2. It will allow us to decentralize power grids.

2019-01-15 01:23:33 UTC  

TBH, Solar is probably worse for climate change than greenhouse gases.

Think about it.

2019-01-15 01:23:43 UTC  

the problem isn't the climate changing the problem is our civilzation isn't built to tank serious climactic shifts

2019-01-15 01:24:00 UTC  

That said, given current tech, I think we should be investing in fission power until we either get fusion or sustainable renewables.

2019-01-15 01:24:03 UTC  

It's a risk vs reward problem.

2019-01-15 01:24:16 UTC  

If we banned gasoline right now we kill a lot of people.

2019-01-15 01:24:20 UTC  

the climate was always going to change either by our own hands or say yellowstone exploding

2019-01-15 01:24:24 UTC  

solar have huge problems like waste as a solar panel only have a 10-15 year life span before they start looing the rate they generate power and they are almost impossible to recycle atm

2019-01-15 01:24:30 UTC  

Let's put a whole bunch of reflective panels over the surface of the earth

2019-01-15 01:24:30 UTC  

If Co2 levels rise to an ungodly amount we kill people.

2019-01-15 01:24:36 UTC  

No

2019-01-15 01:24:49 UTC  

and yellowstone exploding causes that instantly

2019-01-15 01:24:55 UTC  

Right Wing, we should make a sphere of panels around the Sun.

2019-01-15 01:24:58 UTC  

Dyson Sphere

2019-01-15 01:25:16 UTC  

Harvest Mars for resources

2019-01-15 01:25:26 UTC  

Renewables right now aren't reliable for a primary energy source. Too reliant on weather.

2019-01-15 01:25:30 UTC  

@Elijah I'm being facetious to point out that's what solar panels are. We're reflecting solar radiation back into the atomosphere.

2019-01-15 01:25:46 UTC  

True

2019-01-15 01:25:47 UTC  

we should make our seaports and cities ready for changes in sealevel and improve on our knowledge of robotics for the inevitable die offs

2019-01-15 01:25:59 UTC  
2019-01-15 01:26:26 UTC  

For solar or wind to be primary power sources we need breakthroughs in energy storage.

2019-01-15 01:26:42 UTC  

Nuclear Energy might also be a good option.

2019-01-15 01:26:48 UTC  

I'm shocked nobody ever thinks of this climate scientists are good at defining the peramiters but we should leve the problem solving to enginers

2019-01-15 01:26:50 UTC  

@Harazu Keshtah That's the biggest problem conservatives have with climate change.

You all think you have the authority to make demands of me.

2019-01-15 01:26:51 UTC  

The down side with that is uranium still needs transported.

2019-01-15 01:26:57 UTC  

atm I think nuclear is the best option

2019-01-15 01:27:13 UTC  

I'm a major proponent of Nuclear Energy

2019-01-15 01:27:19 UTC  

I acctualy don't disagree

2019-01-15 01:27:23 UTC  

same

2019-01-15 01:27:26 UTC  

Right now the best balance of clean and realiable is nuclear plants, yes.

We have enough Uranium in the oceans to keep us going for hundreds of thousands of years.

2019-01-15 01:27:42 UTC  

We just need a good way to extract it.

2019-01-15 01:28:12 UTC  

We should probably try to move to Nuclear first.

2019-01-15 01:28:20 UTC  

Then use Nuclear energy to produce Solar Panels
