I know.
What I am curious of is how fast the CO2 level is rising.
Compared to how fast it has risen in the past.
That hole in the ozone layer fixed itself as well
^After we banned certain chemicals.
Yeah, but no one predicted it would just come back lol
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.
everyone just dances around the real issue and it drives me nuts
we did band the type of gas that was the problem in most commensal use
In my opinion we should try to move towards Solar for two reasons.
1. The fuel that it uses simply arrives, no one needs to transfer a fuel from one place to another.
2. It will allow us to decentralize power grids.
TBH, Solar is probably worse for climate change than greenhouse gases.
Think about it.
the problem isn't the climate changing the problem is our civilzation isn't built to tank serious climactic shifts
That said, given current tech, I think we should be investing in fission power until we either get fusion or sustainable renewables.
It's a risk vs reward problem.
If we banned gasoline right now we kill a lot of people.
the climate was always going to change either by our own hands or say yellowstone exploding
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
Let's put a whole bunch of reflective panels over the surface of the earth
No
and yellowstone exploding causes that instantly
Right Wing, we should make a sphere of panels around the Sun.
Dyson Sphere
Harvest Mars for resources
Renewables right now aren't reliable for a primary energy source. Too reliant on weather.
@Elijah I'm being facetious to point out that's what solar panels are. We're reflecting solar radiation back into the atomosphere.
True
we should make our seaports and cities ready for changes in sealevel and improve on our knowledge of robotics for the inevitable die offs
@Harazu Keshtah No u
For solar or wind to be primary power sources we need breakthroughs in energy storage.
Nuclear Energy might also be a good option.
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
@Harazu Keshtah That's the biggest problem conservatives have with climate change.
You all think you have the authority to make demands of me.
The down side with that is uranium still needs transported.
atm I think nuclear is the best option
I'm a major proponent of Nuclear Energy
I acctualy don't disagree
same
Right now the best balance of clean and realiable is nuclear plants, yes.
