As the wise Sasha Baron Cohen once put it;
"High five!"

Maybe the polar bears shouldn't live on ice. Ever hear of survival of the fittest? Obviously they aren't fit to survive.

I'm selfish.

I completely agree.

Back to the topic:

You realise the most harmful greenhouse gas is water vapour (clouds). And that occurs from the sea evaporating. We can't get rid of the sea - as much as I'd like to walk to France, draining the sea wouldn't be practical  sad  Where would you put the excess water, anyway?

And Carbon Dioxide - rainforests produce A LOT of that a night (due to the lack of sunlight and some other stuff I don't understand 100%)

Another greenhouse gas is methane. And the main producers of that are bovine species (cows, wildebeast, etc). And the only way we can stop them is... well... making THEM extinct. Would you do that to millions of animals, for the sake of some animals that are failing to adapt to the climate?

While I agree that something has to be done about climate change, we have to accept that there are things that are way out of our control.  smile

Yes. It's not completely us to blame. You should all stop blaming yourselves.

The earth is sloowly moving closer to the sun anyways.

Re: We must stop all this! Don't you agree?

I agree but this is a very big task, getting 6 billion people to change their lifestyle within a few years can be a daunting task. Buying electrical cars and solar panels cost money and with this economy we're in some might not be so willing to invest.

Re: We must stop all this! Don't you agree?

Also, people are overreacting. If you're so worried about these things, then why don't you give everyone in your neighborhood a solar panel?

Speaking of giving people stuff, Google gave a town 1 FREAKING GB PER SECOND INTERNET and it kind of ticks me off. I have what, 700kb? It seems like it when I download stuff because every second I download 700kb.

Re: We must stop all this! Don't you agree?

thats what I'm saying. We can't stop it completeley, but we should at least try to reduce it a little. I mean, we owe it to the bears and cute little penguins. And what I mean by make houses over the rainforest means that they (us people) destroy the rainforest and build houses over it!

Re: We must stop all this! Don't you agree?

If we abandon fossil fuels and use nuclear energy, the world's problems will be solved.


Think of it this way:

1 ton of uranium can produce more energy than:

500 square miles of solar panels - for a week
40 trainloads of coal - every day
200 truckloads of oil - every day
300 wind turbines - blowing 50mph for twelve days
8 Hoover Dams

And it is refueled yearly.

Take a close look at this:

Smoke? NO! Its steam, which will evaporate into the clouds, condense, rain down, and feed our lovely crops.  big_smile

FAIL

The Soviets scared people away from it when they used a ridiculously dangerous method of harnessing the power.

That method is now illegal, and was NEVER used by the U.S.

Modern American plants have NEVER had any accidents.

It is only radioactive if you are stupid enough to touch raw uranium.  lol

...and that could never happen, because when they are done being used, they are contained in underground facilities where they will rest in peace for eternity.

Don't try to save your earth. Either it:
dies of global warming

So, either ways, it's doomed.

Not neccasarily.

Recently I read a book about the universe. It had a chapter on several different ways the Earth could die. If we were technologically advanced enough by the time the sun expanded into a red giant, then we might be able to "slingshot" earth away from the sun and find a safer distance. Then when the sun collapses into white dwarf, we could either use the slingshot method again, or we could use our amazing technology to move the earth to another star, such as Alpha Centauri.

But in the meantime, we might as well conserve our energy. There's actually a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Car in Britain that looks and acts just like a normal car - Except it runs on water. It extracts the hydrogen from the water (H2O) and runs on that, and the only emission is oxygen. And the reason this car is supposed to be our salvation is that it is just like the cars of today - meaning we don't have to change our ways to fit around the new type of car.

Chernobyl was completely the workers' fault. They were testing a way of extracting power from the uranium that had never been tried before, and they paid the consequences for it.

But I don't like it raining, because then it's cloudy at night then I can't see the stars.

But during the morning I'm fine with rain.

You're not getting it. We reuse it once, then never again.
Therefore it is still re used.

I watched a documentary on Global Warming the other day/year, and funny thing...
IT'S NOT ENTIRELY OUR FAULT!
The world is warming up as part of the course of nature. Sure, we're speeding it up, but it's not entirely our fault. The ice would melt anyways. And FYI, Antartica isn't melting that much, and that's where penguins live. So really, it's Polar bears we should be caring about.
