This is what a debate on Climate Change should look like
This just hit my mail inbox. It's quite clever, if you ask me, and also is, you know, true. |

honestly.
Climate change is happening, yes. We have a hand on it, yes.
But, I'm more on the side that we are making it happening faster, not the sole reason why it happens. [img]http://eve-files.com/sig/grimpak[/img]

uh huh. but why does it happen? look at the history.
it happens when co2 increases or decreases. that can happen for a lot of reasons. in the past it happened because of various natural causes. like volcanism. changing habitats. why is it happening now? ...where's all the co2 coming from? us. industry. fossil fuel consumption. deforestation. that last one will be the real killer. because forests and plant life in general use c02. so we are removing the things that breathe co2 and put out oxygen...and building more industry creating more co2.

Fun fact!
We grew grapes and made wine when part of the Roman empire. Infact we made wine until a cultural change and a love for Mead in the dark ages, it wasn't picked up again in the uk until the mid 20th century due to a lack of knowledge even though we could grow them.
Fun fact 2!
It is now widely believed that a mild ice age was averted around 7000bc due to the spread of farming. Join Bat Country today and defend the Glorious Socialist Dictatorship |

ooookaaay.
*backs away*
so, i'll guess i'll just go over here and be wrong. with like 97% of climatologists. don't mind us.
and by the way, cows are farming, which makes them part of industry.

Now imagine when we'll be 10 billion within the next 30 years, or even 20 billion before the end of this century, and needing way more farmland to grown food, knocking down a lot more trees that absorb C02 and produce the oxygen we need to breathe, a lot more room for houses and services in general( schools, hospitals and the like), create a lot more jobs which further adds to the pollution issue, and transportation to get from point A to point B and of course with medical knowledge improving, people live longer lives.
So those young enough and thinking it's a future generation's problem and not mine might be in for a rude awakening... |

Education, I was aiming to get into Geology.
There are a large number of BBC science programmes from Professor Iain Stewart that go into detail on the subject. There are also some Horizon documentaries that get into some good detail and there might be a Royal Institute Christmas Lecture on the subject but I'm not sure on that one.
The biggest problem with Climate change is that the general public has very little easy to digest info on the subject and the news sites from both sides of the camp are terrible at reporting the subject.

It's probably too late to do anything about it. To reduce CO2 emissions enough would almost certainly destroy the global economy, so no one is going to do it. We are just going to have to learn to adapt to a warmer planet with higher sea levels, unless we can pull off one of the more outlandish ideas, like a sticking a solar shade up in to space.
Of course one of the big problems that doesn't get mentioned much, too many people. Politically a trick one to approach though. |

haha! yeah totally bypass what the video is about, why it was made, the insane lie they got caught red handed in and still hold to. Just lay waste to it with silly comments, ignore it and go on with the age old campaign that gets lots of the high instigators filthy rich. I've just never been into hokey religions, myself... or is that hockey religion? ah

And now the current and next few generations are going to screw it all up...:P
I was going to post that video too, which states that the planet has gone thru hell in all it's existence, but it's still here and only the dominant species living on the planet at the time changes, so it's inevitable unless some drastic laws are put into place that people will not like, like what was done in china for 30 years and recently lifted:
1 child per family or perhaps encouraging killing yourself once you reach a certain age where you can work anymore, can't pay taxes like you used to, but the health insurance costs go thru the roof because you get sick much more often, and the unfortunate reality is that for many people they are serious conditions with no cure yet, and they still receive their government pensions just the same, from government in each country getting more broke and in debt, every decade that passes.
I'm sure this will end up fine....

And all those good fights have lead us where? How would you like to live in a cave and eat raw meat again? How humanity can stop fighting the good fights if you don't show them how? Can you fight the good fight to save you from yourself? You are your worst enemy now. Try not to win, because if you lose, your worst enemy is losing too.

Just saw the latest cosmos show speaking exactly about this topic funny enough, and in 1958 the annual output of C02 gas from all industries as well as volcanic eruptions and anything else that could contribute to the total was 6 billion tons.
Today, it totals 30 billion tons...A 5 fold increase in just 50 years, so we can imagine what the result will be like if we double the population in the next 50 years and still keep to burning oil, natural gas and coal as main energy providers.
We've gone from 300 milligrams of carbon dioxide, which has been the reference for the last 800 000 years to 450 milligrams since the industrial revolution started in the late 1800's and 600 milligrams is the tipping point where there's no going back, it might reach that mark by the end of this century and the earth gradually turns into another Venus.....Scary **** ladies and gents.
Action needs to be taken on a global scale involving every country, not just localized projects anymore to have enough time to reverse the tend and scientists knew this since the late 1880's, they did the math and 80 years later, NASA( in 1958) confirmed them as being on the money, but short term goals like cheap oil, natural gas and coal still dominated and we lived on a year to year basis even back then, and what would happen 100~200 years later, they didn't care.
Strangely similar attitude to what's happening now but we have much less time to react, even if our technology is more advanced than it was back then.....lobbies, politics, the money it would take for this massive project on a world wide scale, and do we have enough time left to pull this off and change our destiny....Seems we always have to have our backs to the wall to react.

It's a self-correcting problem. Or will be once agriculture is affected. For example, oil. A lot of middle east countries subsidize bread for the masses. Farming requires oil. When the oil prices went up, farming cost more, wheat prices went up[1], bread prices went up and countries like Egypt had to cut back on bread subsidies which caused angst amongst the masses.
Last I checked, the US exports 50% of the wheat it grows. When climate change impacts US food production, countries in the Middle East are going to have a difficult time feeding their people. The people revolt, Middle East oil production slows to a crawl. Any industrial country dependent on Middle East oil will suddenly be using less oil.
See, it's a self-correcting problem. Well, unless Canada[1] or Siberia, once they thaw out, become the world's breadbasket(s).
[1] Between 2006 and 2008 average world prices for rice rose by 217%, wheat by 136%, corn by 125% and soybeans by 107%. In late April 2008 rice prices hit 24 cents (U.S.) per U.S. pound, more than doubling the price in just seven months.

Well the only logical thing to do is start producing more CO2, get the Earth to warm up a little, thus allowing crops to grow better due to the increased warmth as they do. But as long as these globalists keep harping on how we need to cut CO2, it will only lead to starvation and war. |

Depends, see with the melting of the artic we also lose something very important since ice reflects most of the sunlight back to space( about 70% or it in fact), and once it turns into water a lot less goes back to space and gets trapped in the atmosphere, so if you combine that with the higher C02 levels increased by 50%, most climatologists are already saying the average temperatures will already rise as of right now by 2*C, and that what were doing right now isn't preventing global warming, but simply avoiding it to get to more extreme situations where the average temps grow by 4*C and where ocean currents get affected which many areas of the globe depend on like the la nina and el nino ocean currents.

And the growth in population and all the trees that have to be cut down to make more farm land available, which also absorb CO2 and release the very oxygen we need to breathe?
A lot of Crops don't generate the air one needs to survive, only the leafy green variety do and not as well as a fully grown trees...

DW and I are at opposite ends of the issue as usual. Really, give that some thought... 
I'm looking out my window, I see a farm. No trees were sacrificed to make that farm. In fact, I have about 100 trees on my property, where none were before. My neighborhood has 1000's of trees where none were before. But that farm, how dare them have warmer temperatures to better grow crops, how dare them! Greater yields per acre! it's just inhumanity to man it is. Think of the children!!
Really, get out of the city, dude, there is a whole big world out there where things grow and trees are not automatically ripped down to plant some corn or rice etc. Don't buy into the lies of those filthy rich globalists elitists, they don't give a squat about you, and would prefer famine and war over food and electricity for the 7bil inhabitants of this world... which only around 1bil currently having access to air conditioning even.

A lot of Crops don't generate the air one needs to survive, only the leafy green variety do and not as well as a fully grown trees... See guys, what more proof do you need in this thread. DW and I are at opposite ends of the issue as usual. Really, give that some thought...  I'm looking out my window, I see a farm. No trees were sacrificed to make that farm. In fact, I have about 100 trees on my property, where none were before. My neighborhood has 1000's of trees where none were before. But that farm, how dare them have warmer temperatures to better grow crops, how dare them! Greater yields per acre! it's just inhumanity to man it is. Think of the children!! Really, get out of the city, dude, there is a whole big world out there where things grow and trees are not automatically ripped down to plant some corn or rice etc. Don't buy into the lies of those filthy rich globalists elitists, they don't give a squat about you, and would prefer famine and war over food and electricity for the 7bil inhabitants of this world... which only around 1bil currently having access to air conditioning even. Many not even a light bulb. I care about them, not stupid hokey religions based on hockey sticks.
Even the seeds for many types of crops are already genetically modified to grow faster, larger and need less water and also needing less pesticides...One that comes to mind that's already like that are tomato seeds from Monsanto which controls most of the world market, and all in the effort to produce more food at cheaper prices even if it's no longer quite natural anymore....Health implications in the very long run, who knows.
So if we're already doing that at 7+ billion and even then over 1 billion go hungry every day, or don't have clean water or schools or hospitals, you can imagine when we'll be twice as many before the end of the century, even if we exclude the whole pollution and global warming and what's causing it.
We're getting screwed in the long run, and seeing it gradually happen and doing nothing about it on a global scale......Fun fact, at 7+ billion people right now, and if everyone on the planet ate like the average American, we'd need 4 earths right now, so a lot of people aren't eating enough as it is. |

This man speaks truth. GM crops are a money spinner. The good of humanity is second to the good of the shareholders.
Theres a reason 'organic' crops are more expensive. Its trick advertising to get you thinking its healthier. Thus even more profits!

I don't follow you here...I read that thread( all 6 pages) and indeed the food there sucks big time......in the rare occasions I do at one( months pass by each time, and only if there's nothing else available close), I only have the angus burgers which actually don't use that crappy special sauce the big macs do and taste like a burger.....I actually once ordered a big mac without that sauce, and it's horrible without it...almost made me throw up.
They do make money for sure, so it's successful in that sense, but i'd rather go to a Wendy's or an A&W for a burger that tastes like a burger, second would be a burger king which is still tolerable if not that great.
So with an ever growing population that demands ever more food, power, water, housing, jobs, transportation, schools, hospitals, goods shipped from one continent to another, generates more pollution as it grows, how is it you you feel we can modify and keep control of the overall situation indefinitely? |

Even if global warming/climate change were real, pfff the coffin may be nailed shut long before any real results for that ever actually kicks in, from failing farms which is happening now and for real. BTW, the same climate crud I heard back in the 70's that we were all suppose to be dead from already, long ago, freakin running around like chickens with their heads cut off.
Now they screw with the numbers, caught red handed doing that, same chart that HBO guy flashed behind him on the screen in the OP vid, and I linked that vid that someone interested in research may get a start off of. That vid was all whitewash in the OP, only around 50% are fooled from it enough to care at all, not the 75-90%. We can invent numbers for public opinions or actual climate data all day long, they certainly did for the climate data already. It's good business I guess, lots of money to be made. Monsanto, green energy, environmental regulation, book deals, movies, talk circuits, research grants etc etc etc. Big paydays to be hads. |

Funny story about that. My dad was in secondary school in the 70s. And he kept all his old school books etc as my family never throw any damn thing away if we can help it.
Well about 15 years ago he dug out his old science text book which had a whole chapter about climate change entitled, "Life in 1999." It accompanied a short story about a brother and sister trying to get to school across polar ice sheets and worrying about polar bears... in what remained of London. Basically the whole premise was that warming would trigger cooling and bring on an ice age and that we should do x y z to avoid it.
Suffice to say they got their data a tad off methinks. "I think you should buy a new Mayan calendar. Mine has muscle cars on it." --áKenneth O'Hara

Odd because I grew up in LA, grade school in the 70's, GenX and all that. One time they took us out on a field trip, to just a local park.

We finally started about rioting, they gave up and let us off lol. They never reached us, and our grade schrewl official grad music was this, but not until a near riot when at first they denied our near unanimous vote for it.
Now kids are scared. They start on them with this really young.

Like this source that points it out but I don't exactly agree with his full position.

Just saw the latest cosmos show speaking exactly about this topic funny enough, and in 1958 the annual output of C02 gas from all industries as well as volcanic eruptions and anything else that could contribute to the total was 6 billion tons. Today, it totals 30 billion tons...A 5 fold increase in just 50 years, so we can imagine what the result will be like if we double the population in the next 50 years and still keep to burning oil, natural gas and coal as main energy providers. We've gone from 300 milligrams of carbon dioxide, which has been the reference for the last 800 000 years to 450 milligrams since the industrial revolution started in the late 1800's and 600 milligrams is the tipping point where there's no going back, it might reach that mark by the end of this century and the earth gradually turns into another Venus.....Scary **** ladies and gents. Action needs to be taken on a global scale involving every country, not just localized projects anymore to have enough time to reverse the tend and scientists knew this since the late 1880's, they did the math and 80 years later, NASA( in 1958) confirmed them as being on the money, but short term goals like cheap oil, natural gas and coal still dominated and we lived on a year to year basis even back then, and what would happen 100~200 years later, they didn't care. Strangely similar attitude to what's happening now but we have much less time to react, even if our technology is more advanced than it was back then.....lobbies, politics, the money it would take for this massive project on a world wide scale, and do we have enough time left to pull this off and change our destiny....Seems we always have to have our backs to the wall to react.
Action is being taken, sort of, the EU has pretty stringent regulations when it comes to emissions. Why they'd close down a nuclear plant tho is beyond me, but fact of the matter is that the majority of people with access to technology have a small carbon footprint. It's just that there's a lot of them. For example, China gives out more emissions that the US of A by a good margin, since it has about 4x the pop, even tho the average amount per capita is sporting a 3:1 ratio in favour of the USA.

Greenland and the permafrost areas will not be good for growing crops, there isnt the soil there for them. When it melts it will at best be moorland and at worst, a desert. It will take 3000 years at least before there is enough soil to grow crops in these areas. We have also lost something like 30% of farmable land in the last 200 years due to expanding cities, desertification and other environmental changes.

People that don't think climate change is real and that we are nagatively effecting the planet and atmosphere literally astound me. I don't need someone in a lab coat telling me (though I believe them when I hear it) things are changing. I can see it for myself. I don't need to be told Monsanto engineered and chemically treated agriculture is bad. That its killing ecosystems. I'm surrounded by farmland where I live. Huge agricultural federal lands. I've seen one, just one living honeybee in 3 years. It was so poignant a moment for me, I took a picture of it with my phone.
Glaciers are melting. The polar caps are melting. This is not fiction. This is right in front of our faces for all to see. And yet so many people just stick their heads in the sand like ostriches. Here in Minnesota every single summer is hotter and the weather nastier. And while I love it warm and toasty, I know it's changed and not normal just in my short life. I think it's extremely naive and dangerous to even pretend for a second that billions of people, vehicles, homes and industrial buildings of all kinds are not affecting the planet.
Big business, particularly the energy industry pays HUGE amounts of money each year to spread complete rubbish and disinformation about the climate issues. Why would they do this if they knew nothing was wrong? It's because they are terrified of an informed consumer base. Plain and simple. Terrified of change. Of loss of revenue. |

Even if global warming/climate change were real, pfff the coffin may be nailed shut long before any real results for that ever actually kicks in, from failing farms which is happening now and for real. BTW, the same climate crud I heard back in the 70's that we were all suppose to be dead from already, long ago, freakin running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Now they screw with the numbers, caught red handed doing that, same chart that HBO guy flashed behind him on the screen in the OP vid, and I linked that vid that someone interested in research may get a start off of. That vid was all whitewash in the OP, only around 50% are fooled from it enough to care at all, not the 75-90%. We can invent numbers for public opinions or actual climate data all day long, they certainly did for the climate data already. It's good business I guess, lots of money to be made. Monsanto, green energy, environmental regulation, book deals, movies, talk circuits, research grants etc etc etc. Big paydays to be hads.
Ah Ok, so we're already screwed...Gotcha. |

I'm sorry but as a financial analyst i find this data about china totally hilarious. They're lucky to get 7-7.5% today (and a lot of private financial houses question the official figures with a HUGE pinch of salt since independent figures are nigh on impossible to get) and are cooling faster and faster with a very bad housing bubble yet to burst. Not to mention their capital outflow issues. Which is music to my ears. 
On top of that you already have a growing momentum of companies to find cheaper / greener pastures outside of China. Plus the incalculable damage they are doing with their neighbours. Lots of funds are divesting their interests / assets. Capital is still pouring in. But i still dont like the way its going.
Hold your horses on China. Like all us sensible financial people are doing. People are too keen to say the USA is through, the same was hollered in the 80s / 90s about Japan.

They wont do that as it would wreck so many systems already in place and spell disquiet in China. And the PRC is loathe to have tensions amongst the people. China wants to rise, but theyre still primarily a manufacturing hub. Until they get their white collar tech up and running and start innovating and manufacturing their own products they cant risk it. And thats not going to happen for a long while it seems. China isnt very good at selling itself the same way the Japanese were.
Thats a very short summary. But in a nutshell if they were to try it, it would backfire horribly upon them as funds divest themselves and they watch their economy crumble and face possible rebellion. Its in everyones interest to play nice.
China has the USA by the balls, the USA has China by the throat as it were.

Since one of china's arguments (and a valid one for once) is that the USA enjoyed economic growth for the past 60+ years and didn't care about pollution at all or global warming, and now the USA is dictating what china should be doing on the pollution matter( which it is very polluted), but there's all these economic tensions between both if the fight gets really nasty, is why nothing will change for the 2 countries that contribute the most to pollution. |

There are very nice diesel engines out there. I always had a soft spot for Volvo's reliable D5 engines, and the Toyota's 1.4 D4-D is a perky, little tank of an engine.
Also, hybrids actually only work well in city, where you can get the most out of the electrical engine. Longer trips, doesn't matter if it's diesel or petrol, altho I prefer an LPG-converted petrol engine for that. Only hybrid that sorta made some impression with me was the Ampera, but that one's kinda unique. As a friend of mine said "Hybrids were made so that divorced soccer moms could go pick up their kids."

First of all we still have vineyards here in the UK. Just up the road at Pant Ddu there's a vineyard and this shows that if they can grow in North Wales then they can pretty much grow anywhere.
Your second point. Yes. They did have ice fairs on the Thames. However, this was due to two things. Firstly the Gulf Stream has a wobble now and then and we get cold winters. Or rather, we get winters that we should do due to our high latitude. We've got friends in Alberta and they are always mentioning their 'Arctic weather' despite that they live nowhere near to the Arctic as any half decent atlas will show. In fact, they live just thirty miles further North than we do here on Pen Ll++n. So, really, if it weren't for the Gulf Stream we'd be having colder winters.
The winters at the end of the 1950s and early 60s were bad and there was a movement in the Gulf Stream then. It is believed that similar events happened when the Thames froze.
Now, the second reason that the Thames froze then was that the river was wider then. It isn't boxed in as it is now between walls on either side. On the notherrn side they used to build ships on the mud flats which is why the famous street, The Strand, got its name. The Strand, as you may be aware is a fair distance away from the river today. Now, given that the same volume of water flows in and out but now its in a narrower channel it's less likely to freeze and it now seems incredulous to suggest that the river could have frozen once but if the Gulf Stream slows, moves or stops and the river is back to its orginal width then freezing is not unlikely at all.

Well my little 1.4 diesel Citroen C3 went from Innsbruck to the outskirts of Amsterdam on one tank and I was doing 75-90mph for most the trip. (47 liter tank) Granted I didn't aim for doing the trip on one tank, I didn't realize I needed fuel until I was down to 30 miles and the first two stations I stopped at didn't have any diesel left. Got filled up with 15 miles left in the tank Join Bat Country today and defend the Glorious Socialist Dictatorship |

The fact is that China's environmental issues are hitting them harder and faster than any other country in the world. And the country is so populated, and the issues are so massive and severe, that they just can't bury their head in the sand as the USA do. "Environmental issues" are quite morey real when evey year your capital spends months breathing your fertile soil.
The good news is that China is prone to swinging the pendulum and shift their collective mind very fast, and so if they decide that they must go full green, they will totally and completey whipe the floor with everything every other country has done before. But also if they determine it's time to go full ****** and don't give a **** of environment, they will destroy the world as we know it.

all in all, and things considered, specially the price of such vehicles, you're either better off in a car with an engine with very small displacement, if it's for going around town, or something akin to a 1.6L with forced induction for longer travels, or going full electric.
This is all considering if you don't want engines with power, of course. At the moment I'm trying to get an older car with a relatively large engine but more geared to torque and not HP. Early 90's 2.2litre accord for example is a car that has nice figures for such a large displacement engine, and it's quite reliable and comfortable, even considering the age of it. The F22-series block is a heck of an engine. [img]http://eve-files.com/sig/grimpak[/img]

That's my main fear right there since:
1: China and japan hate each others guts ever since WW2 ended since japan invaded their country and killed a lot of people, and both countries are still disputing islands in the Chinese sea that are worthless, but what isn't worthless is that below those are fairly large oil deposits and both want their hands on it.
2: China is building up militarily in a big way, to the point where they want 5 carriers operational within the next 10 years, so they can enforce their way of thinking on the overall region.
3: China does not recognize the independence of Taiwan, and still state the island belongs to them, hence why Taiwan is armed to the teeth, and has US backing in japan with the base at Okinawa japan where there's 30 000 troops, and the US's 6th fleet stationed there( carrier, cruisers, destroyers, frigates and nuclear subs, etc..)
4: We have the situation with north and south Korea and trying to get stability between those 2, which technically, are still at war even today, and north Korea are allies with china.
5: China is a big trade partner of Russia to the point that even as of a couple of weeks ago, they signed new trade agreements despite the fact trade sanctions were being imposed by the USA and allies for the whole situation in Ukraine...How's that for a _I_ the USA and partners.
6: The Olympics showed the means china was willing to hide the pollution problem by having all the local higher pollution businesses shutting down for a month so that visitors taking pictures would see a nice clear blue sky....
7: we have all these personal attacks between both China and the USA, but I mentioned this in my last post, and that China is a free market economy but not a democracy at all, since there's no open elections where the public participates at all levels, protests aren't allowed either( Tien amen square in 1989) , no opposition party at all or political debates either, so it's still very much communist in that respect and does what it wants to do, and has a lot of financial control in the USA and that's the end of it.
8: the USA can ***** and moan all it wants, this isn't a country that bows down to the established super powers as they're not a country in development anymore and are getting to super power status quickly....They have nukes and nuclear power plants, they build rockets and have a space program and are the third country to put a man into orbit, and build a lot of their own military gear and more....List would be endless, but fun fact is that Mercedes and Ferrari's largest market is china...
So it's a powder keg just waiting for a detonator to set it off sooner or later as it continues it's build up politically, economically and militarily, and pollution isn't a high priority unless it's a public event to save face. |

The 30% reduction by 2030?...Yeah I saw that too, but it still isn't enough since we dump 30 million tons of CO2 every year, which is 5 times higher than what the we used to in 1960, so it's still better than nothing but for the climate to change in the long run, then no.

As I said, Chinese environmental issues are massive, and it's a densely populated country. Losing 40% of their farmlands is no joke, and then mind this: some of those lands had been exploited continuosly for 7,000 years and now are literally gone forever.
Floods, sandstorms, salinization, desertification, pollution of every sort (air/water/land), China's disasters are as massive as the population. They can't bury their heads in the sand the American way nor pretend it's a PR issue. |

That's why they have such a heavy emphasis on trade with other countries, including food and energy since they recently bought a power company that's exploiting the dirty oil in alberta Canada for instance, and automatically gain access to the 2nd largest oil deposit in the world, just behind Saudi Arabia and they don't care if it's dirty oil either,
Just like they're building 3 nuclear plants right now which are third generation pebble lined designs from US based Westinghouse, which are much safer than previous generations since they can't melt down or produce hydrogen explosions at all like fukujima if the cooling fails....They'll be the first country in the world with that latest generation and they have the money for it since they aren't broke, and also built the largest dam in the world, the 3 Gorges dam, at 26 billion dollars.
China can't fix all their issues locally, they make government backed trade deals or buy out entire industries in other countries and import them home with all the money they have.....I don't think they even have a public debt, but have to check that one.

Very true, but the ability to grow trees at an accelerated rate is completely possible. So much of Great Britian's deforested land is still sitting treeless and unused. Forests have for eons been destoryed by nature and rebuilt by nature. Why can we not do the same thing?

I remember back in grade school the chicken little crowd was telling us how we were heading into another Ice Age. Now we're gonna fry. A decade or two, it will be something else.... I mean, getting leaner and greener is all good and fantastic and everything, but there's no real point to getting hysterical about it.
As for the coal thing, I've been hunting out on the Wyoming plains watching these huge coal trains go by every 20-30 minutes. The sheer mass of what they are moving is mind-boggling. I know coal needs a nerf, but we need to be careful messing with an industry that big. Lot of jobs at stake.
And damn, I mean, there's a LOT of coal laying around....

We can do that. While there is space arable space I suppose. But one of the reasons the rainforest is disappearing is to make room for more people. More business. More industry. More concrete. More blacktop.
Which are two non-helpful things when considering the ecosystem themselves. Taking away the green and replacing it with concrete and blacktop causes even more heat to be absorbed and held onto.

Worst thing about the latter is that it uses a lot of fresh water, which only makes up 3% of the worlds water supply, unless you want to setup facilities to clean up sea water to drink it, which in turn needs power to operate them, and they are expensive.
In short, anyway you look at it, we're screwed because no matter what option is chosen, it steps on some ones interests and how they can make money, hence the real solution get rid of money altogether.

Rainforests can't be replanted for a simple reason: 98% of all nutrients are on the plants. Someone cuts and burns them, grows some crops on the ashes, and what's left is sterile soil with little to no organic matter in it -what is technically known as a mottherfuking barren, which is going to be eroded by the rains, just until the rains stop, as trees are a key element in rain rates -no trees, no rains, ask the Sahara for further detail on that vicious circle.
Of course, rainforests can be exploited in a sustainable manner, but only if you live there and grow the appropiate trees and plants as if it was a kind of orchard -the leaves of this plant, the fruit of that palm tree, here are edible roots, firewood from that tree, et cetera. It's a low density agriculture and doesn't allows large populations, but is sustainable, even more if you slowly and carefully prepare the ground and manufacture patches of "terra preta do indio" to grow common vegetables on them.
The question is, we can deal with our planet and its flora/fauna in two ways: as an enemy to conquer, exploit and destroy, or as a friend to recruit in our favor so everybody prosper. |

This always baffles me how people are in such denial. We are a species about 7 billion strong who all breathe and exhale carbon dioxide just as a baseline. Then a large portion of that population has their own car to drive around in and the overwhelming majority of that population gets their power from coal power plants and most of us by products made in factories that also release various chemicals into the atmosphere and we all get our food and other necessities by vast networks of various freight methods land air or sea. Of course we have an impact on our environment.

Education, I was aiming to get into Geology. There are a large number of BBC science programmes from Professor Iain Stewart that go into detail on the subject. There are also some Horizon documentaries that get into some good detail and there might be a Royal Institute Christmas Lecture on the subject but I'm not sure on that one. The biggest problem with Climate change is that the general public has very little easy to digest info on the subject and the news sites from both sides of the camp are terrible at reporting the subject. I'm one of those rare people that enjoy reading scientific papers  Here's a good one to watch, The Climate Wars. Its a history of the climate change debate. Episode 1Episode 2Episode 3 Thank you Baltec , I'll be watching those later o7 "CAKE CANNOT HOLD UP TO BEING A CHARACTER DAMNIT."

Then a large portion of that population has their own car to drive around in and the overwhelming majority of that population gets their power from coal power plants and most of us by products made in factories that also release various chemicals into the atmosphere and we all get our food and other necessities by vast networks of various freight methods land air or sea. Of course we have an impact on our environment.
in denial are those who believe that everything's fine.
I believe that everything's not fine. My belief in who is responsible is pedantic at most, since finding the culprit won't do squat on this.
In addition to all the things that are happening atm, latest solar minimum has started about 2 years ago. That *might* make things happen slower, as global warming is concerned, but not for long. If any it might make things worse. Who knows. [img]http://eve-files.com/sig/grimpak[/img]
