But solar and wind energy are proven to affect the environment just as much as coal and oil. You just don't see it as much because it's less prevalent. Wind farms are proven to lower temperatures around the area's they're installed, as well as altering wind patterns, thus changing the weather. (There's even unsupported evidence to suggest they interrupt flight paths and cause neural damage, but that's bulls--- to me.) And solar panels are shown to do the opposite and raise the temperature. I just don't see a reason to change from one evil to an equal and less effective evil.

Can you not read?

emmajamme2 Newbieits not about switching to solar, its about taking the steps to try to live more sustainable lives.

Ok, number one: funniebunnie, your goofy and obviously uneducated in this matter. Take a seat.
Now into the real stuff...well, this a serious issue. Global warming I believe is not so much a thing according to modern majority science, much like overpopulation is now believed to be hocus pocus. However, what you can see for yourseld is the effects of habitat loss,environmental poisoning, and other related activities.
What can we do about it? Well...one person doesn't make a difference. Its just a fact. Its a favt people have a hard time believing but its true nonetheless.
Sometimes you get lucky and a trend goes in your direction but you have no control over that, more likely the trend controls you.
And in the end, the harm that is done, is avoidable on a personal scale within our lifetimes, which is a much more achievable expenditure of effort than watching the health of the planet.....
While I have the utmost regard for preservation of earth, current ideas to do so are so illogical that you cant even begin to carry them out. -
There are closed and open environments. Earth is a closed environment and we can't just keep putting more and more pollution and taking more and more resources from a closed environment and expect everything to be ok. We can see this concept in various premative civilaztions. They only take from the land what they need with very little waste and always put back into the earth. Up here in the mountains the native Americans where always known to put a fish in the ground along with crops to enrich the soil because they were aware of sustainability and knew how to respect their land.
-
Thats bulls--- : p no offense. The nobility of hunt and gather cultures is overwhelmingly exaggerated. Particularly of the american indians.
I agree, the fact is our behavior is self destructive. But that sustainable respect the earth crap is romantic nonesense xD -
I didn't mean for it to come out all hippyish.I was just saying that they did respect their land because they lived off it.
-
Inorder to "clean up" the planet following the sustainability path, we wluld have to abandon modern technologies and civilization. Vast percentages of the population would die, and we might as well have died from polluting.
We require the pollutants to survive in the numbers we do. The pollutants will eventually trim us down. The tricky part is sustaining our civilization, and the romantic respect the earth nonesense is not a solution to that -
We can create and have created cleaner forms of energy and waste disposal. Its just peoples' inability to accept change and experiment with new things.
-
Because in the end, thw ONLY reason to care about the earth is because we live on it. Whether its the result of our civilization or abandonment of it, we're going to die unless we can solve the issue of where to put trash, and what to do for power, once and for all.
-
What technologies are you talking about?
-
How about the idea that in the end the fuel and supplies is going to run out anyway - they'll either be some mass panic/world war or people will just co-operate and live of the land again.
-
Lions thats the whole point. Our fuels will run out, habitat will become unlivable, one way or another we will lose ability to sustain ourselves because our civilization is unsustainable. But it makes no sense to "live off the land" now, and undergo our extinction event to aboid our extinction event
-
That's what I'm getting at. You wouldn't take a s--- where you wanted in your house. You need to dispose of it properly so your house isn't filled with s---.
-
But what technology are you talking about that can solve these issues saoh? I've never heard of any that could really do the job
