Re: Man Made Global COOLING?!
If it was real nobody would need to be "convinced" of anything. It would be obvious to everyone.
Just curious, how come people like you who believe in this stuff carry on using modern equipment and methods that pollute and contribute to this supposed man made climate change? Why arent you hoeing weeds by hand?, using oxen to plow fields? drawing water from a local stream? riding a bicycle or walking?
I mean if every little bit counts and the end is near and man needs to change, why arent the "believers" leading the way?
Because its a HOAX thats why.
You didn't answer my question.
If it was real no one would have to be convinced?
How about the Flat Earth morons? Hell, Eratosthenes figured out the Earth was a sphere 2000 years ago. Watching a ship disappear over the horizon is a simple demonstration of a spherical Earth. Climate change is a little more complex, but most people understand the cause and effect involved.
There is no need to get draconian and go back to an pre-industrial revolution agrarian lifestyle. No one I have read is advocating that type of lifestyle changes. We can make a lot of the changes needed by using, gasp, renewable sources for power generation instead of fossil fuels. We are going to have to start recycling nearly every thing we use. There are finite resources available, and once we use them up, that's it.
Wider use of electric cars will help a lot. Air travel is one of the biggest polluters, people think nothing about hopping on a plane and flying across the country for a weekend getaway. I have only flown on an airline once in the 35 years to go to my son's wedding in AZ, but I am nowhere the norm.
There are many things in the economy that will have to change, but as it always has, technology has found ways to create other opportunities. Man is a survivor, and I think we will figure it out. If not, we'll go the way of so many other species that were unable to adapt.
Another reality that we are going to have face is that in the not so distant future there are going to be too many people on this planet to be able to feed everyone and have them live in a decent standard of living. When that happens, things are going to get ugly.
I kind of got off track, but what it boils down to is that we can do what needs to be done to mitigate climate change without seriously affecting our lifestyles, but we have to get headed in that direction now, not after all the climate change deniers have died. All the doom and gloom and hyperbole those like yourself espouse is nonsense, you're just scared of change. All the conspiracy theories are spread to scare people and draw attention those who create and culture them.
I think an interesting development in the last few years is that some of the oil companies have branched off into renewable energy technologies to hedge their bets. All the denials about climate fossil fuels contributing to climate change have mostly vanished and their shareholders have made it known that the future, if we have one, is in clean energy sources.
