I remember back in the70s we were being told a mini ice age was impending on us. Didnt happen, now the world is burning up, polar bears are drowsing, ice burgs are melting coastal cities are going to be under water, solar flares are going to cook all our electronics,,, and the lists go on. Every change that is going on now has happened before and will happen again long after we are gone. I am looking for the article from one of the think tanks, that stated the eruption of one or more volcanos puts more pollution in the air and water than all of human evolution combined. Change is inviable and nothing we as a species can do will change it. Just MHO
Yep, my take on it as well. The Earth will self correct, it always has, always will. Anyone who thinks it wont, just let their backyard go to seed. If all us puny humans were to suddenly disappear, Mother Nature will wipe out all traces within 500 years. There are still Aztec structures buried that have yet to be found.
Science, as it turns out, is not exact. At least according to Fruadci, much of it can be made up to promote an agenda. You can cherry pick all kinds of data to suit the agenda, and a LOT of the Climate Change freaks do such. But if you look at the broad spectrum of data out there, and newer discoveries that promote that timelines are way off, you will see that we are in a normal cycle, which will self correct within say 100-150 years and swing down. We are actually nearing the next ice age according to some new data.
To give an idea, the northern portion of the US was under 2 miles of ice less than 10,000 years ago, and what they originally thought took centuries to melt, happened in decades instead. There is a canyon in Wisconsin, I think they call it Lost Canyon, and scientist originally thought it took hundreds of years to carve out, but recently discovered that it only took 10's of years. The Sahara was a lush rainforest at one time, and eventually became a desert, and again, they originally thought it took thousands of years, but found it took less than a few hundred.
IOW take what these "experts" say with a grain of salt, and if you really want to find out, there is plenty of data out there to read. Start with the Holocene period.
I'm all for cleaner energy, but will NEVER call it Green since it takes a LOT of energy to produce, and emits a LOT of CO2 to produce and will take decades to make up for it. I am 100% against padding someones bank account to push the agenda though, and that is exactly what Climate Change is all about.
Just remember, these devices, the solar panels, wind turbines, etc. NEVER remove CO2, they just don't produce CO2 when in use, but tons upon tons are created in their manufacture. For every ton of steel produced from raw iron to make a tower, 1.5 tons of CO2 are produced, more actually since the raw steel has to then be turned into sheet stock in order to make the tube that supports the tower. That is JUST the steel, there is also the copper production, the harvesting of the Balsa, the manufacture of the resins, etc. All of this produces CO2.
Now IF the towers were able to extract CO2 from the air and remove it, now you have something, but they don't. Eventually they reduce the amount of CO2 produced in Electrical generation, but they will never reduce the amount already produced in their manufacture. Give that some thought.
