Global Warming: Solutions

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Interestingly, Britain will be getting colder during Global Warming. It's all Meteorological, which I don't have a clue on, but my learned friend tells me so.

cows are much more responsible than we are. one solution, eat more beef.

The more beef people eat the more cows they will breed. If you wanted to reduce the amount of methane from cows the solution would be to eat less beef, not more. It's simple supply and demand.

For the love of Christ, isn't one global warming thread enough? Zeke, you have become the physical embodiment of everything wrong with this site, not even MGG can hold a candle to this. You don't need to make a thread to flesh out every detail of an idea. Instead, just put enough thought into your original topic so you don't need to create numerous little cancers on our beloved Escapist.

It's a two-parter. I guess It could've been one, but that would've been less organised. Besides, This is a serious discussion, not wether some pizza face thinks Yahtzee is really a chick.

zeke, there is no reason this discussion couldn't have been held in your other topic, at all

Does it really matter?

Thing is, CO2 is only one of the many greenhouse gases that are being released everyday, such as methane or ammonia.

So we need to kill the cows!

 

[Zeke109]

What is it with people and cows? leave 'em alone!

 

[jim_doki]

it does zeke, because it clutters the forum, looks like a repeat topic and YOU STARTED THE OTHER ONE.

again, does it really matter?

My solution: Get over it put on a t-shirt.

 

[Anarchemitis]

Bah.
I'm still going to get an electric car.

 

[Cheesus333]

I don't care. I'll be dead before it becomes a real problem, and the future can go fuck itself because I won't be in it.

Congratulations; you're EVERYONE in the Industrial Revolution.

I wonder if aliens have forums on which they discuss these things with people they haven't will never met/meet. 'Cause that would be a funny coincidence.

We all know what WE can do to stop global warming. Buy a solar panel, Drill for geothermal power,put up a small windmill, even put up buy a hybrid.
BUT: We can also buy totally air-powered cars, which are $3,000 less than conventional cars, and only costs 3 cents to fill up.

Also, scientists have been thinking up ingenious ways to solve this problems, From sending lenses into space to dilute the sun's rays, to making clouds shinier.

You got a solution?

No. No. No. No. Hybrids, no. Not only from the viewpoint that they suck all the fun out of driving, but environmentally. Yes they are efficient while in use, but the energy cost of creating the batteries and electronics, etc. that goes into a hybrid, and then into recycling when it outlives its usefulness is astronomical. Your average Jeep is actually friendlier to the environment in the long run, so no. No hybrids.

However, I do think we need to lessen or end our dependence on oil. There is enough wind across the great plains to power the US, the only problem being widespread distribution and infrastructure. Our distrobution networks are not efficient enough to make long distance power transfer viable, so wind, solar, hydro, wave, and even nuclear power are the way to go. All 100% clean. As for cars, I'm excited about Hydrogen fuel cells, as well as purely electric cars, as both have proven that they don't have to be boring and slow, while still being green (I so hate saying that...green...)

IT's been said that humans provide only 3% of the CO2 in the atmosphere. (7% is caused naturally by forest fires and other causes...) But switching energy sources is definitely a good idea. I say we go nuclear!

Where are we going to put the waste?

 

[curlycrouton]

Look, if we just paint all the buildings in the world white, it would all just go away. Seriously. Google it.

 

[BiscuitTrouser]

right. This water displaced by the melting ice caps needs to go somewhere right? So if i took a large amount of earth that was ORIGINALLY taken up by earth rather than water, blast it into space and fill it with water instead, this should take up all the excess water said melting would cause. This earth in question would be that really bad country. You know the one.

Also hybrids cause too much smug. Dont buy them people, dont fill the world with smug rather than smog.
