Climate Change

Question

From 1900 we have been using up tons of carbon, enough to threaten the planet. The explanations below describe more about habits that are crucial to stop.

1. Fossil Fuels for substances for Electricity and Heat have gone beyond the limit. Turn to SolarPower or WindPower to give up a majority of your carbon footprint.

2. Diesel or Petrol modes of transportation, such as cars, and also including hot Kerosene, such as planes, should be converted to a clean source of  Electricity.

3. Manufacturing should be reduced in areas, which also keeps animals who live in forests in their homes. Manufacturing is a big villain in the world of clean climate.

4. Another big source of Greenhouse Gasses is livestock. Do not eat meat such as beef, and to sell, farms must sell vegetables only.

5.  Burning other fuel such as wood is a climate villain. Do not work at a wood logging camp or burning camp.

6. Work industries add tremendously to carbon. Cement and Aluminum are big anti-climate control bullies.

7. Logging, as I stated before, should be ended. Rainforests trap tons of carbon. Cutting them down releases carbon.

8. Gas flares make 5% of carbon emissions.

9. Landfills produce methane, making 3% of emissions.

10. Ships and Planes tied internationally contribute 3% to carbon.

Answer 1

1. Do you know how expensive solar panels are? Very.

2. Sorry, not everyone can afford a Tesla either.

3. What kid owns a manufacturing company in order to change that?

4. Hate to say it, but vegans will not save the planet. Also, you are aware that that is because of methane, of which one source is from animal digestion. In other words, living cow=more methane. Dead/eaten cow=less methane.

5. Ah, so after the recent Midwest derecho, everyone should have just left the fallen trees on the roads? Car crashes aren't very good.

6. Still, what kid has any effect on that?

7. While I definitely support planting trees for many reasons, trees do die either way, and they will still release carbon, albeit slower.

8. Gas flares, because every kid knows what that is and has control over them.

9. Okay, yes, the three R's, but landfills and still gonna be there releasing gas. Also, I very highly doubt that everything in your house right now, including your house, is recyclable. So I'm sure you still have garbage anyway.

10. Are those open yet? Coulda swore that COVID shut them down, didn't think they were up again yet. And still, most people, other than rich people who can afford flights everywhere, only really go internationally someplace to visit relatives, move, or other reasons. Yeah, occasionally there are vacations, but what kid goes up to their parents and tells them to get on a flight to Paris? Sounds kinda snobbish.

 

While I do agree with the fact that the earth needs help, people won't save it unless humanity goes the way of the dinos. Until then, there will always be people making things worse. Plus, the earth has gone through several different periods. We're in an ice age, and after every ice age, there is global warming and then it cools to an ice age and so on. No matter what, it will eventually happen, whether it's 20, 50, 500, or 500,000 years from now is what people have a difference in, but eventually, we will all die.

Comments

1. Not needed. Just get energy from wind power or dams.

2. Just get a hybrid non-lux car.

3. Talk to your parents.

4. Just quit farming and enter some other company when you grow up.

5.  Did I ever say that?

6. Tell parents to not work in such jobs.

7. Dead trees can release carbon, but trees live for thousands of years.

8. Gas Flares are not needed to operate

9. When you need to throw trash that is recyclable, recycle.

10. COVID will not be out for long as Biden will make more vaccines. Just do not travel too much and Scientists will make new methods of cleaner flight.

We were in a ice age but now we are in a heat age. Volcanoes work to our well, but without the help of us the planet will have the next mass extinction. While Some may not care for the planet, many of us do, and it is a time to put aside out differences and work for a better planet. And there will be a next mass extinction, but we can postpone it severely.

We aren't in a heat age. I've found contrasting information, and some say we're in an ice age, others say interglacial. 

Otherwise, in a lot of your points, you act as though money is made from thin air. Parents work as hard as they can at whatever job they can in order to support their families. A lot of times, they don't get to simply pick their job. You'd be surprised how many adults hate their job but go through it anyway just to put food on their table. And they don't have money to be on special diets either, they buy what food is cheap and can sustain them. Oftentimes, this is meat and instant things. No parent, especially a good parent, will quit their job just because their kid asked them to. It's more important to the parent to have enough income to buy food rather than be broke trying to get and sustain a cleaner job. And if some families are doing good just to have a roof and food, they aren't going to buy some fancy new electric car and new energy system, even if it is good for the environment. It wouldn't be a good idea. And farming is a good job to have, we need farmers. Without farmers, everyone would be starving and naked, because where do your clothes and food come from? And even factory jobs and plastics are important too. The computer or phone or tablet you have has plastic. A lot of things in your house right now are plastic or metal. Maybe wood. And I do encourage that whenever you cut trees down, plant more, in fact, plant 2-5 for every tree cut down, but trees still need cut down so that people can have houses and furniture. 

 

I'm not against you, nor am I supporting global warming. I'm just saying that a lot of these things you suggest not everyone can do. A lot of these cost money and resources people don't have. If everyone could live in happy la-la land where money is never an issue, fine, everything could work just fine, but in families where money is an extreme issue, 

Answer 2

But how can we get people to save the earth?

It's easy: We can do our part. Buy solar panels to convert sun's rays to electricity. This also includes for EVs, plugging into a solar or wind powered area, such as your house if there is solar. Reduce as much meat-eating as possible. And talk to people about the 10 goals.
