Violator Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 The Earth has grown tired of the hairless apes that plague her. Look for an increase in all extreme weather patterns as Mother Nature goes about her trimming of the fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish⑦Canuck Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 The environment will be fine...Earth has been here for 4 billion+ years. It's humans that are fracked. The earth will go on, but we are ensuring that we don't. And we're dragging everything we can down with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William_Clarkson Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) One thing we could do is make a transition to nuclear power. It does have problems, but it would reduce a lot of carbon dioxide emissions. Solar or wind would be better long term for the environment, but nuclear would be more reliable for the time being.

Thanks for the link and ...........Ok wow ? Northern Alberta and Sask are ablaze as well lots of smoke in Calgary today.

Nuxfanabroad Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Had to bump, the overwhelmed planet is taking ever more abuse. Appears Mother Nature is takin' the gloves off:Cat 5 Hurricane Patricia is barreling towards the west coast of Mexico(La Manzanilla). Reported winds in 220+ mph-range. Apparently the biggest hurricane(western hemisphere) ever. For those so inclined, prayers for the people of Mexico are certainly in order. Then across the Pacific, there are those devastating forest fires in Indonesia. Recommend RobertScribbler's blog, it's the top story. Sure would be nice if the MSM tried to keep the public informed on important matters... edit-spell Edited October 23, 2015 by Nuxfanabroad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Before rising seas, increasing hurricane strength is a major economic concern. We're going to need to develop the tech to dissipate hurricanes in pretty short order.Cloud seeding with chemicals is possible today.Cloud seeding with lasers is coming. http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/24/tech/laser-cloud-seeding-mci/And this is just the start. For now you can see the direct and forceful justification for climate change action on your nightly news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 In answer to your original question Nuxfan, I think many people have a sense of futility when it comes to Climate Change. We might recycle and conserve, take the bus instead of the car, (or walk if possible) yet still wonder if it has much of an effect in the grand scheme of things.While we a average citizens do what we can, we see powerful multinational corporations spend massive amounts of money to maintain the status quo, or at the very least, to elect governments that view action on Climate Change as they do: an impediment to "progress", which is a euphemism they like to use that translates into an impediment to them making money.At least here in Canada, we can say that we did something positive. (and hopefully something that will have more far-reaching effects than taking our cans and bottles to the recycling depot) We ousted the party that was going out of it's way to muzzle the scientific community and replaced it with the party led by the guy with the nice hair. Hopefully, Justin is "ready" to do something significant to try and slow down the pace of Climate Change and mitigate it's effects.@Riffraff: Another option would be to replace your current fridge and give it to someone who's fridge really does need to be replaced. That's recycling as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Are you? You think it's obvious that it is in our best interests to artificially manipulate the weather??Would you rather have hurricanes of ever-increasing strengths rip up our coastlines, where most of our people are living?btw, we are already artificially manipulating the weather. It's been a long-term effort that has resulted in a worsening of it. Now we need to go all the way and control it for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That assumption is false.In the very least we should be able to cancel hurricanes before they start. I don't think you'll find anyone being pro-hurricane.
