The human race is gaming on CO2 reduction as thats all they have and they began that back in the mid 1990's. Solar and Wind could be an effort in futility based on this thread but what else can they do other than taking out a billion people. Lets eliminate cars, farts, food, planes, trains and everything else. I am getting off point but all adds fuel to the "conspiricy"
How do you explain the global warming on Mars then? Not enough human made trash to make the environment change there yet.
Clomate change is a cyclical change in long-term weather. Not some doomsday that we caused or can stop.
I am all for cleaning up the environment but solar, wind, and electric vehicles are not the one size fits all answer.
Solar panels need more mining to get the materials to make them. They are black. This increases the heat locally around them. This heats the environment not reduse the heating. They drip toxic metals into the ground beneath them as they degrade in the rain.
Each wind turbine takes over 120 tones of coal to make. Again more mining. Wind farms are not easily recyclable. Funny how the best way is to burn them to make more materials for more turbines. Not to mention the damage to wildlife by the spinning blades and infrasound emitted by their operation.
Electrical vehicles for the masses are nowhere near ready to replace all vehicles. They also require lots of mining to get materials for the batteries and other components. There is no power source available to charge them yet. Probably won't be until there is a release in a breakthrough in fusion power. Then we can talk electric vehicles for everything.
Is all this mining is good for the environment in your opinion? I don't think it is.
Again, it only looks good on paper. So why are we destroying the planet trying it? Politics, the politicians want to get rich while they are looking like they are doing something good. There is no other reason for forcing solar, wind, and EVs on the populas. It is not helping.
Does anyone know the minimum safe distance of ignorance?
