Fearful to hear the truth? Global warming is man-made

furb SG

What's new? We hear this ample of times, whether is it through edcation or through news. The problem is man is not fearful of it until it really strike them, thus nothing is changed.

Yea true, we will perish soon before global warming even strike us. Laughing

Darkness_hacker99 SG

no they dont.

Darkness_hacker99 SG

I rather spent all my allowance for "Global warming is due to man, and a solution for it" debate than anyhow spent.

Lowclassman SG

On one hand LKY warn us of Global warming...On the other hands...Transport ministers allowed lowering of COE ''due to market force'' Mr. Green and Bank loans for COE resulted more cars on the roads.

Our GOD is concerned with Earth environment.....and yet he did nothing for growing of vechicles population.

So...what you guys see here?

the Bear SG

strangely, the way to go is to go Nuclear...

it negates carbon emissions

Bontakun SG

Cold fusion. That is what a friend of mine said. Using hydrogen and oxygen, the byproduct is water. Neutral

the Bear SG

your friend doesn't know what he's talking about...

fusion is the nuclear reaction where 2 atoms fuse to become a new element..

usually it's hydrogen isotopes because they are the smallest atoms around

Herzog_Zwei SG

Bear not lazy, Bear is intelligent... Mr. Green

While cold fusion looks interesting and might be the solution to the problem, it's very immature and risky to rely on a technology that hasn't been perfected. It's easily 30 to 40 years away from being commercially viable, in that timeframe, the environmental damage will be too great to undo.

For all we know, cold fusion might never become viable.

I always believed and wanted to say this:

Hundreds of Millions of years from now, a new inhabitant of this planet of ours we call Earth, will be digging up our dwellings like we dug up the ruins and remains of prehistoric man.

Even if you and I are both no longer here to attest to what I just said, I strongly feel that it will come true.

We are as primitive as the Dinosaurs, we are not different from them due to our nature of violence, killing, and plundering of Earth.

We will DEFINITELY end...

i was told that tokyo never snow leh Shocked

Bontakun SG

Oh? Hmm...

Fingolfin_Noldor SG

Cold Fusion is currently hot air, though there are some interesting phenomena being investigated, like the case where water is bombarded symmetrically by sonic waves and light is observed. The processes behind it aren’t clear and are mere speculation.

nismoS132 SG

it does. just not as much as in other areas. too much central heating in the city.

EarthWalker SG

I'm so glad im not the only who think this is so urgent.

I have tonnes of information on my hand to share.

But in the end, those concerned incl myself, have limited power to change.
What i'm thinking is that we should pressure our government and media to
do something about this.

U may think Spore is insignficant:
but according to some reports,
Singapore is top 10 CO2 emitters per capital.
http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/env_co2_emi_percap-environment-co2-emissions-per-capita

Quite unbelievable.
Morever, our 'model' is often copied to other developing nations,
eg vietnam.

Global warming is the responsiblilty of every industrialised nations.
We ought to do something.

googoomuck SG

· Reduce usage of wood products.
Trees and plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by photosynthesis and releases oxygen as waste product.
· Replant trees.
Plants, and for that matter, trees can potentially grow up to twice as fast in conditions where extra CO2 is available.

F.raon.I.R SG

i vote this for thread of the month-feb

Lowclassman SG

nuclear reaction = (Xy + Bg + C3 x Zp) / Peepee + N2zch + xy * abcdefghijklmnopqrxtuvwxyz Mr. Green

chiabaliao SG

Worse than that. They are not interested in pushing for clean alternative energy resources for fear of losing the diesel tax. They can't even decide on how to encourage hybrid vehicles - give rebate on the left hand and take it back with tax on the right hand. All are money face elites.

livspore2006 SG

This Global Warming thing affects everyone. So shall we do our part not to contribute to it by going environment-friendly? Or is the individual contribution too insignificant compared to the companies or the nations?

Let's examine the impact closely by going environment-friendly:

We reduce the use of air-con
We reduce the use of cars/buses/taxis/mrt
We abolish animal farms
We go vegetarian (bcos it takes a lot of food to feed your kobe beef, chicken, fish or any animal than to feed a human)
We cannot allow the motorised boats to go deep-sea fishing bcos it polutes the ocean
We hunt for our own animal food
We reduce the use of any form of environment-unfriendly chemicals: eg. plastics, cosmetics, etc
We need politicians with the political will to set environmentally-friendly laws
We need businesses with the will to go environmental-friendly

Hmmm.... now what is the cost to the current society? Can we bear to leave our social comforts to some very basic living so that our future generations survive?

It looks very much like what the ST article reporting on the Hawaiian actor, Jason Scott Lee live!

Everyone seems to say that the temperature will go up but did anyone realise that the smoky gases that we emit may also block out the sun and cause temperatures to fall? This was what exactly happened more than 100 yrs back in Europe with the mini-Ice Age in the middle of the Industrial Revolution where too many people and companies were burning coal...

Yup, nowadays we hv managed to reduce the soot from the coal burning but did not manage to reduce the rest of the gases going into the atmosphere. Global Warming is here.....
