13047996, these are economic, not scientific questions Posted by akon, Sun Jul-24-16 12:54 PM
and its widely recognized that its not one thing that will address climate change, but multiple things and we also recognize that some of the things we try will not be successful and we'll have to learn from mistakes
>Is hydrofracking a contributor to global warming and should we >be investing in it?
there's no question about moving away from fossil fuels-however they are being extracted- the (economic) feasibility of doing this within this time-period is the issue
>Is natural gas actually safer than current CO2 emissions or >does it accelerate the issue?
i dont know what this means natural gas is preferred because it emits far less CO2 than coal. reducing CO2 in the atmosphere is pretty much the goal
>Is the temperature at the poles rising warmer a serious >concern regardijg how too far gone we are in need to have >acted YESTERDAY?
i dont understand this question. what? can you provide a link to this?
>Is rising water levels a threat to societies in vulnerable >areas and could result in massive population displacement?
i dont think this is a question- there are numerous instances where we see societies already affected by this. where did you read that its not a threat?
>Is drought more or less of a threat than ISIS?
what? this is not a scientific query. i don't even know how these are linked where did you see this qn raised?
>These are some of the considerations out there that people >think are still up for debate.
please post a few links of these claims- cause i'd like to know where these questions are coming from these are not questions among climate scientists, or environmentalists.
>The way we are headed >as a country clearly consider these this not an emergency, so >we should probably punch almost everyone in the face.
im all for this.
