jaws Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Ok, so lets say you don't believe man has contributed to global warming, I guess that is fine. However, why can't we just get on track with clean energy (development and research), reduce consumption, and find a way to be less dependent on materials that litter the earth? I like having a clean environment and I like to think that I don't want my trash to be someone else's problem. Everyone wants to consume more and more but they don't want the trash to pile up in their backyard. 2 1 Link to comment

Pretty much everything people want to do to slow down climate change also reduce health problems that are caused by pollution. It doesn’t matter if climate change is real. Our health is already being harmed by the same things that are said to cause it. Link to comment

Even if current fuel means aren't destroying our environment, they won't last forever. So why wouldn't you want to switch to renewable energy? 3 Link to comment

Is that true? out of the next 10 days or so it looks like only one day is over 82...(Sydney, that is) I guess I always thought it was much warmer in most parts of Australia. I have never been but I would love to go visit. Link to comment

Of course! But there are a lot of countries that can't afford anything other than the dirtiest of coals. It sucks but it is true. Link to comment
