Basically nowadays people don't get enough exercise and many pay to exercise. If we could offer people free exercise and at the same time a way to help their communities would they do it? What I am proposing is using human power to turn turbines to create some energy. I know it wouldn't be a lot of energy but the benefits would be more than the energy produced. Imagine a place in a city where people interested in exercising could go and join a group of other people doing laps walking or running pushing a wheel. For the wheel to turn everyone would have to help out. This could be done in schools too. Kids to get a half hour of exercise a day turning the wheel. Okay it is a bit crazy. But could anythign like this actually work? Could enough energy be created by a school wheel to provide lighting for the school?

Hawaii, out of all of the states, has the ability to use the most alternative energy sources. they have geothermal energy and they have huge 20 foot waves that they can use as energy. Yet they are still 92% dependent on fossil fuels . tell me how that makes sense. they could save tons of money and their pretty beaches if they switched to alternative energy.

Hello:)

What data supports the idea that Global Warming is caused

by humans with big consequences for the environment??

Can you please give me detailed and convincing evidence?

P.s. Please don't write about that human is not the cause of global warming. I just want to know about my question.

Why then are we not going after the rising concentrations of these gases, and ONLY working to contain CO2?

In fact, I have not seen any data on the rises of these potent gases, far more potent than CO2, and the relation to "Global Warming" in the Consensus reporting. Or other Global Warming info either.

Were they present in the MWP?

And some mention rises in the CO, which again I have not seen listed as a "Greenhouse" gas nor data on its alleged rise in concentration, compared to the Global Temperature.

Finally, if the ejecta into the atmosphere of a nuclear war, the dust, would cool the earth, and that has been shown in major volcanic explosions, why would not the push recently to clean up smokestacks and other sources of particulate matter added to the atmosphere not be causing a vast warming effect as the short wavelengths of heat radiation can better reach the surface of the earth and be trapped?

Could it be our "problem" is not too much CO2, but too little dust in the air??
