Environment - August 2007

I would like to take this time to thank those who have supported me with their 'thumbs up', 'stars', Votes, emails, and comments on this board.

There is an active attempt by the believers to muzzle me, as I received 15 votes for an answer I posted to a question from a believer. They have accused me of manipulating this vote.

I give you my word that I did not do anything to throw off the vote or affect the outcome in any way. My answer was chosen because of your support.

And I thank you for that.

Here are the posts in question:

I mean, all this talk of shrinking poles and the rest of it - personally I can't wait to say - "Hey, it might be December - but I'm gonna wear my shorts to work!!!".
Nature is so cool when we meddle with it.

Some people put bumperstickers on their cars, engage their friends, family and collegues into animated discussions, volunteer for the environment, or otherwise promote their "green" intentions. Others prefer to work behind the scenes, even to the point of being embarrassed by being labeled an environmentalist.

Which are you? Or are you somewhere in between?

in the 1970's, many scientists were under the impression that the weather would take a deep plunge, possibly casting us into yet another ice age. the exact opposite happened, because at the time they were not fully aware of how the climate worked. 30 years is not such a long time, how can we be so sure we're right this time?

p.s. i'm not saying we should assume global warming isn't real -- rather, i'm stating we have been wrong in the past. and even with "irrefutable evidence" or evidence that implies the current global warming trend is "very likely" caused by anthropogenic activities, we can't be certain there are unknown factors at work.

I think this is very interesting:

"within ten years, solar will undercut coal, natural gas, and nuclear by 50%...The crucial tipping point, says Evans-Prichard, is the $1 per watt point: the current price of most non-renewable energy sources. Current solar technology puts the price of solar power at about $3 to $4 per watt. Anil Sethi of Flisom foresees his thin-film solar panels reaching $.80/watt in five years, and $.50/watt within ten.

Thin film solar modules don’t use the costly, and limited, silicon that we are used to. The technology is based on CIGS (copper indium gallium selenide) arranged on a flexible backing, suitable for not only the tops, but also the sides of buildings, tinted windows, cell phones, notebook computers, cars, and even clothing."

Have you heard of this advancement in solar technology? Sounds very promising.

This is actually a rhetorical question - the answer is that they do. However, I've seen a number of people in the Environment section say that electric vehicles simply move pollution and emissions around (to wherever the power plants are).

While it's certainly true that the greener our power grid is, the greener electric cars are, even with the current US electric grid mix, electric vehicles will produce a significant decrease in total emissions. See this report for further details:

Considering this information, shouldn't we be pushing for electric vehicle research and development?

why do people keep passing laws with the purpose of prtecting us from global warming? Don't they know that global warming is just a stupid myth?

I know it sounds stupid and farfetchd but since the ice glaciers are melting, would it be possible to create a solar powered freexe ray or a something that could refreeze the melting ice to restore the effects?
