Global warming and the Cropper Effect. Is there a limit to the amount of heat that Earth can dissipate into space (heat sink)?

If the World Were a Village of only 100 people (by David J Smith) 22 people speak a Chinese dialect, 20 earn less than a dollar a day, 17 cannot read or write, 50 are often hungry, 24 have a television in their home.

If science solved the energy crisis using another form of stored potential energy e.g. “cold fusion”, “nuclear energy” and at the very least made sure that the other 50 had a refrigerator and the other 76 had a television would the heat produced exceed Earth's heat sink capacity?

If so, wouldn’t one solution be to stop civil advances of the less fortunate, or to simply let capacity for growth flood?

The situation might be different if the energy solution were realised from the transfer of energy (e.g. solar to electrical).

Is greenhouse is only a tactical issue. Should politicians be investigating broader strategic issues?

Sorry if the cynicism with reference to the "less fortunate" runs too deep.

Let me explain.

There is a theory that only the very most exceptional people can change without the need to change being forced upon them.

Thus, if you really care about water, use it all; let your taps run day and night. When the water stops coming out of the tap, the population will find the political will to reuse / recycle water.

Similarly, if you are concerned about petrol running out, go out and buy a V12 for yourself and all of your friends and drive it everywhere.

Repeat each popular action to excess until dead or the democratic population finds the political will to change.

In the mean time, start a political party called "the moral majority" and make every populist injurious action you can think of policy until the political will changes (i.e. accelerate or be a catalyst for the change).

I have studied your question, and you raise many issues. However, may I point you to an item of interest in New Scientist, issue dated 16Th September on global warming. It has told me things I never knew about the subject. I know it does not answer all of your questions, but I feel you will be very interested with this report. Sorry I can't be of any further help.

Global warming is not true, the environmentalist base a large amount on the amount of fuels we burn that produces CO2 they think it has increased 30% ,don't take their word go measure it. There are several things that u mentioned that is wrong,get your education and check your data that u use.
Some of the things u think is like north Korea, such a wonderful place that Communist country that has nothing but millions of people. There hospitals are near freezing ,they have almost no fuels and instead of building reactors they build atomic bombs because they cant compete.
The clear cutting of the rain forest I know first hand I lived in Ecuador where it rains 100 in per year. We made roads and drilled for oil so u could drive your car . The forest grew so fast that Texaco spent $1,000,000 per month to keep the jungle from taking the roads back.

Global warming is Real and must be attended to NOW.
So many forests have been Clear Cut, or Burned that
the Chemical balance of the Atmosphere has been
destroyed. Trees Absorb Carbon Dioxide, and Emit Oxygen which keeps the Chemical Balance. Autos emit CO2 but do not emit Oxygen. The Chemical Imbalance
of the Atmosphere must be corrected right now. This
can be corrected by Replanting Trees in our forests, and
go back to Selective cutting of trees instead of Slash Cutting by Loggers. Burned forests should be replanted
NOW. Write to your Congressman. Pass the word.

I have a problem with your sentence:
"If so, wouldn’t one solution be to stop civil advances of the less fortunate, or to simply let capacity for growth flood?"
How can you stop if we, the "fortunate ones" don't lead with a good example, in the contrary, our industry and media forces them to dream of "the good life"?!
I might as well argue: Should the "civilized world" revert to the philosophy of The First Nation People?

man made worldwide warming became consistently a political project because of the fact the scientific information is vulnerable and contradictory. The intense clergymen of the respected mythology have no credible technology to furnish so that they convey a race project to purpose and steamroller us into accepting their dogma
