If everyone who thinks global warming is going to end the earth stopped using oil, would that help?

Question

Or do they want to keep using oil and make everyone else stop? Why don't people put there money where their month is?

I like pip's idea about public healthcare.

Answer 1

I like the idea of breathing clean air.

I like the idea of Islamic radicals no longer having an income source.

Whether the the by-product of no longer using oil slows the advance of global warming gets that done or not, I don't really care, let's do it anyway.

Solar, Bio Diesel, Wave generators, Nuclear, Clean Coal, Natural Gas, etc. are all proved technologies that really do work. I don't care if the Saudis end up back at the Oasis herding goats and neither do most of them, so let's get on it.

If the planet stops warming as a result, great. If not then you have your answer.....there is nothing we can do about it but, at least we'll be breathing clean air for the time we have left and we won't have to kill dictators who want to hold us hostage with oil.

Sounds like a plan Cons and Liberals can agree on, NO?

Answer 2

wow John - a lot of people wasted their time giving you real answers.
funny that you don't even care (look at his Q & A )

Global Warming is going to "end the earth" ?? ha-ha who told you that !!

real Answer : the world is Not going to stop using oil.

using it in a smarter and .. (wait, I'm wasting to much time on you already !)

:)

Answer 3

Thermal Depolymerization (TDP) is a process which seems to be able to convert any organic material into any product now produced from oil.

Organic materials include wood, leaves, grass, food, paper, plastic, paint, cotton, synthetic fabrics, sludge from sewage, animal parts, bacteria, any carbohydrates, or hydrocarbons. These are all materials which we now send to landfill with the exception of metal, ceramics, and glass. Also included is all agricultural waste which is now burned in the fields or buried.

Products currently produced from oil include natural gas, propane, kerosene, gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, home heating oil, and lubricating oil. With further processing, plastics, paints, refrigerants, and thousands of other chemicals used in industry are produced.

So, it turns out that TDP will convert our landfill and agricultural waste into the same products which are currently produced from fossil oil. All of our existing equipment can be powered in the same way and landfill will be eliminated.

TDP is a form of solar energy. Sunlight converts H2O and CO2 into carbohydrates in living plants and also gives off Oxygen in the well know process of photosynthesis. In a completely TDP based economy the amount of CO2 produced when fuels are burned is exactly balanced by the plants grown to be used for TDP feedstock. In other words, it is a closed system, there is no net gain in CO2 levels, regardless of how much fuel we produce and burn. In fact, TDP could theoretically be used on the Moon, Mars, and maybe even to maintain a habitat during space travel to other stars.

There's still more. The amount of energy hitting the Earth is about 5000 times more than the entire amount of energy used by all human activity. Even at a 1% solar energy efficiency rate there is the potential for many times our current energy use. With optimum use and a mature TDP technology, the Earth might comfortably support 10 times its current population at a high standard of living. There is enough biomass existing now accessible on the surface of the earth to provide 100 years of human energy use.

Even more. TDP occurs under conditions of temperature and pressure absolutely guaranteed to kill all living things including any microbe or virus. In turn, diseases such as mad cow are eliminated.

TDP energy farms can be used as a habitat for other species and as recreational space for people. TDP plants can be located near agricultural waste, landfills, and markets reducing transportation cost and risk.

TDP based energy can be produced anywhere the sun shines.

Answer 4

honestly, i really believe that there's not a hell of a lot we can do either way, i think it will happen slowly so there will be ample time to prepare for whatever we have to do to adapt, but i think it would be good to cut down on these emmissions in favor of clean renewable energy over time, even if it is not a major threat to global warming it does keep the environment cleaner which is a good thing either way.

Answer 5

common sense is on the money -- it might be happen but it doesn't explain why they're trying to monopolize everything else -. e.g water - and charge everybody globally for its use.
don't believe the hype _CO2 is not a pollutant.

Answer 6

No it would not help.The situation the earth is in is pre-ordained.It has happened before!12/21/2012 will be the Finale!

Answer 7

That's like saying why don't we only make the people who support the war in Iraq pay for it... or only the people that want public health care pay for it...


silly statements, all of them.... it's just not practical.

Answer 8

I don't have to worry about my use of oil all I have to do is by Al Gore's carbon credits and it is all better.

Answer 9

Man-made global warming is a hoax invented by those who wish to control us.

Answer 10

liberals are dumbasses, glabal warming can happen but its god made (it can happen either way we use oil ect.. or not), man can never make it happen, use your oil, dont hesitate
