There is a quick simple solution to global warming and climate change. It is called Muon Catalysed Fusion. As worked on Star Scientific. NO CO2. NO Greenhouse Gases. NO Toxic Waste. The source is dueterium from the World's Oceans - virtually limitless. It is cheap to produce. WE NEED IT NOW. See the website "Star Scientific Limited", Blog "The Big Picture by Andrew Horvath", Youtube video - "In the Footsteps of Fusion"
ok i know that we should be concerned about global warming and everything but, if we burned all the fuel on the face of the earth at one time we wouldn't even do 1% of the damage that has already been done.
@dakota90994 Personally I'd like nothing better than to stop worrying about global warming, but I'm afraid the data would not be with us. Right now we're burning up 88 million barrels of oil a day - 30 billion barrels a year - and putting out (coincidentally) about 30 billion tons of CO2 per year, which is about 3 times what the earth can absorb without heating up.
@howtoboilafrog I do see your concern about global warming. I watched that documentary that you guys did on the coal burning plants and when you went to bring in the basket of coal to the CEO of that company, when he sent out the security guards and the dogs, i can tell that he knows the damage that he is doing to the world, but a small group of people isn't going to stop the company because right now its the cheapest thing to do right now.
@dakota90994 You're absolutely right that one small group of people won't stop the company - but in the case of the 2 coal-fired power plants that were planned for BC, it was just a small number of small groups that did it. They WILL do it because it's cheap even if they KNOW it's going to cause the extinction of our species...unless we push back. That's why I don't think that just growing food or taking public transit (all good things to do) are enough - we have to kick some ass too!
@howtoboilafrog i think that your entirely right, and yes i will admit maybe something someone does can in fact slow down global warming, but right at this time i think that the companies that are doing the coal fire plants wont just not build them b/c they need to make money some how and thats the way that they get their money. and if they start running out of money then we're going to lose a lot of the major companies that we need to give us the essentials.
@dakota90994 You bring up an important issue - figuring out a way to have an economy that's consistent with not destroying the planet - and it's complicated by the fact that there are other systemic problems (particularly peak oil) happening that are going to destabilize the economic system more than it already has been. The best thinking is called "steady-state" economics, where the economy doesn't have to grow to avoid collapse.
@dakota90994 The challenge is moving the economy from crazy/destructive/useless stuff to work that creates stable, resilient communities that can run on a lot less energy. From that POV, coal-fired plants are insane - distributed renewable energy is where to invest our money. Also putting up electric wires over roads for trams, for instance, rather than expensive subways - and how about building the trams and streetcars locally?
@dakota90994 Beyond that, of course, is the challenge of food security. As oil declines, industrial agriculture will stop working, and food-growing won't be done by 3% of the population anymore - so building infrastructure for urban agriculture, while we still have the oil to do it, is also crucial.
@howtoboilafrog and also i do think it is wrong that they are doing it in BC, one of the most beautiful places on earth and killing the wildlife there, b/c if they start killing the wildlife then the food chain will go out of wack and end up screwing us over in the long run in turms of food.
@dakota90994 Which by itself is both unprecedented in the history of civilization, and catastrophic, but isn't even the worst news. The worst news is that we've heated up the peat bogs, oceans and permafrost enough to start releasing the methane that's stored there - methane being 20+ times more effective at trapping heat than CO2. So in short, we need to make big changes right now of the downward variety, or you and I are going to be arm-wrestling for the last ice floe!
@howtoboilafrog you bring up a lot of good points and it was about time that i could talk to someone about my point of view without them blowing up and saying that im stupid and all of that. so i just wanted to say than you for your time.

It's already playing on Movie Central in Western Canada, and will start airing in November on The Movie Network in Eastern Canada. Working now on making sales to free TV, maybe in-flight(!), other countries, as well as working out how to get it on to DVD.
@JBroxsMyCanadianSock Hey - don't know if my reply made it back to you - it's already on Movie Central in Western Canada, starts in November on The Movie Network in Eastern Canada. More news at howtoboilafrogDOTcom as it develops!
