Questions for Climate Change Alarmists
Climate change, carbon footprint, environmental protester,
and many other terms are used these days for environmental issues. I for one,
am not a believer in all this climate talk. That is not to say our climate is
not changing, it is. I simply don’t buy into destroying our economy and
starving ourselves to death to save an environment that has been around for
longer than we have according to the same scientists who now declare we will be
the end of the world. Sorry, but they have been predicting the end of the world
since longer than any of us as been around, and yet we are still here. Remember
Y2K? We as humans are so self-centered and like to think more of ourselves than
is deserved. That is exactly what taking the credit for everything that is
happening in the world is an example of. We want to take credit for storms and
the weather? We want to take credit for icebergs melting? What then was the
cause of the Ice Age? What then was the cause of the Great Flood? What then was
the cause of the Ice Age shifting to our current temperatures and climate? The
Earth has been adjusting its own climate for its entire existence. Give credit
where credit is really due. Whether you believe in God or not. Either give credit
to God, Allah, Mother Nature, or whatever god or figurehead your faith or lack
of faith demands credit. We are not the ones solely responsible for all of
this, that is giving ourselves far more credit than we deserve. We need to take
care of the planet sure, recycle, reduce our footprint, stop littering, etc. Take
care of nature and the animals of the Earth, yes, 100%!!!!!! Stop and think
about it though, answer the following questions.
You have a job, right? And at that job what do use?
Power
tools? Takes energy to make
A vehicle?
Takes energy to make, and energy to run. Operate, and maintain, with no really
safe way of recycling without again using energy
A computer?
Takes energy to make, use, and maintain. No real safe way to recycle without
using energy
A cellphone?
Takes energy to make, use, and recharge. Recycling again takes energy
Manual
tools? Takes energy to make
Furniture/desk?
Takes energy to make, disposal not good for the environment
Money? Takes
energy to produce
Basically,
it comes down to the majority of things you use at work, will take energy that
is bad for the environment to produce, use, operate, and recycle (if they even
get recycled)
You own a home, right?
What do you think was used to
build that home? Tools, wood, plastics, metals, etc.
What went into making the
tools/supplies used to make that house? “Dirty Energy”
How much energy/battery power
went into making that home you love?
How do you heat/cool that house?
You use power in your house as
well?
You own a cell phone?
You own a TV?
You own a computer?
You own a stereo/speaker?
Any electronic you use, has so
much energy used to make that product, operate that product, and recycle that product.
The batteries in your products are the same issue, but worse. In batteries the
materials used to make those batteries, often come from countries where they
work people to death to gather these materials, including children who are
severely abused during their shortened lifespan.
You watch movies, or listen to
music? How do you think these movies and this music gets produced? Well it
takes a tonne of power, energy, battery use, fuel, flights, computers, cellphones,
tools, etc.
You eat food, right? Well think about all the fuel, tools, vehicles,
travel, often chemicals, etc, that all goes into seeding/growing, harvesting,
raising and shipping. The same can be said for turning these products into the
food that we actually eat.
You ever eat out at a restaurant? Well you run into the same
problems. Energy, waste, power.
How do you get where you want to go?
Drive or take public
transportation? These all take so much power and energy to operate, maintain, produce,
and recycle.
Fly? Well heck how terrible is
flying on the environment?
Walk? Well think about what it
took to make those shoes/boots/sandals you wear on your feet
You wear clothes?
How much energy did it take to
make that clothing?
How much energy did it take to
make the materials?
What happens to the clothes once
you have finished with them? Even if you donate them, they still eventually end
up in a landfill
For those who claim that wind power and solar power are far
better for our environment, have you looked at the actual output? Neither of
these forms of energy production, can support a network. They produce far less
energy than what it takes to make the product. Getting rid of wind towers is a
feat in and of itself. They end up digging huge trenches/holes to bury the
towers, since there is no way to recycle the product.
Do you enjoy sports/games/hobbies?
How much
energy do you think went into producing the equipment you are using for this
enjoyment?
My point is this. Climate alarmists scream about how awful carbon
is for the environment. Scientists who speak against this are silenced and
shamed by mainstream media, yet there are thousands of scientists around the
world who are in opposition. Is this to say that the climate is not changing?
No. The environment is changing, this however may very well be a natural cycle
of the Earth, much like the Ice Age replacing tropical temperatures, followed by
a melt in most areas of the world. Now we see temperatures rising again in many
areas, but that does fit in with the natural cycles we have seen before, cycles
that man is not responsible for, if you follow the scientist’s timelines. Did
the dinosaur poop produce enough carbon to destroy their climate? I jest but
seriously, it is pretty arrogant to give humanity do much credit for this.
Humans, despite common thought, are not at the center of everything in the
universe.
If you are going to be a Greta Thurnberg, then perhaps you
need to get rid of every single product you own, go naked, walk barefoot, learn
to swim across the ocean, stop using electronics, live on the street, stop
entertainment/hobbies, don’t eat, don’t go to a job, don’t live in a house, or
even shelter yourself if you are homeless. Basically, if you want to make no
negative impacts on the environment, perhaps you should just stop breathing,
for you are putting out carbon dioxide, and wasting our planet’s oxygen. Just lay
down and die, sorry no burial or cremation, for this would have a negative impact
on the environment, due to the energy used to accomplish either goal. Heck you
can’t even get your morning cup of coffee, either at home, work, or on the way
to work, without having impacted the Earth negatively in some way. No carbon
tax is going to solve these problems.
We DO need to take care of the environment and minimize the
damage that we inflict. We need to work to repair the damages, and prevent
them. Recycling, tree planting, gardening, composting, are all useful and necessary.
Finding ways of having less-negative impacts, and more positives, including in our
industries and economy. It is impossible to have no impact, and for everything done,
there will be energy and power used; carbon produced. We do need to clean up our
act, but the protests and environmentalist suggestions, only work in an ideal
perfect world, not our fallen, imperfect world. We need to find better methods
of living on our planet, be considerate, but we still need to live. Stop, think
about your actions, but don’t destroy livelihoods over it. After all, it is
ironic that these environmental protest camps leave a tonne of refuse behind,
which takes a lot of time, work and effort to clean up, and the ones cleaning
up are not even the protesters. Many protesters are actually paid to be there,
they don’t even care about the cause, and you can bet they flew and/or drove
there. Organization is always done by phones and computers. Just think about
that the next time you complain about our impact on the environment. What are
you, yourself, doing that takes energy? And what went into making those
products you so enjoy or take for granted? Be considerate of the environment,
but stop and think about the people of this planet as well. Think of their
jobs, food, shelter, and need to be safe. Don’t destroy economies as we see
happening. Don’t implement useless taxes against carbon usage. Use your brain,
use common sense. Think for yourself, don’t go to Greta and her bankrollers to
get information. Don’t believe everything scientists preach at you. Do your own
research, and research multiple views, that way you can formulate an educated,
well-rounded, opinion. An opinion that is your own, based on information from
all angles. Don’t be a sheep. The most dangerous thing in our world is an
educated person.
