A Million Green Ideas

Question by Just_gone: Even if humans only contribute a portion to climate change, is it worth it to do what we can ?


Many European countries are taking climate change quite seriously. Some countries, such as China, present a problem, although there are pro-green public demonstrations there.
There are natural climate cycles.
Should we change our lifestyles and do what we can, in your opinion?
Whatever your beliefs, please keep it courteous.
People of different opinions are serious and well meaning.

yes. conservation is never bad. even if climate change turns out to be a bunch of crap, fossil fuels are a finite resource. most geologist estimate there is only 30-75 years worth left of it before the supply gets too low that it is no longer widely available enough to be a cheap workhorse fuel. and alternative methods really suck as is and might not be able to pick up the slack when that happens. also, fossil fuels (mainly oil) have a major impact on our economy and political relations, exhibit A the war on terror. why should we just keep wasting it so we can drive big ass SUVs that get 15 mpg? itd be nice to mandate geothermal heating in all new buildings as well as heating/cooling is one of the biggest uses of energy.

and if climate change is real, by the time it is proved it will be too late to do anything about it and we’ll have to accept the consequences, which may or may not be a big deal. frankly anyone who thinks conserving is a bad thing is an idiot, whether they beleive in global warming or not.

but you are right, it is a global thing and if one nation doesnt use it, another like china will so its going to be a tough problem to tackle

and to the guy below me that says it costs too much, i think the population of canada is like 150-200 million people…. if its costing them 1.2 billion a year to reduce their greenhouse gases 8%, thats about $ 6-7 per person per year… dinner at a fast food restuarant….

Question by dumdum: How does global warming contribute to record cold temperatures?


I really want to know because I don’t know how global warming to supposed to contribute to these shifts in the weather–thanks!
Anyone have any links? Because I know that global warming and CO2 emission is said to contribute to climate change and instability in the weather (hurricaine, blizzards, etc.). I’m just wondering about the mechanics/science behind this.

Good Question. Where I am at it is nearly freezing and it snowed on Saturday April 19. Sheesh. Now I don’t pretend to know why warm is actually cold but I’m sure a riddlin based prozac munchin scientist will be able to tell you. Now don’t go believing anything else. This is Global Warming at its finest.
Never ever question a scientist.

Answer by Helios
Just a degree hotter adds a gigantic amount of energy to the natural system overall – and when storms form, they operate with this increased energy.

Question by amour2vivant: How does Plate Tectonics contribute to Global Warming?


Can someone please help me research/understand how continental drift can contribute to global warming? I’m looking for NATURAL causes of global warming that are relative to plate tectonics.

Can sea floor spreading contribute?

Can the change in ocean currents from the movement of continents contribute to global warming?

Can mountain ranges created from continental drift contribute in anyway to global warming?

Best answer:

Answer by Speedy X
Not sure, but sea floor spreading and change in ocean currents can affect the oceans overall and might cause a change in weather pattern?

What do you think? Answer below!

am currently in college getting a degree in management because I had no idea what I wanted to do. Now, I want to help contribute, but I also want to achieve and use my management degree. I want to start a small business that will help change the world, even a tiny bit, but I am not quite sure how to achieve that. Does anyone have suggestions as to what kind of small business can help me achieve these goals? Your feedback is much appreciated. Thank you.

Hopefully, you have already studied forms of ownership.
(Sole proprietorship, LLC, corporation, . . .)

Maybe you can offer shares, or options to people who can come up with good ideas.
