Let us hang the bar high: We need to achieve a carbon neutral way of life10-12-2019 01:39
zeroCOtwo ☆☆☆☆☆ (2)	Hello to all the climate debaters, considering the urgency, I believe it is important to set very ambitious goals. That way the pressure for more radical technology leaps and more ambitious policies will persist. We need as many good ideas and discussions as possible to achieve a carbon neutral way of life.

Third world guy ★☆☆☆☆ (88)	Hi, zeroCOtwo: You start badly. There is no climatic urgency to consider, so there is no reason to set any ambitious and fanciful goals. Policies may be dictated - in a neurotic way - to reduce what you call 'the carbon footprint', but they will only serve to throw society's money in the trash. I feel that you have been a victim of the propaganda of nefarious people like Al Gore and the Swedish puppet (Greta Thunberg). Relax, live in peace and meditate: CO2 is a blessing and we must pay it homage. Have a good and thoughtful weekend. There are three kinds of climate change: that generated by natural factors; that generated by man; and that generated by economic interests.

We may set out to reduce CO2 emissions and end up with free energy. Would this be considered free energy? They have gotten smaller units to work. The issue has been how hot it gets. It uses tritium (H3O I think it is) to generate electricity. There is a lake in Europe that is supposed to have a 10,000 year supply of it. https://www.iter.org

We may set out to reduce CO2 emissions and end up with free energy. Of course. Since we deny the 1st law of thermodyanmics applies in the case of Global Warming, we might as well presume that it won't apply "beyond" Global Warming. I don't think i can [define it].

Greets, zeroCOtwo, check out my blog: 0co2.home.blog Does setting any goals, actually accomplish the task? Goals are meaningless, without motivation. To motivate the masses, you have to hurt them, twist some arms, tax the hell out of them. More ambitious goals, would require stronger motivation, like breaking legs, or mass murder, seizing wealth and property. Which is worse? The cure, or the charade?

No, is removing the democrat/socialist goals, so we can get back to living as we should. Ok that actually makes sense. Enforced action by a government to achieve anything is rooted in violence. But I think two "goals" that involved no arm twisting or mass murder are relvant: 1- Recycling 2- Littering People don't litter because it's considered rude, not because they'll be clubbed over the head for doing it.

Guess you've never seen a homeless camp... Or do any volunteer work, to feed the homeless. Part of the job, is to make sure and get the mess they leave cleaned up. I'm talking about the set up a tent in the park, feed the homeless. People are lazy and sloppy, not just the homeless. I don't know about nationwide, but several cities in Florida, stopped collecting recyclables at the curb years ago. The city I live in still does, but they closed down the recycle center a bout 6 blocks from my house, where you could drop off bulk paper, plastic, and cans, yard waste. Recycling isn't cost effective, people don't sort properly, and much of it goes to the landfill. China stopped buying much of it, probably wouldn't take much of it, if delivered free of charge. Vast majority need motivated to not litter, and to recycle...

HarveyH55 wrote: Guess you've never seen a homeless camp... No doubt there are still people who litter. In some countries/cultures it's common place for the average person to litter. To simply through the trash from lunch out the bus window. The reason people don't litter is because it's considered by them, and those around them, to be lame. NOT because they will suffer consequences from the law. In that respect it's a useful example of how something can be accomplished in society without government enforcement.

Follow along here ITN: In the US people litter (throw trash out there window into the street for example) far less than in some other countries due to our social values and not because you will get arrested or a $1000 fine. Sometimes people do still litter though, just far less. You see it's not about Everything or Nothing, 0 or 1, because it's the real world. The real world is about relative comparison, ranges of value, and refuses to offer purity or absolute precision. Let me see if Grover can help you out with an example: See Grover is "Near" and then he is "Far". It's in COMPARING one thing to the other that you have a RELATIVE difference between the two. Do I need to know exactly where Grover is when he is "Near" and "Far" to know that he is close in the first and further in the latter? No, no I do not.
