Exactly. And as temperatures rise, the oceans release said carbon.
fatslob-:O said: Producing ethanol through biological means is hardly financially viable either. At that point electric vehicles become more attractive but we won't even have enough lithium reserves so that every family will be able to have one ... |
Ethanol was just the example.
There are other fuels we can make like Bio-Diesel using Algae. (In-fact there is such an enterprise just up north from me.)
There is also Carbon capturing and binding the carbon with hydrogen to make fuel.

fatslob-:O said: Define "exponential" ? Is it with respect to the temperature increases or CO2 levels ? If it's the former, nobody is measuring temperature increases "exponentially" even if CO2 levels are increasing exponentially, at best temperature increases will be linear in that case ... If CO2 levels are increasing linearly then temperature increases will be "logarithmic" ... |
I already have.
But for every 1c in temperature rises associated with the green house effect, the more CO2 is released from our Arctic regions and the oceans.
There will reach a point where there will be a large associated jump.
fatslob-:O said: The vast majority of politicians we see today go against science. The political right is an offender in all sorts of areas (climate/abiogenesis) while the political left is a massive offender in biology. (particularly studies regarding genetics) It's all too laughable that liberals will combat theoconservatives with the basis of evolution but when someone more educated about the subject themselves try to educate them on the "consequences" or "ramifications" it has especially on human populations they are in absolute denial about it undermining the principles of evolution itself. It's OK to cross lines with theoconservatives but apparently it's somehow too sacred to apply it to humans in which case even the neo-nazi's are sadly more scientifically correct than them in that specific area ... |
They are both as bad as each other.
Don't regret being a centrist at all.
fatslob-:O said: You also see the Green's being devout anti-nuclear energy ... |
Yeah this legitimately annoys me. It's stupid.
We don't have any Nuclear power here at all... Yet it is green, plentiful... And we have a stupidly massive amount of Nuclear energy potential buried under our feet.
