We all know that energy from the sun is required for sustaining life on earth. The outer atmosphere deflects approximately 30% of the sunlight that comes to the earth and this light is then scattered back in space. Remaining sunlight reaches the surface of the earth and gets reflected upwards in the form of slow moving energy known as infrared radiation. Greenhouse gases absorb the heat caused by the infrared radiation like CO2, water vapor, methane and ozone, due to which it becomes difficult for the gases to escape the atmosphere.
According to experts, only 1% of the earth’s atmosphere is made up of greenhouse gases and these gases regulate the climate through heat trapping. This is known as the ‘greenhouse gas effect’. According to climate change experts, without the greenhouse gas effect, the average earth temperature will be colder by 30 degrees Celsius. This temperature will be too cold for the sustenance of our ecosystem. Therefore, the greenhouse effect is very much required for the earth; however it must be in a controlled manner.
How are we contributing to the greenhouse effect?
There is no doubt that the greenhouse effects is required for the ecosystem but it becomes a problem when the natural process gets distorted and accelerated by human activities and more greenhouse gases are created in the atmosphere which increase the temperature of the earth more than required. When we burn oil, coal, natural gas and gasoline the level of CO2 increases in the atmosphere. The level of harmful gases like nitrous oxide and methane also increases due to farming methods and changes in the use of land. Dangerous and long lasting industrial gases are produced from factories. These gases don’t occur naturally yet they contribute to global warming and speed up the greenhouse gas effect.
The more greenhouse gases will be emitted in the environment, the more infrared radiation will be trapped and held. This in turn will increase the temperature of earth in a gradual manner, posing threat to the existence of mankind. Some scientists accept global warming as a serious issue while some don’t. But one certainly can’t deny the fact that climate change is here and it will cause more damage in the coming years.
Ray Charles can see that you are canadian.
what talking points are you refering to. I simply stated that you have no clue what you are throwing out of your mouth… Keep sucking off your government but the sad thing is your people and hard earned tax money are paying for lazy fucks cause they think someone owes them something… P.S your health care sucks!!!
Well, for starters that “P.S. your health care sucks” makes you sound like Sean Hannity’s parrot. He states it and you idiots believe it. Our healthcare is fucking awesome and it’s something most Canadians are very proud of. Even conservative Canadians.
Then correlating Obama with Communism is another Fox News talking point. You are an absolute fucking moron if you think Obama is a Communist.
Lastly, where the fuck do you get Nazi from? Oh yeah….FOX NEWS.
Idiot. Go kill yourself.
So Obama hires lobbyists, die-hard communists, radicals and Alinsky-ites in his administration, and we have to ignore all that and bash Fox News and Alex Jones instead? Look at who these people are, where they come from, not what the media lapdogs say.
Communism DOESN’T look great on paper. Anyone with half a brain can understand why it will never work. Free markets is not some grand plan to solve all the problems of society which is good in theory but can never work, it’s man’s default mode of exchange. The kind of regulations you want look great on paper, but in reality, they are used by the biggest corporations to keep the little guys out. That’s their dirty little secret, the regulations you fight for are exactly what they want.
that’s what happens in a socialist system, everyone believes the government is supposed to take care of people.
A monopoly is a single company that provides a service. If you have more than one, it’s not a monopoly. The “private sector” is not a single entity, it works with different rules than the government which just prints money and puts us all into debts. The government is the only monopoly I see here. But you have no problem with government being a monopoly on the initiation of force against innocent people, right?
I thought that way too once… open your mind, try these ideas on… look at youtube user stefbot he has really good arguments against the coercive state and for a more open-source, competition welcome state of society.
Marx said it was necessary for communists to kill the lesser races and classes which would never evolve to the soviet man’s level. That looks great on paper to you? Using communism’s failures as a way to bash free markets is really absurd. Free markets are what you have when noone imposes anything, communism needs to be imposed.
I’ll check out stefbot’s videos tomorrow, but it’s not so much your ideas I’m against, it’s the reality of those ideas. Much like Communism, it looks great on paper, but runs into inevitable problems.
Just for the record, we agree on personal freedom and competition. We just differ on how to get there.
