Global Warming

We need a new name. Global Climate Change or Global Temperature Change. It is a fact that slight warming of the earth can cause ice to melt and some islands and low land areas to experience a flood that will swamp or devour the land. It is also a fact that temperatures on Mars are rising also. We know that humans are putting harmful gases in the air. By reducing the amount of trees we are also not eating up the carbon dioxide and possibly cutting into our oxygen supply. Scientists seem to only say human activity is creating a warmer earth. Is this true. It does help. We do contribute. Way back when we did away with aerosol cans. Aerosols in the upper atmosphere deflect sunlight and cool the earth. Were we creating global cooling?

I think it is time we keep up with our environment. I believe in global warming. It is a fact. Earth is heating up. Many plants and animals will thrive in a warmer planet. Humans live longer and as a population, grow more during warm planet times than cold planet times. We need to take care of what we can. I think we need to create the "green energy" not for global warming, but for less oil bought from the middle east. Nuclear power and reprocessing of spent fuel rods in the US is the quickest way. Wind power can't be relied on. How many more dams can be built? If we reprocess spent fuel rods we will cut down on the nuclear waste that exist within our country. Not a bad thing at all. Many people will point to the two nuclear problems that have existed in the world. Three Mile Island and Chernobyl. Three Mile Island had a reactor meltdown, no major radiation increase was detected outside the facility. The reactor safety measures built into the facility properly contained most of the radiation. That should be viewed not as a failure, but as a milestone. Chernobyl is not the same. Radiation cloud circled the planet. It raised radiation levels in West Richland Washington where I was living at the time. The Nevada desert can be turned into a large solar energy plant. Hopefully with all the new windmills and solar energy that we are about to build birds will avoid the propellers and stay away from super hot solar panels and tubing.

One other note. Stop clear cutting land and burning of trees. Fire breathes oxygen and breathes out carbon dioxide just like humans. Trees breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen. More humans equals more carbon dioxide. We as humans produce a greenhouse gas. Trees counter it. When we burn a tree we turn oxygen into carbon dioxide. Obama has it right, but power companies will charge much more than $150 a year. We need to use less oil. When it comes to power generation we use coal and natural gas which is abundant in America. We need to change driving habits. Businesses need to allow more workers to Telecommute. Changing of driving habits will have the largest effect.
