Has anyone here ever thought about reducing Global Warming by switching to Solar Power?

Question

Be a leader in the transition from our old electric grid to a smart, reliable, and renewable one.

Homeowners now have the opportunity for a Solar Electric System without the up-front investment.

You pay only for the electricity that is generated. What’s more, it costs the same as your electricity

service does today, but unlike your electric company, the price will stay the same for up to 25 years. To find out more go to www.jointhesolution.com/lonestarsolar

Answer 1

NO! REALLY! Now why didn't I think of that! You just saved the world!

Come on, where have you been? Half the posts in this form propose that.

Answer 2

it would not have any effect if the whole world did that ,not any more ,we would live in a cleaner place ,but Global Warming is in motion i dont think we can turn it and it is partly Natural

Global warming is a very complex collection of many effects

this text only covers some aspects of global warming ,mainly agriculture i.e.effects of deforestation and subsequent man made desertification

water and air polution such as caused by

industrial contamination ,the contaminating effects of the cities(the internal combustion engine) ,are other stories,

and all of these are also man made ,such as the high industrial chimneys pumping contamination into the clouds and the burning of tires,some of this polution has been found in the ice in the polar regions

there are natural cycles in the planets life

but a lot is influenced by mans existance ,and this is increasing with overpopulation,putting strains on Natural resources and increasing contaminations as well as destructions of essential componants the ensure living conditions for all life forms

climate change is caused in great parts by desertification ,and most desertification is caused by man

the thinner ozone layer helps to speed this up.and this is caused mainly by air polution ,also as a result of mans actions

DEFORESTATION

in the past

the Building of the Spanish Armada deforrested Spain

the Phoenician trading fleet turned Lebanon in a dessert

Ganges Khan put everything to the sword and torch, then filled the wells with sand,

the sun finished of the job and whole countries turned to wastelands.

Today ,

Slash and burn destroys the protective vegetation (which helps to form the soil ),

leaving it open to the Sun ,and then ,wind and, water erosion.

The Plough turns the soil ,killing micro-biotic life (essential to soil building) and accelerates the drying out .

Pressures of the :vehicles, cattle and rain impact brings the salt to the surface.

Mono cultures ,aided by chemicals Exhaust and pollutes the soil .

Adding to this the effects of overgrazing has resulted in large scale desertification.

and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,Farmers

are overpumping deep carbon aquifiers

and plowing more and more unstable lands going into the jungles and onto mountain slopes

expanding populations and expanding farming ,that has to keep pace with the expanding populations are very strong forces that encroach upon the rainforest's

clearing them for farming and settlement areas .

Rainforest's always are in third world countries and always in third world countries corruption and the need for money s highest

in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification and some have died as a result

,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year

and most of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not getting less ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were no desserts.

collectively this planet is drying up ,

each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss

and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,

and there are less and less farmers to do it..

Arable lands and their farms are lost all over the globe. Many farmers sons abandon farming and head for the cities.

Northern China is drying up, what once were millions of food producing people, are now hungry refugees ,running for their lives from the all consuming dust storms.

This will have a great effect on world food prices when they start buying at what ever cost, to feed their people.

The farmers that are left have to feed some 70 million more people than the year before but with less topsoil.

Over the last half century,

Population growth & rising incomes have tripled world grain demand from 640 million tons to 1,855 million

In the near future the global farming community will not be able to feed every body ,food prices will continue to rise. .

RISING SEAS

The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.

this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matter

Global warming could be slowed down to some extent,but it will mean global co operation between all countries ,and taking into account human nature and the world politics ,it is unlikely that this will happen,

At least not untill we are all in the middle of planetary disastres and it becomes a battle for the survival of humanity every where,instead of just some third world countries Source(s) here are a 100 ways to help

Answer 3

Yes of course

Answer 4

Solar panels are expensive and one person who owns a home and isn't rich, wouldn't be affordable or condusive to invest in the solar panels for energy. YOu would never see the revenue from it.. Its better for larger corp.

Answer 5

Actually I was thinking about covering someone's entire yard with solar panels (probably involves removing any trees or tall landscaping). I had been looking for a volunteer that wants to give up all of their room for my solar panels. I am glad I have heard from a volunteer. Now if we can find a few hundred million more we can have that global warming beat in this country.

Answer 6

Are you trying to sell me something?

Actually, if you really want to reduce "global warming", just get a rock hammer and start hitting. Evidence suggests that an icrease in physical weathering of rocks leads to more carbon sink, which, in turn, leads to cooler temperatures. No need to pay for something that goes away at night.

Answer 7

Yes, in fact Ebay has alot of systems available for sale at good prices. I will try this source as we are looking for dirt as two gypsy's who travelled the South Pacific waters and by air, that's me.  Not married but need to plant him somewhere if we don't work out. That's Miracle.  

Listening to Celion Christmas music. I kid you not I always believed every day should be Christmas. Solar energy is in my opinion about finding the right provider and installer. Lot's of bad guys take u for a ride....  not on a sleigh but straight into your bank account.
