How will this look int the future??

Question

http://green.yahoo.com/news/afp/20080224/sc_afp/norwayarcticenvironmentwarmingcrops.html

Instead of being concerned with the inaccurate and disproven science of global warming; couldn't this money have a larger impact on world hunger today, as opposed to some hypothetical future date.

Lastly what is the long term effect on the permafrost during the construction of this. I assume it will require heavy equipment. My guess is it will have larger impact then an oil rig; because the ability to use the excuse, that this is saving the human race, will out weigh the damage it will cause.

Answer 1

I dont know where you are getting your information that global warming has been disproved.  There is a consensus among scientists that global warming not only exists but is increasing exponentially.

Yes it is important to pay attention to our domestic issues.  Our domestic issues include jobs and health issues that could be made much better by creating green jobs in carbon-emission free energy.   This is not to mention the benefit it would have for us politically. Haven't we just gotten through spending an ungodly amount of money in a war in Iraq??  Wouldn't it have been nice to have spent all that money on our own infrastructure??   We are interested in Iraq and all the oil-rich nations because we want to assure the stability of oil reserves for our own consumption and also because we are concerned about controling the power they have due to the money they make from their oil.   Becoming green is not a sideline issue, it is central to our survival.

Answer 2

this has nothing to do with global warming. this is about preserving biodiversity in cereal crops.

Answer 3

Sorry, I don't see the doomsday vault as a measure against global warming.  The vault was first envisioned as man's last hope in the event of a full-scale nuclear war or asteroid strike decades ago.  Those in charge of the vault will be the world power in a post-apocalyptic future...not a bad investment for those governments involved.

Answer 4

I agree.  Why should we spend millions of dollars trying to stop a catastrophe that is hundreds of years away, when the same money could be saving lives right now?

Technology, clean technology is already available. The money spent by governments alone on oil would feed the world 10 times over let alone what we spend on it. US and UK governments have had this technology for 60 years ! Think of it pumps that run on magnets pumpimg water  in Africa, India, etc. Cars running on magnets, home generators running on magnets, no emmisions no pollution no cost. Also no utillity bills. We have been manipulated by governments for to long when will we wake uo.
