:''This section allows a bit more POV, speculation and questions.''


Is [[organic food]] a realistic option? I've read (can't remember the source) that the amount of [[nitrogen]] in the [[protein]] consumed by people worldwide (directly through crops and indirectly through meat) is more than can be sustained by the land without nitrogen [[fertilizer]]. This begs the questions:
* Does this assume that people continue eating as much meat as they do now?
* Does this account for the potential of [[leguminous crops]] to fix nitrogen?{{sp}}

- The most important issue with global warming (as with many environmental issues) is '''[[Human population]] x [[Standard of living]]'''. We have something over 6.5 billion people now. The world population has been predicted to peak at about 9 billion in about 2050. Most people currently have a standard of living below that of [[North America]], [[Western Europe]], and [[Japan]]. Most people want a standard of living as high as possible (not only do people in developing countries want a standard of living equal to the developed countries, but people in developed countries want an ''even higher'' standard of living.) These factors act to make reducing environmental stress (including global warming) very difficult.
<br>
The only realistic solutions are to reduce population growth as much as possible, and to reduce demand for an energy- and materials-intensive lifestyle, i.e., to convince people that a high '''[[quality of life]]''' can be achieved without high levels of consumption.

* '''All proposals for large-scale environmental alteration (e.g. release of chemicals into the oceans or atmosphere) are likely to cause collateral environmental damage (which may not be discovered until it is difficult of impossible to repair).'''
* All [[hydroelectric]] projects will cause local ecological effects -- large scale projects will cause unitary large-scale effects; multiple small projects will cause multiple small-scale effects, likely to be cumulatively as large or larger.
* ''' "Distributed generation" or other distributed technologies still have environmental effects, which in any given situation may or may not be less or "better" than large-scale generation or technologies.''' (E.g. a million wood-burning [[cookstove]]s are likely to produce a ''lot'' of pollution.) We must also keep in mind environmental effects of manufacture and disposal of distributed technologies.
''' All of which is not intended in any way to argue that small-scale/"Green"/"appropriate" technologies and measures should not be considered (I'm personally a strong supporter of them) -- but only that such technologies and measures cannot''' '''''automatically''''' '''be considered solutions, but must be analyzed just as any other potential solutions.'''

Revision as of 10:47, 13 May 2009

This page is an experiment in "issues" style content. It has begun as one person's view, but will hopefully become more informed and balanced as other contributors add information and sources. Please contribute respectfully, and don't enforce a single POV. If you delete something other than vandalism (e.g. if something's false or out of place) then it may be best to move it to the comments section at the bottom, or on the talk page.

Affordable options for fixing or reducing global warming (climate change).

Jed Fingers His Cats Bum And French Kisses it

According to the article quoted here, my boobs are bigger than laura jefferys and im a guy. jayce licked lauras ort dry =) denholm king is a donut puncher with rikard thenander. ben has a tiny doodle named theadore hahahahahhahaa. michael farmer has a weird laugh because he has swallowed to much semen and now he has throatal cancer when jed stubbs gets home after school he fingers his cats bum and french kisses it


once upon a time michael farmer was riding home when he saw ben naked and on all fours in front of him so he jumped off his bike and mounted him imeadiately then rikard came by and started to back away slowly without being seen but ben was to powerful and dragged him underneath him and it was a bit of a sausage fest actually it was a major sausage fest but then laura came along and she was all turned on and just sort of belly flopped and the gay piled and snapped of farmer and bens cock in ben and rikards ass. rikard took this chance and made a run for it (he has not been seen since). then laura flopped out her big nine incher and started sucking her self off and that has been going on for the past 1000 years as legend has it
