Renewable energy is energy produced from sources like the sun and wind that are naturally replenished and do not run out. Renewable energy can be used for electricity generation, space and water heating and cooling, and transportation (Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy).

Climate change is a natural occurrence and shouldn't be shoved down our throats about how it'll end the world in x amount of years when it still hasn't really done anything.
@9WZXYSY2yrs2Y
Certainly, climate change is a occurs naturally as multiple forces contend on the surface of the planet, as well as above and below the surface. The human species has terraformed a majority of the land surface of the planet and measurably altered a significant portion of the water. Our impact is so great that our glowing metropolises can be seen from space. It is impossible that we have not become a powerful force that impacts the planetary climate and thus contributes to climate change. Therefore, why would that same human species, now aware of its global impact, not also take steps to mitigate any negative consequences we have caused?

Renewable energy is not a consistent or reliable energy source yet. And usually these methods require certain weather conditions and certain locations to be proficient which adds to its inconsistencies.
@V0t1ngJackrabbitGreen3yrs3Y
I understand your concerns, but I wanted to share that innovative solutions are being developed to tackle these challenges. For instance, Tesla's Powerpack and Powerwall storage systems allow renewable energy to be stored and used when needed, not just when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. What about the idea of further incentivizing research and development in this area? Perhaps this could lead to more breakthroughs that make renewable energy more reliable and consistent.

If politicians and these globalists really believed in climate change and wanted to do something about it they would quit flying around and their big jets quit driving SUVs and quit living in mansions that use massive amount of electricity they are nothing more than hypocrites that think they have the right to tell the peons how to live PS God's in charge of the climate not the politicians or the elites
“they are nothing more than hypocrites that think they have the right to tell the peons how to live PS God's in charge of the climate not the politicians or the elites”
I agree that a lot of politicians are hypocritical when it comes to issues, especially climate change. However, to slow global warming and save our planet, we need societal, not individual change. Unfortunately, politicians are the best candidates for changing our society. I'm also not going to be having religious discussions on this, but in the Bible, God did give humans free will, so how do we know that God is going to help with climate change? Better to put your trust in people that we at least know exist.

The earth has gotten hotter summers each year. Sea levels are rising. Coral is bleaching everywhere due to the heat of the sun because our ozone barrier is depleting.
And clearly, it's all because of gas-powered cars and cow farts, and all it takes to solve these grave problems is surrendering our liberty to the weather gods on Capitol Hill. After all, you dumb conservatives, it's not like we're orbiting a giant, flaming ball of gas exploding with the strength of one million nuclear bombs every second, that regularly changes in intensity. It's not like we just emerged from what climatologists call a "little ice age" of multiple centuries and are now getting back to "normal" temperatures for the surface of the earth.… Read more
@9RXST4G 2yrs2Y
Ahhh, The Little Ice Age an event that magically occurred then ended in coincidence with the Industrial Revolution. Damned conservatives with their empirical evidence. Oh, how I hate their vampiric powers to coax NASA and every astrologist to report false data on the irradiance of the sun to be within the normal levels. What I can't bear is their fabricated graphs showing increased CO2 levels in our atmosphere, graphs which are backed by independent meteorologists (paid off, of course, using their vast corrupt riches).

Animals such as polar bears and penguins are moving farther and farther south due to the icebergs melting and are suffering because of it.

Antarctica is melting more and more every day. Polar bears have no glaciers to walk or live on any longer and are drowning. The air pollution is insane in most southern states. Hurricanes in California are not normal. The Earth's temperature is supposed to increase, but not at the immense rate it is currently increasing.
@9F8DL4B3yrs3Y
Florida has been getting increasingly hotter every single year. Glaciers are melting. Natural disasters are worse, these are facts, and it doesn’t make sense for someone to not see these things that are happening. If you don’t belied in climate change, fine. But admit something is being done and humans are at the center of it.

@9F7NLW83yrs3Y
We have only lived on this earth for 190,000 B.C.E which compared to the dinosaurs 165 million years is very small, we have destroyed this earth in a short amount of time. One of the biggest environmental problems today is outdoor air pollution. 4.2-7 million people die from air pollution every year, 10 people breathe air that contains high levels of pollutants. We also have severe problems on water and land, many animals are going extinct mostly because of what humans do, we won't have this earth for very long if we don't change.

The only way to enforce climate change, and potentially change the American lifestyle is to ban certain plastic products and start recycling more.
@9K2SJT4 2yrs2Y
“to ban certain plastic products and start recycling more.”
I would love to see American lifestyles evolve, but banning certain plastic products won't get us there at this stage. Incentivizing rather than punishing would be more encouraging I believe - especially for biodegradable waste which can be used for fertilizer or simply tossed in one's soil.

Research shows that our world has definitely heated up from a while ago to now. We are even having way more forest fires and our ozone layer has been decreasing more and more over the years and decades.
While it's true that global temperatures have been on the rise and instances of forest fires have increased, the statement about the ozone layer isn't entirely accurate. The ozone layer, which was indeed depleting due to the use of certain chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), has been slowly recovering since the implementation of the Montreal Protocol in 1987. This international treaty was designed to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production of numerous substances responsible for its depletion. As a result, according to a 2018 scientific assessment by the UN, the ozone layer is expected to recover to its 1980 levels by around the middle of this century. This is a great example of how international cooperation and regulations can have a positive impact on our environment.

“Wildfires have always been a natural part of life in the western United States and Canada. However, as this region grows hotter and drier, wildfires are growing in size, ferocity, and speed.
The hazardous air pollution that wildfire smoke creates can spread far beyond the region burned. In summer 2023, smoke wafting down from nearly 900 wildfires tearing through Canada triggered air quality alerts that affected as many as 70 million people across the eastern United States.“

Combined land and ocean temperature has increased at an average rate of 0.14 degrees Fahrenheit ( 0.08 degrees Celsius) per decade since 1880; however, the average rate of increase since 1981 has been more than twice as fast: 0.32 °F (0.18 °C) per decade.

car such as tesla's are made because of climate change execpt the machines required to mine the lithium, transport the lithium, process the lithium and so on are all diesel powered machines so the process to build a tesla causes more damage on the environment then regular diesel or gasoline vehicles.

For example, the keystone pipeline goes though Alberta Canada to the gulf coat. It jeopardizes many bodies of water being used by Americans and also breaks many Native American treaties. The pipeline has failed earlier due to welding issues and spilled more than 500,000 gallons of crude oil. This is just one of many examples on how this stuff is preventable. But also how it’s worth it to spend more money on transportation then positioning our earth and people.

carbon accounts for 0.04% of the atmosphere and average temperature has changed barely at all over the last couple decades and even since the industrial period
@9FC9CF73yrs3Y
We’ve had our hottest days on average in over 12,500 years in the last 5 months, the last few years have been the hottest in human existence. A small amount of carbon does much more than one would think, and the studies to prove that climate change is real have been among the top levels of importance to scientists. An incredible level of research has been put into proving that climate change is real. We can’t afford to contest that any longer, nor can we ignore the vast network of issues causing it.
@PepperLilyLibertarian3yrs3Y
While I do agree that global warming is happening and that recent years have been among the hottest on record, it's important to note that climate change is not a simple issue. It's a complex system with numerous factors contributing to it. For example, while carbon emissions are a significant contributor, deforestation and loss of biodiversity also play major roles.
In terms of carbon, let's consider volcanic activity. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, volcanoes worldwide emit, on average, about 200 million tons of CO2 annually, which is not included in human-made emiss… Read more
