A Comparison of the Environmental Consequences of Power from Biomass, Coal and Natural Gas

Another FAI.  This does put NG in a favorable light.  Not sure about the publication date, though.

But just what is the CO2 problem?

What will happen if it were , or if it could be solved?

I mean seems there are a lot of folks wanting to dig deep in everyone's pocket because of the CO2 problem but how will we know when they have solved it?

What is the CO2 problem, nobody knows for sure, but the earth is responding to something.  The oceans absorb most of the CO2 that's emitted into the atmosphere.  This makes them more acidic, which is not good for sea life.  Coral Reefs are being affected the most, ten percent are already dead and sixty percent are dying.  Coral Reefs are the bottom of the food chain, kill them, and many ocean species goes with them.  Along with this PH drop, the oceans are getting warmer, thus expanding and rising.  Many cold water species are being threatened by other warmer water species that are moving into their once private worlds.  They have no defense except the cold and they are losing ground.  

Is CO2 the only culprit?  No, there's a lot of other things going on also:

A lot of people are arguing about what's going on and who is causing it.  The sun, earth's orbit, where we are in the galaxy, man, and old God himself.  

The point should be, where do we go if this earth gets screwed up and how much is that going to cost?  

 

We could do what everything on earth has been doing since there was an earth..Adapt...
The only problem with adapting is the extinction that takes place before organisms adapt to a different planet.  The dinosaurs adapted and today we raise them by the millions to eat, what a twist, anybody going to eat that last chicken leg?

I liked your energy link, who's using all that stuff?

 

I often wonder how would I get something to eat if the grocery stores went away.  I could make it for awhile, but I don't think I could become 100%.  

Nobody will be able to afford that last chicken leg anyway after paying for all those carbon credits..huh?

Have you priced corn lately?

Too bad those farmers can't feed those birds Natural Gas, huh?
