Quote- Man is responsible for global warming.
Dream on mate
Well,i dont know what planet your living on,but--
https://www.nasa.gov/topics/solarsystem/features/uv-exposure.htmlQuote-NASA scientists analyzing 30 years of satellite data have found that the amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching Earth's surface has increased markedly over the last three decades. Most of the increase has occurred in the mid-and-high latitudes, and there's been little or no increase in tropical regions.
The new analysis shows, for example, that at one line of latitude — 32.5 degrees — a line that runs through central Texas in the northern hemisphere and the country of Uruguay in the southern hemisphere, 305 nanometer UV levels have gone up by some 6 percent on average since 1979.
The primary culprit:
decreasing levels of stratospheric ozone, a colorless gas that acts as Earth’s natural sunscreen by shielding the surface from damaging UV radiation.
http://www.sunsmart.com.au/about/media-campaigns/media-releases/2012-media-releases/media_release_20120916.htmlQuote-Recently published research for the first time examines changes in ultraviolet (UV) radiation in Australia over a period of fifty years (1959-2009). The research found that there has been an overall annual increase in UV levels of 2% to 6% since the 1990s, for locations throughout Australia.
http://www.bom.gov.au/uv/faq.shtmlQuote- In the 1970s, scientists first raised concerns that the production and use of synthetic substances known as chloroflourocarbons (CFCs) might lead to a reduction of ozone in the stratosphere leading to an increase of UVB radiant energy. It was with the discovery of the Antarctic Ozone Hole, however, in the mid 1980s, that the issue of ozone depletion due to
human activity rose to great prominence, leading to the signing of the Montreal Protocol.
http://www.who.int/globalchange/climate/summary/en/index7.htmlQuote-During the 1980s and 1990s at northern mid-latitudes (such as Europe), the average year-round ozone concentration declined by around 4% per decade: over the southern regions of Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and South Africa, the figure approximated 6-7%. Estimating the resultant changes in actual ground-level ultraviolet radiation remains technically complex. However, exposures at northern mid-latitudes, for example, are likely to peak around 2020, with an estimated 10% increase in effective ultraviolet radiation relative to 1980s levels (1).
In the mid-1980s,
governments recognised the emerging hazard from ozone depletion.
The Montreal Protocol of 1987 was adopted, widely ratified, and the phasing out of major ozone-destroying gases began. The protocol was tightened in the 1990s. Scientists anticipate a slow but near-complete recovery of stratospheric ozone by the middle of the twenty-first century.
And the list go's on.
And this applies to my country as well as yours..
If your country is the USA,then we are vastly different.
Here we are free to collect rain water,and have that as our only source of water supply--no charge,no problem.
How do i know?--because that is my source of water.
Now,i know in some states of the USA(maybe all states),that you are not allowed to collect rain water,or have it as your only source of water.
Here in Australia,we have no sun tax,or solar panel tax,where there are states in the USA that tax anyone that has solar panels on the roof.
A reject named Colin Barnett(our states !EX! premier),tried to place a sun tax on those who had solar panels fitted to there roof.
http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/western-australia/johnson-fury-over-solar-rebate-cut/news-story/2f619efa95f3c8380c0997c643dc5773The people of WA banded together,and had that idiotic idea squashed,faster than Barnett came up with it.
But we(the people) were not finished with Barnett yet.
In the following state election,we removed him from power--it's that simple--the people have the power to make change.
Perhaps you can explain to me how buying and trading carbon tax credits will end "Global Warming"?
As i said,this is not rocket science.
A carbon tax is put into place.
The price of electricity go's up.
More people say-to hell with this,and are now more motivated to put solar panels on there roof,to reduce/cut out there power bill.
It is now cheaper for me to pay off a 6Kw solar system,than it is to pay each months power bill.
Most average house holds need only a 3.5Kw system to break even-no power bill,but as we have a pool,spa,and a bore pump,the 6Kw was needed to offset the power bill by 100%--and in summer we will actually go into credit.
We also have a new solar hot water system,which is that efficient that even on cloudy days,delivers enough hot water for all 3 of us to have two hot showers a day.
So,what happens when less and less people draw power from the grid?-yes,thats right--less and less load on the power station's-and that results in less pollution.
This thinking works in all sorts of way's.
For example--a dozen eggs here got to the point where they cost $2.80 a dozen.
We like our egg's,and we would buy at least 2 dozen a week=$5.60
We now have our own chook's,and feed them food scrap's,and some pellets.
Pellets=$1.80 a week,food scraps=free.
Eggs collected=28-30 a week.
Cost of eggs to buy from shop=23.3 cents each
Cost to produce our own eggs=6.4 cents each.
Here in Australia,anyone can have chook's.
Here in Australia,anyone can collect and use rain water.
Here in Australia,anyone can have solar panels,and solar hot water systems.
It is a HOAX based on false information
Global warming is not a hoax--it is a fact.
You and I have no choice! Why do you continue to blame us?
You-I-(the people) have every choice,and i have given you many examples of that.
We are to blame,because we continue to support and use that which they provide us with.
You are under the false impression that the people have no say-no power,when i have given very clear examples that when push come's to shove,it !is! the people that have the power to set things straight.
The only reason that the !powers that be! are doing this,is because you(the people) are allowing them to do it.
Did you run around with a fly swatter,and swat those nasty flies,or did you grab the can of fly spray full of CFC's,and give em what for--the choice was yours.
