I would like to hear everyones opinion on this.
Personally I don't view CO2 as a problem. I believe that the idea behind kyoto is to get people to use less fossil fuel. Most CO2 in the atmosphere is not from us.
In Denmark they increase amounts of CO2 in there greenhouses because plants grow quicker. In the earth's history there have been periods with a lot higher CO2 (and live existed just fine).
My question is why target CO2 and not mention anything about NOX or SOX (whcih lead to acid rain) which causes more environment problems than CO2.
Also since there is always the complant about no other options beside kyoto lets here other people ideas.
There are alot of things that can and should be done
- scrubbers on all factories (can reduce acid rain causing chemicals and CO2 by significant amounts, but lobby groups always prevent this)
- Decrease waste going into the dump (I don't know how, more incentives for recycling, more fees for dumping too much)
what are there some other ideas?
