There is a psychological name for that: hysteria.

Hysteria is what is happening across the US in regard to "Climate change" or "Global Warming", and your question is a nearly perfect definition of hysteria.

How did the fall of mankind and the flood affect the earth?

The fall of man and Noah's Flood are found in the Book of Genesis, which tells, from a biblical viewpoint, of the impact of these events on mankind. Science has found no evidence that these events ever occurred, and no evidence of any effect on the earth.


Why is it necessary to conserve nonrenewable resources?

That question assume that it is necessary, and opinions on that vary. Some say that we should, as after such resources are gone, we won't be able to do what we were doing with them any more. An example would be oil, which if we run out of it, means that we can't power our cars any more. However, others point out that human creativity will always find another solution. And that we can keep on using the oil to power our cars, at whatever rate we like, as when it runs out, we'll just switch over to solar or hydrogen powered cars. While history shows that the second viewpoint is true, it is still a viewpoint. It will thus depend mostly on your own world view as to which answer you are comfortable with. A nonrenewable resource is just that, once it's gone there will be no more . Unless we can live without it , then we must limit our use of these things. Even some things that were considered "renewable resource's" , Atlantic cod , whales, soon the Pacific salmon species.


What is meant by electric field intencity?

An electric field can be represented diagrammatically as a set of lines with arrows on, called electric field-lines, which fill space. Electric field-lines are drawn according to the following rules: The direction of the electric field is everywhere tangent to the field-lines, in the sense of the arrows on the lines. The magnitude of the field is proportional to the number of field-lines per unit area passing through a small surface normal to the lines. Thus, field-lines determine the magnitude, as well as the direction, of the electric field. In particular, the field is strong at points where the field-lines are closely spaced, and weak at points where they are far apart. Electric Field intensity It was stated that the electric field concept arose in an effort to explain action-at-a-distance forces. All charged objects create an electric field which extends outward into the space which surrounds it. The charge alters that space, causing any other charged object that enters the space to be affected by this field. The strength of the electric field is dependent upon how charged the object creating the field is and upon the distance of separation from the charged object. In this section of Lesson 4, we will investigate electric field from a numerical viewpoint - the electric field strength.

What were Democritus ideas about atoms?

Democritus' only belief about atoms was that they were one of the possibilities when debating the structure of matter.The Ancient Greeks loved to debate things, with a very strong liking for the abstract. One of the essentials for a debate is that one or more people should support one side, and one or more should support the other. If everyone agrees on something no debate is possible, which the Greeks would have regarded as no fun at all.The original question was "Can matter be divided indefinitely, or will you eventually find a small unit which can not be further divided ?". Democritus argued that there was a limit, after which things become indivisible. The Greek word for indivisible was atomos from which we got the word atom. Many people feel that the word atom and the very concept of indivisibility,were the only two things of interest that came out of this great debate.In fact, there was one more thing, that was conspicuous only by its absence. The Greeks argued, and argued, and argued; they discussed and debated and argued, and they talked and they talked and they talked. Not once did the Greeks look for evidence. Did they do lots of experiments ? Oh my goodness ! No! None at all. Not one. An experiment would have meant doing rather than talking; doing was work and work was done by slaves (of which they had many). No Greek would demean himself by working.It is difficult for us, at this remove, to pass any judgment on the Greeks viewpoint. What we can say, with 20/20 hindsight, is that the Greeks contributed remarkably little to engineering and even less to physics or chemistry. However, their contribution to politics, philosophy and mathematics is a stunning legacy. They did much more than their share for the advancement of human knowledge.
