What is the greatest environmental cost of fossil fuels?

This leads to global warming, rising sea levels, and more extreme weather patterns, all of which have detrimental effects on ecosystems and biodiversity.


How much do wind turbines reduce global warming?

They do not reduce global warming in any way they are just a source of electricity, like solar power and hydroelectricity. Solar power and wind power are renewable power sources but hydroelectricity is not due to the cost of construction and the dams breaking.


What are the skeptics' views on global warming?

A: There is no one skeptics' view on global warming. Some examples are:Some skeptics say the world is not warming at all. In fact a few even say that the world is cooling, although this flies in the face of meteorological records.Some say that if the world is warming, that is great. They think that global warming means warmer winters and more agricultural production, with no ill effects.Some say that if the world is warming, they realise that there will be winners and losers, but we expect to be among the winners. Losers could include inhabitants of Pacific Islan nations and Bangladesh, and perhaps some of our own coastal communities, but a lot of winners will live in richer nations.Some say that if the world is warming, there is nothing we can do about it. Variations on this include denying that atmospheric carbon dioxide is contributing to global warming, or that we are too powerless to stop rising levels.Some accept that global warming is real and that greenhouse gases are contributing to it, but say that rising greenhouse gas levels are not the result of human activity.Some claim that the short-term economic cost of halting global warming is more important than the long-term cost of climate change. A variation on this is to say that the evidence for global warming is still unconvincing to some, so why pay a cost now for a future benefit that might not materialise.A:Some think it isn't happening at all. They claim that more recent temperature readings are tainted by the Urban Heat Island effect.Others think even if it is happening, humans bear very little, if any, of the responsibility for it.They also point to NATURAL cycles of the Earth, the Sun, and our solar system's movement through the galaxy.Others think that, whether it is caused by humans or not, the results are not nearly as bad as predicted.


How much would it cost to stop global warming?

Why are people still causing global warming?

There is not enough renewable energy (solar, wind, water etc), so people still have to use fossil fuel energy (coal, oil and natural gas), which is causing global warming. Ordinary people can lower their energy use at home, and they can educate their parents or children, and they can lobby politicians, but until governments make industry pay the true cost of carbon pollution, then global warming will continue.
